The 30 is slimmer, hence easier to conceal. Being in Jersey, and unable to carry, I would also prefer the larger frame/slide/mag release.

@FXDX Great little piece. Have fun with it.

Good deal. If you are able, once you have some equipment, I'd take a look at Stark Archery in Hackensack. They mostly deal with Olympic style recurve/longbow shooting, but Jay can get you hooked up. I've used him in the past and was well pleased. I'm not Targeteers biggest fan...

Are there any shops by you that have a range? It may not be free but it could be your best bet. Grab a lesson while you're at it. Maybe two. Learn a bit. Then take your test. Your instructor should be able to help you out with it as well as teach you the basics of archery. There are a lot of "mechanics" involved with being able to shoot well. Remember, you're not missing a target, you're taking life. As a hunter, I'd like to see that you take humane shots. If you're not going to hunt, scratch some of what I said. But I would still recommend taking a couple of lessons. They will dramatically speed your learning.

I have a CZ P-01 and love it. Hammer fired De-cocker SA/DA Great ergos, for me

Thank you.

I did it myself.

For those of us in NJ, this cartridge is the answer to a question that we can't ask. We can't hunt with rifles and we can't shoot past 600 yards. For the guys out west of us, this is an awesome cartridge that will smack medium sized game down at 500 yards. It will also serve well for the ELR guys out there shooting steel at ridiculous distances (That said, the 6.5Creed/6.5x47Lapua/.260Rem will do a mile) . The biggest factors that will limit folks getting into it will be brass and expense. Brass will be a sticking point as the Hornady brass does not have the greatest reputation. I've honestly never heard of ADG Brass so I can't comment there. I'm like @Shane45 where I'm not sure where this cartridge lies, but that's true with a lot of cartridges IMHO. The overlap and redundancy in cartridge availability is kinda mind boggling, but the variety is where the beauty is. So, yeah, it's cool and all, but I don't think I'll be on this bandwagon any time soon. It also looks like it takes a magnum bolt face which could be a large negative factor in the cartridge catching on. You can't just build it on what is considered a "standard" short action in which the bolt face is .473. Short action/magnum bolt face actions are not always easy to come by... From the Hornady website: "Dubbed the big brother to the 6.5 Creedmoor, the 6.5 PRC fits in short or medium actions with a standard magnum bolt face (.532”). It’s efficient case geometry features a long cartridge case neck and 30 degree cartridge case shoulder."

Done.

The 9c grips will not fit the standard frame. They are coming out with a shorty grip for the standard frame in a couple of months.

I figured this wouldn't be far behind. This is the "19" sized OZ9. I'm thinking this will be the hot seller. Would make a great gun for all defensive uses I can think of and even better for a Carry Optics/Game Gun. I'm just waiting for them to release the grips. http://www.zevtechnologies.com/OZ9c-Pistol-Compact-Black-Slide-Black-Barrel

Thanks!

I picked up a new (to me) lathe and I did them on that with a boring bar. I prefer using an exciting bar, but it's all I had

Thanks. I may cut mine with a deeper crown. Time will tell.

It's like clickbait...

Made some time this week to get some personal projects off my plate. I love the look of a flush cut/target crown on any pistol and really think it makes Glocks look better. So, I did it. And then I did another one. Polished slide went out for coating. The black Gen4 is from a buddy’s gun. No receivers were harmed (or present) during the machining of this presentation.

The frame is a standard, ie: 17, size. So I'm looking to put a 17 size slide on it.

I will be shooting it at Tenafly, so local club level matches. I'm wanting to put it into the Carry Optics box. No magwell, no comp. I'll run a Vortex Venom on top or possibly an SRO although I don't know if I can justify the price.

Kind of an apples to oranges as it's a heavier bullet. Also, comparing velocity is apples to oranges as some powders produce more pressure than others. I've not loaded CFE223 for precision so I can't help you there. I have safely gone beyond book loads in the past with Varget and 80's(single shot bolt gun). Just monitor for pressure. Go slowly. I would tell you to go up in .2 increments if you decide to go there. Load single shot. If you get your bolt lock, check the primers and if you're not piercing or have heavy flattening you should be ok. Load another 10 up and check. Remember go slowly and proceed with caution if you decide to go that route.

My MBK is in OGAM jail at my FFL. I've seen it and it is sweet. Please chime in: I'm looking for a slide for the pistol. I'm open to suggestions. I've looked at the ZEV stuff and it's a bit fancy for me although that may be the direction I decide to go, ultimately. But, I'm looking for suggestions. Who's got some?

Decock if it’s a single/double. I like keeping my pistol hammer down.

I just received a holster from KeyholeHolsters.com. Awesome fit/finish. Comfortable (just around the house for now) and I had it a week after I ordered it. Sorry I can't help with your original question. I just figured I'd throw what I do have in the mix.

Last year I took the season off as work and life were too busy. This year, it's gonna be different. I have not had time to practice as I should. So, I sold my compound and purchased a crossbow. I grabbed an Excalibur Micro335 off the used market. It should be here 7/29/19 according to tracking, but we'll see how that goes. I'll be using the Magnus Buzzcut broadheads and Lumenocks on the rig. I have access to some solid public land with a Dunkin Donuts within walking distance. I've taken a few deer there and am really hoping to increase the count this upcoming season. I may look to add some bolts to the rig. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions on bolts to grab? I'm considering the Beman Whiteout bolts as they, along with a lighted nock, should be really easy to spot the flight and find after the shot. But I'm not sold on anything particular at the moment. I'm gathering info right now. It's nice to be back and I'm looking forward to a solid season.

They suck to disassemble and from a source that I can't remember right now, they aren't meant to be disassembled. I use a large punch held in a vise to push a locking tab in one side at a time. It's miserable. I'd say, just go shoot them. That's what I do now.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning...
