    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

     

     

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. There is no "best press. The choice for a reloading press is IMO very personal and dependent on a set of parameters: # of rounds reloaded and shot, space for the press, technical experience, etc. , but more importantly the time you want to spend on the press and your budget. All presses have their advantages and disadvantages, lovers and haters, and presses that run flawlessly, as well as presses that go from one issue to another ... . Try to find someone who has the press(es) you're interested in and go see and feel it. If not possible, check out Youtube: lots of user reviews available.

     

    Good luck!

    I'd rather not... since you just voted yourself into possession of illegal magazines...
    Belgium law clearly states that only IPSC shooters (= active membership) have the right to possess 170mm HG magazines, otherwise you are restricted to 20 round mags for HG.

    Regarding the lawmaking and speed and f*#kery lately, I'd rather keep it as is...
    Germany already got f*#ked with their HG and PCC magazines...

     

    Also true
