That sounds like a good starting point. I used some Bear Creek 180's over 4.0 grains of WST a couple of weeks ago and, although I didn't chrono them, they seemed to be about right, maybe a little hot.
I forgot to say that they were loaded to 1.16 with Federal primers and they functioned just fine in an EAA Witness with an 11 pound recoil spring.

I'm not going to be able to make it to the match. I wish I could, though.
Good luck. I'm sure it will be a great match.

This isn't the best picture, but hopefully it helps. Like Mike said it tapers to nothing in about 1/4 of an inch.

Nealio,
I have some mags from Henning and they are filed down similarly to Mike's. We have a gauge at our club in Idaho Falls so if you get a chance to shoot one of our matches you could check your mags out there.

Is this legal
in CZ
I had the same question a year or so ago. I sent John A. an e-mail and as far as I understood him it would be okay to do this. That being said, the whole issue is pretty grey and what John gave me was his opinion, not an official ruling.
The production rules state that you can make a Glock "C" model legal by replacing the barrel. This gun would still have the 'C' on the slide, but would be legal so the slide markings shouldn't be a problem. Like Walküre said, there are CZ's on the list that have the upswept beaver tail, but they aren't exact matches. I'm not shooting this gun in production, but if I did I'd carry pics of the Stainless and Omega frames and a copy of John's e-mail with me. I can try to find it if you would like a copy.

I wonder if something as simple as the targets moving in the target stands could have exposed a little more of one of them?
The original "moving" target was replaced by the two static targets as mentioned above. The steel hardcover was held in with spikes and buried under 6" of dirt to cover the original targets. The original group that shot the movers were required to reshoot the stage during the match. The two (replacement) static targets were "witnessed" and never moved during the match. The hardcover target did not move either and is still being dug out from the range.

On stage 7 the target sticks were screwed into the stands and the stands staked to the ground. The hard cover stands were buried in the ground, so I don't know how the targets were moved. They were only handled by the 3 RO's on the stage, so I am faily confident they were the same for everyone.
That shows how little I know about running a major match. Target sticks screwed into the stands. You guys thought of everything.
It was an excellent match. Thanks to all involved.

Thanks to Tim and everyone involved for a great match.

Most of the bays have gravel in them but a few have a kind of bare dirt gravel mix. I know that's not a very good description so hopefully someone else will chime in.

I used to shoot .40 minor out of a Glock 35 with jacketed bullets. I used 3.3 to 3.4 grains of Clays and loaded to 1.13. Due to the extra speed you'll get from the moly bullet, I'd say that salilus' load would be a good place to start.

I'll jump in with everyone else and say the Shadow if you like a heavier gun. If you want a lighter gun other than the 85 Combat or don't want to spend so much on the Shadow, the guns with firing pin blocks can still have excellent trigger jobs done on them.

Oops. I didn't read calishootr's post.

KWD,
NT brass is from non-toxic loads. It normally has crimped primers and needs to be swaged.
-
I use WST for everything. I haven't found a reason to switch to something else.
-
I bought the gun used and it was already IonBonded, but Springer Precision's price list shows it being $165 for just the slide and frame. I don't know what the turn around is.
-
I don't know how much you are looking to spend, but you can get the frame and slide IonBonded for $165. I had a gun that was IonBonded and it is the best gun finish I have ever seen.
-
I don't think you can go wrong with either a Glock or CZ for your handgun. I'm sure there are a bunch of other good choices out there too.
-
I think that you will be in Limited division, but I'm not up to date on 3 gun rules.

This is probably a dumb question, but is the Supersight slide cut the same as a standard Bomar cut? Can I replace it with one of the Bomar knock off sights?

The pre-travel screw is on the trigger but you need to remove the trigger to get to it and adjust it.
aha! Thanks! Don't suppose you could point me towards good info on how to remove the trigger?I don't remove the trigger, I just remove the slide. With the slide off, you just stick the allen wrench down into the back of the trigger at about a 45 degree angle while pulling the trigger and you can feel it when it goes in. Then, rotate clockwise to reduce the pre-travel, rotate counter-clockwise to increase the pre-travel. If you go too far, there is a point where the sear won't reset (or will reset very slowly) so you NEED some pre-travel.

That's a good tip. I'll have to give it a try.

I have a brand new "Gold Custom" ambidextrous thumb safety that doesn't fit my hand very well. Would anyone be willing to trade an "Extended" ambidextrous thumb safety for it?
Thanks

I didn't know that. I guess I should pay closer attention to things. In that case, I highly recommend Jim as a great guy to do the weld up.

I don't know about Jim, but if he doesn't work out for you try EGW. I had them weld up and fit the frame on my open gun. They did a great job and the gun is as good as new.
One of the rails in my G34 frame is gone...

The couple of replaced frames I've seen have had the same serial number but with a 2 at the end.
