Try Winchester Super Field. I find it a very close second to N320.

Ah that is good to know. So are they not welded in, or are you breaking the weld and removing them? Would you need a new follower for that?
No time to load today or tomorrow by the spacers can be removed from the Metalform if that helps you out
Thanks dude. Much appreciated.I have 10 Metalform 10 round mags coming from Greg probably tomorrow. When I get a minute I will see if I can load a long 9MM and test the mag for you
Not welded in but follower would then be too small.

I received an email from the MD of a local match informing me that I was disqualified from attending any of their future matches because of a post I made online towards one of the MD's friends.

Subject: [match name redacted]
Dear Mr. Mosher,
After much thought and consideration, I have come to the decision that your future attendance at [club name redacted] matches will not be welcome. I believe this decision to be in the mutual best interest of all concerned, and the best interest of the match.
I have come to this decision based on you most recent unprovoked and unwarranted social media attack on a USPSA member, [name redacted]. To refresh your memory, you posted on 4/9/2016, " the only thing [name redacted] runs off is his mouth". This was in a thread relative to who may be running for USPSA Section Coordinator....
------
The MD cited rule 8.2.2.3 for DQing me from all future matches for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Reviewing the rule cited, I just cannot, even in the most liberal interpretation, justify a DQ in this case, although I am admittedly biased, as this is a match I frequented and enjoyed shooting and can no longer participate in because the MD got mad that I was mean to his friend on the Internet.
My specific situation aside, can an MD DQ anyone from a match for whatever reason and cite rule 8.2.2.3 for justification like this?
Should social media posts or personal disagreements outside of the match be grounds for disqualification from matches?
There is no 8.2.2.3 unless it is a club rule.
10.6.1 Competitors will be disqualified from a match for conduct which a Range Officer deems to be unsportsmanlike. Examples of unsports-manlike conduct include, but are not limited to, cheating, dishonesty, failing to comply with the reasonable directions of a Match Official, or any behavior likely to bring the sport into disrepute. The Range Master must be notified as soon as possible.

This subject gets brought up from time to time. An RO can certainly create dangerous situations. RO's have started shooters on a COF when people were still down range. That would not be the shooters fault. Sure the dummy should not be down range, but the RO is responsible for the stage
OK let's use this scenario. But unfortunately the guy downrange got injured. Would the RO be covered by any insurance etc?
No need. No one saw anything bury the guy in the berm

Congratulations to you and to the others commenting. We will hit 42 in May. (The poor girl had no idea what she was getting into)

As a former chrono guy, when open shooters came to the stage, I had no interest in their 140MM mags. I asked for all big stick mags to be gauged. One guy said I only use one. I asked, how many do you have with you. Answer was three. I said bring them all in case you have a malfunction and need to put another into the mix you know you will be all set.
MOST shooters have no problem with that. If someone does, it really sends up a red flag.

The magazine was used at Chrono. It was checked at chrono.
Chrono is a stage.
BUT, most majors equipment checks take place at Chrono not by rule but by policy and practice. Equipment checks can take place at any stage of a match. A RO at each stage should be taking note of equipment and if he/she thinks there is a problem, they should do a full inspection. Because of time constraints, this is rarely done.
To be Devil's advocate, any equipment submitted at chrono for testing (like an oversize mag) is equipment being used in a match. Why would someone submit equipment NOT being used? That makes no sense.
(Example would be a shooter that shoots limited and open at different matches grabbing a 170MM legal open mag when they are shooting Limited at chrono. Why would they do that? Mag isn't being used in the match.)
Equipment checks for holster position and distance should be completed at random intervals throughout a match. People move things. Accidentally or on purposely, things get moved.
-
I would imagine if the rig fails the shooter can ask to remove it and have it remeasured.5.2.5.1 These measurements may be taken with the equipment as worn
or removed (see App. E2).
It's interesting because many metal guns with a loaded mag will be so heavy that they actually won't be vertical while in holster. As a result, the measurements between worn and removed would differ pretty significantly.
Is it the shooter who decides how he/she wants to measure this distance, or the SO/MD?
If it fails after you shot a stage, you get bumped into open.
Actually, Open has the same requirement. I believe is is a zero for the stage rather than a bump since it was shot with non compliant gear for all divisions.
I say "I believe" because I really don't recall on this one but I am sure it is not a bump.

Sarge,
Unfortunately there are some dishonest contractors around, but I pride myself on being a honest plumber.
Me too and I HATE when I go to a customer's house on a Saturday morning, repair their no heat problem, send an invoice, they acknowledge receiving the invoice and 45 days later I am still not paid.
My solution now is next time they call, tell them to get someone else. I expect to be paid within 5 days unless you make other arrangements.
Also, if you want to negotiate price, do it before I do the work, not after you get the bill

Hope you recover soon. After 5 hand surgeries in the past three years I understand the HATE

Foam plugs are actually one of the better options IF PROPERLY INSTALLED.
This and an observation, I have seen a trend where shooters buy cheap hearing protection from places like Harbor Freight and Home Depot thinking they are getting a deal. Cheaper is not always better.
I double up all the time with molded plugs that have filters and Pro Ears. If I find there are exceptionally loud guns like my AR on my squad, I change the plugs to custom without filters under the pro ears.
Some guns are louder than others but some people have more sensitive hearing than others. I want to maintain my hearing as long as possible but don't tell my wife. She thinks it has deteriorated a lot over the years

Hard to tell from the video but looks like last footing was out of the shooting area so the bunny hop was just a wasted move.
See rules posted above

Happy Birthday Merlin.

Is there any law where I can ask for a refund on a gun I bought used face to face specifically in Massachusetts?
It has been 3 days and I asked today for a refund and was denied and accused of having buyers remorse. Buyers remorse is not the issue at hand..
Anything I can do?!
Unfortunately, there is nothing in MA law that allows voiding the sale. What is wrong with it and what is it?

Man, you guys sleep in warm rooms. My wife says I am a furnace at night so bedroom is 60 most of the time and up to 64 for morning shower.
We have an innerspring mattress that has a memory foam top. The seller calls it "Best of Both Worlds" It gets hot and the room temp allows me to renove blankets to cool down around 3AM
My sleep patterns suck

Really. Haven't heard speed queen since the 70's. And I can honestly say I never even saw a fridgidaire washer.My Son does appliance repair. He recommends Speed Queen first . Then Whirlpool and Frigidaire.
Also says stay away from LG and Samsung. When they break, they break expensive and are designed for a life of 5yrs.
YMMV
You need to broaden your horizons

Round Stuck in Barrel, Safe Area
in USPSA/IPSC Rules
Posted · Edited by Round_Gun_Shooter
If you are in the Safe area, as soon as you catch the round you are subject to a SQ for handling ammo in a Safe area.
10.5.12 Handling live or dummy ammunition (including practice or training rounds, snap caps and empty cases), loaded magazines or loaded speed loading devices in a Safety Area, or failing to comply with Rule 2.4.1. The word “handling” does not preclude competitors from entering a Safety Area with ammunition in magazines or speed loading devices on their belt, in their pockets or in their range bag, provided the competitor does not physically remove the ammunition, loaded magazines or loaded speed loading devices from their retaining or storage device while within the Safety Area.
I would ask the RM for an unused part of the range he would be comfortable with me removing the stuck round
Edit to add: I have no idea where the practice of a "Box" in a safe area is being used but I have never seen it. By the rules,
2.4 Safety Areas
The host organization is responsible for the construction and placement of a sufficient number of Safety Areas for the match. They should be conveniently placed and easily identified with signs. At level II or higher matches, Safety Areas must include a table with the safe direction and boundaries clearly shown.
All safe areas I have seen were the length of a table. Since there is no handling of ammunition, why would a club not do it that way?
