Thanks for everyone’s input! My local dealer gave me a deal on a New CZ TSO in 40 so I pulled the trigger haha
Nice! What did you get it for?
I recommend the ghost "the one" holster for USPSA.

What everyone else said. You can get into a used .40 STI for not much more than a suitable CZ, so unless you want a CZ for some reason or don't have any primers, look around for a deal on a STI. Try a local WTB ad too (tons of scammers with online WTBs, so be real careful there)
Going to have to respectfully disagree here, I rarely see a used STI/ 2011 going for sub 1750. Used TSO's frequently go for sub 1500, I got mine with 500 rounds on it for 1200. A used TSO/ TS in .40 is hands down the best choice for someone looking to get into lim major on a budget.
-
As someone who started with a budget lim minor gun and did progressive upgrades to it, I'd say just get the gun you want the first time around. If you want to be competitive at all in limited you'll need to be shooting major. Will keep you on par with your CO buddies at your local too.
-
I dont think the .40 TS2's have wide availability in the US yet. That said I'm sure any of the TS2 slides will fit on the "green" model, regardless of it's original trim. That is pure speculation though
-
No one "bothers to engage them" while running because there is no real reason to do so during that time. Other safety procedures are in place to prevent accidents during this time. I think we can all agree that reholstering a loaded firearm is probably the most dangerous thing that we do (at least statistically thats where the most incidents occur). Single action safties are engaged during this time making them WAY more safe than a potentially unsafely modified striker fired gun such as is being discussed here.
-
Depends what sort of holster you need for what sport, but the TS2 is a limited gun so you can run a locking race holster. I use a ghost the one, there are a bunch of options out there. No need to worry about finding which one can fit a thumb rest because they all do.

For years Limited was the biggest division by far and as such had the most heat at any given local match, so per your logic that was a bad thing?
Limited is a catch-all division for new and casual shooters, which accounted for a considerable percentage of its player base. That is much different from CO, a division with unprecedented exponential growth over the span of just a few years. Balance is important.
-
Was carry optics any less fun a year ago before all the rule changes were made? You can make divisions unique without making them "less fun"

first is that's where the heat is, and I'd rather shoot in a division that has more good shooters.
This is an important point too. I cant help but think some competitors are joining CO just because that's where the heat is. If that is the only reason to join a division we clearly have an issue. If there is only one real division to compete in this game gets a lot less fun, and we shouldn't be contributing to that issue more by making CO rules more and more open.

Throw in the perceived need for a $3K+ custom blaster and it's small wonder CO is going nuts.
Wouldn't this be an argument against 2011's in CO? Adding perceived need for a 3k+ gun?
Personally I think the sport works best with your racegun divisions, and your non racegun (production) divisions. Every time you change the rules to make the production gun divisions edge closer to the race gun divisions, you take a little away from what makes the divisions fun and unique. What is the point of having different divisions if they're all shooting virtually the same gun? Some would like to ignore the fact that making these changes hurts other divisions. Allowing 2011's in CO hurts open whether you care or not. The explosive growth of CO is not healthy for the sport in general in my opinion, but people clearly like it the way it is, why keep changing it? An important question imo is if adding single actions to CO add more to CO than it does detract from other divisions, and I think it doesn't. Let the racegun divisions have their single actions, we dont need to change the rules again just so the 4 people who actually carry CO style 2011's dont have to shoot in open

Welcome! I'm working though practical shooting training myself right now. All of those books will be great, I'd say pick any one and work through it. Heavy and efficient focus on dry fire starting out will help you progress quite rapidly, I've found PST helpful in that regard (dry fire drills and live fire drills to confirm what you're learning). Good luck to ya.
-
Right, but those guns you're referring to are designed around a firing system with a fully cocked striker. Their safeties are mechanically designed around a gun with a fully cocked striker. Glock safeties are not, tampering with a factory glock firing system to make it function with a fully cocked striker is not the same as a gun that comes designed that way from the factory.
-
Wow. What do you think is the cause? An issue with the striker guns or more with how the club is run? Also curious to know if they were newer shooters.

Not sure if that depends on how it's adjusted or not.
Johnny glock has some great videos about trigger modifications and making sure the safeties are still functional. It's very easy to test if they still work after adjustment, but I would venture to guess many may not know about the importance of doing so. Part of the problem with how easy glocks are to upgrade, is how easy they are to upgrade.

do they still work with a 2# aftermarket trigger kit?
It is very, very easy to unintentionally disable some of the safeties in a glock by fiddling with the pre travel/ over-travel etc.
I agree with the original post, I would say that a striker fired trigger with disabled safety features (whether intentional or not) is akin to running a single action without a safety. Interesting point OP. And lord, 2 people shot themselves at your local in the span of a year? Something isn't right there.

It did not seem to dip when going back into battery
This is something that can be difficult to percept, if you have someone take a slow motion video (iPhone will do) you will be able to see the difference.
What I did was take slow mo of the all the different springs, watched them back side by side, and picked the one that had the best return to zero.

So I finally had a free minute to try this out, and the answer to my original question in this thread is "the spent primer cup will be in the way".
This is easily solved by upgrading to the spent primer tube-shoot and doing away the cup. Plenty of designs already available for that online, downside is you have to grab some nylon tubing which is a bit of a hassle.
That said, I printed a test version of the relocation bracket and it worked like a charm. I'm printing a full- strength version of it now and will report back once I have a few hundred rounds loaded on it to see how it holds up.

That's a recipe for disaster in my opinion.
Completely agree. Without lowering the PF floor, bad bad idea. Although it seems that lowering PF to be on par with IPSC is a popular enough idea, we may see it at some point.

What keeps someone from doing that in open?
Tons and tons of people shoot regular production guns like glocks etc. in limited. Limited being the catch all divisions for new shooters, I think allowing 9 major will encourage some to try and run it through those guns.
Open in general is a division people end up in, rather than start in. Someone with a production style gun, as mentioned above, and wants to shoot a dot is much more likely to go to CO than open.

If it were there would be no 40sw brass in the brass buckets at my home club
This is a good point. I was worried about brass availability when I started loading .40, it has not been an issue at all. Bought a big box of once fired to start out but ended up not really needing it, range pick ups have been decently easy to come across.

Stop trying to resurrect dinosaur divisions
The main message in this thread has been "limited makes sense the way it is", nothing to do with CO or "resurrecting" divisions

I've always wondered why 9 major isn't allowed in Limited
I have wondered the same, again I'm not advocating for it, but I imagine it has to do with capacity/ safety/ a bit of residual rules from the old days.
But yes I really doubt it changes much. Nasty recoil for 3+ rounds? I dont see it making much of a difference. It certainly won't kill .40 which is was my original intent to the post. My original point is that I like .40 because I can make major power factor without pushing the capability of my gun and rounds, which makes it desirable in the sport despite being a dead caliber elsewhere
-
From what I understand the springs cost like 18 dollars after shipping from Dillon. Cant get them free anymore apparently.
I also like the idea of being physically incapable of double charging a round. If the springs are the ultimate solution why does Dillion make the models with a failsafe rod?
It will take me 10 minutes to model a new bracket, I just wanted to see if there was a glaring reason not to *mechanically*. That file then gets posted and serves as a free solution to anyone with access to a printer. No money on springs, no money on a new powder slider.
Just because a solution already exists doesn't mean other options can't be valid
Thanks for the input regardless

Doubt it. Thats kinda my point, allowing 9 major won't really detract much from .40 imho. But again, I think its a bad idea to encourage people to run 9 major through their glocks etc. I think if you allow 9 major in limited you'll see a considerable uptick in people trying to run it through guns not designed to handle those pressures. Dropping the PF floor might be a solution to that issue though.

Great! Been curious about that once since I saw it.
