  1. I noted the same this past week when trying to open or load more content.. Took ~ 1min to open this thread. Next will probably be fine.. It's been a little sporadic.. No errors present,. Just finally loads.. I've seen several minutes sometimes.
  2. Would you shoot it as a provisional Division?
  3. Use a spring loaded punch to place a couple diples in each rail of the mainspring housing then re-fit. This should move a small amount of metal around . Should tighten right up and is easily tuned with a file later if needed.
  4. I started shooting in NY last year. A bunch of Leo's there,. All 10 +1. Since I chose to run my 8 round 929 Revo there I'm a deuce low on capacity but really not much of a disadvantage if I chose to compare my scores to production or L10 shooters ( shooting minor the biggest disadvantage to the L10 guys but I try to get by at least a couple of them ?). I find compared to running open or limited in Vermont it makes you break the stages down in a different way.... By the way, the range, matches, and competitors are of the same great quality regardless of the states restrictions!!!
  5. After trying a couple of different grips I settled on smooth Big Butt with the finger groves. I have large hands with long fingers and they felt the most comfortable for me and my hand finds the right position every time. The rubber grips and checkered wood grips stuck to the hand too much when transitioning for a re-load.. I'm new to the Revo game last year but it's what works for me... Oh,. And yes, they are heavy......
  6. Yup,. Ugly. Until it gets cut off!!i

    RTS3?

    Unfortunately missed the sale and now in a position ( gift certs ) to finally ordere an 6moa and mount.. Any idea when you will re-stock?? still showing Out of stock
  8. I'll agree that the MBX followers don't have the refined look you might be used to but they work, well... Not much different than in the MBX mags I run in my 9mm open STI and I think the way they are made actually helps with feeding. I have had 0, yes, 0 feed issues in the 2 -170, 2 -155 and 2 -140 mags I have run since spring.. I had to do no tuning at all, ran right out of the package. I suspect the Caspian offering will be the same..... Yes,. Cheaper would be nice but you gotta pay to play!!!
  9. Welcome to another Vermonter !!!
  10. This thread is another indication of how polarizing this division can be. Being that is a provisional division, I think it is an opportunity for those that are shooting this division at clubs that are being open enough to try to accomadate them, to be the best ambassadors they can be!!! If that means a little extra care in muzzle direction regardless of the rules interpretation, then take the extra time to insure the other competitors are made comfortable. It does nothing but help strengthen the case to keep the division. It is tough for some clubs to accept this division for a bunch of reasons ( not holstered, not a handgun, difficult stage design, pulling competitors from other divisions, etc, etc,etc). So,. As a competitor in this provisional division,. Prove them wrong!!! Show everyone that you are conscientious, safe, non confrontational and there to enjoy and promote the sport / division. i shoot in the same club as Patrick Scott as well as other PCC entrants and I can tell you he was very involved in the discussion to support this division in our club as well as welcome others in to join. Our monthly matches as well as the Vemonster regional match we had this summer had Patrick and others showing that stages can be designed that challenge all divisions, accommodate The PCC shooters and gave the opportunity to show this is a safe division. I have now shot 3 matches with PCC shooters mixed in our squads and at no time was safety a question from any of them.. The other competitors and the R.O.'s have become much more comfortable with this division than we were at the start of the season. And yes, I was originally not a supporter of a Carbine in a "pistol sport". Whether the rules are clear or not, make the other club members comfortable with how you handle the tool you choose to use. It will help in making a provisional division a permanent one.... Rant Off....
  11. Note that there are a pair of new STI DVC's in the classifieds right now at a very good price that would still leave you with enough $$ room to fit the grip you want....
  12. I have a CK Limited gun and a Blackdog open gun. Both are well built but seeing some of the stuff Adam at Atlas Gumworks is turning out I'd place them at the top of the list. It will be at or above the top of your $$ range though..
  13. I'd play in that game even with a 2 round and reload disadvantage. If they really want more wheel guns in the sport adding to CO would be a start.. Don't think my 929 would make weight though LOL!!!!
  14. I think this will be less than acceptable for many members. .. I was on without sign in and at the bottom of page shows who is online and then will show all content for any user you choose.. I personally liked the privacy to forum members only option the old site afforded.
  15. It's unfortunate that the course design left room for the shooter to leave the intended path and shortcut the stage. Since you chose that route, it is obvious that the R.O. Was focused on your foot position as you were getting back behind the charge line.. You kinda forced him to be focused on that instead of your gun or he was just comfortable with your finger being out of the trigger guard as you re- entered.. Whatever the reason, the video shows he was pretty focused on your feet and he must have been pretty comfortable you had a part of your foot touching.. I side with the R.O. Since he had the best vantage point... I will assume you appealed to the MD and they supported the R.O.'s call?? I voted no to video reviews..
  16. Agreed.. Just as long as ammo doesn't need to be placed behind hip bone!!!
  17. My 929 will be set up for Open Minor for use in N.Y. Local matches since the competition is held to 10rnds anyway.. Hey,. Just another way to enjoy a match with friends.. Switch the sights,. Swap out the comp and it's back to Revo division!!!
  18. I know both, both great guys.. With Freedom you can go full custom to your spec or a CK off the shelf from Shooters connection, less cost less personalization. With Adam again, you'll get more than you expect. I own Freedom gun's and have shot an Atlas limited gun. You won't go wrong either way.. Good Luck!
  19. I think that "flatness" will be depedant on load tuning and the recoil spring in use. With the Czechmate you are limited in your bullet profile/length due to what the mag allows.. This will ultimately also restrict the amount of powder that can be used thus affecting the amount of gasses running the comp. With a 2011 platform there is much more that can be done / changed on the gun (comps, springs, grip material, etc). I am switching from CZ to a 2011 only because I just can't get used to the grip angle ( dot acquisition ). The Czechmate is a nice shooting open gun though.
  20. Bullet profile is the big contributor here. Seat a bullet loosely in an uncharged piece of brass and push into the chamber by had. Pull it out and measure it.. Load to just under that, or ream the barrel.. Where are you located? May be cheaper for me to mail you my reamer for you use and you could ship back when done.
