  1. Aftec propperly prepped and installed combined with one of brazos' tuned ejectors (or an ejector that you have tuned yourself according to the article that bob published in front sight, you can find it on his webpage). For full happiness don't feed it random range brass. If you a look at a handfull of range pickup with a united nations worth of headstamps and measure the rims and extractor groves you'll see one of the reasons (in my opinion) people have issues with 9mm major. I like Federal/speer/winchester myself. Some people seem to get away with mix and match brass but looking at the differences in the way different cases ejected in my guns when i started with 9mm major ( 7 or 8 years ago) has convinced me to stick with major domestic makers for my brass.

  2. As a mid A pistol shooter, every time I have tried pistol verses carbine/PCC with open targets inside 15 yards, pistol is faster. Lots of hard cover, no shoots, distance, the carbine/PCC walks by the pistol easily, at least in my hands.

    Irons or dot or don't matter?

    In my case the carbine had an eotech or a good 1-4 with a daylight visible dot set on 1x. That's why I figure it is a good comparison with my open pistol. The stages in question had a fair amount of hard cover and no shoots.

  3. For several years in the uspsa pistol match I ran we would run a rifle side match after the pistol match. We would usually reshoot one of longer pistol field courses with our ARs (not PCCs but a fair comparison) my time with an open pistol shooting major was usually faster than my time with my carbine. The points were normally better with the pistol. Now I am a low/middle of the pack M in open. I am a decent but by no means the fsstest rifle shooter. So maybe someone really quick with a rifle would be the opposite but if they put the time in shooting an open pistol... maybe not.

    Now in this case none of the shots were farther than 20 yards so that probably influences this some.

  4. Understand. Though if Ben is going to stick around and shoot he can't use the unicorn. I believe it is heavier than 35oz.

    Well, if Ben wanted to troll everyone he could show up with this:

    Why would that be trolling, if it makes weight (and I think some one has one alread that does with a dot, zhunter maybe?) Looks like a heck of a choice.
  5. First to happen at match was a factory para extractor lost tension. Over the years... Couple of the little collars on the aftec that hold the springs. Couple of cracked firing pin stops. 1 factory ambi safety (strong side broke off just beyond where the pin joins to the plate). Countless fiber optic rods (far fewer after I started doing a better job of installing them). Scope mount hole on a backup caspian open gun won't hold a screw anymore (gun has a thin dust cover just not much meat to tap... I need to get it welded up one of these days.) Bent a firing pin (round without a primer got through unnoticed in some practice ammo pin (extended) got stuck in the flash hole of the case (best I can tell) when I cleared the malfunction it bent the firing pin which was left sticking out of the breech face. Cracked 2 slides 1 on the right side through the ejection port, the other on left side at the square corner at the top of the ejection port and the breech face (both were on high rount count open guns so that almost shouldn't count, more like a wear item). Couple of tungsten guide rods (one which launched itself down range during a classifier and actually didn't even stop the gun. I am sure there is more, I just can't remember.

    I don't count aftec springs, recoil springs, or mag springs as generally those are wear items that don't normally break rather just wear out and stop working.

  6. I enjoyed it as well... it was a nice mix of the new direction they have been taking the movies in (which in my opinion are a little closer to the books) and some fun nods to the good stuff from the traditional bond movies.
