When the gun fires and sights lift you transition to next target. Versus typically after second shot people will see sights lift and come back down to where they were aiming and then make the transition. You will hear JJ refer to that as flatlining.

Thank you for your service.

I got the level 2 so I can use it for 3 gun. I can just pop the hood off if i dont want the retention.
For USPSA, if your holster has retention, you must use it like that, can’t just not lock it whenever you feel like it.

My gen5 is way slower than my Gen 3s. Same ammo, Gen 5 will Chrono 128pf and I’m at 135-137 in my Gen 3 G34 and wife Gen 4 G17 chrono at 135+ as well. I chrono around 130 with my KKM barrel in Gen 3 G34 as well.

H and similar posters: if you have a problem chronoing shiny bullets your chrono position is wrong. You have direct sunlight hitting the chrono and in particular the sensing ports. That is a no no. The chrono should be completely in the shade with the sky screens open to the sky. That, and shooting directly down the long axis of the chrono parallel to the sensing ports is the ONLY way to get accurate results. Better yet, do it in the shade and use an IR light kit.
Not always possible in Southern Oregon. One range has no shade so your at mercy of cloud cover. I’ve tried to put a white target on top of screens. Sometimes it works.
Only other thing that I’ve seen cause big variation is bullet set back but that usually make rounds way too fast.

Another possibility is X-treme bullets are very shiny. That can cause erratic readings. I have been told and have tried coloring the bullet with black magic marker. I did not get big swings using this method. My powder for the test was VV N350. I also don't load for major PF and have not had any issues with the bullets. I used to use Montana Gold 115 gr. CMJ but haven't been able to get for over a year so I quit using them.
I’ve run into this before too, black sharpie works when the glint is too much for chrono screens.

N340 is not the powder you want for 9major. Did you check for over pressure signs? Trying to make 170Pf with N340 you have to be at the edge. Get some N350, 3N37,3N38 or Major pistol powder
It can be done with N340, similar to WSF for 9 major.

any of you guys having issues with the leaf spring assembly coming apart?
Yes, if you smack them hard they want to come out. Should clarify the back plastic piece for retention comes out with mag.

So that isnt normal? Ok, I'll call PSA. Could anyone post a pic of a GOOD feed ramp/chamber?
Normally I'd fire up the dremel to ease that transition, but anything removed will also remove chamber support. Seems like material needs to be added in this case.
For what it's worth, I was able to get a super slow mo video:

I beg to differ. Look at the case. If it had happened INSIDE the chamber, as you suggest, the case would not be splayed apart as it is. The chamber would have contained the rupture and the split would be more uniform....and the case would not be bulged all the way around as it is.
Yes it obviously fired out of battery but I would say the main cause was the bullet setback on a stepped case. It might not of blown out of it wasn’t a stepped case. Don’t know what press the ammo was reloaded on but my 1050 gets stuck on stepped brass and won’t resize cases. Wonder if press could have had similar issue on sizing/depriming and didn’t fully resize and that’s possibly why round wouldn’t chamber all the way if you don’t case gauge ammo.

Bullet setback on a stepped case causing higher pressure, not oob.

Well damn I have been using it for years pushing a 147. I was thinking 4.0 and call it a day
I tried WST with moly 135s, was around 3.7-3.8gr out of a 16” barrel.

Average low in Feb is 48°F with average high of 72°. So it’s freezing for you Hawaiian guys.

What do you mean you don’t have to call stop? If an RO sees steel down prior to being shot he must call stop. What if it’s a 32 round COF and you notice it within the first few seconds? You certainly won’t let the guy waste 32 rounds right?
As soon as you discover a problem and you know the steel wasn’t up or I have seen were a bigger pops falls and hits ground and causes nearby popper to fall, stop shooter. I wouldn’t want to waste ammo and I wouldn’t want to give shooter a practice run on rest of stage either.

Having to run weird nonlinear stage plans in order to plan around reloading every 10 rounds frequently does drive people away from Production to other divisions as soon as they can get guns that enable them to compete elsewhere. There are also way too many nationally competitive GMs shooting plastic guns for anyone to think that you need an expensive gun to win Production matches.
I addressed the 10-round limit in certain states in my original post. If you live in a Commie state and you are involved enough in the sport to want to travel to matches in unrestricted states, then you are involved enough to figure out how a rivet gun works. A lot of the MDs in Commies state ignore the capacity limits anyway.
Are there any 9mm Production-legal gun which have a capacity low enough to be excluded by a 15-round limit? Besides, if a newbie wants to run a .40 or .45 that only holds 12 rounds, wouldn't they be better served by starting out in Limited 10?
I looked up your classification record and it seems like you shoot Production pretty often. I'm genuinely curious what aspects of the division you find most appealing (for me it's iron sights and minor power factor). Are any of those aspects directly dependent on the 10-round limit? As I said before, I don't really care about 10 vs. 15 rounds as long as people aren't jumping ship for Limited or CO, but the round limit does seem to make Production less interesting to watch; a well-executed 10-round stage plan doesn't flow very well or look all that cool, even at the highest levels. I honestly don't understand why a significant portion of the membership is so driven to keep things exactly as they are even if changes may improve participation in a division that seems to be drying up.
I shoot production with a Glock g34 and love the challenge of trying to keep up with other divisions that don’t have to reload. The division has a low barrier to entry, I shot with uncle mike mag pouches in the beginning and a bladetech Kydex holster. Most of the stages have turned into shoot 8, reload, shoot 8, shoot 8 reload, etc anyway. Keeping it to a 10 round division makes it the most inclusive to gun and caliber option, and other sport crossover like idpa or steel challenge. Switching it to 15 rounds is just a couple of rounds away from it being Limited minor. Having to do one less reload isn’t going to increase in my opinion. Most people that I know shooting in production appreciate the 10 round limit as it is the great equalizer and no matter what gun you have, you have to be good at reloads.

Check out the CMORE C3 rifle scope good 1-6, I like the reticle and check Todd Jarrett Instagram, there is a discount code there to get scope for $799

Percentage wise 20% is a lot.
I thought to be closer and expected more in carry optics than limited.
I was surprised the huge swing between open and pcc, and only 1 PCC was in the top 10 of combined, the guys bringing rifles to pistol matches got smoked by the pistol shooters.
So much for the bringing a rifle to a pistol match argument.

193 vs 233 doesn't seem like a massive difference to me.
CO became a division in what 2015, but it's current version with 140mm mags was 2017. How many years has limited been a division?
Limited goes back almost 30 years, as far as I can tell they have Limited National champ going back to 1992.

I personally don't care about the division capacity and I definitely wouldn't be in favor of increasing the capacity limit if it caused more people to leave. However, I do know a lot of people who dislike reloading 3+ times during a long course and cite this as the main reason that they don't shoot Production anymore. Why not run a provisional 15 round division and see if it's popular? It won't drastically change how the dynamic of the division and it doesn't contradict the vision of Production as a place where you can shoot "stock" guns. To reiterate, my main concern is increasing participation in some sort of accessible minor-only iron sight division; if Production-15 can accomplish that (which I think it will), then I am all for it.
As for shooting a Production gun in Limited... minor scoring isn't competitive when everyone else is shooting major. Pretty sure that one has already been beat to death.
Having to do reloads is not what keeps new people from coming out and shooting matches. It’s the perception that you have to have some high dollar tricked out gun to compete or be competitive. The 10 round limit made it equitable across all states and didn’t exclude guns that have 12, 13 or 15 round mag capacities.
If you shoot production 15 as Limited minor, then just look at the results for those people if that’s what you want to compare yourself too. I’ve seen plenty of shooters shoot Limited minor and beat others shooting major.
