[Check my data please 9 major]

I would suggest trying a bit shorter OAL.  1.165" with 6.8 in mine made 169 PF.  A slight decrease in OAL can make huge difference.

[Electronic over ear protection with high quality sound]

I've always been a big fan of Pro-Ears.

[Back into shooting after 30’years.]

We have several matches in the San Antonio area.  Welcome back and to the forums.

[1911 parts site?]

Let us not forget Brownells, they carry just about everything.

[Greetings]

Welcome, you came to the right place for finding information.

[.223 case sizing question]

Rifle brass stretches when it's shot.  Cases for .223 need to be between 1.750 and 1.760 inches.  If they are longer than 1.760", you need to trim your brass.

I'm not sure what we are going to talk about once USPSA makes their mind up on the division......

Using the practiscore what if feature.  What if I was scored major.

[Wacha Thimk (of this finish)?]

Damn!  That looks really nice.  Something tells me that you might be getting business from people.

[Scotch or Bourbon]

Bourbon, Blackened!  It's Metallica's bourbon.  Very smooth and easy to drink.

[Primer selection]

Yes, I have used thousands of those in AR's over the past few decades.  Not once have I ever had a slam fire.  Hope that helps out.

[9mm bullets - which to buy?]

Everglades has 124 gr. FMJ for $169/2000 shipped.  Run great in my carry op and 9 major.

[Hello from OK]

Far out, welcome back to the game!

[Does anybody load 9MM minor "long"?]

I load all of my 9mm to 1.165".  That way I don't have to adjust my dies from major to minor.  I've run it that long for minor in P320, G17, XD and my pre-ban Colt AR-15 9mm.  Never had any problems.........yet.

[Who makes the most reliable 1911 single stack .45 magazine]

For me it's Tripp Research hands down.  I've been running them for well over a decade and that's all I recommend.

[New guy from TX]

Glad to have you.  Lots of good matches in south/central Texas.

[Who would you pick to make your double stack 9 for SAO optic (if it happens)]

Two options:. Either have a new upper made for my limited gun or find a Para p18 and have the slide milled.  Gotta save money somewhere.

[Lubing pistol brass]

I use carbide dies and never use lube on pistol brass.  Rifle, I use One Shot.

Whatever engineer at Norma came up with the small flash hole nine brass needs publicly flogged.

Absolutely!  Along with the genius who thought small primer .45 ACP was a good idea.

[Love Shooting!]

Welcome to THE shooting encyclopedia.  Enjoy!

[P320 low profile slide catch?]

The slide release is ambidextrous, you still have the right side to use.

[Forums were down...]

Thank you Brian.  I was starting to freak out.

[Hello from San Antonio, TX]

Come on out and shoot some action pistol with us.  Alpha Mike match is the third Sunday of the month and River City is the fourth Sunday.

[Recommendation for a good degreaser]

+1 for brake cleaner!

[You don’t ever “clean” your barrel?!]

I rarely deep clean my pistol barrels.  I do clean the chamber and feed ramp really well.  Rifles on the other hand are a totally different animal!  Accuracy suffers drastically when rifles get heavy copper fouling.

[STI Gen 1 mag issue]

I have several that do the same thing.  It's only a pain when inserting the first round.  If the mags otherwise run flawlessly, it's really not a big deal.
