    If you are planning to use the Hogues on a 97 you will have to heat them up a bit.

    Oh I don't have a 97 yet and I am not looking on Gunbroker at them either.... I am trying hard at least. BUT, I would be open to suggestions on good deals. ;) I was interested in the grips for my SP01 Shadow. It comes with the Hogue rubber grips, I think they are Hogue, which feel comfy, but squishy and I wasn't sure how stable my grip would be on them. It seems like most everyone ditches them for the thin aluminum grips, but maybe that's just a fashion thing.

    I "needed" that 9mm conversion for my 650 now that I have a 9mm shadow, which I plan on shooting, a TON. It was bulk primers, bullets, and conversion kit, or a 97 and I think I'll enjoy shooting the SP-01 and learning about 9mm reloading for now.

    When you get the Shadow tuned up you will have to be a little picky about primers. The extended firing pin and light springs make some hard primers unusable.

    llh told me that if I used the lightest setup I would be forced to use Federal. I have a lot of Federal AE factory, but would rather shoot reloads. I have Winchester small pistol. I read them to be middle ranged in hardness, a bit above Federal, which I could not find. I hope they will work, but if not.... I've... only got.... 5000...?!? Only.

    You can use the 11.5# spring until all of the Winchester is gone. I use an 11.5# in all of my guns and I have no problem with Winchester primers. You can switch to the 8.5# later.

    Now I am waiting on a call from Cajun. I want to order the parts for Bob but I only need the block lifter as she already has the extended firing pin and springs. The block lifter only comes in the kit. I don't want to pay for the whole kit. :n00b:

    With the 8.5 mainspring Federal primers are 100%. If you use the Winchester you will have an occasional FTF. You might call Plainfield Shooting Supply to see if Federal are in stock, that's where I bought my last 1000!

    They are out right now. I think you've already got the 11.5# in it though right? I mean, I expect to be through these initial primers by late fall at latest, so I could just warm up to it with the 11.5# and then switch to the 8.5 this winter? I wish I could reload based upon the powder and primers I WANTED and not what I can get!

    Yep, it has the 11.3 mainspring in it.

    Do we know who all is coming Sunday?

    I have a list.
    8 besides myself. Possibly 10 total

    Hmm, we could have a CZ auction.....with a reserve of course. ;)

    We may need to counsel each other.

    Over cheese burgers.......if you are allowed.

    What......another CZ.....what is going on inn here anyway.......:):
