I find out odd that a rather major rule change come to the BOD from DNROI as a ruling and not as a motion to change the rules brought by one of the area directors. In my head it seems that the DNROIs role should be to implement and clarify the rules and the elected BOD members should be the ones asking for and making changes to the rules. I know that could get a bit grey like the DNROI I think would be correct in asking the BOD to change from 2" to 2 1/8 because that is more of a implementation measure than a major rule change but changing half the divisions to 3 3/8 I think falls more in the new rule arena.

I'm running a G22 in 357 SIG with a Briley titanium comp. The guide rod probably sticks out 1/8 inch but it is enough to do the comp turning. I have shot it with a factory plastic recoil spring assembly and it worked but I'm sure it would get chewed up pretty quickly.

Yes, I have a Wolff steel guide rid made for a G20/21 it sticks out of the slide just enough to hold the comp

one item I keep seeing mentioned is the RO's, I agree that having a bunch of trained RO's is great, but don't kid yourself about them being supplied by USPSA. USPSA charges $40 per student to take the level 1 RO class plus they charge for travel and Per Diem for the instructor. I think that is crazy, if the organizations value is mostly in its rules and RO's then it should not charge its volunteers

When I was playing with my match in 10mm I ran the heaviest spring Wolff had, I think 23lb. The only issue I had was the gun putting the brass into low earth orbit.

I made one of these tonight, and it works great, reloaded 200rd of 38 short colt with zero jams Thank you

I would agree on the bump to open only applying after the start signal.

I don't have mine in front of me to quote but the take away is. Hammer back, safety not on =DQ Hammer back is anything other than all the way down or where a decocker put it. Honestly I don't think it really occurred to people that don't shoot production that you could or would holster without the safety on it's just not something they think about because for most of our history people have shot mostly 19/2011s or GLOCKs so it was either safety all the time or no safety at all.

I can't attest to factory ammo but I know my reloads make plenty of gas.

For CO I asked this question to DNROI, he says it can hang off the back. Some dovetail mounts have the sight slightly overhang the back of the slide

If you have a stage where you advance forward on targets in a line you are going to have a very difficult time blocking them all off. I agree, nothing is impossible, just improbable. If the targets are not parallel with the 180 you are very likely going to have them visible from some angle past 180 (unless EVERY target is behind a wall). Remember, No shoots are not walls - you can shoot over and under them. A simple solution to that problem is a small piece of corrugated plastic or cardboard about 18" wide and 3-4' tall stapled to another set of target sticks, instant small easily portable wall. You could also just stapled it to the side of the target sticks on the target that needs hidden.

First, I cant think of a stage design where with some amount of effort one could not block every target from beyond the 180 As for missing a target view, it will and does happen. but 11.1.2 says shooters must challenge the stage prior to shooting it and unless the stage really really needs to be tossed the competitors are unlikely to do that. so it is up to the MD and RM to do their best to comply with the rules as they build and vet the stages.

I think 2.1.4 was written with one thing in mind but as it was written covers 2 separate but related issues. I think the original idea was to avoid issues like bullets going over the berm due to a high target, off the side of a range without side berms, etc.. This really comes into to play with indoor ranges, you cant tell the competitors dot shoot the walls and then place targets where shooting them when visible could result in them hitting the wall. The other related issue is the 180 while shooting a target at 185 deg may or may not in actuality place anyone in danger, we have decided that anything beyond it is a safety violation, I think this unintended? coverage within its wording is a good thing, and something I do my best to comply with at every level of match I am involved with.

I hear lots of bitching about how that rule could not mean you have to make targets not visible beyond the 180 because it is so impractical to set stages that way and you would hand to dumb them down to accomplish it. What I find funny about that is unless I missed one it's been years since we had a non compliant stage at my club and nobody complains about the stages

Something I never worried about till quite recently, it would be much harder to charge a short colt case than a special

I get 26 in my GLOCK 22rd with TF extension. I can only get 25 40s in the same mag. Something about the shape of the Sigs let's them stack a bit better.

Yes

I was reloading on a new press and I assume double charged a case while dealing with a jamb. 4.5 gains of tight group with a MG 142 is fine, 9 ish is not.

I called Smith this morning, they said they had non to sell but probably had one they could install if I sent the gun in, that may be an option, but I'd rather not send the gun off if I don't have too.

Does anyone know where to find a 627 .357 cylinder? I had a little reloading issue and seam to have bulged mine a little.so looking to find a replacement without sending the whole gun to Smith. Thanks,

Not to be argumentative but do you have a reference? I've checked the USPSA website for NROI updates and I can't find anything but there is always the possibility that I've overlooked something. You are correct. I asked Troy the question a while ago and he said he was going to publish the ruling, apparently it hasn't happened yet. So I amend my answer to it will once again be legal to use a aftermarket mag release when the ruling is finally published.

You mean shooting L10 minor and comparing your scores to the production scores right

I believe a recently released ruling from the DNROI makes aftermarket mag released legal if they only extend the length and have the factory profile (no big head)

I've done it, and it's no big deal, because you are seating to a overall length there is no difference in case capacity for the powder so pressures are the same as your regular loads, the only issue is weather your extractor will hold the case good enough to fire it.

Since in IDPA you could only load 6 cartridges and be forced to index the cylinder every time plus you would have to run 155 power factor due to the moon clips, I guarantee the 105 power factor speedloader guns would leave you in the dust. Just curious, don't shoot IDPA, how is the "reload with retention" or "reload when empty" work out with an 8 shot gun in a 6 shot restriction?You only ever put 6 rounds in the gun, so an empty reload is dumped on the ground like the autos, a reload with retention means you have to put any live ones in your pocket.
