Rule 6.2.5.1 moves a competitor to open if they fail equipment requirement. When an open competitor fails they shot for no score. I would suggest they be placed in PCC and scored minor. Since the division with least restrictions is PCC, why not have the penalty for failing equipment to be being placed into PCC instead of open?

Eddie Garcia, EMG customs. Eddie builds fantastic guns the only downside is waiting.

The rule book recommends at the Chrono stage "The Chronograph CRO should have a station next to him where the competitor, when called, can step up and when instructed, show a cleared firearm and then place it on the table per the CRO’s instructions." rule 5.2.1 states "competitors must carry their handguns unloaded in a gun case, gun bag or in a holster securely attached to a belt on their person" What is the point of showing clear before placing firearm on table? If the Chrono officer finds the firearm loaded in either case the result is the same. Competitor is DQed from match. The only benefit would be getting possibly swept after seeing unloaded firearm. Still same result DQ.

I'm a CRO and I catch my last rd. When a competitors does that as long as they don't break any safety issues I don't care. Such as sweeping, muzzle more than 90 degrees. I've been a ro at nationals and CRO at multiple area matches. At the big matches I let the competitors do whatever they like until I have to stop them. At local I'll worn them if they're close, stop them when they cross line. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I can't see anything wrong with that myself. You would need open and iron divisions in rimfire also. All divisions can load magazines to whatever capacity they want. I mean 4 x 2 divisions. With each division having iron or open sights. 1. Main match (center fire pistol) 2. Revolver 3. Rimfire pistol 4. Rimfire rifle Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

IMHO steel challenge should simplify the divisions. Open and iron sights... That's it, with a 5 rd string does it matter if you have 10 or 20 rds in your magazine. Main match, Revo, rimfire pistol and rimfire rifle.

Are you relatively new to the sport? I help mentor new shooters at cactus combat match club in AZ. This is an exercise I tell new shooter to practice at home. Set up 2 tables(you can use 4chairs set up in pairs) 3ft apart and use an unload gun, keep it pointed at the wall in front and make figure 8s going in both direction around the tables. Remember to keep finger out of trigger guard and with practice you shouldn't break the 180 and comfortably move up range with gun over the shoulder and trailing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Having dropped my fancy expensive race gun once at the safety area while holstering it. I now while holstering my gun always double check that it is in my holster before releasing my grip. I do this for every type of holster I'm using. (Open/single stack/3 gun) twice for every stage at make ready & if clear hammer down and holsterSent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have 4, one in main range bag and the one each in my 38sc, 40, & 45 ammo bag. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I saw 2 rts2 crap out at the Area 2 match this weekend

Yeah, my wife knows the names of my relatives better than I do. Been shooting the same local match for years and still can't remember all the names until I'm on the score board.

This is what I tell new shooters to practice at home. Make figure 8's clockwise and counter clockwise around two tables with your practice gun not breaking 180 with what ever they choose to be the imaginary back berm. That way your moving left, right, forward and backwards.

Only walked out of one movie, I generally check reviews before I spend my money. Movie had good reviews, but when I looked around the theater everybody was a sleep. Kiss of the Spider Woman

Stage 7 was lake titicaca!!

Hi CSPCRX, Put me on the list for one.

I got a simple fix. I cut off a finger from a latex glove and stretched it over the ski jump.

I took some sand paper and cleaned up the lever arm, put a drop of oil on center pin. For the last 2000+ all has been good.

Yes, you can have 10 plus one in the chamber. If you watch, most competitors at the make ready command will load one and then refresh that magazine or exchange it for a full mag. There is only one issue, which doesn't effect you. In division that shoot with limited 10 rounds(production and L10) you can start with 11 round in your first magazine, load one into chamber and have 10 rounds in magazine at start. The problem is with unloaded starts and the shooter forgets that he had 11 rounds in starting magazine, if he is caught by the RO he gets bumped into open.(with an unloaded start, after the start command when he loads that mag it will be with 11 rounds)

You can see photos of ports cut on the slides on guns being sold by Brazos, Cameron and many other custom gun builders. Just check their website

USPSA rule is based on length of magazine, so as long as your mag is of legal length with base pads you are ok in limited. I'm not sure for ipsc

Its a level 1 match. You are asking the competitor to buy additional equipment(new holster). Who knows if he will continue with the sport. Perhaps a warning would be better served, if he was to enter a level 2 or 3 match he would be placed into open. Just curious has he joined the USPSA? If so then he should be given a fair amount of time(1 week, 1 month, till next match or 2) to purchase a new holster or be placed into open. However if not and is there just starting out....just let him play, have fun and hope he joins.

+1 for helping jrs

I love my amex, use it for everything, with purchase protection I have replaced a tv and ipod. I also get the rental car coverage, which I used one time. It was all rather painless.
