It's a good thing J- Ho doesn't have that skinny rice farmer thing going or he might have departed stage 4 along with his oreintal top cap when that first gust of wind hit. Glad you all got home safely. Bob

It sounds like you missed the hole in the barrel link with the slide stop pin. I would try grasping the gun by the slide with the left hand and drive the right hand into the rear of the grip to dislodge. If it gives be sure to continue rearward with the slide and try to get back to slide-lock. Bob

Joe, I thought it was pretty crappy too. I purchased a used 012 from this forum and thought maybee something was funny with it. My expectation was that the trigger gaurd would go under the latch petals. Unless I really cranked down on the tension screw there was nothing keeping the pistol from coming up through. After numerous phone calls to Safariland and a new trigger module and some measuring of the gap under petals and front of trigger gaurd on 1911's it became clear that they were not going under the petals either. Take the trigger module out of the holster frame and slide your 1911 into it and you can see that the front of the trigger gaurd does not go under petals. If you look at the profile of the bottom of the petals you'll see that if the front of the trigger gaurd did go under them, youd never get it back out. Sguared edges and no ramp to push petals back out. My 1911's seem to snap in to but its all tension screw. I would not run with my pistol in this holster!! Bob

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that didn't know how this holster worked!! I kept wanting the trigger gaurd to go under the bottom of the latch petals. Forget that. Take out the shim thats between the trigger block and the aluminum frame, Joe. That allows the bottom of the trigger gaurd to set deep enough for the top of the petals to engauge it when you push the trigger gaurd down through them. This keeps the trigger gaurd from coming through them in a foward direction only. The rest for an upward motion is done strictly by friction on the side of the trigger gaurd and is adjusted with the tension screw on the side. It only took me a new trigger block from safariland and hours of frustration to figure out how it's supposed to work and I still can't say I like it that much. Bob

Is your system the standard model or the infra-red? My standard model has worked first time, every time and I have a very high opinion of this system. What time of day and what sun position are you having trouble?? I've done most of my cronying in the mid to late afternoon with the sun at my back. I've shot 9mm,40sw and 45acp accross it but I'm shooting from about 4to5 ft. from the muzzle to the first screen. Also I'm setting a target at about 30 yds. and at an appropriate height to be shooting accross the windows flatly and about 4 inches in height above the windows. Put a target dot on the target and line the skyscreens up on the target and go to town. You might try a different time of day, shoot a different direction in relation to the sun, make sure your timer is away from the muzzle, insure your allignment is good and the bullet is crossing both windows. If you can't get squared away call Pact. 1-800-PACT INC. They say they will get you squared away. Good luck. Bob

Sorry you couldn't make this one Chris. Hope to see you next month. Take care. Bob

I'll bet Danny can fix that Division error before sending in the classifier scores. We're still having computer problems. Mine won't download all the updates so we borrowed Scott's for this match. I'll have someone work on mine and we'll get squared away somehow or ta nother. Bob

My understanding is that the new E-z score will automatically e-mail them out to all the shooters at the match if you have their e-mail address. ????hey- technology-???? What do I know? Bob

John, Just e-mailed you results from todays match. You may get these again from danny. They were having trouble getting them to go out to everyone. Working on it. Bob

Our first match today, after reaffilliating was a great success for this small club. We would like to sincerely thank all the shooters that made the long drive from Albuquerque, Mountainaire, Edgewood, and Carlsbad. The show of support from you folks warmed our hearts. Trust everyone got home safe and sound. Hope all enjoyed the stages and had a good time. We would liked to have been able to shoot with the other squad and get to know everyone else. Maybee next time. Will see you soon at the Albuquerque match. Bob

Dawson Precision shows with factory rear their front sight is .155high with a .125 thick blade. Thats a ramped serrated FO, p/n 019-001, at $39.00.

Series 80 has an internal firing pin safety block, making for to many extra and unneeded parts.

Is the weatherman always wrong??? We got a light rain for about 1hr and no snow from this monster storm they have been talking about for days. The sun is out and it's supposed to be 60 degrees tommorow. We set up at 8:00am and match starts about 9:00 am. Probably more like 9:15. Range is NE of Roswell on US-70, Portales-Clovis highway. It is 3.2 miles east from the overpass on the south side of the highway, just past the DOT weigh station pull off. White sign says Roswell Gun Club at the white and yellow gate. IPSC-USPSA range is all the way to the back. Travel safe. Bob

I have 7 or 8 Kimbers of various flavors and probably 50 Chip McCormick mags of various flavors. Shooting Star, Power mags, Tactical mags, 10 rounders. Every CMC mag that I have ever used worked flawlessly and all engage slide stop very reliably. Have seen some problems caused by shock buffers that are to thick, either slide stop wont engage or is hard to disengage. Try removing shock buff if you're running one and see if that changes anything. I prefer Wilson combat buffs. The blue ones. They're thinner than some others.. If not that, has someone worked on your slide stops for use with some other mag???? Bob

And I thought that you had just come up with a new way of going prone at our last match. I wish I had audio to go with that picture. By the way, can I use that pic on our web site. I'll put it right next to the one with L J's tounge sticking out while he's shooting

A good polymer coated or brass cleaning rod should do the trick.

I certainly hope so. We didn't appoint you as MD for nuttin. Someones gotta take the fall. Does your back hurt tonight after dealing with all those MANUEL LABOR TOOLS (ie post hole diggers)??? Better get your mind right. More fun to come next weekend.

We have been and are currently running 5 stages (COF's) per match and may increase that to 6 come this spring. Our listing should be appearing on the USPSA web site club finder around the 10th of February and we are working on a web site to link off of USPSA and the Roswell Gun Club web sites. Hope to have this up and running soon. Hope to see lots of new shooters this year from all around the area. We also hope to make many matches of other clubs around the state this year. Should have a web site up soon with contact info and directions and info about the range. Bob

Just installed Dawson Competition followers on Wolff springs and have ISMI springs for back-up. All springs including factory STI have to be cut and fit to the followers as per included instructions. very simple to do. Bob

Have been loading for some time(both40sw and 45, 9mm) and I'm just using a small gooseneck lamp to the left of my 550 press that I shine down toward the powder charge station. The base sets to the rear so it leaves good access to set the bullet in on the next case. With the new fail-safe type powder measure, I have found that I would have to be very negligent to throw a double charge. The powder measure bar cannot come back to be recharged until the handle is virtually all the way up and then it snaps back. I do however like to see every powder charge just to know something didn't stick or something and throw a squib load. At any rate it doesn't take that much light to see the charge so just a simple table top gooseneck lamp works great for me. Good luck. Take care. Keep the right side UP!!! Bob

PM sent. Thanks for the info middleman. Liked your idea on Sport/Athletic Club. Take care. Bob

Please post tax links. Am I understanding correctly that if you hold non profit status that you cannot discount fee's to members vs non members???? Am I also understanding correctly that if you hold that status, that you cannot allow non members to use facility as in visiting shooters to a USPSA club shoot.??? Need info on this. Thanks, Bob

Loved it Cheryl. Happy Halloween from the S.E. corner. Take care. Keep the right side UP!!! Bob

+1 Why do they do that???? I love hearing that powder bar snap back. It tells me....I'm not buond up and I'm working right. I like post #5 form the guy that goes by Dillon and says he spends his time looking for a covered parking spot in the Dillon parking lot. Hint.... It's supposed to work that way I think. ?????HMMM???

For those calibers I would use them.. For something I was going to crank out a lot of ammo like for IPSC I would go with Dillon and it's carbide. Love mine. 45acp, 40sw, 9mm, 223rem. Have Rc-s in all those calibers but like the Dillons for mass production. Would use my RC-s for other cal though. But thats just my preference. Bob
