These are the ones I could post, that were not too big for the site, to illustrate the finger problem. The only reason I added these is because I was doing the exact same thing and could not believe I was, UNTIL …..BANG>>>> into a wall. I can tell you I was DQ'd and rightfully so and I have never done so again. Put tape on the side of the gun so I can feel where my finger is. PLEASE listen to the people that are just trying to help.

The thing I hate about classifiers is they do not REALLY tell you how you are shooting. You stated you shot the entire match " the best match of my life" and after the classifier the only thing you remember is how BAD that stage was. It was just ONE stage. Treat it that way, just another stage.
Classifiers are used to advance, but it really only tells you how you shoot classifiers. It does not tell you how well you plan out the hard stages, the moving, the reloads, the swingers, the Texas Star, the transitions between targets, splits, etc. I think when we stop worrying about that one stage and continue to plan and execute the other 5 or 9 or 12 stages then that stage will be a means to an end. To shoot the overall match to the best of our ability.
Just my opinion.

How many rounds through gun? I had same problem with my 9 mm and changed recoil spring and solved the problem
-
PHX, I also changed to a 8 lb recoil spring. I actually bought from Wolf their spring kit and changed springs until I felt the gun was running smooth. Just an idea. Good luck.
-
PHX, that what I discovered was wrong with me/mag. I did hours of dry fire with all my emphasis on my grip( I was also putting my index finger on my weak hand around trigger guard, changed that to full wrap, with weak hand,around strong hand) and I did not continue to have those issues.
-
Is it legal (USPSA Rules) and or safe to tape/pin a grip safety on a 2011? I sure this has been asked before but could not find a tread.
Thanks for any help.

Are you shooting major with your .38 super? Do they make factory ammo that would produce major?
thanks

My weekly "newsletter" LOL
This week with added left hand control and pressure, as discussed in last update, the gun ran flawlessly!!! I am improving along with the knowledge that my gun will run.
Lots of compliments on the look, feel etc. Not a one in town, Houston, TX, but mine, feel kind of special.
-
Well this week was a different story than last....
My first round 34 shots ( I think) and the gun ran flawless....THEN the next round I had issues with every mag. I put in gun. Looked like one round half in chamber and the next round pushing up into the first round locking things up. Took the barrel off, thinking maybe not enough oil or... and nothing was wrong. Put back together and had everyone saying the same thing, that I had never considered or quite frankly heard before. Was I strong with my left hand (70%) and weak with my right hand (30%) I am a right hand shooter, and was I gripping the gun tightly. I honestly, as a new shooter, had to answer I did not know. So caught up in thinking about the stages, reloading, shooting. SOOOO the next round, doing what I was told, the gun ran flawless again. And in the Qualifier shooting 5 fast, reload, 5 fast and then doing it again it never missed a beat.
-
Here is mine. Love this gun for Steel, fast and smooth and accurate!

One more time...

My gold Team

Update on my Gold Team. Got it and went to shooting and had all the problems I had heard about. Even the mag from the factory was a problem (or so I thought) I work part time at Briley in the sales dept. and got all kinds of advice, all having to do with RELOAD YOUR OWN, RELOAD YOUR OWN, etc. Well I do not care to reload, right now, so was really upset with the situation. My choice of shells was the Federal 9mm 115 FMJ, and a shooter in my club suggested a heavier load and a lighter spring. So I ordered a Wolf 8 lb and 9 lb spring and put the 8 lb in and starting shooting the Winchester, white box, 9mm 115 FMJ (this shell is also just a smidgen longer than the Federal)and in all mags, factory and Hennings, it now RUNS< RUNS< RUNS !!!!!! I am sure you know the feeling of a gun that you can count on. All the guys in my club said today, " I thought you said that gun would not run" as I won 3rd place, out of 20, in our local Steel Challenge shoot! WOW
-
Thanks for all the input. I have decided to go for it and have ordered. Found the Witness Elite Gold Team for $1571. new, and they actually had one in stock, can't beat what you get for the money.
Littletoe where did you get your mags?
Thanks again for all the help!
