An interesting topic came up based on Ben stoeger's latest podcast. It's about metal vs plastic guns and the pros/cons. This got a discussion going that a metal striker fired gun would be the best of both worlds. I've been thinking this for years. Would love to have one even though I know it will never happen. Yea there's the kahr but it has that stupid ass trigger.

If we had more limelight, hence more shooters, manufacturers would be more apt to play the "Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday" game. ETA I see this topic on come up a lot on Doodie. |

I ordered TTI fiber optic sights and a non-extended factory slide release for my G34.4
Not really going to get much live fire practice with my new G34.4 before area 5 next week. I do hope to get to the pistol range at least one more time beforehand. So far I like it though. I have maybe 250 rounds through it. |

So I ordered a scale from Cabelas, dial calipers from Bass Pro, bought a Lyman book at my local Scheels, made a deal for a pile of 115g 9mm, and ordered a Lee turret press from Kempfs Gun Shop.
Need a tumbler, powder, and primers to get started. Scheels has primers for $35 per thousand.  And a variety of powders for $23 per pound and up.
I know I can get powder and primers cheaper online but the Hazmat fee sucks. Biggest issue is powder. W.T.F. Why are there so many? The common ones are sold out everywhere and who knows which of the obscure ones work right. Little confused about what to do. |

$35 for primers is high, but I have to admit I've paid more. I paid $39.99 once when I really needed some.

Is anyone familiar with the "Baseball Standards" classifier? I'll be doing that one on Saturday. It looks tough.
The weak hand string, which is 6 shots at 15 yards with a 4.5 second par time looks especially challenging. Also, the 3 reload 3 at 25 yards with a 4.5 second par time will be tough. I doubt I can even get a shot off after the reload. How do you approach these type of classifiers? Do you try to get all the shots off, because the misses are no penalty? Or what? |

It's better to make 3 sure alpha hits and ignore the reload instead of squirting a bunch of charlies and deltas and mikes. Ask me how I know. |

Also the "where is all the powder" thread on Enos forum. There are dozens of other powders that will also work for 9mm. When you see a pistol powder in stock, do a Google search: [insert powder name] minor power factor 9mm Chances are high you'll find load data. |

When your shooting WHO are you tensing up your whole hand when you pull the trigger? I'm a left handed shooter and I used to have the same problem until I really worked on weak hand trigger control. What I would do on baseball standards is take my time on strings 1,2,4. You should have plenty of time to get real good hits as long as you get a good draw/transition over to your weak hand. On string 3 I would really try and pick up the pace and make all six shots and sacrifice a little accuracy. Just my .02

The common ones are sold out everywhere and who knows which of the obscure ones work right. Little confused about what to do. Try some 147gr bullets with a nice fast powder (Like Red Dot, Bullseye, Titegroup, WST, something in that range. USUALLY If you can't find a powder that you want, you can look on the burn rate chart and find something close to it. Powders suitable for USPSA loads will range from #8 through about #45 depending on caliber and bullet weight. Heavier bullets will use faster burning powders and will typically have less blast and recoil, as a rule of thumb. DO NOT make up charge weights based on that, only use it to help as a selection guide (If you go to find Titegroup, but they only have American Select or Solo 1000, you'll know they'll be somewhat close, but you have to do some research on whichever powder you chose) I'd go to where your powder is available locally and just start researching them on your phone right there in the store. If they have Unique and not much else, it's dirty, it stinks, but you can use it for damn near everything. |

I got the TTI fiber optic sights installed on my G34. They look nice.
I used the brownells front sight tool and blue locktite. The day after I installed them I put 100 rounds through it to check poa/poi. When I got home I noticed the front sight was loose. So I backed out the screw and re-locktited it. It's going to suck if I lose the front sight during the match. Kind of worried. |

Kind of worried. my TTI sight wobbled loose too, seemed after every couple hundred it would be slightly loose. then I ordered this more blue loctite and I cranked it down (reasonable amount of force) never been lose since |

I should (hopefully) be back to shooting Open this weekend.
And the slide on CZ Compact #2 will be getting sent off in the next day or two to get set up for Carry Optics...

I put more locktite on and tightened as much as I could with the tool. I hope that is all I needed. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I'm getting there. I know that's clown shoes in round count compared to some, but that's more than double for me from previous years.  |

1000 a month isn't shabby at all.

I finally managed to set aside enough time (I just moved) to start Stoeger's dry-fire training and made a monthly calendar for it.
These part times are ROUGH!!! I've already seen some tenth's shaved off my draw and reloads in 3 days of work though. |
