Hi everyone,
I'm a USPSA member, but it's been quite a few years since I was actively involved in the sport.
I have recently decided to get back to shooting USPSA matches, and am interested in replacing the barrel and compensator in my racegun.
Could anyone point me to some qualified gunsmiths in the area that could help me do this?
My current racegun is built with a Nowlin supported barrel with 3-port comp chambered for .38 SuperComp, a Colt Mark IV lightened slide, an STI hi-cap frame and a C-More dot sight. I still have all my old loading equipment (Dillon Precision 550 4-stage press) but, like my racegun, it's been sitting idle the past few years. I was using Winchester 540 for my USPSA loads at the time (I forget the bullet grain right now, but I'm sure I could look back in my records to find out). I know other competitors were using Vita Vouri Oy at the time as well. I seem to remember USPSA lowering the power factor requirements a few years back, so I'm not sure what most open class competitors are shooting these days. I could sure use some advise on what the latest trends are for open guns these days, to help me get back-up to speed.
Thanks for your help everyone.
