Are you sure it's corrosion and not dirty grease/oil?

What's that got to do with anything. It could have been done in metric too.
You haven't proved a thing!

Multiply by 25.4
Metric equivalents should be included because of INTERNATIONAL in the organisation name!
The US is one of the few countries that doesn't use metric measurements.

I assume if I use this holster for competition, I should not order the sweat guard? Am I correct?
Mine has the sweat guard, and , for me, not an issue.

I have a Ranger II in 9mm - OAL = 1.115"
and a Trojan in 45ACP - OAL = 1.25"

This is what you want.

I have the Garrett Silent Thunder holster for my STI Ranger II and love it. I use it for IDPA.

Does IDPA STILL not have one set of rule decisions for the entire country/world?
They did away with that about 2017.

I just tapped it back in and took an automatic center punch and staked both ends. I did this in 2008 and it hasn't walked since.

The only way to find out is to chrono ammo out of your gun. What works in mine may/will not work in yours.
When I run factory, it's CCI Blazer Brass 124gr, Federal American Eagle 124 and 147 out of my gun.
Don't play the game at or close to 125pf it will bite you, I run 137pf never been bitten.
I was doing chrono at a major IDPA match and a gentleman, from Idaho, passed chrono on the last shot, his pf was 125001. I sought him out to let him know and said use a bigger shovel for the powder. A year later at a State match that I was working, he saw me and thanked me.

Get yourself the Lyman Shotshell Reloading Handbook.
Lots there.

I get that the odd time and believe that it's caused by the case bouncing and getting tipped by the shellplate. Slowing down seems to help.

Thanks for the update Warren.

I have 2 different sizes of the Shooters connection bags. Both have been flawless and I am very happy with them. I think they are well thought out with the organizing pockets.
Me too.

I have this image in my mind of a bunch of people sitting around, patting each other on the back, telling each other what a good job they are doing. Meanwhile the peasants are restless... "let them eat cake"
A good friend of mine, now deceased, was on the Tiger Team and was the first one to walk away from it because nothing was getting done and it was the "good ole boys" sitting around (tele conference) telling war stories about their matches.

Yeah, either that or revert to the way it was in the previous rulebook.
It certainly isn't obvious to me why this change was considered necessary.
If it ain't broke... sigh...IDPA... sigh...
IMO no fault lines, even though being subjective, was way better.
It is broke sad to say, they keep making a rulebook and keep f'ing up.

If they're calling a procedural for a foot past an imaginary line as in the diagram, they are defeating the purpose of having faultlines. Back to subjective calls. You'd need to put a back faultline down essentially making a shooting box.
Back to IPSC Lite. They still can't write a rulebook. You buy cheap, you get cheap. They need to pay a pro to write the book.

This is the way is was described to me. And he said in some cases in the below example if the shooters heel is up they might be fine but if there heel goes down flat they'll be out and get a PE,
Edit to add, if it's done like your club is doing I see no issue. The way my club is planning to do it sounds really annoying to me.
And to help clarify, the dashed line would be a imaginary line, not a physical barrier.
Which is what happened when they first introduced fault lines - touch the grass on the other side - PE. It really didn't work then. Ken Reed originally said that fault lines would not work in IDPA and then a year later he said they would. Flip flop or what?

We shot an ICORE match in that wind down here in Kansas! All targets were moving targets, was breaking 1x2 target sticks and the bigger gusts would actually move your arm several inches! But we perservered and had a good time!
So you put a new barrel on it? Hope it helps less than a month to the Nationals!
I shot a PPC match many years ago on a military range bordering a major river and the wind mostly blew north to south and quite strongly, the targets were facing east. At 25 yds I had to aim at the target to my left, at the 7 on a B27 target, to get the bullet to hit my target. Talk about Kentucky windage!

I have a lot of practicing to do before I’m remotely comfortable shooting CO. Little to no time behind the optic as it stands. And a slight hesitation causes me to lose any advantage vs iron sights.
A little tip to help with aiming fast with CO. Bring the gun up so that the back plate of the slide is level with your nose and the red dot will be easier and faster to pick up.
Want to replace the OEM front sight on my Glock 20

I'm running Hi Viz greens on the front and red on the rear of all my Glocks. Have done so for 15 years and am happy.
