I figured it would be better to provide some data. This is a chart I generated on JBM Ballistics. 124gr Winchester bullet. 1080ft/s muzzle velocity. That gave me half an inch of drift at 20 yards in a 30mph wind. I'd say you'd need to be shooting in a hurricane for it to matter at 20 yards.
The column marked "Windage" is displayed in inches of drift.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThere are lighter, shorter, quieter, and cheaper models available from other manufacturers.

Weight and length will be the most important. Find the lightest suppressor in your budget from a major manufacturer and you'll be set. Pretty much every 7.62 can is metering within a few decibels of each other, but weight is what makes it actually usable.
I've got a Specwar 762 that is still the quietest 30 caliber can, but at 24oz and 9" long it's unpleasant to shoot. Shooting a rifle offhand with it attached is like doing dumbbell raises.

I never could get low-recoil buckshot to run in my M3000. Full house buckshot ran without a hitch and put down plates with a little more authority. I was more confident with the harder hitting shot knocking down plates with a glancing blow, vs having to aim hard with low recoil stuff.
Plates going down and the gun cycling 100% of the time was more beneficial (for me). If I had one low recoil shotshell hang up during a stage, I spent more time clearing it than I saved shooting a whole match of low recoil ammo.
Plus the standard stuff is usually cheaper.

Sanding it wet is the way to go for one set of scales. The dust it lets off is bad news for your lungs.

With low mass parts and the gas block running wide open, I'm guessing your gas block isn't aligned. I've got an almost identical setup and my gas block is only open about 50% and that's a few "clicks" past the point where it locks back on an empty mag so it'll still cycle when it gets dirty.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a trigger that will work for a non-ramped 9mm bolt?

For what it's worth, Jerry Miculek shot 60gr V-max bullets and that's what the Vortex Razor's JM-1 reticle is based off of.

Drop is predictable....wind isn’t. Get whatever shoots best and bucks the wind well. My favorite is the 75 hornady....it might stabilize in 1:9 but the 68s and 69s will work well at distance also.
The 75gr Hornady's are extremely "iffy" in a 1:9. In my experience the Hornady bullets tend to be longer than other manufacturers based on the profile. This is especially true in their AMax line.
I liked the 68/69gr bullets for the velocity bump over 75/77gr. Significantly flatter trajectory and buck the wind pretty well up to 500 yards.

The Hornady 68gr BTHP bullets are pretty cheap and would work fine in a 1:9 twist barrel.
Out past 300 yards the heavier match bullets make it much easier.

Spend the receiver money on lighter components elsewhere if you're trying to save weight.
Optic and barrel are the biggest areas for weight savings.

Sure, form is important but you need to be able to apply progressive stress to get stronger and if you can’t do that because of a limiting factor then you won’t get stronger.
You should absolutely address whatever mobility issues are contributing to pain but simply backing off the weight isn’t necessarily the right answer.
I agree with this. But if there is an issue that is requiring you to use a support like straps or a brace to perform a lift, you would be much better off addressing that issue first.
It's like using a Smith machine for your squats. Sure you can lift more, but the first time you try to lift that same weight on a power rack, you're in for a bad time.

Amino energy or Branch Chain Aminos are good energy sources. Plus they will help preserve your protein so your muscles don’t fatigue as quickly.
BCAA's will help with recovery, but not so much with providing energy over the course of a long day. You'd be better off with some complex carbohydrates.
A small serving of eggs and some toast would be a quick and easy option.

Black Hills loaded with the 69gr or 77gr Tipped Matchking is pretty great for loaded ammo. The blue box version is a good value as well.
TMK allegedly has a slightly higher BC over the SMK. They're a little longer but still work great out of Pmags.

Just used it first time live 3 gun over the weekend and LOVE it. The red dot is perfect and I like the cross hairs. I didn’t have any real distance targets but so far so good
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkHow is the brightness on the red dot in broad daylight?

I've got one and love it. I can pop the slide stop out and swap the uppers in a few seconds. One for 3-gun/suppressor host, and the other for USPSA limited.
Lots of rounds through each top end and both are still very tight.

I have two of these and love them. I need to measure the rear width tonight for you.

I don't have a picture, but the 1911 sight picture is just about identical to the set I have on my G17.

Removing the Series 80 parts alone will be a big improvement.

The Gen 1 has an integral grip screw bushing that makes them unique.

Does anyone have a line on some grip panels that will fit a 1st Generation Caspian Hi-cap frame?

Focus on your stage plan. Take as much time as you need. No one is being inconvenienced by seconds or minutes.
Individually, no. Spread that across a match with 50+ shooters and you've made the entire affair significantly longer than it needs to be.
-
Personally, I can't stand it when people take forever between "make ready" and assuming the start position. After the make ready command is not the time to be practicing your draw and reloads 10 times and closing your eyes and pantomiming the stage including leans and stuff.
If every person takes just 1 minute to get ready, it can add well over an hour to my local match just in watching people stand there and waste time.

Are the buckshot targets special in any way that would necessitate the use of buckshot?
Does wind speed effect target accuracy with a handgun out to 20 yards?

And just for shiggles, if you're ever shooting in a hurricane you'll need to hold about an inch and a half into the wind at 20 yards.
