    Safariland ELS Holster and Hanger Advice

    I had the same problem when I first got my ELS belt. I wound up buying the BOSS Hanger and Bladetech holster from Ben Stoeger Pro Shop. The hanger is solid, but unfortunately doesn't make use of the holes in the belt.

    How many different clubs do you shoot at?

    The club I'm a member at hosts a few different disciplines. I mostly only compete in the 3 gun matches there though. Most of the other stuff is the 50 year old, out of shape, living a dream tacticool guys dressed like Rambo. My club occasionally has shotgun matches that aren't really...

    .45 230 grn Blue Bullets or BBI

    I picked up the Blue bullets bulk pack over the winter and got them all loaded up. They honestly shoot just as good as plated Xtreme's. Had I not loaded them all, I would've sent some to you to try. They do offer 250 bullet sample packs and if you use the code "STOEGER" at checkout, I...

    Duplicating commercial loads

    That's one I've never heard of. I would highly recommend calling Dillon and asking them about it.

    Sold/Expired Possible to delete Porn Pushers from community?

    I've seen a number of the posts from the spammers and given how bad they butcher English, I'm not sure why anyone would click on those links. Their posts usually look something like this: You thanks for site! I make nice for site, visit please link here --------> If you actually click on...

    Duplicating commercial loads

    I've only had that problem with 9mm. Whether it was new brass or stainless wet tumbled, it would bind up the press where I had to exert way too much force to raise the handle. Immediately after switching to walnut tumbled brass, the problem stopped. I'm glad it happened because it was taking a...

    Duplicating commercial loads

    It would be fine when I was pulling the handle down, but as I was raising the handle, it would bind like crazy. After a little searching I found that it was that the brass I was using was too clean. I don't recall where on their site I saw it, but they were offering to mod that part for you if...

    Duplicating commercial loads

    Tumble those Starline cases, or make sure to lube them before running them through the Dillon. New cases, or cases cleaned with a stainless wet tumbler tend to stick on the expander/powder drop station. Starline actually has this mentioned on their website. New cases or ones that have been...

    Duplicating commercial loads

    My guess is that Federal won't give out their recipe. I imagine they spend some good cash on R&D so they're not going to let that cat out of the box. It's like Coke giving away their recipe. Best bet is to get a chrono and chrono those loads you want to duplicate and get some data. Then...

    Dry Fire with laser rounds

    +1 That's exactly what I found when using a laser pistol to practice. For fun, getting a laserlyte pistol and some of their knockover cans and screwing around with it while drinking beer with friends is fine, but using it as a replacement for dry fire practice ruins your focus.

    What's your least favorite 3 Gun firearm?

    When I first got into 3 gun last year in April, I would've rated my skills with each of the 3 guns as follows: rifle, pistol, shotgun. It wound up being rifle, shotgun, pistol. Pistol was so far in third place it was embarrassing. So I started shooting USPSA and practicing. Today I would...

    Great class

    LMFAO!!!! I love the whole "make sure you rock your shoulders as you draw with your finger on the trigger" move. That's epic Delta Seal Ranger Operator **** right there :triniti: ETA: don't forget the "I'm constipated and trying to squeeze a turd out mah butt" look.

    Which 44 Mag?

    I bought a 7.5" Super RedHawk about 3 years ago. The first thing I did to it was add on a Hogue wood grip. For whatever reason, the rubber grips that come from the factory on GP100's and Super RedHawk's transfer all of the recoil right into your hand. The wood grips surprisingly absorb some...

    Any good places for 3 gun matches in Illinois

    ASC is Aurora Sportsman's Club. They're out in Waterman, IL. which is near Shabbona Lake. If you're looking for a great club to practice at, it's literally the only place within driving distance that will let you shoot on the move, draw from the holster, and shoot out to 600 yards. It's a...

    Any good places for 3 gun matches in Illinois

    +1 ASC and Indiana MG are two that you can actually get into. Polo puts on great matches, but good luck getting in. When registration opens, there's usually less than 10-15 spots available and they literally sell out in seconds. The only other club is Oak Park Sportsman's Club. I believe...

    Question about basepads - single stack issue

    Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. I'm more than likely going to need to change the height of my front sight soon, but I have to wait until I can get back out to the range to test it accurately and measure the exact distance I'm shooting. When I do order a new sight, I'll...

    Question about basepads - single stack issue

    Yep, the 47 DE's come with extended base pads. I'm just wondering if the Dawson's replacement base pads allow for a slight reduction in spring pressure. I don't want to buy a bunch of them and then wind up in the same predicament.

    Question about basepads - single stack issue

    I'm pretty much all geared up to shoot single stack but one of the issues I've been running into is mags not fully seating when I do a reload, even though I'm smacking the hell out of it. I'm using Wilson 47de mags, and have about 15 of them so switching to a different mag isn't really an...

    Nicely equipped most ready 3 gun ready AR Platform? affordable

    I think it comes with a Timney and if it's the same one I have on my bench rest AR, I prefer the Hiperfire 24 3G. I really like what Hiperfire did with their triggers and have used them before getting into 3 gun. Just a personal preference is all.

    Nicely equipped most ready 3 gun ready AR Platform? affordable

    If I had to buy one off the shelf, it would be the Armalite. It's almost all the way there. Toss in a Hiperfire and you're GTG.
