HI5-O

1.225-1.230 with a Zero 121 JHP in STI and MBX mags in an STI frame gun. A fellow shooter using a Caspian frame gun loads his longer around 1.250-1.260 because the Caspian mags allow it without binding.

Using the other brand of hinged plates and I don’t care for them. Yesterday’s match they started to turn as they got loose in the ground. Couldn’t drive them deeper as it would have changed their presentation for the next shooters. Another match had them pop back up after being knocked down. Their short size doesn’t give you much options when setting their height unless you fabricated some stands or something.

The best deal yet for a state match. Must be a typo

You’ll need to use the C-More Slideride for that mount. Size of the dot is your personal preference. I like the dot sizes of 6 or 8 moa.

You can come to Maui and shoot with us on the 27th

Looks like none of the Oahu clubs anything listed for those dates. They have a couple of matches in October before those dates tho.

I too had the same issues you are experiencing upon my initial use of the Labradar. Things I did to get it “working” were: Reset the unit back to factory settings, then enter your preferences; Make sure you have good batteries in it or a fully charged external battery; Place a short straw in the aiming groove to make it easier to aim the unit; The Labradar has to be kept relatively stable when firing, I have seen the unit shake a little but it recorded the shot; Muzzle offset distant has to be within the distance you selected, I usually set the muzzle about half the offset distance (I use 6” offset and keep the muzzle about 3-4” away from the unit); Muzzle has to be inline with the center of the unit for reliable shot detection; Set the muzzle a couple inches behind the unit (towards the shooter) so it can sense the shot better; Target distance I set is about 25 yards away, too close and I had problems; I set my different velocity distances in feet; Make sure the unit is armed and ready to record the shot; Labradar works great for me. I mostly use it for pistol load development and will soon be doing rifle. The club I shoot with had one donated and the guys who were tasked to get it ready had a lot of “problems” getting it to run. I was asked to help and using what I learned, was able to show the guys that proper setup is crucial for reliable operation. The unit was used in our state match with winds blowing 10-20 mph and the Labradar worked well because they set it up correctly. Don’t listen if someone says you need to drill holes in the side so the unit can “hear” the shot. The unit detects the shot impulse, not the sound of the shot.

Something to keep in mind and get the support of your squad mates would be nice. 6.5 Competitor Scheduling and Squadding 6.5.1 Competitors must compete for score according to the published match and squadding schedule. A competitor who is not present at the scheduled time and date for any stage may not attempt that stage without the prior approval of the Match Director or Range Master, failing which the competitor’s score for that stage will be zero.

I discovered the adjustable sensitivity feature and found the timer would pick up the click of the thumb safety and the hammer strike during dry fire practice. Plus the ability to adjust the volume of the start beep keeps the neighbors happy. Haven’t tried interfacing it with PractiScore yet.

A 2011 open gun Glock 43 off the range

I’m in a different boat. All major matches that I attend are costly because I have to travel by air since I live on an island in the Pacific Ocean. That doesn’t give me the ability to drive to the match on the day of or day before the match. The time zones are a factor too so I go at least a day and a half before the match to get acclimated to the time and temperature. This was the first time it happened to me where I wasn’t able to shoot at all. So due to the logistics involved, I would write it off for the year and plan to attend next year.

Area 4 is postponed/rescheduled so looking for another match to shoot the ammo we brought over.

Do you plan on attempting to tune it with the piloted drill out ports? I recall seeing another company using removable set screws for turning their brakes.

I use the Pro Grip but use just enough (trial and error) versus some guys who put a huge amount in their palms. If I need to clean it off and I’ll clean it occasionally, I use 91% isopropyl alcohol and an old toothbrush to scrub it and blot it dry. Comes out clean enough.

This has been posted in the rules section and a discussion is taking place.

Their G43X and G48 come with nPVD coated silver slides. Maybe they are testing it out to see if there’s a market for that finish. I think it’s mostly for corrosion resistance.

I just got a 7360 for a Glock G17 with a light. What gun and what is the height of the front sight you plan on running?

Use the trigger setting , not doppler and no external mic and set on level 1 sensitivity. Where people run into problems would be the unit is not aimed at the target, too much movement of radar, muzzle location relative to the sensor, and weak batteries. Minimized the aiming issue by using a straw set into the aiming notch. Put the radar on a tripod or sandbag on the table mount. With a tripod, the radar can be set high enough so you can shoot standing. Muzzle needs to be centered with the radar and slightly back of the unit and within the offset selected. Depending on the settings you selected, battery life can be short. Using an external battery helps. A lot of issues can be avoided by reading the users manual. If someone has been changing the settings, you can reset back to factory settings and start over. We had one person even suggested to drill holes in the housing so the unit can “hear” the shot. DO NOT let someone like that near your Labradar.

Thank you for coming to our little island match. We enjoyed having you shoot with us. Come back anytime.

I have used the Atlanta Arms ammo in 38SC. The ammo was a hair over major pf in my guns. See if you can try before you buy. Other than that, the ammo used new Starline brass with a JHP bullet. No malfunctions and was accurate. Big Country Tactical looks promising. I would try them in the future.

I had to change the four lockdown screws with the thinner white locking tabs and the screws with thinner heads that secure the ring that holds the shell plate. The original screws and tabs were too thick after I installed the roller bearings kit and wouldn’t let the tool head go all the way down.

Maybe sell the railway and get one of those smaller sights where it’ll fit on one short rail. I think the railway would be to bulky as a backup sight and a little “fragile” too.

What if you put two short ones on?

Check to see that the powder failsafe rod is attached and adjusted correctly. Sounds like the powder bar is not making full travel.
