IF they fail to comply then the squad beats them with bars of soap in tube socks until they pass out then throws them into the range dumpster. Thanks! You've given me reason to try IDPA!

I have 2 that will hold 21 but only one of those will seat with 21. I've only shot one 22 round stage where I thought it gained me an advantage. I've used it on a couple 20 and 21 round stages to have an extra shot available. Makes me nervous though.

A friend of mine borrowed my car to get to work one day. She called me and said she had heard a loud bang on the freeway and thought she blew a tire. Pulled over and checked but didn't see anything. She drove another 7 miles in to work. When I got there I checked around and couldn't see anything wrong. When I popped the hood there was a 4 inch hole in the side of the block. Luckily it was a Corrola with 250k on the clock that I had bought for $500 and not anything special. I do miss the 40 mpg though!

They shoot very well for me. I get sub 8" groups at 100yrds out of my Remington 1100. Recoil is very mild and my local Sportsman Warehouse has them for $3.49 a box.

I use the Arredondo basepads. I've never had an issue getting 20 reloadable right off the bat. Most of mine can take 21 and one can load 22 but they're a cast iron bitch to seat. Load them to 20 and they're all happy.

I met mine at a Barnes and Nobel. I was hanging out in their cafe reading a book and enjoying a cup of coffee. She was studying in the corner and we made eye contact a couple times. I told myself that I'd go introduce myself when she started packing up to leave so I wouldn't interrupt her. Well I got into my book and didn't notice her packing up until she was standing at my table asking if I would mind if she sat down to chat. Any girl with the guts to step up like that really gets my attention!

Power Pistol is a flamethrower and loud! I used to use it loading hot for a .45 and the fireballs were impressive. Especially shooting on an indoor range. Sucked shooting through barrels as well. I still have about half a pound only because I can't bring myself to throw it out. 6.4gr gave me 950fps out of my G35 with a 180gr Montana Gold. Just not a pleasant load to shoot.

If it's a local match, I'm eating the same thing I always do. 5 scrambled eggs with sautéed onions and peppers. I cut back a bit on the coffee as well. If I'm on the road, I will try to get as close to that as possible. As long as I get a good amount of protein and fat in my meal I can reduce the mental fade. Don't make the mistake of loading up on carbs without plenty of protein and fat to hold you through. You'll crash and feel hungry half way through the match.

Depends on how you sleep at night. If you are like the majority of the population and sleep on your side, get a plush mattress with great support. If you sleep on your back, move toward a slightly firmer mattress. Stomach sleepers are the people that should be sleeping on a firm. Stearns & Foster of Sealy are good choices as well as the Tempurpedic mattresses if you like sleeping on memory foam.

That is awesome! Congrats, Luke.

Ironman is pretty much anything goes as far as support equipment.

I'll be there. I have the day off so I may take a book and spend the day.

I voted Larue but if you are ok with re-zeroing every time you switch, the PEPR is fine. I have one and it comes back "close" to zero when I move it around. I also have a Larue and can remove and reattach without a zero shift. I got tired of moving stuff around so I don't worry about reticule differences between my AR and 22 for practice.

5.0 gr of 231 with Montana Gold 165 gr HP was the most boringly consistent and accurate load I've ever used out of my G35. It is a bit harsher than Solo or N320 but it's like parts for a 350 Chevy, you can find it anywhere.

I have a ENN G35 with somewhere north of 30,000 rounds through it. Maybe I'm tempting fate but I'll just keep shooting it for now.
