How about an OTG flashdrive.
Sam's club had a regular USB 3.0 16G drive plus a OTG 3.0 drive for $10
It works great with an Android tablet.
Similar to what I had in mind with adapter. Just not sure if the native locked-down OS will support OTG.

I can buy nearly 3 of the new Amazon Fire tablets for the price of one Glow Light and I don't need to worry about rooting it.
That's true, but there are advantages to the Nook that have been discussed in other threads. Don't really want to rehash that here - just looking for info on making the new option work.

I haven't even looked at it... But if it running the right version of android... Use an MDM and install the software.
Haven't worked with an MDM before. You have a favorite that you think might do the job? Preferably free
-
Looks like these would be great for scoring - waterproof and dust proof with a capacitive screen instead of IR. Unfortunately, B&N once again left out the SD card slot, so rooting is not user-friendly. Would be great if someone could do an equivalent of Root n Scote It for this one. Any chance it might be possible to boot from an SD card using an adapter for the microUSB port?

We started using PS this season for weekly matches. While we are absolutely thrilled with how well it works, I am noticing a few issues with each match. Relevant to this discussion is the fact that DQ'd shooters were not indicated as such when the match was imported to EZWS. The strange part was that when I DQ'd them in EZWS, one of them disappeared from the results entirely - the total number of competitors listed in the results was reduced by 1. I had to un-DQ the shooter and re-DQ, then all was well. Maybe this is more of an EZWS issue, but I figured I should share.

Yes - he meant PractiScore
I'm the guy that set it all up, and I can't believe how smoothly it went. I expected to have a ton of issues and honestly didn't think I'd get to shoot much of the match. I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. The Nooks worked beautifully and the software performed exactly as advertised. Such an experience with new technology is rare. A HUGE thanks to the PractiScore guys - very well done!

The Tripp mags have been perfect in my DW PM7-40.

The price of the LNL made it a no-brainer over the 550 and 650 when I was shopping. I loaded thousands without a case feeder with no real issues and have now loaded a few thousand with the case feeder. I've also had fantastic luck with Hornady's customer service. They've provided parts at no cost on two occasions when I was fully prepared to pay, and I know others who have had the same experience.
I would highly recommend getting your hands on each of the presses you're interested in and giving them a test drive.

The Kimber mags work perfectly in mine. If you have a S&A magwell, you'll have to do a little file work on the basepads, but nothing major. They're also very light, so getting them to drop free can be a little tough...but the price is right relative to other .22 conversion mags.
-
That definitely doesn't sound right. I've never had to use that much force.
As for the die, I've had great luck with the Lee resizing die and the FCD. I'm told that the Lee sizes further down the case wall than other manufacturers, though it's the only die I've used so I can't speak to that from experience. I can tell you that I no longer chamber check 9mm and have had zero issues in thousands of rounds. Take that for what it's worth.
-
I've also shot around 10k with no issue and use them interchangeably with CCI

You can also use the "Print Screen" key to capture an image of the score sheet to the clipboard, then paste it into Word/Powerpoint/Windows-Program-of-Choice. Screen capture software like HyperSnap works great, also.

+1 to Elizabeth's comment, according to my HS Latin teacher as well...though I only made it through 2 years
-
Does it matter how a competitor registers? As far as EZWS is concerned, classifications are provided in a file from USPSA that is updated monthly. Is it acceptable for the scorer to override the file with the "registered" class?
-
I've had good luck with my wife's Kimber Target II 9mm...
-
The Skagen line might be worth a look...don't know if they do canvas or nylon bands, but they are extremely thin.
-
I'm not a Kimber fan in general, but my wife's 9mm Target II has run like a top with everything I've fed it. The only issue was with Wilson ETM mags hitting (and eventually snapping) the ejector, but otherwise I've been pleasantly surprised...

There were probably a number of reasons for experimenting with random squading, but that's not really the point here. The point is that this "KID" (as Fullauto so elegantly put it) volunteered to be the MD on the night of the experiment. He could have easily volunteered for a different night, knowing full well that whoever was MD on that particular night was going to take a lot of crap. It doesn't matter whether the experiment was a success or a failure, what matters is that a 16-year-old had the guts to be a part of it. It's also worth mentioning here that this "KID" was the first among many "MEN" to step up and volunteer to fill the MD role.
-
He did a fantastic job! As far as I'm concerned, if he's willing to step up and take a turn as MD, he can squad us however he wants. Well done and hopefully he'll be an example to others to step up.
-
You mentioned that this happens with factory and reloads...do the factory rounds seat fully into the chamber?
-
This happened to a guy at one of our larger local matches last year with WWB. The MD let it slide in this case, but it seems to bring up a larger question. A lot of us reload and are conscious of PF, but what about the guys that don't? We tell them to bring what they have and shoot, but then are we supposed to turn them away if the factory ammo they happened to pick up for that match doesn't make PF? Are we supposed to say "Sorry...I know you paid your money and shot a great match, but rules are rules"? Granted, there are places like Atlanta Arms where you can be sure of what you're getting, but most of these guys are picking up the cheapest stuff they can find (and I don't blame them). Not sure there's a good way to address this, but maybe it should be looked at? It seems unreasonable to expect someone shooting factory ammo to track down a chronograph just to make sure. Just my 2 cents...
-
When I bought my LNL for reloading 9mm, everyone told me that a U die was a must have. I picked one up used, but already had the standard Lee sizing die in place, so I stuck the U die in a drawer...It's still sitting there. With the Lee sizing and FCD dies I have never had a round fail a chamber check.
-
Let us know how they work for you...

Hello: The best mags for 9mm loaded long that I have found are the Tripp's or the Metalforms. The Tripp mags for 38 work great for long 9mm and are easier to keep clean.Thanks, Eric

Just saw that. I haven't worked with ADB, but there's a first time for everything.
