Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. I messaged Umberto Monday asking about ordering. He replied quickly, I sent him some money, and the PAL filler showed up from Italy this morning. I did a test and loaded a few tubes a couple of minutes ago and so far I'm super impressed. This thing is a tank and loaded so smoothly. I've had a couple of vibraprimes, one not so good and one that works pretty well, but nothing like this. I look forward to further loading with it to really see how it does.
  2. You aren't kidding. I looked around for some new 21 round magazines and they are out at all of the places I usually buy from. My mag setup is using the 21 round magazine body with the Taran +2 and the Grams spring and follower for a reloadable 23 round magazine. I did have a few magazines that wouldn't quite fit the gauge with this combo so I had to take a tiny bit of material off the back of the feed lips but they are all good now.
  3. MikeBurgess beat me to it, but if we use that logic, can the WSB require me to keep the optic off on my Carry Optics gun?
  4. I thought that, but the rulebook specifically calls out in Appendix D that Installed flashlights permitted - Yes, must be functional. Nothing about using additional non-shooting props from my pocket.
  5. I wish there was more, according to the rule book, and a bit less of according to Troy in USPSA.
  6. Can a WSB prohibit a shooter from turning on a mounted flashlight? This game is supposed to be freestyle, and we are allowed to have a flashlight on our guns, and it is required to work. Why shouldn't the shooter be allowed to solve the shooting problem as they deem best, including turning on their light? Can the WSB limit turning on a mounted laser in PCC?
  7. Welcome to the board and USPSA and Steel Challenge. Good time of year to get interested. I went to my first match at the end of October many years ago and had to wait through the winter before I could shoot more matches. SE Michigan has a good shooting community and there are some great clubs you can shoot at and potentially join depending on where in SE Michigan you live. Wayne County Raccoon Hunters https://raccoonhunters.org/ is a good option if you are anywhere near Romulus and is where I am a member and practice at. The Detroit Sportsmen's Congress (DSC) is up in Utica if you are north of Detroit, and there is Livingston Gun Club if you are close to Brighton. There are more clubs in Michigan like Brooklyn Sportsman's Club if you are willing to drive some from SE Michigan. One of the best things about USPSA and these clubs is that you don't have to be a club member or USPSA member to come out and shoot a match or attend a practice, though if you want unfettered access to the range on non match or practice days you will have to join a club. Going to your first match can be pretty intimidating, but don't let that stop you. We were all new at one point. I was absolutely terrible at my first match and got a ton of procedural penalties but had an absolute blast! One way to ease into it is find out which days the club has their USPSA practice and show up for one of those. No pressure there and I'm sure if you tell them you are new someone will help you out. If you have any more questions about clubs or starting USPSA post em up or shoot me a message.
  8. Welcome! My wife and I have talked about swinging by and checking out your Museum with our 9 year old son but haven't gotten a chance yet. Hopefully we will see you soon.
  9. Haven't had it happen either with my Legion or regular x-five and my stable if 17 and 21 round mags.
  10. I figured the same thing at first but after testing different combos, the best configuration for me ended up being the 14lb spring and steel guide rod for the iron sighted gun.
  11. When I first got my Legion I messed around with different springs and a tungsten guide rod. I eventually settled on the stock 14lb spring and steel guide rod while shooting irons. With my carry optics Legion and a Romeo3 Max mounted I am using the stock 12lb spring and a tungsten guide rod. I found the iron sighted setup dipped a bit too much with the tungsten guide rod and 14lb spring, but with the steel guide rod my shots stacked on top of each other. I did recently get some brass basepads from a buddy starting a new business, so when i get a chance I want to try them with the tungsten guide rod and see if it balances out.
  12. I always bring double what I think ill need. You can always leave some in the car so you don't have to lug it around during the match but have it in case of emergencies.
  13. Did you have to fuss with it at all for it to run well? I heard complains when they first came out but haven't been keeping up on it. I load mostly Federal Primers which work ok in my vibra prime but I would like to move to something a bit easier.
