In the end USPSA is a member/customer support organization. If enough of the customers want something they should have it. It doesn't have to make sense to everyone. the sport and the organization must evolve and change with the times in order to remain relevant.

So, to beat this dead horse just a little more I reiterate, the RO incorrectly applied the rules in this case. In Limited I like to shoot with the hammer back and the safety on but if you haven't trained that way it can be confusing and put you at a disadvantage. This forum is great for geeky discussions of the rules. As competitors we all have a responsibility to understand all of the rules so we can ensure they are being applied correctly by range officials. ROs are responsible for rule applications but if we want to be serious competitors we owe it to ourselves to know the rules completely.

As someone has already said, "I know if there was an FTSA at ULSC but I will only call it at the target. That way everything is in proper order and, if the shooter objects I can explain how I know based on what I saw and when. Very often another RO will have seen it too so there is verification. If I come to a target with 2 mikes and neither I nor another RO on the stage can positively say it was not shot at I will score it 2 mikes. Just like any other scoring call, an RO must be certain of what he or she calls.

I've had a CZ SP01 airsoft gun for a while now and I agree the weight and accuracy is great for practicing. I use it with a laser trainer hooked up to my computer, I believe it is very beneficial as a training device. I've thought about setting up the airsoft USPSA targets and shooting BB but don't want to deal with the mess. How do any of you deal with all the BBs that accumulate indoors?

I agree 100% and share your confusion with criticism of the value of simulated training systems. I come from an aviation background and simulated training is essential there. I also agree that a recoil system with SIRT is orders of magnitude better than dryfire.

How about the during the walk through of the first stage on the first day of a national championship where you step off of the starting position and absent mindedly draw your pistol and take aim at the first target: Freeze in place because you realize what you have just done, DQ yourself, and your trip is over.

Thanks. PM sent

the PAL filler has been mentioned several times on this thread. I know they went out of production several years back but someone said they were going back into production. does anyone know where or how to access the new ones or if they are back into production yet?

If you are considering buying either a 1050 / 1100 or and evolution I say definitely go with the Evolution. I got one of the very first ones shipped. Number 23 from their initial sale at shot show 2018. It had a problem with primers getting crushed in the type of range brass I use. Mark 7 made it right and it has been super reliable ever since. The Evolution is a much more expandable and better made machine. the guts of the manual Evolution are exactly the same as their $10,000 revolution. When you are ready you can add to the Evolution to basically turn it into a Revolution. You could never expand the capability that far with the 1050/1100.

One difference is that you can get the EVO with a handle for manual processing. Additionally, my understanding is that, the larger bullet, and case feeders, primer collator, digital powder measure, and auto drive are options for the EVO and are part of the revolution. Finally, if you get all the optional equipment for the EVO to basically turn it into a Revolution there still is one difference in how the auto drive is implemented between the two machines. The EVO is belt driven and the Revolution is direct drive. My information is from talking to friends that have them and not from the company so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Saul, It is impossible to disprove a negative. I, like you, cannot see how anymore than microscopic amounts of silicone could get into the primer compounds using your method. Even if it did I can't imagine it would have any effect over time. Silicone is not a corrosive element. it is inert. Plastic surgeons put it into human bodies. Just let the worry warts worry.

This is an amazing example of customer service, which should be rewarded. I was not even in the market for a primer collator as the vibra-prime has worked fine for me. However, based on this type of dedication to excellence I can't wait until the website begins accepting new orders so I can get one. Zero risk of disappointment based on DAA's commitment to the product. Bravo Zulu DAA.

For a quick and cheap trigger improvement on the Scorpion buy and install an HBI reduced tension trigger spring for it. This will provide you with a surprisingly large improvement in the trigger weight. For a really first rate trigger job (but much more expensive) you could send your trigger group to CZ custom. I love my scorpion but am switching to a JP for the reduced recoil and dot movement.

Which magwell would you recommend for a GMR-15 build for USPSA? I currently have a rifle on order and specified the TF Fattie magwell option. However, a friend of mine told me the Techwell option is superior. Any advice welcome. Thanks in advance.
