Best to just go with one type - if someone perceives an advantage in one over the other (no matter how slight) you could have an arbitration on your hands I think they make Nitrile gloves in the same sizes as latex, with the same tight feel, etc - should be exactly the same effect Very true... Should have thought that one through.

I too was in the class in Waco. I learned A LOT and still don't understand the wording of all the rules. I hope the RO certification will help me become a better competitor as well as give me some opportunities that I would not have had before.

That probly wouldn't be a bad idea to have both on the stage. I would also tell the RO for the stage to ask every squad if anyone is allergic to latex. You don't want anyone to have a reaction for using a stage prop.

Cool! You were on my squad last year. Gonna be a good squad! Sweet it's going to be like DTC 2008 Squad 22 all over again!

Me!!

Good looking blaster Paul. Hopefully someday I can have Matt build a similar one for me.

I had the same problem with the rounds in the mag coming up slowly with Arredondo base pads on. It took me almost a month to figure out that the springs had "worn out", even though I had only been using them about a month. You might try some new +10% springs and see if it makes a difference. It did the trick for me. FWIW, I only loaded my first mag with 20 rounds, my extra mags had 18 or 19 depending on the stage.

I've only used Arredondo. Heard good things about all of them as you can see above. I did have some problems using them at first, but it was a spring issue and had nothing to do with the basepads. If I had to do it again, I'd still get the Arredondo's.

PRACTICE. I am very cross-eyed dominant, and see two front and rear sights if I try to shoot with both eyes open, like you. It was awkward at first using the tape on my lens, but now during dryfire, I can take the tape off and switch dominance between eyes if I focus hard enough. I'm not comfortable enough to shoot a match without the tape, but I feel like I can get there after more and more practice with and without the tape.

Haha I wish! I've only handled one at the vendors tent during the LPR Nats last year. Felt very balanced, good trigger pull and reset from what I remember. I'd like to shoot one before I go out and buy it...

Wow...can't wait to see the C model.

BTT Deadline to reserve your spot is 5 days away!

This was the exact thought that came to my mind when I read the original post. I don't know if you are switching between guns or not, but if you plan on staying with the 9 mm, you should be able to consistently shoot tighter groups after 500 rounds or so. As long as you don't keep switching back and forth between the larger calibers.

Money is due by December 20th to reserve your spot in the class. There are about 15 slots already taken.

I use Arredondo's for 40 and 9mm. I like them a lot and have not had any problems with the basepads. Never tried anything else though.

I've been using a grip plug which I like better than the permanant magwell because if I need to, or if the production ruling ever changes, I can always remove it.

I think it's time Mr. Burtchell picks a division to shoot!! Haha, just kidding Paul How do you keep up with all those blasters?? Good looking gun! Hope to see it on Saturday at CTRPC.

Yeah they'll work for both mags.

The mag body feed lips and followers are different dimensions, so they probly won't function properly with the different caliber. I'm not sure about the springs and stock basepads though. The arredondo basepads can be used on 9mm and .40 mags.
