Guest Nehemiah Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 I have a PDA Calibrated 278. From a practical standpoint, should this be closer to a #2 or #3 COC? Just wondering has I have the COC T, #1, #2 and #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 This is, and has been a touchy subject as of late. I can only relay to you MY findings as they match up with my own grippers. A 278 PDA would be a #2, and nowhere near a decent #3. Can you close this gripper? Your gripper is what a #2 should be, since my BBM's were very close or over 300.

Tou Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 I bought a #2 COC from Paul Valpreda. he said that teh #2 is tougher than the 278. But I have a 325 PDA that would almost equal and sometimes be over a regular #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Euclid Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 In my own limited experience I found that my #2 is much harder to close than my PDA 333 ip. Tou, I wish ip's were the definitive factor because I think I'd be closing the #3 now. I can get 4-5 reps on my PDA 333 and not a single rep on my #2. Go figure.

OldGuy Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Many here have been able to go on to close their #3 without buying any "in between grippers" such as PDA,s or Beef Builders. They have done it with just the Ironmind # 1, 2, 3, mainly using strapholds and or negatives. I myself did it (not certified) without doing negatives or strapholds. I am however going to start doing negatives so that I will be able to close it long enough for a clear pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 My PDA 323 was much easier then my #2 COC. I closed the PDA 10 times each hand, no problem. I have a PDA 387 coming-I will keep everyone informed... Rick Walker :hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
