Sure hope those prices are not for "each".... lol. @Rpope423 would help if the quantity was posted with the price. BC

Rifles Around here, the majority of people either have their rifle in a zipped bag or on a cart. When they are on deck and the previous shooter has vacated the shooting box and removed all their gear, they position the zipped bag on the barrel or table that is setup next to the shooting box. The carts are wheeled next to the shooting box and positioned so that when the rifle is picked up, it CANNOT sweep the competitor, other competitors, spectators or the RO. Since this is the responsibilityof the shooter, they get the DQ if any sort of sweeping occurs. The cart is usually right next to the shooting box and angled so the weapon(s) are pointing downrange or to a side berm. Nothing is touched or unzipped until the "Make Ready" command is issued by the RO. After the RO has determined that the rifle is clear and gives the "If clear, hammer down (optional) and flag" command, the flag is inserted and the weapon is placed back in the bag and zipped past the trigger group. Most people zip it all the way closed so nothing falls out when it is transported to the next stage. If they are using a cart, the flagged rifle is aimed at the backstop (or berm if the club so deems) and then placed in the cart. At that point the RO calls "Range Clear". RF Pistol For rimfire pistol, most have a gun bag and use that the same way as the bagged rifle. It is completely zipped before the RO calls "Range Clear". These are all Level 1 matches but the same was followed for the Level 2 match at the Michigan Steel Challenge Championship. BC

This is only true for some lowers. The HyperFire shoe works with a Lead Star lower. BC

As mentioned, a Lead Star upper would be the best way to go. They have VERY tight tolerances so matching someone else's upper to your lower could present problems. After that, it depends on how much you want to spend. Lots of carbon fiber and titanium parts are available so pulling together what you want for a barrel length (full size or short barrel with a shroud) is the next decision. That impacts other parts such as your bolt carrier group and buffer system. This is the blue carbine built on a match set from Lead Star. It runs very well and is very light. Best of luck, BC

Shows "GONE"..... BC

So where in Florida are you located? There are some really great clubs in that state. BC

Sadly I bought a case of 5,000.... BC

Need more information. Did you continue to hold the trigger rearward when the full-auto firing started? If not, was the broken firing pin protruding from the bolt's breachface and really, really stuck there? BC

That only works if the club is in the Section. We have one here in Michigan that is not a section participant and is listed as IPSCxx where USPSA headquarters assigns the last 2 digits. BC

Doug Jones at Acc-U-Rail. A true professional who stands behind everything he builds. You might want to send him your lower so he can rail it to the upper. Acc-U-Rail 2271 Star Court Building 4 Rochester Hills, MI 48309 (248) 852-6490 Call and talk to him regarding lead time and what parts you are going to provide. He might have some suggestions as he has literally built hundreds of guns. BC

Switched over from Winchester to CCI Mini-Mag Target 40 grain 1235 fps velocity after having feeding and ejection issues on the first six stages of a SC match. One of the guys in my squad took pity on me and gave me a box of 100 to run on the last two stages. The RFRO and S&W Victory in RFPO ran that stuff perfectly. Found a link to the 5,000 round cases and ordered two. Now the Winchester stuff is just for practice.... and it still jams. BC

My experience was quite the opposite. Had a Romeo4S that would not change between the dot and the compass points & dot reticle. Sent it in and they returned one that not only did that but also had a third option of three "stacked" dots for hold-over shots. Nice upgrade for no charge. On another note, have a P320 Legion with the Loaded Chamber Indicator (LCI) cut in the barrel hood. E-mailed them explainging that it was throwing debris all over the Romeo3 XL optic lense as the gun was used in USPSA competition, Carry Optics division. They replied to the e-mail saying that a new barrel was in the works but it might be some time before it was available due to the high demand for the Legion. It arrived three weeks later. No charge for the barrel and they didn't want the LCI barrel returned. Impressive results. Hopefully, they respond to you but also keep in mind that it's the holidays and they might not be working.

Livingston Gun Club - Southeast Michigan Practical Shooters - MI05 is the oldest and still active club in Michigan According to Pat Sweeney SEMPS was organized about 1978 and moved to LGC in 1983 So that's 42 years. Outdoor ranges only. Detroit Sportsmen's Congress - MI11 Originated in 1993 so this will be the start of the 29th year Both indoor and outdoor ranges so they try and provide 11-12 monthly matches a year. January 2021 will be the next scheduled match as the indoor range was locked down in December. BC

$25 for all 8... and 2 beers, one for her and another for her husband. She's a good friend of mine that just started up her engraving business. The time consuming part was making a jig to hold the baseplates in place (they were done 5 at a time) and then lining up the laser. The actual engraving was less than 5 minutes. Now that she has the jig, she can do them very quickly. Try contacting her through FB (link). BC

Thanks for the feedback. My primary is getting the Barsto fitted by Robert. Expecting it back soon as he e-mailed on December 24th saying he was starting the project. BC

Capitalism at it's finest. The old saying of "Charge what the market will bear" has been replaced with "Take what the market will bid". BC

Ventured into CO several years ago from Open division. Had a CZ built by Angus Hobdell at CZ Custom but the grip angle just wasn't for me and sold it. After 4 years, decided to give CO another try. Several local shooters let me shoot their guns which included a Tanfoglio Stock 2, Glock 34, Sig P320 X5 and finally the Sig P320 Legion. As for the Sig's trigger, the stock trigger was no where near where it needed to be. At almost 5 pounds and a lengthy amount of travel, it soured me on the P320 platform. Coming from Open division and a 16 ounce trigger done by Doug Jones of Acc-U-Rail, the P320 trigger travel seemed like a mile, the wall was mushy and the break was a bit shabby. But there are solutions already out there. Gray Guns has 2 different kits, Apex, Armory Craft and Keres all make replacement triggers. The Sig Armorer also has two different trigger jobs available and can install almost anything you send to him. Started the hunt for the Legion in August and now five months later, have a primary and backup. As already stated, almost every post in this thread talks about what they chose, including this one. Shoot everything you can get your hands on, then decide. You wouldn't buy a car without a test drive. Why would you decide to buy a gun without shooting it? Best of luck in your decision. BC

Wow.... and he was only charging an additional $30 for shipping..... such a deal. BC

Well said... BC

Sig P320 Legion with Romeo3 XL optic (and some other stuff). BC

In excruciating detail, no but am interested in learning. BC

Correct, you are safely ensconced on your limb. It was on carpet and that may not have been the exact Dallas Police testing procedure. Bottom line, for my purposes the AC trigger at it's current setting is acceptable. The P320's that fired when dropped were NOT the Legion and had not gone through the voluntary repair program that Sig offered. Go to 2:37 in this video and their Legion was dropped so many times the beavertail broke off. BC

My original Legion had the Loaded Chamber Indicator (LCI) cut in the barrel hood which caused debris to be thrown on the optic glass as it is setup for CO division. That was the major reason the barrel was replaced by the Barsto. Sig is in the process of replacing the LCI barrel with one that does not have that opening, but with the demand for the Legion, it might be a while before the barrel is shipped. What weight recoil spring are both of you using? It might help if you also identify what ammunition you are shooting. Thanks in advance. BC

Actual stages rarely match the drawings.... Once targets and walls hit the ground, changes occur. BC

After viewing the videos from SHOT 2020 and the information about the Alien's "piston operated blowback system" a couple of thoughts popped up. Owning several LWRC "piston operated blowback system" rifles one of the critical parts of those guns is keeping the gas capture area clean. LWRC calls it "the cup". Yes, it does vent hot gasses and debris away from the bolt carrier group and that stays clean and cool. BUT (there is always a but...) your support hand on the rifle cannot be near where the gas is vented. This may not be an issue with a pistol but keeping the mechanism clean will be crucial to reliable operation. Secondly, a 17 or 18 round magazine in Carry Optics is not going to cut it. Almost every other gun in that division is running 22-23 in the legal length magazine. Speaking of magazines, when are those going to be readily available? And when are the basepad manufacturers (TTi, Henning, Arredondo, etc.) going to have extensions available? Tooling up basepad manufacturing for such a limited number of guns in this country is going to be a significant business decision. It will boil down to how many basepads do you have to sell and at what price to reach the break even point on the tooling? Lastly, what is involved in replacing the barrel? Those do wear out.... eventually. It may be the best thing since sliced bread. It may be a passing fad. Time will tell. BC
