al503 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I load 4.7gr of WST in my 40 to make major and I load 4.7 gr of WST in my 9 mm to make minor. The recoil of 4.7gr in Minor with the 9 mm slows me down more than the soft shooting 40. Try a different powder/bullet combo. I'm using 5 gr of Titegroup with a 180 gr zero to make ~170. I'm using 4 gr of Titegroup with a 125 gr zero to make 132. Going with a heavier 9 bullet and reducing the powder charge will make it even softer. Saving money, well you could possibly save $3.00 per match with a 9 mm over a 40, I choose just to skip the pie on the meal after the match. I know a guy that could save more than that by quitting the Lottaaee's on the way to the match. I save about $30/K shooting 9. Since I shoot about ~8K rounds/year, it doesn't add up to much ($50/month?). However, it could add up to a lot for those shooting several K a month (lucky bastids). Shoot what you got, and have fun.

slip knot Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 When I decided to shoot limited, I took my open gun apart and had a limited slide put on the open fram. I shoot 38 sup minor, ( could shoot 9mm) with my same old mags and holster. Saved a lot of $ and am having a lot of fun doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupture Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) How many of you shoot 9 for limited. Can you shoot 9 minor in bigger matches? Edited November 19, 2009 by Flexmoney ** threads merged ** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear23 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Its fine for local matches. I wouldn't recommend for major matches. I break out my limited 9mm once in a while for something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
