That seems very complicated since all you need to do is run a rag or brush through them when you clean the magazines and you are done. We have done CeraKote and it works, but is not worth the cost or hassle unless you are a SEAL or something like that.

It was something to do with hanging from a parachute. To be honest, I don't pay to much attention the the scenario, just what needs to be done on the stage. You had to shoot the front three targets first, then the rest. It was a bit of a unique sensation having never done such a thing before. CW - Thanks for the feedback! I need to figure out the video editing software some more (Adobe Preimer Pro CS5.5), but it sure looks like it should do a better job than Movie Maker

Here is the match we shot. They put on a heck of a fun match with a wide variety of challenges. The XDM 5.25 9mm I used work perfectly. I need to work on my IDPA loads and I dropped a few more -3's than I should have, but no misses and no penalties was good for me. If anyone wants to shoot a fun match, this one has never failed to present a wide variety of challenges and the staff are top notch.

Dawson, I use a .125 for IDPA and .100 for USPSA.

What a fun match!!! I wish every club had the props they do there and the evil minds to create fun stages. All moving targets are in a certain space at one time, so aim at the spot and wait, don't go chasing targets is my motto. When moving targets are on a counter weight, they tend to stall on the first exposure, so hitting it then is easiest. On that fast mover, you just had to draw and shoot real fast. I had 5 shots in it before the hostage, but it was full rock-n-roll, as some times you can not have much of a sight picture, but you still need some. Realizing everyone else will have the same challenge might help you relax, because if you are nervous before the buzzer, it will not get better after it goes off.

Almost all my IDPA specific practice is loads, draws and shooting while leaning or moving. Leaning is a big deal in IDPA and the key is picking a spot for your feet BEFORE you shoot the stage and look at it when you move into position. Keeping your legs far enough apart so you can cover multiple targets by shifting your weight (as described above) is crucial. You also don't want to be jammed into a position unless you have to. IDPA is largely a getting it position game once you can shoot fast accurately and can do the monkey reloads they insist on.

I don't think anyone is saying that is as light as you can go. I wouldn't sell a 1.25 Glock trigger, nor would I a 1.25 XD/XDM trigger.

They are in stock.

"If" they release the .45 before a .40, my guess it would be because they sell more .45's than .40's, and they want to sell many guns as they can.

Unless you have a lot of spare cash, I would try to find someone local that might let you watch while they do the work. I wouldn't want to turn a barrel down or do threading without a good lathe, DRO, and good tooling.

Do you plan on doing a lot of lathe work? What type of things do you want to do and how many do you plan on doing?

Daniel, I didn't make any comments about any of your posts. I stated my position on how we advertise when it comes to professionally sponsored shooters that we do not have a sponsor agreement with and that is my personal choice.

Pro shooters get paid by their sponsors, so going around saying X shooter uses my parts in their pistols without their approval and compensating them appropriately is not something I do without a sponsor relationship in place. What I can say is what I stated previously. The best way to find out what a shooter is using on a particular day is to ask them, as most of them have many guns that are set up differently, and I know that Rob is no exception.

Springfield's custom shop, and he uses parts from several manufacturers in his pistols.

A kit is not the same a shop trigger job.

No, it is just for the XDM's we have the solid stainless steel guide rods for the tacticals. I've messed around with the heavier guide rod on the tacticals, but it makes it too nose heavy for my liking.

There will always be those that must clean the bore. I met Will years ago and stopped cleaning my bores after talking with him. I only use good powder and jacketed or plated bullets. After many of hundreds of thousands of rounds later, I concur with his conclusions. Even my high rounds count guns have not been negatively affected by cleaning the the bore with bullets.

We use them and they work well. We have had issues getting them, as they have sold out quickly and they never seem to make enough. We are expecting some Wed (fingers crossed.)

Did you read it on the internet?

+1 bullets, I know this may give you cold sweats but

Yes, 10 in the mags and 11 to start with (provided nothing against that in the WSB) Seems like a waste of a a high cap mag. But to Each his own. Standard capacity is 19 rounds, 10 rounds are low capacity, more than 19 is high capacity, don't let the media win!!!

The only issue I have had, is that the 5.25's are burning through the piles of ammo at an alarming rate. The feedback we are getting is that this in not limited to us, as they seem to be eating piles of ammo across the country.

FWIW, the differences in the cost of the actual gun is so minimal in the scope of shooting, get what fits you best.

We've don top slots, side slots, and slanted slots, and by far the most popular has been the slanted slots.
