I have never experienced something like this again . And you are correct u always have the shooter unload and show clear and holster . To call range is clear . Before u start on why u stopped the shooter .

The second the ro yelled stop he began arguing the 180 break . The RO followed the commands . And repeated the unload command . There was no discussion .You weren't there . The RO handle it fine . Also I can't say I ever experienced anything close to this since . And I ROed some matches .

Did the range have any rules requiring eye and earprotection? Most do but that does not mean people will follow those rules . I tell them a story of someone who was a bystander at a shotgun match who got hit in the face with a clay bird target . They had go to the emergency room to remove the clay bird shrapnel. I tried to warn the individual to always ware glasses,but it didn't take .

A shooter arguing a 180 DQ with an RO with a loaded gun in his hand .

I would not have DQed him . USPSA we shoot freestyle.

I seen the tap bit used did not damage the chamber or the barrel . The first time I experienced this problem I used a 40 cal bore brush to remove the brass it came out fine . The second time the next round jammed around the brass piece and I was able to eject both . Found the eject round and brass ring after I finished the stage . That was when I decided to remove alk the step down brass when I reload .

Use a tap bit . Insert buy hand slowly and u can pull the stuck brass piece out . Go to a hardware store with a spent piece of brass to see what size tap bot u need to buy and go from there. I learned this trick from a shooter at one of my club matches.Also keep a look out on step down brass in the future.

That is not stainless it is chromed. It is a nice gun .

I have dealt with H&M they do great work . I would not worry .

Score the stage as is . If he stops he stops. Do we give a reshoot if he gets a brass down his shirt? No . And I have seen that happen . After we stopped laughing he was scored as is .

Also know by FTC Friedheim tool . Does anyone have experience with this cleaning system. Is it worth the money ? Does the machine last ?

Yes I would prefer a printed rule book .

Thank you . My friends will enjoy .

Please where can I buy these jelly beans. Funny story .

I learned not to use a mag after It hit the ground, even if it just fell out of my mag pouch. And I also learned not to put my mags back in my mag pouch after a run. I take them back to my bag to check and reload . There is nothing like pulling an empty mag or a partial full mag out of your mag pouch in the middle of a stage .
