Hey jake, Welcome. This is a great forum, lots of people to help. I have some of your steel. It's good stuff.

Update - Texas bound 101. We had a very interesting trip to Texas. Got caught in 12+ inches of rain in San Antonio so that messed with our plans. Drove from Lampasas to San Antonio on Rt 281, loved it, beautiful country. Also drove west out of Waco and was impressed with that area too. Drove north from La Grange on Rt 77 to Waco, good farm country, again very impressed. Things about Texas - long straight roads, no potholes and coming from Colorado that is a statement. Very clean, did not see alot of trash along the road. Very green, more so than I expected....not sure what it looks like in August. People are great, custiomer service at resturants is second to none. Great gas prices, better than Colorado and we have good prices here. Humidity that won't quit, not sure about shooting in 105 tempratures with 80% humidity. Bottom line - other than the heat/humidty I could find no fault. Now I just have to find a job. Texas here we come. Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions on areas to check out.

The Pine area had a fire about 10 years ago. My property has few trees, looks a little Bagdad like. But I can shoot on it. So I am OK with few trees but I am a little partial to the San Antonio area. I have been to Texas many times and was always impressed with that area and we Plan on spending 2 days there . Of course I need to find a job and we all know that's overrated . I'll post after we get back. It's going to be a busy 5 days

This posting was perfect timing. My wife and I are also intending to move to Texas. We are coming down next weekend , over the holiday. Not sure how much we can cover in 5days but going to give it a try. Colorado looking a little too much like California for my taste. Found a google map showing all the USPSA clubs in texas, could not believe the number. Looking forward to the trip and thank everyone for the general location tips. We plan to spend several days in the areas you highlighted. Hope to see you at a match within the next year. Both my wife and I shoot.

My wife and I have STI GMs and they have been great. Both in 38 SC. Our first open guns and we love shooting open . I would recommend them if money was tight but if you have 5k then go with the others you mentioned. The only fault I see is the factory triggers are poor and they're heavy. But they're flat shooting, comp works great with SR 7625 @ 7.2 grs.

I just loaded Power Pistol at 6.4 grs, Berrys 230 FMJ. Got exceptional results from such a small pistol.

Jensey, My wife started with a Taurus 1911 in 45. She had problems develop over time due to the recoil and muzzle blast. When I finally convinced her to shoot a 9mm her scores and times improved dramatically so now she beats me every once in awhile . Start with a 9. Shoot Production division where you aren't penalized for shooting minor. Also look at the Springfield XDM series which is what my wife was shooting. The XDM comes with interchangeable back straps to help people with small hands. Though you can't go wrong with the 1911, we own several.

Welcome to the forum, great place for info. I'm here in CO too. Been reloading for more than 30 years. Let me know if I can help

Hey guys, Talk about customer service. I was contacted by the inventor, even though he didn't sell me the machine he helped me troubleshoot it. It is up and running, found a bad connection. Thanks for everyone's input.

Hey guys, tried that. I even pulled the micro switch so I can make sure I was depressing the little blue button. Nothing. Switch is made in China,that's my first clue. I don't own a VOM and even if I did I wouldn't know what to check. Thanks for responding.

Happy New Year to everyone Just installed my first Mr Bulletfeeder. I have a green light on the power supply but I don't get any rotation. I suspect bad news but was hoping I might have missed something. Any ideas? Thanks

damn

Ok, confession time . Am I being cheap. I did find one locally for 1300 but that seems much higher than the norm.

Thanks everyone. I've seen several of the VM Zombie green tactical but not sure I wanted to go that route. Has anyone seen one of those up close. Didn't want to order that sight unseen. I've checked everywhere. Has anyone done business on Guns America and if so any isues

Guys and gals, Anyone know where I can get a Versamax Tactical.
