[Tanfo USPSA Package]

I agree with IHAVEGAS. I have not noticed any difference yet. I purchased them both through the Stoeger Pro Shop and had them worked on prior to them being shipped to me. 

[Tanfo USPSA Package]

I have two guns set up identical. Use one of them just for matches. Derek Guthrie at Practically Perfect Performance did my triggers and he does a fantastic job and is good to work with.

[Bullet Pullers]

Sarge, I have only used it on blue bullets. Yea, every once and awhile it mars the bullet. But due to the time and stress savings it is worth it.

[Bullet Pullers]

Sarge, awhile back I ran into the same situation. I am not a huge fan of the old hammer type when it comes to quantity. Therefore I purchased a RCBS collet bullet puller and attached it to an old single stage press that I had laying around. It works really well for me, I just sit down and go to work. 

[I know where the Stock ll's are.....]

Derek Guthrie at Ben Stoeger's Pro Shop does excellent trigger work.

[Foot Issues - Plantar Fasciitis?]

I have suffered from plantar fasciitis several years ago. Damn it is painful. I was at a trade show and a person saw me hobbling around and he knew what was wrong. He suggested wearing cowboy boots, I guess it has something to do with how the foot position is. I tried it and it actually worked! I also wear salomon shoes, which they advertise help with plantar fasciitis. 

[How many matches do you shoot per month?]

I am fortunate to live in an area where I could shoot 4 nights a week and every weekend. However, I only shoot matches once a week.  

[Dovetail Mount for Carry Optics]

I started out with the dovetail mount on a G-34, just to see if Carry Optics was something I would like. I quickly learned I did like shooting it, so I had the slide milled. Happy I went that route. I agree the difference in sight height is minimal, but the difference was enough that I would never do dovetail mounts again.

[What podcasts do you listen to?]

New awesome podcast- Short Course with GM Ben Berry.

[Electronic muffs or plugs or ? for 1st match]

It always amazes me, and I am as guilty as the next, we spend lots of money on our guns, ammo, gear, and matches. However, when it comes to eye and ear protection we tend to look for the cheapest options. As I am getting older I am valuing my ears more, therefore always double plug.

[What podcasts do you listen to?]

In Order: Practical Pistol Show, Shoot Fast Podcast, Shannon Smith Shooting Show, That Shooting Show, Firearms Nation,  and Triangle Tactical.

[What Bullet weight for 9mm Production]

147. Look at what the most people shot at past years of Production Nationals. 

[How to deal with a really bad match result?]

Think of anything you did good in the match and focus on that. 

[Where are your eyes before the buzzer goes off?]

The middle of highest available scoring zone of the first target.

[Dillon 1050 converting 9 to 38SC]

Thanks all.

[Dillon 1050 converting 9 to 38SC]

I am loading 9mm on a 1050. What Dillon parts do I need to purchase to start loading 38 super comp? Thanks.

[G.P.S. Handgunner Backpack]

I agree with Southpaw. Got rid of the foam. I also use a rug and am able to fit a journal and ammo in the compartment. 

[Dillon Customer Service]

I just got off the phone with Dillon, due to having to order a part for my 550B. As mentioned many times in the past their customer service ROCKS! Very professional and helpful.

[Production Nationals]

You are not alone.

[Major match, minor practice]

Trent 1k1 thanks for the response and advice.

[Major match, minor practice]

I am quickly running out of powder to load major 9 ammo, therefore have been considering saving my major powder for match ammo and loading 9 minor for practice. Does anyone else do this? And if so, besides the headache of re-zeroing the c-more with every switch, should I be concerned about anything else?

[Dry Firing]

Just to add my 2 cents worth. I dry fire regularly, a minimum of 15 minutes/session 6 days a week.

One thing I noticed when doing X number of repetitions, I was spending too much time thinking/concentrating on what repetition I was on rather than focusing on the drill it self. This is not good, one needs to focus on the drill, not just doing mindless repetitions for a certain number of times, as mentioned above.

To solve this problem I now set the countdown/timer function on my wrist watch for a specific amount of time, example 2 minutes. I then activate my watch and begin a specific drill. When the alarm goes off on my watch I start a different drill. This allows me to focus on what is important, and not worry about counting.

[Man Card check]

At work = Leatherman

Not at work = benchmade

[Problems ordering from Montana Gold?]

_{Another MG happy customer. They give more than lip service to our sport.}

[Ear Plugs vs Muffs]

It amazes me that shooters will spend hundreds, and many times thousands upon thousands of dollars on guns, rigs, ammo,etc... But when it comes to our hearing we tend to worry about cost. I am not pointing fingures, as I am in the same boat. However, when we are old and grey, how many of us will wish we would have spent more money on protecting our hearing.
