  1. I had and still have a Dillon S1050 and bought an Apex10, which I automated and upgraded gradually. The Apex10 is my primary reload press. I'm a competitive IPSC shooter in Open Division and shoot a 2011 9mm major. So reloading is a critical process. Therefor I still have and will keep the Dillon S1050 as my secondary press for when the Apex10 would break down. Super happy with the Apex10!

  2. 3rd & 1st person view video with performance analysis of my last VDSZ IPSC HG Level 1 Match with 8 stages. Results: 1st OD and a fantasy division. VDSZ was my secondary IPSC club, SNPS is my primary IPSC club, where as of 01032024 we started training twice per week. To balance my private and professional life, I had to make a hard choice. I want to thank the management of the VSCZ Shooting Range, all my fellow VDSZ IPSC Competition Team shooters, with special attention to fellow RO and PI Geert H. for his help, support and friendship! Hope to see you all soon at future matches ...

    As I'm looking for and open gun but do not have prior experience with open guns I have the following question.

    When in good condition is an older strayer Voight 2011  like the one below worthwhile considering?strayer-voigt-2011.jpg

    Things I'd look for are:

    - Approximate round count, incl. minor or major loads

    - Prior usage (USPSA, Steel Challenge, etc.)

    - Overall condition, how does it look (carbon settings, breach face, comp, etc.)

    - Does everything work flawlessly (safety, mag release)

    - Fit of slide to frame (not too much movement)

    - Status of the frame and slide to look for any cracks

    - Fit of comp on barrel (alligned, straight, no movement)

    - Status of barrel rifling

     

     

  4. I have the automated Apex 10 as my primary reload press and the Super 1050 (previous gen of the RL1100) as my back up press for all my 9mm major ammo. Both are actually great presses, but the built and quality of the Apex is superior to the Dillon and more importantly the Apex has 10 stations, which enables you to set up any and all dies, incl. a seperate seating and crimp dies, and can be upgraded with great tools made by and for the Apex. I think at the end it's predominantly a budgettary decision. If you can make the budgets available I strongly recommend the Apex over the Dillon.

  5. Several competitive shooters I know shoot the CZ Czechmate in open division with 9mm minor ammo, incl. a 9 lbs recoil spring. The gun works fine. The comp is not really effective due to the minor load and limited gas creation thereof. In addition, if you shoot IPSC or USPSA, you get less points for C's and D's in minor vs. 9mm major, which puts you in a competitive disadvantage.
