Rumors have it you are going 9mm Major??
Yeah, but how much is your diginity worth? Digging thru a trash can for super brass like you George Castanza with an eclair...oh they're fine, they were sitting on the top![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")
dignity? Who said anything about dignity? The price of dignity isn't going up, but brass, powder, bullets and primers are.
I'll just steal those abandoned supers with red primers from now on, i'll be sure to get on the squad right behind you, so when you dont pick yours up, I can scrounge them
And by the way, I love eclairs. Greg's has the best.
In regards to the super v. supercomp, like they said, rimless vs semi-rimmed. But what's very nice about comp, you can stuff one more supercomp in a 170mm mag due to the lack of rim.

Thats OK, The brass I give back to you are ones I stole out of your range bag while you were shooting
It is deeper where the extractor grabs it and it is expensive. TJ and SC are supposed to have a stronger web than Super.

I really don't think anyone is ever going to steal my brass, or my shotgun hulls.
oh, and let me throw Super 9 into the mix. I dont know who is using that, but I find it mixed in with my supers every now and then. Appears to be the same as supercomp, but brass is slightly thicker, like 9x23.
Last word about 38super, you've also got 38super+P, which some people probably think is better because it's got the +p on it. I dont use it, it's just more expensive, and anyone that knows how many times I'll reload my 38 supers can vouch for their not being a problem with the non +p brass when shot out of guns built for this game.
One specific brass I've had problems with, and would never, ever recommend is brass marked "AP" = armscorp.

I'll actually be at the match tomorrow believe it or not... However, I will have to leave around 1:30 so I might not be able to "finish" the match because I have to meet with a realtor.

Back-up house or did she kick you out?![[rofl]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/013.gif "ROFL [rofl]")
You should be able to shoot-through.
She kicked me out because she doesn't like my guns!!! HAHA
No we're thinking of buying another house and selling our house. I want to live closer to the range so I can actually shoot from time to time. With my new job the range isn't on my way home anymore and it makes getting there that much more difficult. The new house would be on the way home and only about 15 minutes from Harvard. See, I'm making an effort to shoot a lot more. One step back for 2 steps forward. haha
9X21
Banned
Dan is correct, been shooting major 9(x21), since 1991.
I have loaded my overall length as short as 9x19 or out to 1.325 (short super).
My cases are rimless, I get the extra round in my mags,
I don't need spacers for my mags.
new brass is about $4 more than super.
Frankly, I don't know why one would use anything else

From what I've heard, the "+P" stamp is a recent affectation. The load is the same as before; the "+P" is a warning to those who would shoot a modern load in some of the older guns, particularly Spanish guns chambered for 9 mm Largo.
I actually spoke to Starline http://www.starlinebrass.com about their brass a while back..
From their web site:
"38 Super+P is a heavy duty super case with standard head design"

Yep!!!
Thank you everyone for all of your input over the past few weekends. The decision has been made......now for the wait. That's ok, though, it will give me time to research all of the other goodies I'll need to go along with it.
Then he changed his mind from his original, stated intention:
In short, he originally planned to buy an entire new Open gun. For reasons already discussed on this forum generally and this thread particularly, that is not possible.
The result would seem to be, as some of us were discussing Sunday at Manville, that Noidlight has decided to buy a frame (STI or Caspian, I'd guess) and send it out to be built into a gun.
I wish him all "A's" and no jams when he gets his new toy.
Ok - this is getting annoying - enough with specualting on what noidlight's "original" stated intention was.
Semantics and assumptions only drive a post off topic and is really unfair to the person who started the post - I really hate when this happens.
So to just to clarify and hopefully put this speculation to rest.
Rob - did you or did you not find Mike's list helpful? or was it worthless?
...and back onto the subject matter - what did you decide to build

You know it also might be interesting in this thread to hear about Hamar's new project as another option in the field of Open guns. He looks to be seeking the components to build an EAA Witness based gun, like the P9s they used to shoot. Seeing as the world champ shoots a similar Tangfolio setup, that's not something to be ignored.
Another option I've seen since the creation of this thread that looks really interesting is the Glock route, specifically from http://www.glockjockey.com/. If you have a 3rd gen Glock 17, that's something to look at. You can see one run in the helmet cam footage here.

Yep....Building my own open gun based on the Tanfoglio/Eaa Witness and it will be 9mm Major. This will not be easy since alot of folks no longer make the parts for them so I will be making them myself. Its been a long time since I've shot with a dot but I'm looking forward to it!
