Did you do this? https://holosun.com/support/customer-service/shipping-returns.html I think I just filled out the form and got an RMA. I've sent a few back.

Like they said above, call them. A lot of times if you send them your slide and specify the height they put in a front sight for you. They probably have something similar anyway, they just haven't bothered to figure out the specs yet.

Wouldn't mind a little more oomph to the mag springs. Do I lose a round of capacity? I use a maglula and am running the 24 round 9mm 140's.

A little short notice, and the weather in the great white north looks like it isn't going to be real agreeable to practice in the near future. Thanks Infinity for putting out something fun for shooters. Will look for it next year, if you can put it on again.

I think the two options for 40 1911's are BUL armory or get on the waiting list at CZ custom. I used to shoot limited and wound up getting a 40 to run back then. I recently bought a BUL so I'd have a back up. 45's are way easier to get, way less likely to have problems. If you don't have a really compelling reason to use 40, I'd get a 45.

I think they have changed names a few times. I've bought from them here and there since they were "Monmouth Brass".

I wonder why the limited guys finish higher than the L10 guys in overall results?

The other issue is that a lot of the stages end up being the same number of reloads regardless. If you had a bunch of 10 round stages and 40 round stages and nothing else you'd have an advantage with minor. 12-17 round stages, 1 reload either way. 22-25 round stage 2 reloads either way. 31-33 3 reloads either way. What's the round count on most courses you see? It's possible minor would save you a standing reload somewhere due to misses or course design. That might make you on 3-4 course local match, but on a 10-18 stage major it won't make up for all the charlies you shoot every single stage. If you are the guy that occasionally misses steel, you are probably also the guy that drops a D here and there too. I shoot SS minor sometimes because it's cheaper and I think it's fun, but it's no way to win.

I don't think 99% of shooters appreciate how fragile the sport really is. If the match director at our club quit, our weekly matches would die. I help as much as I can but realistically that is going to be 2 maybe 3 times a month next summer, and there is nothing I can do about it for a long time. A few others help regularly, but none of them would run the club. Top guys don't care, they can just practice and shoot majors. Eventually you'd lose the future of the sport though, no one is going to start out shooting level 3's and nationals.

Think about ways to increase efficiency of your set up and spend money to do it if you can. Have the equipment you need. I am fine helping set up stages, I am not fine walking around a range for half an hour to find staples. Have a box per bay that has a stapler, pliers, measuring tape whatever you need in it. If you use stakes, have a bucket of stakes and a hammer for every bay. Try and be organized so if a guy that only shoots once in a while shows up he can find things and help. There are threads where people have built specialized trailers and all kinds of stuff on this forum. If you pound a lot of stakes get a rotary driver, there is a thread about that. Like mentioned before steal stages from anywhere you can. When you build them don't go crazy trying to set them up perfectly like the picture. Set up a stage without shoot throughs, no shots over the berm, and as safe as you can. Don't spend half an hour debating whether it'd be better if you did something slightly different. You can set it up again 3 weeks later with a subtle change if you want, then you can even see how your slight changes effect how stages are shot. If you are setting up, feel free to set up what you are working on. Add on long shots or hard leans or whatever you are focusing on. It gives you a purpose for setting up the stage. If that annoys other shooters, they can come and set up what they want next week.

Found a 22/45. Going to just start with irons. Probably switch the front sight to a fiber. The 22/45 lightweight has a better rear sight than my old Mk2 target. Has a safety that is decent. I really like it, plan on keeping it after he's done. Might move my Mk2 down the road...

Anyone see the Glock 44 used for this? Think the Ruger is a better choice?

Would like to start bring my 10 year old to matches... Put this in the Ruger forum because I am currently thinking this: Any other recommendations? Doesn't have to be ruger. Does have to be rimfire, and hopefully $3-500 price point. Holster, support equipment availability would be nice... Anyone know of mag pouch and holsters for the ruger? This pick was mainly because I debated buying this anyway and getting a suppressor...

We could avoid all the flashlight nonsense and just allow night vision goggles. I am sure there are a ton of special operations folks just dying to shoot USPSA but they won't without being able to use their night vision gear...

I posted this is another discussion on the same subject: "Welcome to the 2022 Surefire Production Nationals with 6 low light stages..."

I am sure SJC will make one.

If the "thumbrest" happens to activate the LED I don't know why it couldn't be bolted on.

I did the life and don't regret it. Not sure if the fee structure has changed but at the time it $40/yr and $500 for the life. They had some kind of installment plan and I think I paid $125/year for 4 years. I don't have to deal with remembering to renew and I think I did it young enough that I will save money in the end. Dues could also increase, and I am done paying them forever. I have some lifetime hunting licenses too. I figure as I get older eventually my income will do down and I'll be happy to not pay all kinds of fees every year. It's actually kept me from shooting IDPA because the thought of dealing with dues when I have USPSA all paid for bugs me.

I figured it out. It was really just a newbie issue. On assembly Dillon did not tighten up the mechanism that moves the primer slide and it slid up the primer magazine tube. Not sure why the ratchet stopped working, but I disabled it to trouble shoot. I'd like to actually use it...

New to the 1050, loaded a few hundred rounds. Think something jammed up in the priming and like an idiot forced the handle up...Now, emptied the primer tube and all the cases out of the feeder. Can pull the handle down, will feed a case. If I hold the tab down that unlocks the ratcheting I can pull the handle up and down no problem and the shell plate advances. The slide that feeds the primers isn't moving though.

I would not be surprised if STI could tell USPSA what should be legal in SS, especially if they are sponsoring SS nationals now. I guess once people start making aftermarket steel grips to replace STI's plastic grips we'll have come full circle anyway...

STI has produced single stack grip modules in the past and these guns were not deemed legal for single stack division in USPSA. I guess it depends how you define "basis in the original 1911". Maybe they have something cooking with USPSA. " Only 1911 production type pistols. Must be available to the general public and have their basis in the original 1911 service pistol as designed by John M. Browning. Pistols made from components that duplicate the factory originals are acceptable. Frames must be metal.

Thanks! Was wondering why they even bothered with a different press...

Does it matter for loading longish 40 cal?

I did, it was surface A in the diagram. If you compare your aftermarket sear to the stock one you may get a feel for what surfaces are the most different.
