I agree, if you feel the need to do more to control the shooter you are the problem that needs solving.

I looked through the rules multiple times and could only find the same info you have posted.

Not once the ambulance comes.

It looks like you have modified the powder bar. Have you tried an unmodified powder bar?

So, if I'm not mistaken here, you are saying he should buy a 1050... today?

If you can see all the targets from one position you can shoot them from that position, right?

No, it just said So when the RO's shot the stage and this guy wasn't present to make them all start his way what happened? I don't know but I'm guessing they followed the WSB. I'd like the same opportunity.

It has a bull barrel.

I don't see the word "pistol" anywhere in USPSA's name. Their "About USPSA" page is also missing this word https://uspsa.org/pages/about

I find it easier to seat primers as I kind of lean into it while I'm pushing the handle back up. It's also easier for me to verify the powder drop in each case.

I don't. I look at the division standings for myself and my friends. I pretty much avoid the overall standings unless I need to see which division someone is in. I've done this with a PCC and it's definitely a case diminishing returns after the first couple of targets, at least for me it was.

The proposed 2019 rules take care of this: For those who haven't seen the proposed rule changes you can see them here https://uspsa.org/rulebook/

Actually we had RO's on a different stage state that it had to be palms and not fingers on the X's for their start position. I just googled "anatomy of the hand" (just to make sure there wasn't some wording that says fingers are attached to but not part of the hand) and the fingers are part of the hand so just fingers would suffice unless the WSB specifically said palms.

I just checked this forum looking for discussions about RO's that decide to "interpret" the start position as something other than what is specifically laid out in the WSB. A perfect example occurred at a recent match where the WSB said, "Standing in Shooting Area heels touching X's, hands relaxed at sides." The RO made everyone stand with feet pointed squarely downrange, shoulders square to the backstop and nose pointing directly at the backstop. This is NOT what the WSB stated and I was a bit annoyed that the crew felt the need to exert their own will in this situation. In the end I didn't care enough to argue and I let it slide, which is my own failing, but I was curious about the right of the RO to force shooters into their "interpretation" of the start position so I came here.

Under section M-2 MATCH ADMINISTRATION RULES the match admin guide states So if I can see the target I can shoot it.

Since you didn't specify that there was an engagement order and you did fire the required number of shots there is no PE for this. So you are down 10 for the two misses and there is no penalty for accidentally hitting the body of the target. He can remove the best hits only if you fire extra shots otherwise you get credit for the best required hits on target. I would say you were down 10.

To the previous responses I'll add slamming the moonclips into the cylinder. I've seen a competitor that slammed the moons in so hard that over a period of time he wore a V shaped notch in the grooved portion of the yoke that retains the cylinder in the gun. The result was that he dumped his cylinder on the ground and the screw that retained it was still snug in the side of the frame..

They haven't posted on Facebook since last June so that doesn't look promising https://www.facebook.com/sidekickmountsoutdoors/ They did post on Instagram last month so you might try messaging them there. https://www.instagram.com/sidekickmounts/?hl=en

That sounds like a fun setup but I can see why you might not want to make the 150pf for moonclipped guns. I am surprised that they let the moonclip server in even in SPD. It just seems too "racy" for IDPA.

I had a counter guy insist that the laser grips that were on a SA Compact Operator (or whatever they call the officer sized one) would only fit that gun and could not fit any other officers sized 1911. I got him to agree that if they did fit on the other gun in the display that he would deduct their value from the, already low, price of the Springfield. One form 4473 later I was headed out the door with a great deal on a 1911 minus a set of laser grips, that I didn't want anyway, grinning as I looked over my really low dollar receipt.

I lube pistol cases in a gallon sized zip lock freezer bag. I put in a couple of squirts of lube prior to placing the brass in the bag and then zip it up and shake the bag for a minute. Dump the brass out to dry and then it's good to load. Doing this makes a noticeable difference in the operation of the press. I dump the loaded rounds out on an old beach towel, spray it with rubbing alcohol, roll it around in the towel, repeat, and it is ready to fire.

Not to get a political conversation going but this is why we complain about activist judges legislating from the bench. DNROI is subverting the process.

The OCD is stronger in some than others and some people just dig gadgets. I can live without the extras on my press.

That may be true but the "overalls" is what got us here.
