I know of a shooter with a Trijicon RMR melted into the slide on a custom SV 9mm open gun. So far in just over a year he has had SIX die.
I'd think the C-More on the frame mount would be the most durable. They usually last 10's if not 100's of thousands of rounds mounted that way. What mount do you have?

If you're coming from Texas I hope you shoot a SV or you're never gonna hear the end of it!
Roy will go into convulsions! Hahaha!!!! 
If it looks like you're gonna get um, detained at the border and your super secret route is compromised hit me up and I'll tell you ours.
Roy... It's a full blown invasion!

Hi Roy!
I've (you've???) been lucky this year. I have managed to bust something at every other match I've shot this year. Most recently I removed a steel plate from its stand.
We, Prop Breakers Inc. will be there and I'm bringing another shooter with us to get the full Michigan experience! If I'm not mistaken he is a big OSU fan so he's really looking forward to coming up!
And yes... we have secret way into MI.
There is NO stopping us!!!

Check with Adrian at magblueprinting.com. He has a dealer forum here. There was someone else doing custom mags, higher capacity? but I don't know if they do S_I mags.

IMO, skip the micrometer insert and get a few regular ones. Once you get them set you can just change them for different powders or loads. I found I didn't adjust the micro one, I just swapped them out.
-
Yes, the upper assembly is available. Check Midway and Natchez.
Edit: Hornady doesn't list just the upper assembly anymore. Midway only lists the entire kit. Sorry.

When I shot Production I didn't wear anything when I shot. A large brimmed hat to keep the sun off when I wasn't but it came off to shoot. When I started Open I found out I like the least sun in my face I can get so I started wearing a visor all the time. If there's a low port or the like on a stage I push it way up. Otherwise I keep it tucked down as tight as I can. It keeps the sun and brass out and helps reduce visual distractions caused by any manner of natural or man made debris.

If your bored one day grind the plastic one down so it's round. I like it much better.

You get used to the sound of bullets whizzing overhead pretty quick.

I wanted to post this for anyone planning on attending...
"I am regretfully telling everyone that the matches at Pardoe are cancelled for the foreseeable future. Club politics has left us no choice but to quit, you can only take so much bs while donating your time. I want to thank everyone who has attended our matches and hope everyone has enjoyed them. Maybe with a little luck we will get new officers next year and be able to return, thanks again Sam and the gang."
I hate it when we loose matches.

Nobody and I mean nobody local to me stocks them. I got them from McMaster Carr which is almost an hour away but it was cheaper to drive than ship. You could also try Palmer Bolt but shooting Matt an email sounds like plan.

Question... are you dealing with any bad weather in your area? Are other sites slow? I'm just asking as its been smoking fast on Verizon 3G and Roadrunner through Time Warner here in ne Ohio.
-
Are there results anywhere for this?
-
Maybe you're thinking of 300 Whisper and 300 Blackout? I read an article in an outdoor magazine that it's possible to use one of those in the other but not the other way around. Sorry but I don't remember which way it works.

It's 1/8" music wire, drill rod, drill bit, etc. If you have any scrap of 1/8" diameter metal and a Dremmel you have a pin. Otherwise, Tarren (sp?) Tactical has bought the line. He may be of assistance.

Last year was 20 stages and right around 400 rounds right? More stages and more rounds this year would be more better!

I shoot Roy's match every month and really like the electronic scoring. It's awesome knowing where you finished before leaving.
With that said I saw something over the summer that turned me off of them for major match scoring. At Area 5 a competitor had to reshoot a hideous memory stage when the batteries died in whatever device they were using right as they finished scoring the stage. Pens may run out of ink but you don't lose the score.
If they constantly synced so that never happens I'd be more in favor of using them at a major but until then I think they are for local matches only.
Had it been my score that was lost due to a dead battery on that stage I'd have been... um, irritated to put it mildly.
(in bold) this isn't going to happen. If you lose a stage in the middle of scoring, it's gone. It will be an impossibility for a sync to happen every hit entered. Every handheld electronic device is going to have this issue. Dead Batteries on electronic devices for scoring is like running out of fuel in an airplane in flight.
There's a simple solution - and actually quite effective. Don't paste until "all scored". On a 32 round course, reset the steel and put 6 people out there ready to paste the target when all scores are entered. It's not going to slow anything down, and makes everyone work.
Electronic scoring is one of the critical parts to getting the sport more "followable". Being able to understand what a run on a particular course means for the neophyte will really help understanding - ever try to explain hit factor scoring to someone new?? Show them the stage results page and all of the sudden the lights go on.
That's my point, it was scored, the RO called scoring complete and the 8+ guys on the stage had it pasted in seconds. Was the scoring really complete? No. It wasn't saved yet. Believe me, I understand snot happens. A "helpful" shooter cost a good friend of mine a smoking run at nationals last year. The reshoot went worse than yours, way worse. I also know that constant sync is an impossibility. I guess I should have pointed out that that was a sarcastic comment. I 100% agree that batteries going dead just shouldn't happen but they do. Things get missed. It's just my opinion that this is one of those things that should not happen at a major match. Scores can get recorded wrong on paper, etc etc etc can go wrong but I think this is one thing that just shouldn't even be given a chance to go wrong at a major match. My .02

Take the screw out, remove the ratchet tab and reinstall the screw. Mine lasted 100 rounds. It worked OK but I think you'll find most 1050 owners remove the tab. It's there to keep you from short stroking the press. If you have good loading habits it just gets in the way IMO.

Awesome! Thanks so much. You have this down to a science.

My old STI tube fits my new SV stainless Signature grip without issue. Two of the new style SV mags I have fit just fine, one doesn't. The grip is bolted to a STI frame.
Like Carmine said, it's a maybe thing.

G2gemini is another source. Check them out at:

If the shooter hasn't broken the 180 and his/her muzzle ends up pointing at the RO, it's still the RO's fault in my opinion. Is it going to freak both the shooter and to RO out? Damn straight. Is it grounds for a DQ? Not in my understanding. The shooter "owns" 180° of the range and it sure isn't his/her fault somebody is trespassing.
Roy will go into convulsions! Hahaha!!!!
