Man... you should get a credit for not using the public school system!!! What industry are you in? I'm a software test engineer and I've been looking at Charlotte, Houston and Austin and it's definitely not 300% less, more like 10-30% less in those areas. I'm also sure they work at a different pace as well with the lower cost of living adjustment, it's still not bad.

Man.... Glad to hear you're okay... I'm starting to trust own reload more than commercial reloads now.

I've waited over a year before for some CCI .... but I don't mind.

Best objective review I've found online: http://vuurwapenblog.com/2014/01/12/ar-15-muzzle-device-comparison/ I also have the FSC and BC and they are as High Exposure described.

I know WST isn't the "Choice" for 9mm by many people, but there are data out there and some go at high as 5.5g on the powder, but the newb in me stay away from that extreme for now. WST is the only powder I have so I work with it. I want to meet the minimum PF, so I won't get too used to mouse fart rounds. So, the questions: I cross referenced a few factory round and the velocity for 124gr FMJ are about 1150 fps, and my high end are 1074 fps and 1046 fps. In theory, it is safe to increase the powder charge a little bit more? I've noticed some manufactures ammunition yield better results than others across many handguns, e.g. Buffalo Bore or some reload company that produce for USPSA/IPDA shooters. Is it same to assume that is what I'm witnessing? 4.2g with 1.12 OAL will do well with many handguns? Another observation, longer barrel seem to yield more consistent numbers? I only test 2 guns with the same loads and consistently longer barrel have better values with 4.6" have the lowest ES of 18 with SD of 5, versus 4" having a ES of 22 and SD of 5. Any tips on how adjustments I can make to the load? Thanks in advance for any feedback!

I think this is the live feed on 4/21, Monday. 9am. And the link to the appeal.. http://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docketfiles/13-827.htm

I have a PPQ M2, but would rather have the M1. Someone wanna trade?!

I applaud you SIR!!!

I just applied for P2P about 2 weeks ago with Jersey City and again they sent out reference letters that NEED to be notarized!!! The previous P2P submitted was about 6 months ago, again... and it's the same process.... My buddies are asking me... do they check every year?!?!? I told them, only when I submit application to buy more toy. Blah!!

Looks pretty nice! .... But I hope we never have to cross that bridge.

Welcome!!! we visited your booth at the Oaks Gun Show a couple of weekends ago.

Well.. seems like you don't use the SP101 22Lr and already have the SR11... in that case.. if I was in your shoes, I would sell the SP101 and pickup the M&P9c or the Shield if you're sticking with S&W. I also have the S&W factory 15 rds mags and use the x-grip and it works well. I was in the same boat, and I just bought a P938 because I already have the M&P9c.... so.. if you're going straight for carry... go subcompact... if jack of all trades go compact. If you're really concern about the sight radius here are some values for reference, measured from the end the front sight to the rear sight notch. M&P9c - 5.75" SIG P229 - 5.625" CZ-75 - 6.125" PPQ - 6.1"

Can't an FFL pin the 17 rds to 15 rds for you? I'm sure at least a couple of FFL would do it.... Ask Pk90 or ReMixer..... I know PK90 is in AZ now so he should be able to pin and send the perm. modified 15rds to you. Do you plan to shoot USPSA/IDPA/Steel? Will the M&P9c your only handgun? I have the M&P9c with Apex trigger but I also have other full size, so I guess it really depends on your need? LOL Not sure if I was much help.

Okay... maybe I spoke half truth... LOL ... If I remember correctly, you shoot USPSA right? We will be going to the one on 6/8 at CJRPC, so hopefully we'll see you there.

I know the OP asked about pistol caliber, but I wanted to share my whole picture. I try to KISS but it still tough so I have the following FIVE calibers: .22LR, 9mm, .45ACP, .223/5.56 and 12ga. I find it's pretty tough to keep it just one caliber, as some may say a pistol is a backup to a rifle. So you already have 2 at minimum, tack on a .22LR plinker you have 3 and the most abundant caliber is the 12ga, so that's 4. It all adds up... ARG!!!! The only caliber that I didn't "need" was the .45ACP, but everything else was sort of "required." The least number of guns a person will own will probably be THREE, considering you get a caliber exchange kit for the 9mm and .223/5.56 to shoot .22LR. However, I've considering the 10mm for months now but finally decided against it... just for the sake of KISS.

Great video!! ... those are the things I should have done instead of rushing on my first match.

It was definitely a first fun day for me and the wife. We arrived at 8am to help and learned about how much work it is to put up the stages and Vlad gave us the briefing and I learned about DQ first hand, because I broke the 180 on stage 5 then I learned about scoring and strategies. So it was a great day overall. Most importantly my wife wants to shoot USPSA again!

We will be there 8:30AM as well to help setup... Very nervous and excited at the same time... LOL

Thanks for all the tips!!! We don't experience with shooting on the move... so I guess these matches are where we're going to pick it up. Good tip! .. thanks! I've watched a ton of videos... lol... but it's always that little tid bit of information that makes a world of difference. I see you just got into it as well and already hooked! Don't worry...I ask a plenty of questions... better to be safe than make myself look like an @$$ ... I don't think we can make it, have errands starting early Saturday in NYC... but thanks for the info... maybe next time.

Hey Raz-O .... thanks again for the tip on the reload. Just to clarify... can the 'case' be a range bag? or I should bring the hard case? I assume the gun goes back in the case after each stage/turn?

LOL .. how does one "cheat'? Chairs... checked. Be there by 830AM... checked. Not sure how to use the "safe table" .. but I guess I will find out on Sunday. Great! Thanks!

Thanks... Just register for me and wifey. I was so fixated on the other pages looking for information that I've missed the homepage. LOL Is anyone else going? Would be great to have a mentor. Is 300 rounds per person enough?!?!? LOL That's why I want to know if my own brass could be picked up... trying to save $$$ here. Will bring food and drinks as well... thanks for the heads up...

So, my wife and I and possibility FumanChu182 will be attending our first USPSA match at OB this Sunday, 3/23/2014. I noticed there were posts where we should "sign up" online some where? I couldn't find it on the http://www.obcats.com/portal/viewpage.php?page_id=4 How many mags does one need? Also, are we allowed to pick up our own brass?

Thanks for the tips!!! I've shot a pretty descent group on Sat, with 4.5gr and 1.12 OAL free standing. But made the following adjustments. Chrono at 10' and target at ~32'. That way I can see WTH I'm shooting at. As for HERTERS, I believe they are FMJ and not the blue coated stuff? The Berry's I have are not hollow based, they are these: https://www.berrysmfg.com/product-i14474-c11-g8-b0-p0-9mm_115gr_RN___1000ct.aspx, but they do offer at hollow based one. I've also measure factory ammo in the past and most are about 1.160 and longer, but I didn't pull their bullet out to see how far they are seated. Another question, this weekend I also shot another member's Tanfolio, it's a "racegun" with "gas paddles" and I was able to shoot a group that was about 1" at 32' and really light on recoil. The gentleman said 3.3g of CLAYS is the best. Obviously CLAYS are no where to be found right now. So the question is this, WHY?!?!?!?!!? .. LOL ... I'd be happy with 4gr of BE and making those groups.
