+1 for the Wranglers, but I wear the non-ripstop ones. They have what they call a "tech-pocket" on the left thigh cargo pocket that is perfect for either a pistol or AR mag. The older ones used to have the pocket on both thighs instead of just the left one. Around here they run about $20. They are roomy enough for me to wear both my knee braces and knee pads under them and still have full movement.I have found Wrangler Ripstop Cargo Pants from Walmart to be a better fit and cheaper that all the fancy pants I've tried. They sell here for about $22 and the fit is loose enough to actually access the left side hip or side pocket with a retained magazine without a major delay.
They are perfect for summer but too thin for cold weather.

I have worn gloves on several occasions, and have found that a pair of Easton batting gloves with their vibration reduction system work the best for me. Great grip for all firearms, tight enough to manipulate all controls/reloads and even help keep my hands warm on cold days.

I use a pair of Caldwell low profile electronic muffs. They work pretty good, run on 2AA batteries and run less than $40 in most places. The current ones even come with a jack to plug your mp3 player as well.

Just a question for the mods. Why is this not pinned? Just curious.

I'm a fan of Justified on FX, Arrow on CW, and of course The Walking Dead on AMC. I have a friend who lives near Atlanta and knows people who are on The Walking Dead.

I prefer Wrangler cargo pants. They have what they call a tech pocket on the left cargo pocket that is perfect for either a pistol or AR mag. And since it is behind the point of the hip you can use it to hold your mag at the end of the stage if you shoot production or single stack.

There is a reason that I wear muffs. It is because there is a nerve that runs along your skull just behind the ear that can be damaged by loud noise and cause nerve deafness. Wearing muffs covers this nerve area and helps prevent this. Plugs don't protect you from the nerve damage which is one reason my several shooters, even though they wear plugs still have some kind of hearing loss. Just my .02

Contact Blade-Tech and let them know what you have and they can make any of their line to fit it.

I requested a new RO at a local match one time because while he was running the timer for me during a stage he was so close to my 6 that when I took a half step back I stepped on him. And he also didn't know the range commands. Just went to the guy in charge and said "I don't want him to run me on any more stages. He doesn't know what he's doing." That was the end of it.

I have a 35 set up for limited/L10, but no pics atm. Here is my setup. Pretty much bone stock with some "minor" upgrades.
Dawson f/o front sight with adjustable target rear. Competition extended mag release. Dawson Ice magwell and Dawson mag extensions. The only internal work I have had done on it is I added a NY1 trigger spring with the (-)connector which give me a faster/firmer reset and the trigger pull of around 5-6#.
Will try to post pics asap.

+1 on the Ballistic M-Frames. The only problem that I have had is trying to find replacement lens for them. Every place I have tried is always back ordered. But I have seen a solution from an active duty guy who had a pair and that was to take the center anchor pin off the frame and just use the standard M-Frame lens.
And for the record I have been wearing Oakley sunglasses in one form or another for more than 25 years, so I guess you could say I'm a little biased for them.

If you are ordering directly from Blade-Tech just tell them what size front site you have and the will make one for you. I had to do that for both my G22 and G35. It just takes a little more time because they don't keep them "in stock" but have the molds for the higher than stock sites.
Hope this helps.

Does anyone know if/when the barrels will be available for purchase? I already have a 930 and would like to have that barrel instead of the 18.5" barrel that I already have.
Thanks

Reminds me of something I read from the Viet Nam era about the beer they would give on R&R.
2 Beers per person
24 Men on R&R
47 Cases of Beer required.
Gotta love GRUNT math too.

I have that setup on my G35. When I ordered the holster directly from Blade-tech I told them about the front sight. They had to do a "special" because they don't carry that one usually. Just let them know and they can take care of you.

For those that are interested, Season 2 is supposed to come out on DVD January 16, the day before Season 3 starts.

No you are not meeting the requirements for you division. Declared division in this case is Single Stack Major. Division requirements state no more than 8 rounds in the magazine after the start signal. Welcome to Open IMHO.
-
For those with tall front sights ordering from Bladetech, just tell them when you order your holster directly from them that you have a front sight from whatever manufacturer and it is X tall. For most of the major manufacturers they already have the molds done. Yes it is a "special" but it doesn't take any longer to get them made then getting a "stock" holster. That is what I have done for each of my DOH holsters and I got them within a couple of weeks.

Yes Raylan did drink from the same jar of shine. But as Maggs said both times she used the poison, "It was in the glass the whole time." Justified is a great show. I even have the theme song as my main ringtone on my cell phone.

Here is how I learned to "move" while shooting. Believe it or not it was marching band. In it they teach you move your lower body while keeping your upper body stiff. If possible, I suggest that you go to the local high school band director and ask if they will teach you how to march. Just a suggestion.

The 22 round factory Glock mags are about an inch too long to use for limited. You could possibly use them for outlaw matches but not for USPSA.

I think it should have been Jay instead of Kyle in the elimination challenge. Ashley manned up and said "I missed. I should go." Why didn't Jay do the same? Does anyone else feel the same?

For anyone who is interested, there is a pistol and shotgun match in Deming, NM on Sunday. Contact me if you would like more information.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it say for production that unless a modification is expressly allowed it is forbidden?
