  1. Lots of dry fire. I never even notice it to be perfectly honest. Once the buzzer goes off, all I focus on is sight picture. The trigger never once even enters my mind.
  2. haha, I can give you actual real data tonight if you need. Please shoot me a PM or email to remind me and I can get you the real numbers including actual outside temps.
  3. Using WST under a 147gr 9mm bullet, my summer tests compared to my winter tests were only between 3-4pf in difference. My notebook is at home, so I can't give you actual data this second. However it was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be based on hearing people complain about it. "that SHOULD be fine"
  4. I put an IPSC target on top of the arms, white side facing the machine, and some rocks on it to prevent the wind from blowing it over. There is plenty of indirect light and the readings are dead on.
  5. I love WST for 147gr 9mm. I currently load BBI 147gr, 3.6 WST, 1.125" OAL and it nails 129-130 PF and is soft and clean. Wonderful round.
  6. Agreed! My wife used to be an assistant store manager and I really miss the free coffee and hot chocolate we used to get. Partner's got a lot of free drinks and weekly coffee by the pound.
  7. And to give you data for that worksheet... I buy Magtech small pistol primers at $22/1000 and my powder at $86/8lb all cash out the door. Those are buying group discount prices so not sure what others can get. So for me, 9mm and 40s&w (I get my bullets for nearly the same price) are loaded at $90.75 / 1000 rounds
  8. Do you have anything with a known constant velocity? I can throw a baseball approximately 95f/s. haha
  9. 0 Down unless you are required to hit the body specifically.
  10. That the exact same thing in watching it haha

    CZ75-B

    I have pistols from both Stuart at CZC and David at CGW and they are excellent. Either route is going to get you a fine pistol.
  12. Since a 2011 is going to take between 6 to 18 months to acquire based on your builder, I would do the basic upgrades on the G35 for Limited, shoot the heck out of it this season, learn the Limited game, then go full out 2011 when your new custom pistol is ready.
  13. Our kids are all out of town for various reasons rightnow and will be back pon Friday, so we are doing our Christmas on Saturday morning... however one gift I have the wife had me pick out for exact details is a new Henning Flat Trigger System for my Tanfo Match setup for Limited / Lim10.
  14. Have a blessed and merry Christmas everyone!
  15. Write the President, Vice President, every member of Congress. Be polite, respectful, and let them know that you are a law abiding registered voter that uses firearms for these sporting uses. Show how they are used for sport, include high level overviews and information on our sports. The most important thing is to be respectful, remind them that you are a registered voter, and show some intellect in your letter. By Pensfan, a former lobbyist and "washington insider" haha
  16. Agreed and I follow the same guidelines. I vote with my wallet and I also write polite letters explaining my position on occasion as well. Does it change anything? I doubt it. The world around us continues to spin without my pennies in the bucket. However I know I made a choice based on my morals and standards and I have the conviction to stand by them and not be a hypocrite. In that sense, it works... for me.
  17. 1) Loosen your right hand grip some (provided you are shooting right handed). It is hard to maintain fluid movement in your trigger finger if your right hand is crushing your grip. 2) Dry fire practice... lots and lots of dry fire practice.
  18. So now 3 years later, how do you like the grips and would you do anything different sperman?
  19. Henning Walgren carries them in his shop. If you haven't dealt with Henning yet, he is a great guy to work with.
  20. As for IDPA without the magwell, you are good for ESP in 45, 40, or 9mm all scored the same. So 9mm would have the least recoil and allow you to shoot faster in theory. I am pretty sure you could use the Match in 45 in IDPA CDP as well since it is a 45. You can also shoot the 40 and 9mm in Limited 10 as well as Limited. EAA's webstore has the slides for between $245 - $285 it looks like. I am not sure if Henning Walgren carries full slides, but Henning is THE guy to contact about Tanfoglios. He has great parts, tremendous service, and FAST shipping. Definitely get in touch with Henning for anything you would need for your Match.
  21. Hey GForce, I am staying with factory length since I am loading for both my Tanfoglio as well as a couple stock Sigs. I don't want to make changes to the OAL's between every session, so just going with 1.125-1.13 OAL.
  22. Thanks for all the feedback everyone! I am sticking with WST for minor and WSF for major for now. Thanks again!
  23. Another great transaction with Henning to report! I placed an order with Henning on Friday, he called me to verify some questions I had within 30 minutes, and shipped it that day. The order is on the truck for delivery today in a couple hours. Top notch service from a great guy.
  24. I picked up a used Match (40s&w) this weekend from another forum member here and I plan to use it for USPSA Limited & Limited 10 divisions. With the Canyon Creek magwell on it, I don't think it will fit in the IDPA Box to play in ESP. If you intend to shoot IDPA with it, you may need to look for a smaller magwell if you intend to install one.
