I am hoping to make it to my first GSSF match in St. Paul.
A couple of questions for you guys:
Would it cause any undo hassle or delays if I were to share my pistol with wife? (if I can get her to shoot)
I am also wondering about the 11 rounds rule. Do most competitors load all their magazines to 10, drop one in the chamber and close the slide on it prior to inserting the mag or do you load one mag with 11? Seems like, there is not any point to loading more than 10 rounds for five to Glock, is there?
I have read a thread that mentions 147 grn factory ammo (cheap stuff not defense rounds) have less recoil than 115 and hence are good for GSSF matches. Can someone explain the why that is? I'm not trying to debate those who know, it just seems to me the lighter the bullet the less equal and opposite reaction on the gun assuming the powder charges are somewhat similar. I guess I am holding the assumption that the powder charge on the cheapest 115 grn is probably not stronger than the cheapest 147 grn.
Thanks for your help.
