Here you go.

I emailed Troy and he said it's production legal.

Without getting into excruciating detail... just call the FFL before you ship to make sure he'll do the transfer, then you're covered. It's on the FFL to worry about "compliance." Any MA resident with a Class A license to carry can lawfully own the gun, period. Hi cap mags made before some date in 1994 are unlawful to possess by in MA.

The procedure is as follows: 1. Take his money. 2. Ship to his FFL. Open with hi-cap STI mags is very popular here in MA.

Ibejiheads and S&S 147's with N320 run great in my G34, no leading.

Hopkinton would be another monthly match to check out.

Focus for dry fire this week in preparation for shooting-on-the-move live fire on Wednesday: - Grip hard with left hand, isolate trigger finger. - Keep upper body relaxed, knees bent to steady sights and improve transitions. - Consciously think about firing two distinct aimed shots on every A-zone. Visual patience. There are only 27 more hours of dry fire practice and 4 or 5 live fire practices before A7.

I did wide transitions in live fire today and was pretty happy with improvement after a dismal classifier match this past weekend. A few dry fire sessions earlier in the week focused on this, and just making the conscious decision to keep the sights on the target for the second shot, then transition to the next target, worked wonders. A lot of this shooting stuff is just common sense. El Pres was a bit rough. I think I overdid it on the grip on my strong hand. Lots of low left shots (D's and M's), especially on the second shots. So I think I was squeezing with all my fingers and just yanking shots all over the place. I'll need to figure out how to squeeze with just my trigger finger when I'm going full speed.

LOL. Ok, Claudio Fragasso.

Wow it's been a while since I updated this. I had an awesome practice today and I'm feeling exhilarated about the rest of the season. The drill today was the accelerator. I started off kind of crappy, even getting D hits on the close target. This had been happening a lot this year, getting bad hits without calling them, then walking up to the target and saying "WTF how did that happen?" Typically the gun feels kind of floppy in recoil, as the front sight goes up then dips way down into the D zone, and seems to oscillate a few times before settling in. It would feel like the 2nd shot broke as the gun was still flopping around. Not good. So I got kind of pissed today and went back to the fundamentals. I decided to consciously grip the gun as hard as possible with my support hand, then did a 5.3 second run with 2 C's. With just this one change I started hitting A's and close C's and started to enjoy shooting again. It's weird because I honestly do grip hard in dry fire practice, and I'm pretty sure of this because my left hand and forearm get sore. But in live fire I must have been slacking, so when the gun recoiled in my weak grip I was flipping my hands back down and over-driving the gun. The whole thing makes sense to me now because I can always get a good group of A hits on a 7 yard Bill drill. It's probably because when firing 6 shots on one target, you know intuitively that you really have to drive the gun with a tight grip. So, gripping hard and locking the support hand wrist results in more As when shooting fast. I probably should have figured this out sooner and not blamed trigger control alone. But I feel like I made a breakthrough in my shooting today.

Holding the sights on the a-zone until the shot breaks is a pretty good goal. I think I will try this as well.

I would be pretty pissed if an RO tried to DQ me for making ready after he said make ready.

So if you're throwing mikes in classifiers, what do you think you should do in practice this week?

Good luck getting it running. I'm hoping it will be 100% when you get bored with production and I buy it from you.

I don't think it matters much. Most of this past season I shot 140 grain bullets with 3.8g Clays from a stock G22 and made M in production. I didn't see any difference in splits using different bullet weights. 40's at 133 PF with any bullet weight just doesn't have much recoil.
