Garmil Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Is there a trend as far as bullet weight/powder go for guns with comps vs. Comps and holes? Or is it just too varied to say? Really wanting to work up some major loads. My back yard is a shooting range but its dark when I leave for work and dark when I get home at the moment.

Open1215 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Go to ace hardware, they have LED puck lights w velcro backings. I have to shoot under an overhang outdoors. I put one on each cross bar. They work well and are less then the ones they sell as " for chrono" They light up a safe nicely too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadyscott999 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I am working on making a truly "Flat" shooting Open gun setup right now. Its close, but not quite there right now. I think it is possible to produce a near zero dot displacement Open Major setup. But it takes a crap ton of objective observation while shooting, troubleshooting and retesting. Not many people are willing to put in that much effort to find a truly "Balanced" setup. I am finding that more often than not shooters tend to jump on one bandwagon or another and simply roll with however it ends up shooting. That isn't a bad thing as finding a setup that works reliably is good. But working "good" and fine tuning to make it work "Perfectly" are two totally different things. We have had team guns that were so flat the dot merely wiggled side to side a bit. It was very hard to shoot with any speed. Shay opened the comp up a bit to allow some vertical rise and times in on the clock testing improved. Maybe I am chasing a dead end. Either way it will be a fun voyage. Sometimes that is half the fun. Worst gun I ever shot, the comp was so good the muzzle actually dipped. The dot would actually go out of the top of the glass. It was impossible to shoot that gun with any speed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenverDave Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Here is a question for KneelingAtlas, so based on your research, which is the better choice for Open class, Tanfoglio Gold Team in 9 mm or 38 Super?I have the 40 S&W, Love it, thinking of adding one to the collection.

kneelingatlas Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 In general I prefer 9 to 38 just because I hate keeping track of my brass, but in a V12 shooting major I say go with the 38. You have to push the 9 pretty hard to make major with all those holes and it's very hard on the lugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 With that being said, unless you get a great deal on a GT, you come out way ahead customizing a Limited. I'm really enjoying my latest one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kneelingatlas Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 The CMore Side Ride is the only way to go if you want my opinion, they're ~$220 new. Big glass, durable, and mounted horizontally the glass is right on top of the slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
