    Everyone will have their own experience, but I bought an Eagle in April this year and have 5000 rounds through it without breaking anything. I bought a Trubor a couple of months ago and have run almost three thousand rounds of major 9mm without a part failure. I don't know what they are made of, but they work for me.

    YMMV

    Belt for USPSA

    The only insight I have is that I have been using a CR Speed setup from Max's choice and have no complaints. I liked that he puts it all together in a kit and discounts it. The belt, holster, and mag pouches all seem to work great. The velcro seems to be holding up fine.

    Tactical Sequence COF?

    If it is not a limited stage, you can make up the shot on the way back. After all targets have been engaged, they can be shot in any order. Get your hits, in the stage you describe a miss is a huge percentage of overall time. Get the hits!!!

    With that said...I can miss really fast! :roflol:

    Who else makes 2011 frames?

    My new Trubor even ran factory ammo out of the box. My eagle runs, even when I neglect it and feed it poorly.

    I work in an industry where everyone copies each others designs and I personally don't approve of it. If you want to do it...Do it better. Design your own system that is better than the previous one.

    Inexperienced Shooters

    in Miscellaneous Topics That Do Not Fit in Any Other Forum

    I have become increasingly irritated when I travel out-of-state for a major match only to find SO's or RO's that have no business running a shooter. I've also noticed that I get the most irritated with lower level shooters.

    What do you guys think? Have you experienced the same frustration? Is there anything we can do about it?

    I have no problem with inexperience at local level matches, but seeing this stuff go on at a big match really pisses me off.

    It is a valid point, based on the timing of the question I'll use IDPA classifications. I personally think people should be a upper SS level shooter as a minimum, with at least one season of SO experience. I know from my own experience that the first sanctioned match I worked I might have been on the edge. I was supposed to be paired with a more experienced SO but it didn't happen. I did the best I could and learned some lessons hopefully not at the expense of the shooters.

    There is often not enough help to put on a match without the enthusiasm of the newer shooters. I understand it can cause problems, but it is better than not holding a match.

    My new 9mm TRU BOR

    in Open Pistols

    Posted

    I received my new 9mm TRU BOR from Thunder Mountain today. Fresh out of the box, it ran everything from WWB to 1500fps loads without a hiccup. The best surprise was the spare mags I bought from them. They were polished at no extra charge and looked great and ran perfect.

    The load I am using now is:

    124 gr Montana Gold CMJ

    Winchester small rifle primers

    7.3 gr True Blue

    1.65 oal

    mixed brass

    This gave me 1375 fps and seems to be a good starting place.

    Thanks Mike for taking care of me on this purchase.
