[Tikkaboy]

Excuse me if it has been posted before, but what would you recommend for .40cal. production without spending over $2000.00.Thanks.

My two bits.
How about the CZ SP01 Tactical?
If you're a fan of the SP01 Shadow....which only comes in 9mm.
A very good alternative...nice weight (good for the .40 cal) , smooth DA and crisp break SA trigger...and decocking lever rather than safety.
Mags are cheap and holsters are made from Fobus, Blackhawk, Bladetech....etc.
MSRP $850 US.


Good luck

Andy

do you plan on reloading your .40 to minor?

 

[Tikkaboy]

Not reloading yet

I have a 9mm Shadow and do like it very much. I swear I thought Storm's first answer would be Tanfoglio.

Your 9mm Shadow is a fantastic gun for production. If you like it and it works well for you just stick with that and put your money into more ammo

I bought a Glock 22 (.40) for production. If I did it again, I'd buy the 9mm. Primary reason I went for the .40 was because I didn't have to buy a new set of dies and could just change things over from my standard gun.

Dumb...after I change the powder measure, and adjust the seating die to the new height (I use a Redding competition seating die, so it's easy to switch it back and forth between 2 settings), it's still almost as easy to just switch out to a new toolhead/shellplate.

My next production gun will definitely be a 9mm.

Well if you have a Shadow..........I would agree with the post above and buy more ammo by way of a new loading press that you can buy and be ahead of the game.

if all you had was a .40 and wanted to shoot IPSC in Production.........I would say go for it.

But I see no logic in buying another production gun in .40 when you have a perfectly good 9mm production gun.

What about .40cal in open or standard

What if I want to shoot open or standard?

I bought a cop used Glock22 in .40 for something like $425. 180 grain bullet loaded with 3grains of Titegroup it makes power factor of about 129 in production.

Well that is a whole other issue.

Then you are a tad low on the $$$ as I would go to a Tan LC or STI Edge.

We just sold a Stock II in 40 to a customer - I believe his plan was to use it for both Standard and Production.

For $2K you can get a Stock11 in .40cal and shoot both Standard and Production. If you reload 2.8 of Titegroup under a 180 gr LTC bullet is very soft shooting for Production. The Tanfoglios with polygonial rifling are very accurate guns using lead bullets I might add. I have the Model "L" with the 9MM & .40cal top ends and while not up to a Stock11 it is one sweet pistol.

I haven't chased major loadings and Standard Division yet but intend to.

Take Care

Go with the Glock 22, works good and it's dishwasher safe! (so the standard shooters on the range tell me).

for standard I got my eyes on the BUL-M5 in 40cal (the IPSC model, not the v-jet or two others), but empty pockets
it is in your price range @ marstar, check it out

What's wrong with shooting a regular production gun? Just keep your hits at the As.

 

[JBD]

You have one of the best IPSC production guns available. So why don`t you gear up with that and find another lame excuse to buy another gun.

I prefer its tuesday, time to buy another gun

You're buying another gun?
