Yep I see the 2nd hand one sold last night. I was a pretty good deal but something else will come up I hope.
-
Thoughts?
2nd hand Dillon 650 XL with 2 sets of dies, case feeder, 2 powder measures, strong mount, etc for $1600. 6 years old but not used for 5, or so he says.
or
New 650 with dies but nothing else for $1300?

this will be for 9mm, prob 223 and maybe some case prep for 6.5CM

I was shooting an older CZ in 9mm tonight and I liked it a lot. Sounds like the shadow 2 is the better option for sure. And if I’m that worried about a few $100 then I’m totally in the wrong sport!

If you're shooting IPSC I would stay away from the 34 and look at a 17 instead.
Why the 17 over the 34? Sorry, if I don’t ask seemingly basic (to you guys) questions I’ll never learn.

Make sure that the gun your looking at fits the division and game your planning on competing in. The best recommendation I can give you is show up at the local match, befriend some fellow shooters. Learn everything you can about the divisions, and think heavily on which division would best fit you. After you decide on which division, find out what the predominating platforms for that division are. That is the platform I would recommend investing in. All to often I see people go out and just buy something without researching, then get to a match and get stuck in a division they really can't compete or even learn in with the gear they purchased. Wasted money would have been put to better use buying ammo for practice.
Excellent advise. Thanks!

What do you want to do?
My first guess is IPSC. The Glock should work OK for the Production Optics, or PO Light division. Not sure how long PO Light will be around, though.
Here in Northern Europe, people gravitate towards CZ pistols. CZ Shadow 2 for example.
My first choice was the CZ 75 Shadow 2 but they are like $2499. The G34 Gen 5 is ONLY!! $1799. This rabbit hole is worst than precision rifle!

Depends on what competitions you're considering, and the
availability and price of other calibers, e.g. .45 and .40.
If 9mm ammo is $20/box and .40 / .45 are $50/box, I'd
probably stick with the 9mm. If they're similar, I'd consider
the .40, if you are using the gun for something that benefits
you from using Major loading. But, I don't know what you're
planning on using the gun for.
Can you, or do you, reload ?
You present too little information to be able to provide
valuable observations.
9mm is way cheaper then anything else which is why I'm looking to go 9mm.
Yes I reload (started when I was 12 doing shotshell) and am well set up for precision rifle but not yet setup for pistol of any sort.
I present little info because I just don't know but wanted to go to the club with ideas and some understanding so I don't come across as a complete dick.

I’m really only looking at 9mm but should I consider others?

New to handguns but been shooting rifles and guns for almost 50 years.
Looking for ideas on what to buy as my first gun. With my limited knowledge I’m leaning towards a Glock 34 MOS Gen5.
These sell here for $1799 with equates to US$1195 to we get shafted badly by the importers.
Looking for opinions on what I should consider for a beginners gun that I can grow into. Purely for competition use only.

Hi guys. Got directed here from the guys over at accurate shooter forum. New to handguns but been shooting since I was 5.
Beginners options
in Miscellaneous BEginners
Posted
It’s been suggested over on another forum I should consider the Hornady LNL AP.
I don’t see too many good words about it here but they are mostly older posts.
What are the current options?
