    Help tape/score/ro. When you walk the stage, after 5 times or so, you will see all of the targets. I had a few brainfarts like this that I would miss targets... but it was all a result of not walking the entire stage.

    15 round magazines in Production

    in USPSA/IPSC Shooting

    Posted

    and yes... I shoot Single Stack Minor, 10 rounds... with the longest COF being 32 rounds... if you really need more than 40 rounds.... you need to focus on your accuracy. Only on one occassion I needed to go into my 5th mag (Barney mag), and used 1 round of it. Do I own 6 mags for the gun? Yes.... but at most I carry 1 in the gun, 3 on the belt, and on seldom occassions, a barney mag in my pocket.

    15 round magazines in Production

    Speaking for NJ.... with a wacked 15 round limit on magazines...

    for the law abiding citizens, try finding 15 round mags for alot of these guns. They either come in 10 round (for banned states), or standard capacity. For handguns like Hk P30 9mm, 15 rounds is what they fit.... however standard size glocks, XD's, M&P's, all fit a few more beyond 15... and none of them typically carry standard mags, 10 round mags, and 15 round mags for NJ.

    Only Smith Wesson recently started selling 15 round 9mm mags for NJ. If you are getting a CZ, you need to find old Mec-Gar 15 round mags, or Magnum Research Baby Eagle 9mm mags. the new EAA/CZ mags are all 16 or 17 rounds. What we end up with is an issue of having to find an FFL who is willing to modify the magazine for you to get it to 15.

    Being in NJ, we have alot of shooters from PA come to the events due to proximity. Do you mean to say that everyone from NJ is SOL to the guys in PA because they can get legally a standard cap magazine?

    What sort of an image/message would USPSA send out by saying.... if you live in a ban state, you are SOL, and we dont care about you. USPSA is about what state you live in, and not about your shooting abilities.

    If 10 rounds are really a hindrance.... learn to shoot accurately and plan your mag reloads. If not being able to shoot 15 rounds in Production is your biggest issue, and you cannot shoot Limited Minor.... you have bigger issues to worry about.

    Edit... btw, as an owner of a NJ forum, and a relatively young USPSA shooter, 6 matches... , we have been introducing new shooters to USPSA in the past few matches, ask Jim Norman. Not ONE! has complained about 10 rounds in Production, or about having to find more mags. In a few cases, a more experienced shooter lent out a full glock 19 rig to a new shooter, we have provided on numerous occasions mag pouches, and I have offered extra magazines for people that would not have them initially.

    Being friendly is what gets people to come and try the sport and keep coming back, not being able to stuff in 5 more rounds.

    Except this is an FU to every NY, MA, CA gun owner. If someone out of state comes in with 22 round mags, etc, meanwhile, legally they can only shoot x.

    By having everyone go by the same rules, it evens the playing field and really tests the competitor.... not about who can buy a production gun with the largest capacity.

    Keep it at 10 rounds. If someone really wants to shoot more than 10 rounds, they will go Limited.

    I dont buy the whole "you need alot of accessories to play" in uspsa.

    If your gun came with 2 mags, is buying 2 more mags, a few cheap mag pouches and a cheap holster that much? It pales in comparison to the amount spent on ammo, match fees and practice.

    In every case, if someone introduces you to the sport, they will let you borrow some stuff.

    I have at least 4 mags for 80% of my handguns.

    Gpal Beware (formerly GunPal)

    Any updates? Still no money. Now Calguns is cutting off all ties with gpal. :roflol:<_<

    No they're not:

    Calguns.net still maintains full faith and confidence in Gpal and their ability to resolve the current issues they are experiencing and will continue to accept Gpal as a payment option for advertising and Contributorships.

    Read the post.... they are getting rid of the Gpal support forum on the site, the only place where Gpal actually replied. Calguns is now telling everyone else to pound sand.

    New Zero Bullets?

    in 9mm/38 Caliber

    would be tempted to see the new ones. I was looking for zero bullets when i started reloading, however could not find them in stock. Went with MG, and could not be happier... and yes, they look prettier. lol. saw some zero bullets at a gun show, finally, and honestly, was not impressed versus MG.

    Nationals cost?

    I would also mention, if you are a degenerate gambler.... call the hotels and see what they can do about comps, often times you can get discounts. For instance, for this years ShotShow, I was able to get a few nights comped at the Wynn, and a discounted rate for the rest, and my buddy is paying $300 or so for a week at Harrah's.

    Flight, book it early... you can get some good rates. If you are in Maryland, see about flying out from Phily. There are a bunch of PHL to LAS nonstop flights, and cheaper than any other surrounding airports.
