Hi All, just wondering if anyone has any experience on the PRI carbon fiber tube? I'm using an ARMS SIR rail at the moment and the weight is considerable. Cant seem to find any reference to anyone using the PRI tubes though. Thanks in advance... Regards,

i'm cross dominant... right handed, left eye dominant. No magic tape... i just shoot with the dominant eye. it doesnt really affect the shooting at all. Think BE said something about it as he's cross dominant as well.. Good Shooting...

I had something like that before. Shells used to hit the c more mount. this would intermittently cause a jam as the shell would sometimes bounce back into the ejection port and get locked up. wasnt the extractor at all but the way the ejector was tuned. I had to tune the ejector such that it hit the brass a little more on the inside of rim of the shell. I noticed that all of the previous shells were getting indentations on the case rim such that no matter how you tried to tune the ejector for a sideways path.. it never happened. once i'd tuned the ejector such that it was not hitting the rims of the case, it ejected horizontally. might be the same problem and hope this helps Regards,

on a 170mm sti big stick, arredondo follower and dawson pad i get 28 only. Its all you really need anyway. for the 32 round courses... you need to reload anyway. IMO you dont really 29,30 rds in the 170mm. you'll change mags anyway. Of course.. if its 25rd stage and below, then the big stick shines. but most of the time, happy with using a combination of 140mms and the 170mm... there are times that i dont even use the 170mm in a match as the stages were designed such that a big stick didnt give you an advantage. the 140mm each hold 22 rds and at times, its all you really need for the long stages. Regards,

I read all the drama on here about getting mags to hold 18 in Standard or 20 in Limited, and I just have not experienced it. Oh well, lucky me. i've been able to have 18 reloadable for Std div. ... same here. Just bought two 120 mm SPS tubes and their follower kit. Can fit 18rds, reloadable in 40cal. Gets expensive though, each mag ended up costing around $100 each. ... but it beats 17rds in the mag though. At least those Para boys don't have as much an edge as before he.. he..

do they do this when they are fully loaded? I got a SV mag that won't drop when its full, but when you've shot half the mag away... it drops just right. Just the same, i don't use it for re-loads. makes it harder to shove in... I shoot ipsc.. got two 120mm 40cal SPS mags that load to 18. At leat the extra capacity now makes long course more friendly. Regards,

Thanks... aside from an extra FP stop, guess i've got all the other spares.... Regards,

Hi all... just wondering on what parts you guys keep on hand in case something breaks during a match. I have two 2011 blasters, one in open and the other in limited configuration... I don't carry a back-up for either gun at matches.. to dang heavy as it is with gear, guns and ammo in the bag... the only spares i've got would be an aftec, a guide rod and FO refills... what else should i bring? All the guns have run 100% since i got them sorted out from my smith... but thinking i'm gonna break something pretty soon... Thanks in advance.. Regards, Rush

No modification needed? I know sps grip to s*i frame need little modification from the trigger guard portion. Thanks, <{POST_SNAPBACK}> none... we fit a STI Grip to an SPS frame just recently.. wasn't aware of any difficulties. He stippled my old grip that i gave him and on it went...

yes.. an STI grip will fit on a sps frame... no problems. Shooters who have SPS guns here always end up using STI grips as they are more durable than the SPS grips...

.... are you sure its the 126 mm mags? A STI 126 mm mag holds only 15 rds stock... would love to get it to 18rds with some play left.... All i've been able to get is 17 rds max. On a STI mag, a +1 basepad and a arredondo follower. On the grams spring follower kit which i put into a SVi mag.. that will only go to 17 rds max... 9 coils, even with a +1 pad.... I did get 1 mag to go to 18 rds, but no play left... use it as my first mag. Maybe these are on a 140 mm mag? I've been trying to get to at least 18, reloadable.... right now, my second and third mags are loaded to 16rds just to ensure that i can reload smoothly w/o having to beat up the gun to get the mag to seat Any more tricks left to increase the 126mm mag capacities?

-1 there.... there are alot of better smiths out there. To name 2, look at first option and metrillo... and they're alot cheaper... shop around first. and really... 2nd hand isn't a bad thing here... most of the 2nd hand guns from shooters tend to be first rate setups... .. and flex is right... get to shooting. figure out the other stuff later.... rgds,

that's how i started out... now i've got a S&W 910, STI open, STI 40, a HK USP... he.. he... at the end of the day... para 16-40's or armscors work the same as STI, HK and S&W... i've found its the shooter that counts... If you're on a shoe string budget.... get a production gun as its the least expensive to compete... if you fall in love swith the sport, like we have.. there are plenty of limited 40's available out there... just ask a couple of the RO's and/or shooters at the matches.... They're bound to know someone trying to offload a good pistol that's been match tuned etc.. etc... Regards,

... pictures? please..... Thanks...

What's the difference in terms of the WS final standings if you shot in Pre-Match vs shooting over the match proper like regular shooters? Is there a difference in standing/awards for those in pre-match vs match proper? Just curious... I see Blake Miguez shot in Pre-Match and wondering what the effect would be of that... DVC & Regards,
