    CZ-85 Combat or XDm 5.25" for USPSA Production? and why?

    To be clear: the CZ SP-01 Shadow is at the top of the heap in Production division, not the CZ 85. There are large differences in the triggers between the CZ SP-01 Shadow and the CZ 85 that you should be aware. A new CZ SP-01 Shadow runs ~$1200, with all the go fasts. A XDm 5.25 with all the...

    Shot a pistol match yesterday, Open division with S&W M&P CORE

    Welcome to the addiction. Seriously, hope you enjoy shooting matches with your son as much as I do with my kids. Got beat by my 13 year old for the first time Saturday. Happiest loss I ever had.

    Anyone use Target Tape Guns?

    I have one and I use it a lot. We won it at a match so I can't tell you how much it costs. It is most useful for motivating the 13 year old to help paste targets. Seriously, when you have a multiple string stage and there may be as many as 8 holes in the target, the pasting goes very fast...

    I've shot lots of 200 grainers in my 1911 and my tanfoligo. No problems to report. Felt the same as my 180 grainers

    What do I need to start USPSA?

    I highly recommend that you do not buy a very expensive holster for your first match. I recommend you buy something cheap or borrow a generic holster and mag pouches to shoot your first few matches. That way you try out the sport before you make a large cost commitment. Lots of people change...

    Glocks and Lead

    I own a G34 that is shot for competition. I would guess that we have 15,000-20,000 lead bullets through the factory barrel. I have not experienced any dangerous leading in that barrel. However, in his book The Glock in Competition, Robin Taylor mentions that he has seen some factory...

    Is this the best reloading forum?

    The Brian enos forum has some very good information on USPSA and 3 gun competition calibers. But for a general reloading site, this is pretty good.

    What would you pay for lead ignots?

    I have a friend who has a pallet of lead that he has salvaged out of the keel of a wrecked sailboat. I'm trying to see if I can help him sell it. What would you pay per pound?

    Ria .45 acp

    I have about 30k rounds through my RIA tactical that I bought in Jan 2008. I replaced the barrel this past summer as the accuracy was beginning to affect my match scores. I concur with the poster above that said the chambers were generous. My RIA has been awesome and would buy another...

    16 ga. for trap

    I have an 870 Wingmaster in 16 Ga (modified choke) that I use for trap. I have found the best place to by #8 loads are from Natchezss.com, the Rio brand. #9 loads are non existent. I have run the reloading cost calculator and found the savings to be minimal. I found the savings to be about...

    USPSA Production - beginner

    If price is not an issue, many consider the gold standard to be the CZ SP-01 Shadow Custom. http://czcustom.com/shadowtarget.aspx You need to get used to the DA pull for the first shot. My son shoots a SP-01 Shadow in production and loves it.

    How is a B.C. over 1.0 possible?

    Helotaxi I had it right. It is basically a ratio, with the model in the denominator. typically the model is more efficient, resulting in a numer less than 1, but not always

    Not again.......! Feral Hog Control in East Texas

    Does the behavoir of the hog change in the rain or a thunderstorm? I am trying to go hog hunting Saturday and it is scheduled to rain. If the animal's behavoir doesn't change, then maybe the rain will help hide our scent and noise?

    Not again.......! Feral Hog Control in East Texas

    The local Wildlife Management Area is full of hogs, but will only let you use a .22LR or bow (arrowhead must be "without points") unless it is deer season. The wardens say that a 22LR shot to the ear will kill a hog, I guess that is a brain shot..? You can't use a tree stand either, nor a...
