If you could wear out a VHS, I would have with this movie.

Check the mag spring also. A weak mag spring will cause the last round to feed improperly.

Not exactly sure about this one, but EVERY match I've ever shot, did allow for some check in the morning of....

I tried the "bring up while loading the last one" move, and it didn't work out real well for me especially while moving. Then again, I might have been doing it wrong...

I have a similar dilemma, except I am debating adding a bulletfeeder.

Wood dowel, heat it up with a torch first. I asked this EXACT question awhile back, and after I did it myself, I felt kinda goofy I didn't just try it in the first place.

I ordered a couple of items from shooters connection this morning, and 2 hours later it's on the truck!

Sounds like a few "practice runs" are in order for you and your child. Should be a good experience

avg ~5.5 - 6.0, now for part 2 this evening.

Yep, you got a hot batch, tune it accordingly to your gun ps. It's something I do with every new container of powder I open.

I got an SLP for sale in the classifieds, that is "3gun ready" gun works great, take it and shoot.

Ok, Ok, don't slam down shotgun, it wasn't one of those decisions I put a whole lot of thought into. Yes, it was a foolish move, I earned that, but c'mon, you can't judge my entire attitude, or gun handling skills based on 2 seconds of video. It was my first DQ, and as soon as the moment passed I was over my "emotion", and felt like a total dunce. I learn things from every match I go to, so there were a couple of points for me here, and I'm sure I'll handle it differently if it happens in the future, and these lessons were learned without any loud conversations. Any of you guys DQ'd before? How did you handle it? It really does have a feeling all to itself. Before, I thought I could imagine it, but I couldn't.

Shotgun was bone dry, locked back, and on safe, plus it was the proper dump bucket, no "safe gun handling" issue in anyone's mind. My attitude was one of disgust, but I immediately turned to everyone, apoligized, and had made up my mind that I was gonna stay, and help score, tape, and breakdown, I didn't point any fingers, and had cooled down in maybe 10 seconds. No "very loud conversation" was necessary. My day was done because of the pistol, and everyone knew it. Your mind would have already been made up for ya.

I dealt with 2 herniated disc in my lower back for the majority of 2 years, I understand every word your saying. I hate it also. But, miracles can happen, pain free now for >3 years!

I roll my own, but I see a lot of guys using XM 193.

outerlimits posted his, so I was inspired. It was at a local 3 gun match from a couple of months back. My holster actually cracked on the way over to that stage when I sat down in my truck to drive over, and I "tried" to fix it with some tape before the run. It really is a disgusting/dirty feeling. I'm thankful that no one got hurt. Not sure what you could learn from it, but all my holsters now have a "firm" setting on the retention.

Welcome to the forums! I've got some AR500 steel targets/poppers, and also some regular uspsa cardboard targets (not turtles). Check out Shooters Connection for new ones, they are a great supporter of the shooting sports, and have some good prices too.

is it all the same caliber?

I sharpened a little point on the pin, so it left a good mark, dead center. Yes, pretty easy to undue, but the reason I like it this way is the grip feels really solid, nothing springing/moving around in the web of my hand.

I treat my wife very well, and she does the same for me.

I was blessed/cursed with being fearless. It's been good, and bad!

I'm battleing the addiction well....

was getting to high on my grip, and couldn't find a video on how to do it, so I made my own.
