yes it would be, there's no restrictions on weights or the extra barrel length.

This sounds similar to international shooting events. The top scorers of the match qualify for the finals and then the scores from one extra target shot in the finals are added onto the scores from the match to determine the top places. But who knows what they'll do.

But the web site expired 1/21/2014 -- can't see anything right now.

I have Rudy rydons with the inserts. I have inserts with the regular prescription and bifocals for normal wear or red dot shooting and a special prescription for iron sights. They work well for anything I want to do. It isn't that strong so they work for any action sport. If they were stronger there would be a problem with going prone. The eye doctor who can calculate the right prescription should be able to tell you if you're going to have problems like that.

http://www.larrysguns.com/Products/Chamber-Plugs__LGI.aspx for the $10 you get 10 chamber/dry fire plugs. You can put one in the chamber, drop the slide, and then pull the trigger. No harm to the gun.

If you have the spring return on the Lee Powder measure you can get a double charge by lowering the brass out of the powder measure, that's about an inch, and then putting it back up into the measure. Very easy to do while you're screwing around with anything else on the press.

A few years ago the NRA tried to hold informational meetings during the Bullseye phase at Camp Perry. They had some small prizes to give away and were hoping to tell people about shooting action pistol. I think they did it for four years. I'm not sure that anyone except me ever showed up.

Well, that's simply bordering on violating forum rules. We're talking about 1.5" groups at 50 yards. Your FGM guarantees 3" groups at 50 yards on all his guns including the stainless ones, but he does offer 1.5" at 50 yards as an option on carbon steel guns. Can YOU name anyone who guarantees 1.5" groups at 50 yards on any gun they make, or even any guarantee at 50 yards? Probably not. The best I've seen is a 2" guarantee at 25 yards. No comparison. Now, back to the gun store humor. Can you say "Wilson"?? 1"@25 yard guarantee Les Baer From his price list -- Note: Customers can request a "1-1/2” groups at 50 yds.” guarantee on many 5” and 6” steel pistols. This service is available only on Les Baer Pistols. Add... $ 295.00

Just to mention a different sport -- the NRA Action pistol rules say 3.17 Ammunition - ... (f) All ammunition fired by a competitor in a tournament must maintain identical bullet design, weight, and velocity. So your match would be over at the Chrono. At the Bianchi Cup you send bullets to the Chrono at each stage. The NRA rules for chronoing are a lot different too.

Yes. You could do the same thing with one temporary pin. The stage planning would have to be detailed and there'd be a lot of calculations to be done.

that's brain surgeon, fry cook, or double naught spy. Just out of curiousity, how many people have actually weighed their production triggers and found them < 3 pounds? BTW, the NRA Bullseye, International, Bianchi, and real International guys use trigger weights all the time. It is very reproducible. I'm not arguing whether or not to do it, just that it can be done fairly.

Is this still true in the IPSC world? (IPSC Production) Check Your Trigger Pull Weight! Proposed changes to the IPSC 2012 rulebook http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=127983 (I don't know how to post a good looking link to another topic.)

I've never seen one in bullseye but for Action Pistol matches they hang the weight from the trigger and rotate the gun backwards far enough to keep the weights hanging in the middle of the trigger. So the barrel's not vertical but it is somewhat standardized. They'll lift the pistol as slowly as they can to get it to pass. All the weight has to do is clear the table. 1911s are easy, a lot of the international pistols have a groove across the trigger to hold the weight in the center.

The NRA only checks weights before the shooting starts unless the shooter sets a national record. Then the trigger still has to pass the weight check. Every year at the Leg matches at Camp Perry there are guns that won't make weight without a shot of brake cleaner to clean the oil from the hammer and sear. Then the armorer will warn them not to oil anything until after the referees get done with the spot checks on the line.

The NRA checks the trigger weight on a lot of bullseye, international, and Bianchi guns. I don't know about PPC. All guns shot in a CMP Leg match are supposed to be weighed before shooting. ISU Guns used in international shooting (that's not IPSC) get measured all the time. There's a lot of history and procedures there already. I think the real argument is whether or not to weigh them at all.
