Mine rusts easily enough with the coating, I would hesitate to leave it bare without some sort of coating.
-
So...does the new website have something for this?
-
Rather than the non-scoring edges touching if they instead aligned the perforations completely then whatever portion of the bullet that was not stopped by the target on the left would have been stopped by the target on the right and the underlying target would not be accessible.
-
While it may be possible to drill out the hole into which the spring sits, I just went with the newer sear housings that already had a larger spring and plunger: http://www.speedshooterspecialties.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=103_90_115&products_id=939 I have also had light primer strikes in several of my M&Ps so I run the extra power striker springs in all of them: http://www.speedshooterspecialties.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=951 That extra power striker spring will result in a harder trigger pull with the stock sear but I don't notice any when I use the Apex Sear: https://store.apextactical.com/WebDirect/Products/Details/191852 I also run their Ultimate Striker Blocks in all of mine. They do have a package deal where they will install the sear, upgrade the housing if it is the older one with the smaller spring, and the USB.
-
Some of the older ones had smaller diameter, weaker sear return springs that could lead to the gun not recocking the striker after it was fired. Unfortunately the only way I know of to tell is to remove the sear housing and then remove the sear from the housing to look under it.
-
If it did not penetrate the barrel I would not consider that a full diameter hit on the barrel and would then score whatever it hit next. If it went on to go through a shoot target, was entirely within the scoring zone, and left evidence if a bullet hit (grease ring or arc of bullet), I would score the hit on the shoot target but not on the noshoot behind it. If it did not hit the shoot target (or did and touched the outer perf), I would score the hit on the noshoot behind it. I would also score a hit from a bullet bounced off the ground if there was clear evidence of the bullet going through a target afterward.

People were likely confused with the rule in USPSA:
-
I don't understand why so many people are against Limited-10. Yes, USPSA matches must honor the restrictions of the states in which they are hosted, but.... getting rid of L10 would mean that those people restrained by their states to only own limited capacity magazines could not compete outside of their state. Why go to the nationals to shoot limited if all you have and are allowed to own at home are 10 round mags? I live in SC but mostly shoot in GA. Thankfully neither of those states have mag capacity restrictions but I imagine that there are a lot of people in restrictive states that like to travel to shoot in other states.

The habitual non-resetter - procedural or DQ?
High Lord Gomer replied to robbiec's topic in USPSA/IPSC Rules
It's a volunteer sport. If you want to help, the match fee is X. If not, the match fee is X+$75. and you can give $5 back to each other person on the squad. Being old and broken myself I can understand those that can't and I am happy that they were able to just make it out and shoot. I try to run them through first and let them get home, especially in these 100 degree days. Those that are capable and lazy...I have no patience for them. -
To avoid those situations at our monthly matches part of our standard stage briefing is, "Barrels are soft cover but bullets must leave recognizable arc to score."
-
I don't have any experience with the Dawson adjustable sights but I believe they require a taller front sight so you'll need to do both at the same time.

Practiscore, Fixed Time Classifier, and NPMs
High Lord Gomer replied to High Lord Gomer's topic in Match Scoring
I guess the number of strings really doesn't matter since you don't record string times in a Fixed Time stage. -
Practiscore, Fixed Time Classifier, and NPMs
High Lord Gomer replied to High Lord Gomer's topic in Match Scoring
Oops, you're right. We shot 09-09 but the same should hold true for that one. If you add the classifier without editing the paper targets, it won't let you score correctly. (Android v1.2.26) Originally I had planned to shoot both 09-01 and 09-09 using the same setup but shooting a classifier with three strings is a huge bottleneck and a real bummer for those who can't reload in time or get their shots off quickly enough. -
If the aliens return them at a time prior to the abduction can the shooter reshoot the stages they haven't really shot yet?
-
We shot 09-01 yesterday. I added the classifier stage and it correctly set it up as Fixed Time with 6 required hits per target. Almost everyone had some No Penalty Mikes but it wouldn't let us enter any NPMs and would not let us Review the score until the all 18 "hits" we recorded. We ended up backing out and saving what we had without going through the Review step. Today I finally figured out that if I edited the stage and went into the screen to Edit the targets I didn't have to change anything but it correctly changed the stage so that I could now enter NPMs.

I put a 9mm conversion barrel in my 40 Pro and it shoots several inches low at 15 yards. If I put a Dawson adjustable rear sight on it (with appropriate matching front sight), will there be enough range of adjustment for me to swap between 9 & 40?

What hand load works best in your M&P 9? or 9L?
High Lord Gomer replied to DOCOHM's topic in S&W (M&P, etc)
Very happy with many thousands of Montana Gold 115 JHP loaded at 1.090 OAL with 4-5gr of Titegroup. Easily makes 130+ PF in both the 4.25 and 5". -
Pinetucky 3-Gun 2015

LOL...if it had been my video it would have been a lot longer! -
My Shield has a recessed dimple that the set screw on the rear sight goes into...meaning all windage adjustments really need to be done with the front sight. I don't recall seeing that on any of my full size and pro M&Ps but I had always just centered the rear and used the front for adjustment. All of mine were dead on out of the box (until I swapped out the sights).
