I am looking for full sized 9mm slide and barrel (conversion, really) for my full sized Witness. And actually, I would like get an extended barrel. Are these kind of items going to become available at any time in the future?
Thanks
I sent one to Henning several months ago. He has never payed me for it so I guess he still has it.

With the rising cost of bullets which brand and type are you shooting at the cup?
Thanks

WTF why no open guns?
-
The slide racker come on the right side for the factory and if you noticed there is a little hole drilled into the slide for the set screw to lock into. Switching to the left side does leave it a little close to the hand, I have gotten into the habit of just not using the racker, on my gold team or my SVI.
If its not locking back to slide lock on a empty magazine I have to assume someone modified the lock, I am surprised it just doesn't have the pin it only that Henning sells I prefer that anyways and never go to slide lock.
It sounds like you are getting light strikes because you do not have enough crimp and not hitting battery fully, you might want to check that, it might have tight tolerances. You can also check if you have Hennings long pin or the EGW. I have used both without a problem at the moment I use Hennings with Federal Small Rifle.
Trust me when you knock it up to around 7.4 of 7625 you will love it, its a nice flat shooter with more then enough comp action. I have tried some N350 and 3N37 and I prefer the 7625. Remember you cant compare this guns to a lot of other open guns with bigger barrel ports because I have found it to be a little less brutal for sure inside compared to some of the guys I shoot with who use Tribrids and Have comps with side porting on them. Henning Likes to open his comp up a little more and maybe we can talk him into showing some pictures and measurements if we can get him out of the machine shop.
I would also dump the rainier and get some Montana's or some Zero's, never had much luck with the rainier at these velocity's.
If you aren't picking rounds off off the magazine sounds like its not seated right, because a 16lb recoil spring in that gun is a beast, I run a 10lb with no problem. It could be a follower problem? does it have the grams kit in it?
Leo
The comp has been opened to Hennings specs. The gun ran fine with everything I fed it. He wanted the heavy spring in the gun. The mags were put together by Henning with all gram parts. The gun shoots 1.5 at 50 yards with MG 121 and zero 125jhp and 7.2 7625. The gun had ambis on it installed by Henning. He wanted the big single side on. The slide racker that came with gun was taken off. I had to buy another one from Henning before I shipped the gun. Henning had this gun for a couple of months. Everything in or on this gun Henning installed. There is nothing wrong with the gun. I would check my loads.

Boys and their toys and if you have to ask how much it cost, then your mind is not in the right place anyway.
Christmas present to me 2000 Zero 230gr HP, 3000 Zero 9MM 125gr RN, 2000 230gr Precision Dalta. Buy what the gun likes to eat.
Wow is that right? My mind happens to be in the process of making a informed decision on reloading costs in todays market.
If I can find a way to shoot more the same or less money why not? Always question, always try new things. Seek and ye shall find, Free your mind and your ass will follow. ect,ect.ect

9mm bulk FMJ $95/K
45 bulk LSWC $88/K
This assumes loading each case 5 times.
Mines about the same. Around 100.00 for pratice ammo . 140- 150 for match ammo loaded with MG 121 or zero 125.
Thanks

As the title states how much are you spending on reloading 1000 rounds ?
Thanks

GET A grip guys! Its Good for BOTH! Steel Challenge brings in USPSA members and USPSA brings shooters to steel. I am starting my 16th year of running a club with my wifes help. If it was not for the IPSC club guys coming to help starting last year, I may have called it quits. As a result we have more shooters going to the IPSC matches in and guys that know how to help at the steel match.
lots of ways that steel helps get shooters going in the sport.
Its very easy to teach skills in a steel match for new shooters, = that brings new shooters in to the sport safer. We can let a new or young shooter use a rim fire and start from a low ready. Its a good format to bring in ladies.
And a Dad can come and shoot a match with his 11 year old Son and get him fired up to be a life time member of our "Brotherhood"
The Only draw back I see is that I wont be able to make fun of ???
as much guess I will have to pick on ? Skeet shooters?I like steel and USPSA
does that make me BI? or just more likely to find a match on the weekend?Jamie
I for one think its great. I'm tired of Piru. Its 18 hours one way. I think a match located in the middle of the US would draw several new and old shooter alike. The real facts are its a done deal so lets make the best of it.

Wow John,
I just don't know what to say. I hope the boys are ok.
Stay strong

The Show Me Cup was held in Bates City this past weekend. The consensus of the competitors there was to keep the 4 as they are now and add a 5th. The surprise thing didn't go over very well.
It seems to me that there is already a substantial amount of advertisement of the Cup. Shooting USA carries a segment on it every year. The coverage on American Rifleman was done over 2 episodes and quite good. American Hangunner covers it although I might add that it has suffered since TGO's father retired. The word is out there. I found it.
I believe that trying to encourage shooters from other shooting sports is not working. We gave them ther own class (Open Modified) and there has been some interest but not much. I know, the trigger rule. That's another subject. I just ran 2 of the bigger registered matches and I had 2. One had to cancel. We always need to continue to encourage new shooters but what about the shooters that we lost? I spoke to our host several years ago and he relayed to me that one of the reasons that he quit was because he was tired of the same old routine. Most of us that have been going to the Cup for a while can come up with atleast 5 names of people that we haven't seen in 5 years. It is my contention that these people left because they lost interest. Unfortunately some of these shooters were match directors and when they left then so did their monthly programs.
It all boils down to the fact that the Bianchi Cup must grow or it will die. Something has to be done and some changes are in order. As an example, The Steel Challenge. The match is almost as old as Bianchi. It did suffer a down turn when Mike and Mike gave it up but they have since brought it back and it is growing. The Steel Challenge Nationals is proof. What gets me is that the match is held on the left coast and most of the competitors have to go through the PITA of flying with their guns and it still grows. I made the trip in 2006 and was in awe of the prize table. I've never seen anything like it. The advertisement of the match is basically the same as Bianchi. They get coverage on TV and Handgunner. What they have done differently is they have change some of the courses of fire in the past few years.

I can some up the problem with one word. Money. The reason the Steel Challenge went crazy was prize money. $30,000.00 to break 80 seconds. The prize table is 2nd to none. The match is really pretty easy to set up and cheap for a club to invest in. Plus people like to shoot steel. Even if they don't have blinding speed.
I ran a action pistol match at our club for 4 years. Then the new rules, NRA fee's went up and now the prices of fuel,bullets,primers ect,ect,ect. are just out of control. Pistol shooting is becoming a rich mans sport. Don't get me wrong I love it. But I'm afraid that its going to get alot worse.

FWIW, unless I needed immediately specialized skilled workers, I'd hire anybody with an IPSC national championship and nothing else on their resume-- they've successfully demonstrated they know how to learn, and motivate themselves and that's what it takes.
Sort of like a college degree.
I know the AMU IPSC boys turn down paying gigs to teach soldiers shipping out, so I'm thinking ten thousand solders that are pretty good shooters beats one really good GM in a war zone..
Thats not the point . I think that everyone should do a little combat time. Yes including you Roy.
I also know some IPSC National Champions that I wouldn't let in my house much less hire. Dude get a grip. Its just pistol shooting.

As long as the athletes are actual Servicemembers either enlisted commisioned or warrant. Kinda burns me up to see the "Army" bull rider, race car driver, etc etc and ya got an all civilian team who's only affiliation with the Army is cashing the checks.
The Army just got the jump on the other branches of the service...I don't remember anyone crying foul when Lones Wigger was winning all those Olympic and World championship medals.. Same deal here..
As for the guys shooting for the AMU, they better think about making the service a career...caue they won't have any marketable skills when they get finished with their tour..unless they then go back to school..
I shot on the All Navy Pistol team in the late 80's and early 90's. We only saw each other at the Fleet matches, Interservice and Camp Perry. We received no funding and were lucky if we didn't have to take leave to participate. We were given some Eley 10X rimfire ammo and some TZZ ball and wadcutter ammo.
If we won any big matches we were issued a Navy Trophy Award rifle. No prize money . Something about being on the tax payer's dime.
The USMC guys stay on the team for a few years maybe 2 or 3 but then they had to go to the fleet . We even payed our own entry fee's at times.. Most shooter's stayed until they received their Distinguished badge .
But then somebody would so their a## and we would have to deploy again.
After 20 plus years of service 9 years 11 months and 22 days deployed . It was a adventure. I don't think anybody but the Army is looking for USPSA shooters. There is a real war going on . I have no problem with the kids shooting for the Army. What I do have a problem with is each and everyone of them not doing at least one year in a combat zone.
Why should those kids be treated any different than my kid thats on his third tour?
A pouge is a pouge. In the rear with the gear. I don't care if its shooting or golf or volleyball. Everyone should get some of the wondering whats going on at home or the big " Will I die today"
I'll end with Freedom is not free and add some pay more than others. Flame on you Pouges!!!

It doesnt matter if the rule has valid reasons or if you agree with it or disagree or your a GM or a scrub, read the rules or forgot them, It was a posted rule of that particular match. Competitors should follow them or be disqualified. Match directors need to enforce posted rules. "giving " someone a break penalizes all the people who paid attention. A competitor who notices clear violations of the rules need to bring it to match officials attention.
It was brought to Paul's attention. He chose to do nothing . I received the mind your own bussiness look, so i did so.

Here's a new open gun I built for myself and just got back from Metaloy. It's a 6" Schuemann TriBrid AET in 38 Super. Extreme hammer, sear, and disconnector; Dawson toolless guide rod system; STI frame, slide, safeties, and magwell; Aftec extractor; and an Allchin scope mount with a cut back blast shield. The C-More I used for about four years and recently had it rebuilt. The slide is from a prize table (thanks STI!). I ground out the front serrations and gave it a Hipower cut as well as flatten the rear and remove the Aristocrat sight cut.
I built this one specifically for Bianchi Open Modified and it shoots great with the Bianchi loads - a real tackdriver. With major loads it hits back pretty hard but stays flat so I can shoot it awfully fast. That's good since I'm about to rebuild my old warhorse open gun and still need something to shoot in USPSA in the meantime. Weight empty is 42oz.
Kevin
Is that the steel gun you showed me at the USSA match ? If so you told me it need a new home. Are you still interested in selling it. If so please let me know.
Thanks

Thanks for letting me vent. I've worked out a plan for the kids. Not my problem or my business.
I'm here to shoot and have fun.
Thanks again

Ok here we go again. I'm at the Handgunner with the wife and kids. I'm talking to the gang, Fedex drops off some shipped ammo. Its for one of the big GM shooters. The problem starts when it turns out to hollow point ammo. This type is not allowed at the match . Its written in big black letters and underlined in the match booklet.
The question is do you bitch about it or stay out of it? Its a problem because the wife was there and heard the whole thing . The kids want to set steel for tips. She wants me to throw a fit because she's not going to let the kids set steel if they let this guy or guys use this ammo.
I really like shooting this match and really don't want to start a s---t storm. But why do these guys think they are above the rules? I've shot with these guys before they are nice guys . But I've been told they used this ammo before and nobody bitched so its ok.
Why can't the big dogs follow the rules like rest of us.
So now I've spent a bunch of money ,the wife is pissed, the kids are pissed, I really don't care what bullet they shoot..But I'm the guy feeling the heat for whole thing and I'm just so sick of it.
The damn match hasn't even started yet.
Why can't we all follow the rules????

I shot a SJC custom in the AASA Nationals this past weekend and it was just crazy fast out of the holster. It shot in the rain,heat and in the shoot offs I shot over 400 rounds in 3 hours. In the rain no less.
I had the gun for 2 weeks it won the Challenge and the shootoffs.
They are the great product. I took 2 tenths off my 1st shot on steel from surrender, The gun is 9 oz's light than my STI.

When they walk off and watch the other squads shoot, they need to be the first on the line to shoot when your squad gets up. That will give the "left behinds" an opportunity to "dope" the stage, too.
Thats a great idea!!!. Have them go 1st everytime they split. They were alway the last to shoot.
Cool now I have a recourse.
Thanks
-
Saul suggests looking stages over early - before the match - and talking with fellow competitors, etc. He didn't say "Be an ass-monkey and abandon your squad like a bunch of pansies...."
Are these the same "Masters" you referred to the other post???
No they're the other two that stayed and helped. Both are very good shooters and play well with others.
-
Ok I've got a new question for you guys. Now I'm not trying to start anything so don't flame
me.
At a resent match most of my squad would take off after they shot . It sucked because 3 of us got stuck scoring and ROing . When I asked the guys what was going on I was told that they were going down to other stages and getting the dope on how to shoot them by watching and talking to the other squads that had already shot the stage.My question is should I be doing it too?I was told that they read it in Saul's book .
I'm very confused. I was told to clean and reload my mags then lend a hand with the taping and ROing.
What do you think?
Thanks
-
Wow great answers guys!! The masters might not be happy but I'll stick to shooting the As as fast as I can.
Thanks
-
Ok, I was listening to two Master class shooters talk about how to shooting field courses and short courses, one thinks on the short courses shoot all points don't worry about time. The other said the exact opposite. Go as fast as possible hits anywere are ok. The both had opposite opinions on field courses. One is for all the points you can get and the other go fast as you can . The things is how opposite they were. What do you guys think?
Thanks
GET A grip guys! Its 
as much guess I will have to pick on ? Skeet shooters?
does that make me BI? or just more likely to find a match on the weekend?

Wow those are great groups. I have a couple of S&J custom glock 17s and both have this 1 round flyer thing going on.
Do you have problems with that?
Thanks
