GrumpyOne Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) I'm just trying to get a good base of what people are using, why they like it (or dislike it), and what kind of set up they have. If you vote, please leave a post descibing what you are using (E.G. G34 9mm, tuned, Vanek Trigger, Storm Lake barrel, etc. - Please include the caliber as well) and your pet load for said platform. This is NOT a thread to discuss which platform is better, or anything about round limitations in Production Division. I see alot of new people getting on the forums, and many questions about setups and so forth, I figured this is a way to try and get as much info in one place as possible. So, let's make this a good one! Thanks! Edit to add: I'll start. I shoot an XDM 40 in production, bone stock, pet load is 3.2 Clays, 180 TC lead, mixed headstamp brass, OAL of 1.135. It's a bit smokey, but gets it done. Edited January 25, 2011 by GrumpyOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McAllyn Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Not sure how to answer the poll, since I have 3 Production rigs, but I'll use the G34, since that's what I'll be shooting this season. Had an XD9 Tac, Super-Cool Gray Spray-Painted Slide, Springer Precision trigger, Dawson FO front, ISMI spring, TruGrip tape, Zero 125g JHP, 4.2g VVN320, OAL 1.145 Built a CZ SP01 Tac, ISMI 13 hammer spring, ISMI 11 recoil spring, go-fast silver thin grips, same load Setup a G34 9mm for this season, Glocktriggers Challenger Trigger, Dawson FO front, Glock adjustable rear, ISMI recoil spring and guide rod, TruGrip tape, same load Anecdotal research has shown that regardless of platform, I suck, because I don't practice enough or correctly. But, most importantly, I have a blast. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sincityshooter Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 XDm 4.5 9mm zero 125gr FMJ (.356) w/ 4.0 of N320, WSP primers Tungsten guide rod, Dawson Precision fiber optic front sight adjustable rear sight Going to get the ultimate match Powder River trigger assy when they get some more made. I also bought some wolf recoil springs (14 lb, 16 lb, and 18lb) to try out when I get to the range this weekend. I'm using a double alpha PDR low ride holster... bought it after searching through these forums. I like it quite a bit. I'm using a CR speed belt and mag pouches that I took from my race rig. Haven't been shooting production long, but I have a lot of experience shooting Open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmanfixit Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Mostly I shoot single stack but it's fun (and a bit cheaper) to shoot 9mm. ( I Suppose I did myself in there as far as the " 1911 Snob Club!!") I've run a Springfield XD with F/O sites, Springer trigger setup but otherwise mostly stock, and it's a WONDERFUL gun!! Right now it's a CZ75. Mostly stock but with F/O sights because I'm old! The more I shoot it, the more I comprehend why Jeff Cooper pronounced it as he did!

Avezorak Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Dang Grumpy, we could be twins. Last season I shot my XDM with a fixed Sevigny rear. My load is 3.1 Clays 180 BBI mixed brass @ 1.135. I run a 14 lb spring on a Dons SS guide rod. I sent the slide, barrel and mag bodies off to be coated with Atranite. Having new Dawson Adj rear and FO front installed. I Duracoated the frame and will put skate tape on it when I put it back together. Im also gonna put PRP's polished striker, Ti safety plunger and a trigger kit of some sort in it. Havent decided which one. Lastly Im putting a Springer guide rod for 1911 springs and will run a Wolff 15 lb. My 231 loads were ok with the 14 but this Clays load seems a little peppier and I think the 15 will be better. DAA belt, Safariland 773's and Bladetech DOH round out my rig. I love it...

beltjones Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) Cool thread. G34. Vanek trigger bar, trigger housing with overtravel stop, and firing pin safety. Competition trigger spring. Stock striker spring. Ghost Patrol connector. It seems like a random, hodgepodge of parts, but I've carefully tested and selected each one, and the result is a very light uptake with a dead-on 3.5lbs CRISP break and very little overtravel. Sevigny Comp FO sights. 3m stair tape. Backstrap channel insert. Standard slide release. Stainless steel guiderod w/ 13# spring. Factory ammo, usually Remington UMC.

Gatekeeper Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I started shooting USPSA last year shooting a 45 Auto Single stack. Bought a CZ SP-01 off a friend to shoot production as a second gun (and save a little $$ on reloading). Resprung, trigger polished and smoothed up a bit, Dawson fiber front, shadow rear sights pretty much stock other than that. Load my own ammo on a Hornady L&L 3.2gr n320 147gr Precision Moly @ 1.100 for 130pf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
