  1. in my experience A DAA magnet will hold Glock mags pretty well up to about 25rd(if that) capacity, any more and it seems to be too much weight for moving around.
  2. Using range brass, no sorting, lanolin type lube and a Dillon sizing die my reject rate is under 1% or less with the hundo.
  3. I havent had any accuracy issues with RN bullets in the past, and the gun feeds JHPs fine. This more of a reloading equipment experiment/test.
  4. Looking for sources for 124gr jacketed(NOT plated) round nose bullets with no exposed lead. I have found that Montana Gold does it, but what else is out there?
  5. In my experience with a few different JP barrels I found them to be a tight bore. I was getting a lot of comp leading with coated bullets and after recovering a few out of some snow I could see why. The barrel was really stripping the coating off more than some other barrels I have. I switched to jacketed bullets. FWIW I was using N320 and WSF at the time.
  6. There is nothing on my gun for the stuff to eat up. If its an issue throttle body cleaner for fuel injected cars works well and can be had in "plastic safe" flavor.
  7. Whenever I get around to it, usually twice a year(I shoot 20-30K a year) I just hose the lower out with carb cleaner(not brake cleaner), blow it out with compressed air and lube the trigger, safety and take down pins. I prefer to use carb cleaner, because unlike brake clean carb clean normally has a bit of lube/corrosion inhibitor built in.
  8. For every glock mag I own with an extension on it I chamfer all the sharp edges on the follower, paying special attention to the lower edge on the rear of the follower. I also clear out any plastic molding flash inside the bottom of the magazine tube. I have put together about two dozen different generations and lengths using three or four different makes of extensions. I have no issues loading any of them to rated capacity. I did find with the TTI +10s out of the box with an untouched mag/follower they would hang up around round 35/36. Easy temp fix is just fill the mag til it hangs up, grip the mag in one hand with your thumb putting down pressure on the top round and smack the baseplate into the palm of your other hand. this will get the follower past the sticking point. Keep that thumb pressure applied and continue loading. If you do this enough times the follower will eventually wear down and the problem will go away.
  9. As a previous club BOD member and now 2yrs VP I have tried, but unfourtunatley the intrest within my small northern VT club doesnt seem to be there. Doesnt mean Im not going to try again this year
  10. In my area(2hrs drive)there are no other options to shoot a rifle.
  11. Sure did and anyone that doesnt get the sarcasm there needs to reevaulate their priorities in the sport/hobby.
  12. I would absolutely love to shoot some PCC only matches with USPSA rules. The reality is, at the moment, pretty much nation wide, the best game in town for someone who wants to run and gun with a rifle is at "normal" USPSA matches. That may change in the future, but for now us degenerate PCC shooters will have to continue to stink up "normal" USPSA matches.
  13. I havent seen any. Maybe they realize its just another division and/or worrying about your own shooting is more important than what others are doing?
  14. *SMH, why does it always seem to come up. Yes, its easier in a lot, if not most cases to place shots on target during a USPSA match with a rifle than it is a pistol. That does not equate to competing with a rifle being easier. Its all relative to the competition, in that division, on that day. Would I as a A class PCC shooter have an easier time competing against Max Leograndis(Nats champ) than any A class Open shooter would have against Max Michel or Eric G? All of the talk of its boring/lame/easier is so short sighted it makes my head spin.
  15. With statements like that, makes me thik PCC isnt the problem here
  16. Maybe you do not realize that "we", USPSA does NOT combine results and in fact separates them. Its a third party application that does this(Practiscore). There is nothing official about that applications combined results. If PS did not exist and we were only given the official results what would you be doing about the lack of competition in each division at locals? Do you think if PS did not exsist there would be a huge abandonment of the PCC division?
  17. Correct me if I am wrong here on these few points. Im not talking about whats in the rules, just the reality on the ground of muzzle safety issues: 1:Safety wise there is no difference between a bagged PCC and a bagged handgun. We cant know if the shooter who just grabbed his bag out of their vehicle at the start of the day has a loaded firearm in there or not as they make their way to the safety table sweeping competitors and staff. 2:It is possible through natural match day body movements such as resetting the stage to sweep fellow competitors with both a holstered hand gun and a slung PCC. Vertically carted or bagged-on-the-ground, at the berm PCCs wont sweep anyone during these movements. 3: Through mechanical failure or improper trigger jobs, in a perfect storm scenario(loaded gun from the car) a handgun has a higher chance of discharging a round than a flagged PCC. While bagged and PCC unflagged the chances are the same. 4: Referencing #3 is easier on the whole for a handgun to discharge vs. a flagged PCC. Period. As is was said before, emotion, not logic is forming most folks opinions about the real muzzle safety of handgun vs. PCC. Its not a coincidence that most that claim these PCC muzzle dangers are almost always those that dont feel the divisions belongs in the sport. When you are grasping at straws, any straw will do I guess...
  18. Ive seen pics of folks running the taccom aluminum barrel setup with no handguard on it.
  19. I bought one to check out. One look at the flexible plastic "ejector" and I was like "nope". One missed reload, one drop at the right angle and that thing is done for.
  20. What do you do with a PCC shooter whos gun has no handguard?
