Wow!

I learned the hard way that you don't stop yourself unless it is a safety issue. *You* may think you hit the plate, but if the RO doesn't, you may not get a reshoot and stand to have your stage scored "as shot" when you stop.

Similar to what Flatlander said... I have not seen the level of safety practiced...no, demanded, in any situations other than competitive shooting. If you could get more of them involved in something like USPSA, I can only believe that the safety they exhibit themselves and then demand from others will be better.

Flourescent lights bother mine.

It's an even farther drive, but we're doing the IDPA Classifier at Pinetucky near Augusta, GA Sunday.

I mic the width of the case near the middle of where the bullet has been pressed into the case. I then mic it right at the case mouth and try for 1 or 2 thousandths less. On the .357 SIG I load (using both .357 Sig and .40 S&W brass resized) I crimp a lot more!

The load data I have seen suggests that 2.250 is the correct OAL. I have found that if I go much over 2.260 then the bullets hang in some mags. To get the cannelure where I can still see a little bit of it above the case mouth (I use MG 55gr FMJ-BT) I have had to trim a little below the recommended 1.750. I trim at 1.745.

I'm not sure where the county ends, but have you shot up at Oceanside? http://oceansidepistol.com/ When I was out west I went to a couple matches there and the people were great.

As long as it's not a scratch-n-sniff shirt....

Welcome! So where are ya?

Thanks for the Brownell's suggestion. It looks like they have 2, but they are both .200" tall on the front and the current one started off as .185" if I remember correctly.

This is a completely uneducated guess, so you get what you pay for, but... The center as far as the length would be with the holes drilled centered at the 27" mark. If it is to pivot somewhere along the vertical surface such that the same amount of material is above the pivot point as is below the pivot point, I believe it comes down to a fairly simple geometry problem. In the above, all of the measurements are in 16ths of an inch, so the overall width is 32/16", the overal height is 32/16", and the thickness of the material is 5/16". The equation for the area of the material above the pivot point is: 32*(5-x) or 160-32x The equation for the area of the material below the pivot point is: (5*27)+(32*x) or 135+32x If those are equal: 160-32x = 135+32x Adding 32x-135 to each side yields: 25 = 64x So, x=.390625 16ths of an inch, or .0244140625" That means that the pivot point in the above drawing would be 5/16 - .0244 or .3125 - .0244 or .28880859375" from the top. Of course, I didn't even drive by a Holiday Inn Express last night so please feel free to correct any mistakes you find.

Very cool! He looks like a powerlifter. I'll head up, now, to see if I can correct the paperwork before it gets submitted....

LOL! Too late for me to take the shots and send it to them. I had light strikes with a Millenium Pro that I had. I loved that little gun but got nervous about the light strikes and traded it back in to the store. I told them about it and they said they would handle returning it.

Please tell him thank you for me!

I've got a 24/7 that I picked up so my Dad could shoot it. The only problem is that it was hitting waay low. By the time I had filed enough off of the front sight to make it hit close to point of aim, the front sight is now too short for my liking. I had planned on filing the front sight until I got the right height and then ordering that but now I can't find sights for the thing. I really would like a taller rear sight (preferably adjustable) and a normal sized front. Any suggestions?

New shooters at our local matches usually shoot limited so they can load up and not have to worry with as many mag changes.

Cool...thank you! Makes perfect sense in line with the rest of the rules. Mods...please feel free to close since answered.

Sadly, I missed the math question. ...and I used to think I are smart.

Limitting Production to 10 allows a larger field of guns to be competitive. Many only have 10 ro 12 round capacity and would no longer be competitive in a 15 round mag division. Yes, I have 19 and 22 rounds mags for my M&Ps, but I'd rather shoot them with 10 rounds in Production so I *could* shoot an old S&W 2nd gen if I wanted to.

My search came up empty. In the IDPA Rule Book, there is the following definition:

You can shrink what is shown on the left somewhat by turning off the display of the poster's avatar, though then you'd never see Flexmonkey posing in front of the fiery sphincter.

It's also a bit of a drive, but next weekend (2-13), Mid Carolina Rifle Club near Columbia, SC is having an all-classifier match. http://www.lchico5u.com/map.html

Why 5? Most people grab 3 or 4 at a time, hence the use of either a 6 round or 4 round caddy. If you can grab 5 at a time, you're big enough to not *need* a shotgun.

I knew I had to point him here after he exhausted my well of knowledge by asking, "Which end does the Bang come out of?"
