Same here....

Thank-You gentleman....Im on my way to place an order...!!!

I am awaiting the arrival of a Glock 34 and would like to try my hand at IDPA/ISPC ...Can someone suggest a holster that will befit the rules of both disciplines until I can gain enough experience to choose its replacement(s) on my own..?? Thanks !!

I was really amazed how the presidents husband, drugged, watched his daugher-in-law stabbed, fell off a loft, killed his assailant, was kidnapped, shot during his rescue, had surgery, was in intensive care, then was recouping at home all within 24 Hours andjust in time to speak up for Olivia (his daughter) Not even the director of the FBI had anything to say !!! I like Jack Bower, put the program *sucs* !!!!!

Great....Thanks

Are the case feeders the same for large and small calibers with the exception of the "plate"....?? I am about to purchase a used 650 that was being used to reload a 45. I will use it for 9mm and 38, other than the conversion plate on the machine ect. ect does one just change the Casefeed Plate from large to small and not have two case feeders one for each size..? (I hope not)

Just as the title says...Its gotta be better than notepaper..!!

Too bad no Mac version

At a local gunshow today a fella had cases upon cases of Winchester Large Pistol for 49.99 a box of thousand, but not the WSP.....Suncoast Gun Show..in Palmetto, Fla...Also had 8lb W231 for 150.00 bucks...Lots of lookers...(Myself included !!)

There isn't, not even in scoring. There is no Major/Minor caliber differentiation in IDPA, as there is in USPSA/IPSC. All hits score identically, no matter what caliber inflicted them. Thus no reason to shoot a .40 or .45 over a 9mm - unless of course you just like firing a .40 or .45. I think I have it narrowed down to the H&K 30L (9mm) or a Beretta 92"G", (also 9mm) if they are still in production, which know one seems to know...(But I sure do like the new H&K45)

The requirement is for my Agency in which I work...Since they pay my mortgage it WILL have a de-cocker !! I'm not that readily inclined to go .40 as the components are not that readily available to reload and are beginning to become scarce at my Department. (cutting back practice rounds)...I will also look back into the CZ in 9mm..After I do some checking on the trigger thread which were graciously provided for me...(I don't believe CZ is on our list of Duty/off duty weapons, I will check today...) Well no CZ's or Glock "C";s or Glock 34 or 35....I think Im inclined to go with the HKP30L ....

Thanks Boats....!!! Its a 9mm then...Sooo many options..But at least the caliber is a done deal..

Thanks for the reply...I cant use my duty weapon as it does not belong to me, nor can it be smithed except by our own armorer (Wont happen unless its broke !!)...I do reload 44-40, 9mm and .223..Im just not set up for 45 as I never owned one, thats why I was thinking about the HK 45, it could be duel use as it has a decocking lever..The HK P30L, I can reload for or the Beretta, as they too have decocking levers which makes em duel use as well..Thats why I was asking if there is any advantage to 45 caliber over the 9mm in IDPA competition...If so, I would get the HK45...IF not Ill check into the CZ, Beretta 92G or the HK P30L

Where have you been reading? 9mm is, in my experience, the most popular cartridge choice in SSP, and pretty darn popular in ESP as well. Actually it's probably the single most popular cartridge in IDPA. And we had an entire division in CDP in which you can only fire .45 ACP. Both these cartridges are VERY popular in IDPA. What I meant was HK's or Beretta's not the calibers (9mm or .45)

Oh, I see... In this case, have you considered purchasing your own Sig pistol? This way you can practice with a faithful analog of the pistol you carry on duty. If you are just looking to purchase another pistol specifically for gun games (and it has to have a DA/SA trigger), may I recommend taking a look at a CZ SP-01. This pistol is a tad bit heavier than other DA/SA guns so you probably won't want to carry off duty but, it is a great gun for both IDPA (ESP Division) and USPSA (Production). In fact I held (fondled) one yesterday at a place called Shoot Straight in Tampa...I liked the way if felt in hand, but the trigger action was anything but smooth..I dont know how to describe it..It felt like a 10 lb trigger pull with something wrong with it...I asked if there was something wrong with it, as there was not another to compare it with...The kid behind the counter did say it didnt feel right to him either..Maybe I can find another one elsewhere to try...

They are not mine..Any trigger job on my issue weapon is a BIG no-no..(liability issues ect. ect.)

The only weapon I am able to carry on/off duty has to has to be DA with a de-cocking lever..I presently have both a Sig 226 and a 229 (issued)...I am in the market to purchase my own, which still has to conform to the above requirement if I wish to carry ccw..I want to try my hand at IDPA or other competition so have been handling both a Beretta 92G and a HK45 and 30L..Being new to the competition world is there any advantage to either the 45 or 9 as they both theoretically should knock down a target..?? From what I have seen neither choices are high on the list of serious competitors (or so I have read), but have to fill my requirement and assuming cost is not an issue..(My wife wont read this !!)

I cant resist.....

Yes, the Federals are also available...Being a newby to reloading I read that the Federals were a bit touchy and harder to load in the Dillon tubes because of thier packaging...(I have no experiance to pull from !!!) Barry

I cant seem to get Winchester primers localy but am able to get CCI # 500 primers. I had read somehwere (Speer Manual I think) that the CCI primers are slighty larger than other brands..I am going to reload 9mm in Winchester brass, will the CCI primers be an issue on my not yet delivered 550b or should I eat the Hazmat fee to order the Winchester primers online..?? Can a Winchester brass loader shed some light for me please..??

Im getting close to ordering a 550, probably tomorrow (Monday)..I know (read) that the 550 comes already setup and adjusted for large primers..Is it possible to have it ordered and adjusted for small primers (9mm) as that would be one less step in the learning curve in the beginning..?? Barry
