Nerves

I don't have the picture any more...But there several in my life time that come to mind. First. Kenya (near Narobi National Park) I stood near a mountain overlooking the red clay plane to the north, and to the east (just by turning your head) the ocean, southwest and almost behing me, Snow covered mountain tops. Sun was setting and there was thousand or wild animals moving in the valley....Just Breath Taking.. Second: Seyshelles Sunrise any day any Island....The Granite Island, reflecting the turcoise/greenish water at sunrise is just freaking awesome... Many other's, but those are some that I tell everyone they must see...(Yosemite, Summer in Alaska, Kuwaii, Paris at Night, Torre Molinos in Spain, etc.)

Thanks for all the Advice...

...Well ordered all my reloading equipment from Brain E. (Great Guy, Actually picked-up the phone!), should be arriving any day now....thanks for all the great advice.

I hate to add to the debate, but as a new IPSC/USPSA shooter, why is the Sig X-Five (9mm & .40 cal) Banned from production? I know that thier classified as SA, but some of the Triggers on Glocks and XD's are Striker SA (feel).

Decided to go with a STI GrandMaster (Used)....

Thank you, just placed my order with CR speed (Big size :-) )

I've been told to get two (2) size bigger than I need for the CR SPeed rig (belt, etc). Do you Folk;s agree?

WEll, I decide for a used GM that has been "tweaked" broke-in, while I learn. Next year, I'll get a full custom.

It depends on how much powder is used, the OAL, etc. It also depends on the gun it'll be shot out of. Is the gun a shorty or a full-length gun? Does it have poppleholes or not? You might get lucky and the ammo from Atlanta might make major in your gun. However, it might also run too much pressure and you might end up beating up the frame on your gun. It might also work the comp too much or too little. It might also be accurate, it might not. The OAL might be too short, it might be too long. Like someone mentioned above, there really isn't a way to get around not reloading unless you can determine a good load for your gun either through experimentation or the manufacturer's/smith's load recommendation, and you find a local bud or commercial reloader that will load to those specs. ...Well I suspected (and been told by more experieced shooters) that I would not be able to get around the reload, unless I went with an Open "Glock" type gun while I gain experience if I wanted to shoot factory ammo. But, if I want a good, well fitted, reliable Open class STI type gun, that I must reload. So reload is on my radar...(I've thinking of doing it for some years now)...dillon 650 here I come...thanks for the Advice.

This is what I recieved From Atlanta Ammo: We load Starline brass, Zero 125GR JHP bullets, IMR 7625 powder, and CCI primers. Will this make th PF?

Hi, I am looking to purchase my first IPSC Open gun, but I do not want to reload my own ammo. I would like to shoot Factory ammo, even factory reloads. I am looking at the STI Grand Master (trubor), Brazos Custom BCG Pro, and Dawson. I am looking for reliability. thanks in advance.

Does anyone have a IPSC Tgt in PDF for printing? Maybe even just the A zone?

Hi to All, I am a new member here and I am also new to competitive shooting. I'm quilified as Novice in IDPA and shoot CDP with an Wilson Combat CQB and I am unclassified in USPSA and shoot Production with a Glock G34. Haven been a 1911 "guy" for most of my life, I am considering jumping into Limited. So my questions is what are the differences between an STI Edge and the STI Excutive. I have a B-day (another freaking one) coming up..and my Kids and wife just asked me what did I want. I have the bug, and plan to stay with this sport for many, many years....So EDGE or Excec? Thanks in advance to all.
