I've never heard of that. Do you have another M&P that you can swap parts with to try to isolate it?

Oops, I was thinking you could have a comstock standards stage. Thank you!

While it doesn't explicitly state it in the rules, stacking only applies when you have targets that must be addressed in separate strings and when you put extra shots on one target and too few on another. It also does not only apply to Virginia count stages. If the stage description said, "Virginia Count. String 1: From Box A engage T1-T3 with exactly one round each. String 2: From Box B engage T1-T3 with exactly one round each" 1. If you shot 1-2-1 in string one....Extra Shot (extra hits, if there, get called after the shooting is over) 2. if you shot 1-2-0 in string one....Stacking (extra hits, if there, ....) If the stage description said, "Comstock. String 1: From Box A engage T1-T3 with at least two rounds each. String 2: From Box B engage T1-T3 with at least two rounds each" (could be the case when T1 is a difficult shot from Box B and T3 is difficult from Box A) 1. If you shot 4-2-0 in string one that would earn a stacking penalty (with the implication that you did it so you could shoot 0-2-4 on string two). 2. If you shot 4-2-2 in string one and 2-2-2 in string two, no penalty. 3. If you shot 4-2-2 in string one and 0-2-2 in string two, one penalty for not following the WSB.

Thanks, Bret!

I have not used TF but with TT and Arredondo I have found that when it feels as if a spring has caught on something and prevents me from loading more I hold the mag in my right hand with my thumb pressing down firmly on the top round and bang the basepad onto my left hand. Usually a time or two is all it takes to jar it loose and allow me to continue loading. again, not familiar with TF but I also check to see if the base pad is pushed too far forward or backward.

I almost feel guilty for bumping it over the edge into the abyss!

The only time you have to put it back into a decocked state is if you decide to reholster a hot weapon during the course of fire. Stage design must never require that and good stage design should never tempt you to do so but you are allowed as long as it is in the same condition as described in 8.1.2, Edited to add: I went back and found the exact wording of that.

Arredondo won't work with SSS magwell. Not sure if they will work with any magwell.

I prefer to run the extra power striker springs in all of mine. http://www.speedshooterspecialties.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=103_90_116&products_id=1022 Oops, looks like they are out of stock.

I don't think I've been to a match with more than one RM. I thought it was like Highlander...

Please do, as I can't remember what it was:) I searched all of Gary's posts and while he does talk about bathrooms and porta-potties *A LOT* I didn't find any references that were related to DQs.

Negative....you only rule on what you know and, unless you're porta-potty-cam is running, you don't know what happened in there.

Exactly!

If someone asks to see the rules used to make the above decisions: ...and...

I only notice the reset in the gun store.

I don't remember where I read it but it came from an instructor that you should try to use level ground but that you always measure target height from where the target is, not from the intended shooting position. So even if there is a 2 foot rise to where the targets are, if it says 5' at the shoulders it should be 5' at the shoulders where the target is.

It can be.

I disagree!

Thankfully I have never seen one. Are they more likely when covering the ejection port with your hand and slowly racking the slide or when quickly ejecting it up into (hopefully) the air?

I'd be willing to bet you say differently afterwards. It will likely be one of your best weekends of the year. You will learn more than you expected and likely make a few friends during the process.

Welcome back, Bob! Wish I had known about this in the 80s.

As an RO, if someone tells me they think they just had a squib, my response is, "Stop". I would certainly be paying closer attention to them afterwards if it turned out to not be a squib. If I thought they were trying to cheat, on subsequent occurrences I would only stop them if I heard it. I don't think the rule needs to change. Since I have heard this a couple of times recently, as an RO, I will be carrying my squib checker with me from now. As a competitor, if you're worried about it happening, you should carry one, too. I have seen someone check for a squib by locking the slide back, pointing the gun slightly downward, and dropping a small rock into the chamber to see if it fell out the front of the barrel.

Timmy was not actually a plumber. He used that excuse to explain the remnants of an accident he had when the buzzer went off.

I tried that. Now my gun is blond and doesn't get my jokes.
