kujo929 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Selling my 3 gun gear and looking to get into open with a gold team in 9mm major Looking at ipsc alex mount and thumbrest Trying to figure out the difference between a Cmore RTS2 and the STS2. Probably going 6moa with whichever I need. Besides that henning or TF basepads with grams springs for 140mm mags till I can figure out a workable 170mm solution. Alpha x holster with magnet and ghost pouches (just since that’s what I use in production) Open to recommendations from experienced open guys. I’m a long time limited and production shooter.

selecw Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Listen to Shannon Smith's podcast for his RTS2 feelings. I have an STS2 on my CO gun. It's durable, but has a smaller screen than the RTS2 and DPP. This will not be an issue if you do enough dry fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalShooter69 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 My suggestion - 38SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanGriffith Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Call JJ Racaza and talk to him. He has his own shop in Vegas. He’s a good dudeSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will not be an issue if you do enough dry fire [emoji4]From everything I have read up so far it looks like both the RTS2 and DPP have had some issues on open guns. Haven’t seen anything on the RTS2 having issues since the v4 update. Guessing the DPP has also fixed issues by now also. Listened to the Shannon Smith podcast. Sounds like his issues were with the early versions like most other people. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kujo929 Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 My suggestion - 38SC38SC is not even a remote possibility at the moment. Production will still be my primary. Open will be local matches only since I don’t plan to setup a backup gun at this point. Not going to scrounge for brass or changeout a press unless open becomes my focus Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCTaylor Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 SoCal's point is 9 major in a Gold Team is gonna be a bad time. With the holes in the barrel and reduced case volume in 9mm, you'll be on the ragged edge of blow-outs just to make major. If you want a Tanfo for Open, look at converting a Limited in 9mm. I've got one that's pretty awesome. They can be put together for a little less than a Gold Team as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) The Gold Team with it’s 8 barrel ports is a total gas hog. You need to load insanely hot. Remember, these are European guns. IPSC Major PF is only 160, so hitting it with a 9mm is rather safe. With USPSAs 170 PF? Things can get a bit sketchy. Probably not a good choice for an intro to loading 9mm Major. Edited November 28, 2017 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm making major easily in a Gold Custom Eric I bought in August. 8.0gr of HS-6 gets me to 172PF with no signs of over pressure. Lighting them off with Small Pistol Magnum primers. Maybe I got lucky and have a fast barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
