Sees Target

Sees Target (5/11)

  1. I tried rocksett and couldn't get it to apply and set. I went back to red 272
  2. As others have said, you should check the extractor claw and spring inside the breech face. You will need a long 1/8th T-handle wrench and a heat source. Take apart your slide, including removing the firing pin. Heat up the slide where the breech face is, and then unscrew the breech face screw by inserting the T-handle hex wrench into the firing pin channel. You can then take the breech face out completely, push the pin out that holds the extractor claw into the breech, then replace the spring and inspect the claw. You will probably want to have a vice handly to hold the breech face in place with the extractor claw inserted and the new spring inserted, so that you have both hands free to drive the pin back in to retain everything.
  3. I don't think the barrel is shot out if you're getting a decent group at 15 yards with the Speer ammo. Check your crimp on your reloads.
  4. This rule implies that this is the only acceptable time under which a competitor can have a holstered handgun while competing with another gun. If a competitor is shooting a handgun while also having a handgun holstered that they are not going to use, this to me indicates that they have not assumed the correct start position under 8.2.4 and must be instructed to assume the correct starting position, which includes only having one handgun. Basically, summarizing what @zzt already stated.
  5. The slide, not the frame, is lightened. Spring weight will not significantly influence how much the frame gets battered. What really matters is how well the guide rod is fitted to the frame. If the guide rod is not fitted correctly, it will move under recoil and dig into the frame. https://youtu.be/w_89CEN682Q If you are worried about your frame, you can use a buffer (alumabuff, Wilson combat, etc) but there are tradeoffs. They will reduce the stroke length of the slide which can cause feeding issues and also can degrade and crumble and then cause the gun to jam. I've had a frame that came with Wilson combat buffs, and I used them for a while but eventually stopped replacing them. I'll show pictures of the wear. It's never been an issue and it's had a replacement top end
  6. When your gun has a compensator, the gas reduces the amount of recoil by directing gas backwards, which counteracts some of the forces. The slides are also lightened so that there is less moving mass hitting the back of the frame. Generally, the spring needs to be strong enough to strip a round from the magazine but not heavy enough where it slams the slide back into battery and makes the gun dip.
  7. Because you can still shoot a USPSA match without being a member of USPSA. You can still have an opinion about how USPSA is managed, without being a member. You are gatekeeping
  8. There are a lot of historical reasons for why things have turned out this way, but I think your perspective as a new shooter exactly illustrates a good reason for having production increase the magazine capacity. From the outside, the 10 round limit does not make sense anymore.
  9. Troy has a history of berating volunteer ROs at nationals. I saw an occurrence with my own eyes. Will never volunteer for a national event, and never worked a major match after that. There's a way to communicate with people that is respectful. Clearly Troy does not care and does not respect anyone else.
  10. While the Cameo issue may have been the catalyst, what is really important to keep in mind is that the Board, at multiple points was unable to take any criticism and instead decided to escalate. They should not be surprised that the people they have banned for life from the sport didn't just disappear, and instead are deciding to escalate in kind.
  11. 15 is the lowest common denominator for "wonder nine" pistols. There are certainly pistols out there that come with larger stock capacities, but there are lots that come with 15. Production should accommodate as many stock pistols as possible and 15 is probably the sweet spot
  12. This is sadly an issue with bad stage designs. Designers are getting very creative with the definition of a position and it's not fair to the lowcap divisions. Talk to your club match director and ask them to stop making stages that punish low cap divisions. It is very easy to design stages that are fun, interesting, and don't punish divisions. It just takes someone actually caring
  13. One thing to consider is that 9x23 brass from starline is only 3 cents more per case compared to 38 super comp. It may be more economical to just shoot 9x23, since it will have a recoil and dot tracking like 38sc and ease of reloading compared to 9major.
