I recently started having this issue around the time that my primer magazine tip broke. For around 1/10 primers, the primer will drop onto the shuttle or, worse, fling forward from the press and onto the floor. After the tip broke I replaced it with a new one. Since then, I've checked the height of the primer cup, and made sure that the primer cup travels all the way and stops directly underneath the primer magazine. The only thing I can see that might be wrong is that the primer cup is slightly bent, and sitting slightly off. Has anyone else done successful troubleshooting on this issue?

The only ones I've used that attenuate well are Ops-Core Amps with NFMI plugs. They are about a $1k setup, unfortunately, but are head and shoulders above any other hearing protection out there.

I hate to seem like I was avoiding tagging you, but I didn't ask you directly because it was obvious that there was something going on behind the scenes that wasn't being talked about publicly. Even what you just posted was a non-answer lol. Oh well. Guess I'll just go on with no more Area matches in TX.

Anyone know why it was cancelled and moved? I'm pretty miffed because Texas has a drought of Area matches for both USPSA and Steel Challenge.

No comps, and banning plated and jacketed bullets? Is this an outdoor range between two high rise apartments or something?

Glad that it helped you! Someone at the match mentioned it once and I figured I couldn't lose for how cheap they are. It really makes a difference!

I did three things to make mine run, and I'd recommend them to people running any variation of 10/22 1. Select an ammunition that runs consistently. All reliability stems from the ammo choice, and not all ammos work well in all guns. My go-to is 40gr RN CCI Mini Mag. I cannot run the 36gr at all, but the RN works perfectly. I've tried many brands and this is just what works for me. I buy it in bulk when possible and just don't use anything else for matches. 2. Use a VQ or Tandemkross extractor. 3. Use the Kidd upgraded magazine latch plunger and spring to hold the magazine tighter. If those don't work, then it's probably not a bad idea to use your phone to take some slow-mo video of the gun cycling. This has been a game changer for diagnosing issues, and you might find something unique about your setup that you'll need to account for.

Sight radius matters very little. I got to handle a Wiland setup at last weekend's match and I was really impressed. The sight picture was excellent, with the rear aperture being an appropriate size for mounting forward on the receiver. Very easy to pick up and chase through transitions. I used a stock T/CR22 to get my GM, but the Wiland sizing is just right for steel challenge. It was significantly easier to use.

USPSA membership gets you a SCSA membership though

Funny contrast between the two last comments.

My local match has 90 shooters and 5 stages. I don't want any more new shooters lol, I'm already skipping matches because I don't feel like being out there for 8 hours.

I've been super pleased with my T/CR22. It has been reliable out of the box, and is good enough that I made GM in RFRI in two matches with it. Not too shabby for a <$350 gun. Throw a red dot on there, get familiar with the division, then upgrade the stock, trigger, and barrel if you want to down the road. The Wiland arms stuff looks awesome, and falls at just the right price point.

Are they making the X5 Legion in .40 yet?

I would have preferred that there be no weight limit established, since as MikeBurgess mentioned and you proved, it gives people a target to shoot for. USPSA obviously didn't consult me before they started these waves of rule changes to Prod and Poor Open. I view allowing frame weights as antithetical to the idea of a "carry optics" gun, like a compensator or a *thumb rest [generic]*. Now here's where I get hung up- imagine someone could replace internal parts with tungsten parts to take a Glock up to 59oz. Should that be prohibited like a frame weight? I'd say yes, but it would have been legal even under the old rules, with the exception of that particular weight limit.

Until you realize you can hit M or GM. There are already two divisions where people can make (mostly) unlimited modifications to their guns. Why should we further blur the lines between Poor Open and Open?

Well the original rules for CO didn't allow huge slide cuts like S2 shooters needed. I think moaning about how one's Glock isn't competitive should be rewarded with a ban that is only lifted once you prove you've taken a training course, or made at least 6 trips to the range for practice.

That's what I was afraid of. Maybe once CZ-USA is open again I'll call them and see if I can get a warranty claim on the barrel. I can't imagine it's supposed to allow the brass to expand that much.

You'll have to explain the necking- I'm not familiar with the term. The cases drop into my CZ chamber, but do not with any other pistols.

Anyone else seeing problems with bulged brass from their P-10F? These loads were 145pf- too hot? The chamber on mine is pretty generous, and even this bulged case drops back in. After resizing, it causes this crease/fold on the brass and I toss any like it to be on the safe side. It's a pain when 50% of the cases fired from the CZ have this.

Gotta do what you've gotta do to save money. Saving a few cents doesn't sound like much if you only shoot 1k rounds a year, but what about when you shoot 10k-15k? More? If you save $0.05 per round and shoot 10k per year, you're saving $500. If you buy brass for $0.03/ea, that's $300 gone that you could have saved by spending 15 minutes at the end of a range day. I'll gladly give myself something satisfying to do in my free time that actually saves me some money.

Any reason why you didn't leave the red return spring in?

Is it a new gun? Mine took a couple weeks of dryfire to break in. It's much better now.

The Williams girls don't seem to have much trouble with it. They've still got faster reloads than most shooters.

Perfect, thanks!

I'm going to be using my PPQ 5" M2 for production soon, and while playing around with setups I discovered that the SS guide rod and ISMI spring from my Gen 3 Glock 17 will fit and seem to function fine in the gun. Upon doing some research, however, it seems like people are split on whether this is appropriate for the gun, and some suggest just buying the $40 PPQ-specific guide rod. For a cheapass like me, is there any downside to just running one of the many Gen 3 Glock setups I have in my parts box?
