So is the dress white and gold or black and blue? That powder looks just like my jug of N320, graphite (grey). https://abc7ny.com/the-dress-white-and-gold-black-blue-how-did-get-started/536801/ Nolan

DOH! posted before reading the rest of the thread. The ledge on the slide stop that hits the step in the follower may extend too far into the magazine and hits the last round in the magazine because it's presented at a slightly different angle than the rounds stacked on top of it because it is resting directly on the follower. Nolan

Borrow the slide stop from your friends gun and compare it to yours. If it fits in your Priest, see if it locks back with 1 round left in the mag. Nolan

Rowdy, have your friend contact IPSC Japan by emailing jpn@ipsc.org. That's the Japan IPSC contact listed on the https://www.ipsc.org/regions/ website. Nolan

Good reason to pick up one of the used LabRadar's being sold relatively cheap in the classified section as people buy the new hotness or buy the Garmin. My LabRadar has worked well for me and it doesn't care what type of bullets I'm using, or the orientation of the sun, wind, or phase of the moon. Nolan

In that case you would have had to load the magazine in the reverse sequence to loading the rounds, ie last round out of the press, first round into the magazine. I would suspect the chrono before I would suspect the the gun or the press. Nolan

Since the 15-22 has a poly receiver, it is thicker than a AR receiver. The standard pins in the soft poly receiver with a strong hammer spring wears the receiver holes fairly quickly. KNS sells longer pins for the 15-22. https://knsprecisioninc.com/smith-wesson-m-p-15-22-non-rotate-trigger-hammer-build-a-kit/ or you can use the longer pins for the Colt 901 https://geissele.com/trigger-hammer-pins-for-colt-901.html Nolan

97.34% of all statistics are made up. Or he has yet to have a problem that he will admit to? On the other hand I have a buddy that has constant ammo problems and swears he is using once fired brass, except I see him scrounging brass on every stage and after the match. I'm surprised he isn't using once fired bullets! Nolan

Seriously? You're basing your judgement of USPSA GM's on a TV reality show? How about you watch a few Pro-Am match videos, you know par time falling steel matches where you're scored on how many steel you HIT in a short par time, with 10 round magazines instead of gimmicked shooting with weird guns that you get 3 sighting rounds at carnival targets. Nolan

Yeah, I agree, it's really hard to outrun 0.7 second draws, .11 splits, .15 transitions and 95+% Alphas. Nolan

Here's Tom and Deb at the 2023 Open Nationals.

LOL! Nolan

LOL! First person here, who has NEVER been late to anything, raise your hand! Then slap yourself for lying! I don't remember which match, maybe one of the old Friendship Classics in Norco. We were just about finished with our last shooter when Rob Leatham and co, who were in the squad after my squad showed up for their first stage of the day. Rob walks up "Ahh, right on schedule...LATE!" Everyone cracked up. Nolan

Sometimes, some occupations, shi...stuff just isn't under your control about when or where you get off the job. Cut the guy some slack. Cold range or not, if he walked up to the RO while he was on the job with a loaded, concealed pistol while in mufti or in uniform, carried open, NOBODY would have told him to leave the range, it would have been perfectly OK. Nobody was in any more danger just because he was in the match instead of on duty. Nolan
