hard work almost always pays off weather you want to be a master shooter or sell something,
Seems like allot of unnecessary work across ancient threads just to be credited with 1 post

My 929 ~6lbs will have trouble setting off a primer or 2 out of 100 with reloads. Winchester factory ammo, I get click or click click every cylinder. Always go off the 2nd time around though!!

JB bore paste for the carbon ring removal/chamber polish, the clean barrel as normal. Nylon brushes best.

It is the work he’s doing for the New aluminum framed M&P which I’m assuming he’ll be using. He’s been shooting an optic mounted M&P for quite awhile.

Be sure bullet not contacting muzzle cap, that was a common issue (remove car and test). Mine shot fair with 147gr .355 but made a huge difference when I switched to 160gr .358. As others have said, this is not unusual with 929’s.

Should strive to set up stages that are challenging for the veterans but still doable for all others who have also paid/helped out to play. A stage with many alternatives will provide as much of a challenge as a 20yd shot covered with no shoots, The clock will weed out the weak…. The addition of PCC and the prevalence of optics seem to have helped to drive difficulty levels up as many forget when your trying to challenge a GM level PCC competitor with a 32rnd 20-30yd stage design you just decimated a D class Production shooter that may never bring his $$/Support back to the range.
FYI, I’m C classified in Prod/Rev/L-10/Lim/CO and currently Open, I’ve been able to complicate even the simplest stages myself

There are a few options out there depending on if you want a closed design which Safariland has a good Option. For an open style holster there are a few choices. I use a Guga Ribus as I like the muzzle retainer option.

We tend to use tape for rainy and winter matches as it sticks much better than plasters in those conditions.

I run .358 160gr / 9mm in my 929 with just a little more crimp than that. With your straight wall case your going to want a bit more I think. If those are Bayou’s I will tell you after having to bust apart 250 rounds (long story) for being a slick coating they stick in the case extremely well!!

Need more (cow) bell.

That will buff out…

My Cheely stainless grip is not coated and had same issue. Have to either have coated or keep it cleaned / oiled…

1 min time penalty per stage for not participating…. No $$ involved and hurts more!!

I just saw this picture of the new Colt 10 shot cylinder, there is no recess for the cartridge rims. That seems really dangerous for rimfire! All my other .22's have a recessed area to protect the rims from being discharged. I'm sure the odds are slim that someone would accidentally hit the cylinder with something hard when it is loaded up and the cylinder is open, but that's how bad stuff happens. What are your thoughts?
Odd / cheap looking for sure. Can think of no good reason, maybe ejector strength? Cost cutting? -
I use one of these collapsible types. Little larger wheels/tires helps to float over rocks and sand and spread the weight. Still a little large folded up but fits your requirement .

In all the pistols you highlight there are so many replacement components that can be easily replaced as they wear out I doubt you would ever see a limit. As it is, if I put that many rounds thru a ~$1k gun before it broke I would consider it $ well spent and move on. Now, on a $6k to $10k gun, I would do all I could to make it last.

Keep in mind some of the match grade ammo offered by Eley, SK, Lapua, etc. is HEAVILY wax coated. I think those noted as pistol or Semi Auto won’t be and will leave your chamber running cleaner. Best to check the Mfg’s website before you buy….

The only thing I can think of is to find every video on the subject by Jerry Miculek.
This!

Typically if that is done by an electrician the white lead will have black tape wrapping it to indicate such. That is how it used to be done, probably not to current codes.

I used CBD oil on my Open Gun once but it kept shooting high...
Buh dum dum!
Thank you and don't forget to tip your waitresses.

Also, when reloading 40, is it common to not have rounds fit inside case gauge because unsupported barrels such as glocks?
I am still doing load development. But, I do it in batches of 10. Sometimes I have 1 or 2 rounds that do not case gauge. Is it because I’m not roll sizing?
And, I was going to set my COAL at 1.124. Is this too short?

If your only dealing with small amount of bulge brass save the roll sizer expense and pick up a Lee bulge buster set & a cheap single stage press.

Seen this done where the round ended up on the brim of the guys cap causing him to knock his cap and muffs off and the round ending up on the ground. Muzzle stayed pointed down range though so there’s that, He ejected to the ground rest of the match.. Maybe he should watch this video….

In most cases I use Kroil. Smell takes some getting used to. It takes off carbon, lead, rust and lubes…
