We should go back to the 2004 rule set and leave it alone.
bruce, can you explain why changing every single thing possible on my gun externally is fine and dandy, but allowing trigger jobs will somehow lead to the destruction of the division?
Amen.

If Production gun "A" (CZ Shadow) comes from the "factory" with a better trigger than Production Gun "B" (Glock-17),the "B" gun can never be improved to match the "A" gun.
Most newbies start out with the Glock, XD, or some other inexpensive gun they can improve along the way. In the end, the little guy will lose out if he can't improve his platform. He could, but we won't let him. He must go out and buy the more expensive gun from the get-go.
I own both, btw.

Flex ... tell me I misunderstood you...
Are you saying we have enough production shooters now that we don't need to continue to promote the sport and try to recruit new shooters?
I wish folks would stop crying like babies and shoot the same box stock gun as everyone else. Is this forum about improving our shooting or our gunsmithing?
For someone who has only been a member of USPSA for less than a year, I wouldn't be so rude. Quite a few of us have been around a little longer than you.

Agreed, jobob.
Why is it legal to install a $300.00 pair of Bomars on a Production gun, but internal trigger work is the hill some are picking to die on? Why let shooters put match barrels in their guns, but flip out over a freakin' .02 set screw.
We had 15 Production shooters at our monthly match 2 weekends ago. The second biggest division was Limited at 7.
Production is growing. New shooters LIKE it.

Free entry for Jr.s and Ladies, not GM's.
Promote the sport from the bottom, not the top. The GM shooters will be there anyway.

This is my favorite match of the year. If I can only go to one, this is it. Great match, people, and range. One of the things that helps me a lot is that John post the match dates a year in advance. I have to put in for vacation by Oct. for the next year. I have the Miss dates, so that is when I take my vacation.
My Grandmother grew up in Crystal Springs, so I usually take a day to trace some ancestry while in Miss.

Looking forward to seeing you, Daniel.

ScooterJ, I hope to shoot the match again.
Great match for those who can make it.

45 acp with biggest bullet you can find. Load in the range of 180 pf. Flat point bullets work great. Hit the pins just above the widest part.

The lighter, the faster.

+1 to the bed and breakfast idea.
My wife and I renewed our vows with the same preacher and best man at bed a breakfast. We also invited our close family. I gave my wife her 10 year anniversary band during the ceremony. She was very surprised.
Happy 10th!

Happy New Year!!!
Make a promise to yourself to bring at least 1 new shooter into the sport.

I teach this on a daily basis:
The Four Laws Of Gun Safety
1. Always treat every gun as if it's loaded, even if it's not.
2. Never point a gun a something you are not willing to destroy.
3. Always be sure of your target and what's beyond it.
4. Never put your finger inside the trigger gaurd until you are ready to shoot.
Mr. Muzzleoader broke at least laws 1 and 2.
Our range has very strict rules about handling guns with others down range. You can't even adjust a scope...no touching allowed. Of course when you explain this, the first thing someone like this will say is: "It's not loaded..."
The second most popular answer is, "I didn't know ..."
Good luck.

My wife and I had the same happen with epileptic seizures and the meds you mentioned to our female Sheltie. It was a painful time when she passed away...broke our hearts. She was a real sweet, gentle little lady. It was hard to watch her go through the seizures, but when she died, I took solace in knowing we did everything we could for her, and she was no longer suffering.
I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dave,
I shoot a 38 spl in my 627 PC gun.
Can I use the same Hearthcos for short Colt brass?
Thanks!
-
I have a new Shadow, as well.
+1 on the Winchester white box from Wal-Mart. The Rem UMC does have some feed problems because of the short over-all length. Also, the Precision (Black) Bullet is great in anything BUT the CZ. The truncated cone shape and the ramp/chamber don't like each other. I do like the 147 Precision in my G-17.
As per conversation with Angus, I'm working up a load with 124 grain rn, fmj.
The lighter bullets feel better in the CZ, and like another on this thread said, not as "sluggish."

I've known Max since he was 10 years old. He shot with us at a club in Amite, LA. He was always a very polite young man, and I'm glad to see him do so well. He's still the same nice guy after all these years.
I remember a match in 1994 we had there. It was a Limited gun only format the club was trying out (Limited was new at the time). We had about 50 shooters and Little Max came in 5th overall shooting an EAA 9mm. That meant 45 grown men had to go home and tell their wives/girlfriends they just got beat by a 12 year old shooting minor.
He'll do very well for Sig, or anybody else he represents.
Keep going Max!

They are here until friday, I have the carpet cleaner at the ready to hand to dad-in-law when needed.
I will win or be divorced by friday.
Thanks for the laugh...
Merry Christmas!

Dave - Book max is 3.2 grains...just FYI.
I realize that rev, I tried the max using Clays 38 spcl data and saw that it was
WAY under powered, that's how I came up with the 4.0 load.
357 Mag data lists 4.6 grns as max so I felt I was safe.
Now, back to RickB, if your looking for a load for a 20-30 yr old airweight,
then don't use the above, if your looking for a load for a 38/357 mag revo
then the posted load of 3.9/4.0 might do the trick.
AND !!! that's with a plated Berry's type soft lead or lead rnd nose load,
all bets are off if you switch to jacketed bullet heads.
+1

Heads up!! I know a very dear friend of mine who has been in the shooting for many
years, classified as GM!! have loaded a million times and had a tragic accident? He was loading the manual pick up
tubes when it was 3/4 filled. Then a primer got stuck and kind of angled its way on the hole
exposing the sharp edge to the bottom of the next primer(only explanation). When he tapped the tube on the table,
BANG!!!! ALUMINUM BITS ALL OVER AND THE LEFT POINTING FINGER WAS CUT ON THE FIRST JOINT. Doctor
could not save it and had to amputate the first joint.He is now trying to recover and it will be awhile before he can learn how to shoot again. This time he will have to learn Right hand shooting since he use to be left hand shooter. Any comment?? Lucky for me, I use RF100 primer filler and never have to use to fill up primer manually.
Damn.
I've been at it 20 years and that's a new one.
Hope he'll be OK.

Don't but a PACT. Customer service is horrible.
-
3.9 grains of Clays is a 127 PF in my 627. Very tight chrono numbers too.
-
I have a new Shadow SP-01, as well. It does the very nasty jam that you're talking about. It'll do it with Winchester whitle box, reloads..all ammo.
I'll be trying a 10 lb. spring the CZ Custom Shop sent me in the coming days. I'll post the results.
-
Agreed, Richard.
Simple should be the way it's done. The notion that some match official would be tearing into our guns looking for a .25 set-screw is ridiculous.
Illegal Production Trigger Mods
in USPSA/IPSC Rules
Posted · Edited by BlackSabbath
Curtis,
In central Mississippi, Production is the largest, fastest growing division. Many, many new shooters are loving Production. They don't complain about the rules one bit. And,the shooters that have been around 5, 10, 15+ years don't complain about the rules. Nobody does! The only time you'll hear anything negative is when the BOD starts messing with the rules (Read: Costing shooters $$$).
Maybe for once, things are right and should be left alone.
Novel concept, eh?
