It took me a session and a half before I got used to the trigger and started to put them where I wanted them. It had quite the odd trigger. I think you might find the storm and ruger both have more conventional triggers. I'm also a big fan of anything CZ puts out. Very good triggers.

I've heard the CT is comparable to the large backstrap. I really liked the feel of the sr9c. I think perhaps it had a better trigger than the mp9c, but the 9c fit my hand better (I use the small strap. I have short fingers). A friend recently got a PX4 compact and it is quite nice. What were...

What backstrap did you use on your 9c? Just trying to gauge hand size. I recently went on this quest so Im hoping I can make some good recommendations...but I ended up with the 9c and love it :shrug:

I had to google that, Bohemus. I think that might be cheating :neener:

Tippmanns are a giant pain in the ass with that clamshell design and all those tiny parts. I used to work at a field fixing paintball guns. Spyders and Spyder clones could be broken down to its base components, fixed, and reassembled in minutes. Very simple guns. Same goes for the higher end...

I get what you are saying, Slow. However, even if i completely ignore that abilities that reloading gives me (saving on other rounds like 45 acp, loading lighter loads for new shooters I teach, getting more accuracy than WWB, etc) 13 dollars a box savings is still nothing to sneeze at.

I didnt factor in brass. I get about 1k 9mm from the public range every time i go.

Yea, I figure that the price of a lee turret press and the bare essentials will be paid off by half price ammo fairly quickly.

What is the deluxe made of?

well, i keep seeing strong recommendations for the Lee Turret press. I figured I'll be shooting roughly 200-300 rounds per week. I've been wondering if something like the whack-a-mole would be a cheap, easy option and still keep up.

Oh, I've got a 45 that I don't shoot near as much as I'd like. I will certainly be reloading 45 once I get this project off the ground.

In looking around at some of yalls suggestions, I think I could reasonably expect to roll a box of 100 9mm for 10.50 or so. I think thats a significant savings right off the bat, and add in the ability to load for more expenisve calibers eventually and it looks pretty good again.

Thanks guys. I would eventually also be loading 45 acp, 38/357, perhaps 380. I can definitely see the long term benefits for reloading even mainstream calibers. Reloading really shines for the odd/heavy calibers it seems. I'll have to be on the lookout for an old Triple Lock to get Dad.

Thanks morden! That's exactly the types of numbers we were hoping to see. Thanks for the link, 357

I had just about gotten my dad convinced that reloading was the way to go. We sat down and ran some quick, rough math. It was looking like it would cost us about 16 bucks per 100 box to reload. WWB is 21 for 100 at Wal-Mart. He didn't think 6 bucks a box was worth the hassle. I think that at...

Impressive, Ken. Thanks for the effort.

Hey guys, I was just wondering what people were doing with these JHP bullets. I thought conventional wisdom went against carrying reloads, and perhaps there was an advantage in competition. I got some good answers. Apparently they can be more accurate. Some people do carry reloads. Also it's...

Good point, waywatcher. I would be loading as close to factory silvertips as possible, strictly because it would be cheaper.

looks great

Thanks guys. Lots of good replies. A good shoot should be a good shoot. The tornado analogy is a good one, I think. I am curious if anyone has any more info on the "low flash powder" used in factory SD ammo. Any truth to that?
