We use flat steel plate with three round tubes welded to it at MSSA (Memphis Sport Shooting Association)
The wall's legs simply slide down into them, and it lets us create T intersections and the like quite easily. Most of the time we don't even need to stake them down.
I know this is an old post. Might you have the specs for these stands?

Yep and that was the only thing better about the DAA.
Sarge did you just stick that to the holster?

Yes it would fit if you cut the dawson plug, The only reason I did not do that was my hands are to big and my pinkie finger gets jammed on the dawson magwell, I used the glock plastic well as it fits my hand perfect The plug would have to be cut right over the threaded hole for the holding bolt, then it would duplicate the little plug that comes with the tungsten plug, cut cut would have to be exact as it holds in the plug, or you could stuff a tad of something to conform perfectly to the base of the plug, but really no reason to do that unless you mess up the cut
Thanks

Do you think a Dawson magwell could be used if you shortened up the Dawson plug?

Can't say for sure, but if they did, they probably wouldn't have customers with brand new guns that don't run. Do you know for a fact that they do? Or are you just a fanboy?
I can tell you with certainty that every gun is test fired prior to leaving the building.

If the coatings are actually what's causing all the delays and headaches, why would they not bring that process in house? It doesn't require much in the way of time, space or equipment. And it would cut their cost and cut delivery times considerably.
What kind of coating are you thing of?

Gun has been thoroughly/chemically cleaned, heavily lubricated, and I removed a good bit of material from the left side of the ejector. There was perhaps three sheets of paper of clearance between the ejector and the slide.
Range day was today. 260 rounds. Two ejection problems. When I went to disassemble the gun the slide froze ever so slightly when trying to remove it.
Got the gun apart and........most of the tip of the ejector is broken off.
Should I just have a new ejector installed, or send it back to the builder (with me paying shippingx2) and have him fix it?
For the price of the part Vs shipping a gun I would put a new one in. Its an easy job.

The video does not really show anything.

Not sure I see your point. SV will sell you a new barrel. But apparently they won't put it in an older gun for you. Harley might sell you a new crank, if they still have them. But they won't put it in your motor for you.
Try buying an IMM barrel

Are the cups a little deeper than the Sordins?

Have any of you tried the ear pro from Safariland out?

Use your thumbs.

I have the Platinum level. Shooting open I double up. I take the muffs of between stages. If I am just shooting my sig I do not need the extra set of muffs.
-
I do not understand why sig released the max and the xl. The xl glass is big. I have a max mounted up now I will look at the XL next.

Why don't they all run Atlas, SVI, Akai, Limcat (won Nationals 2018)
I thought this person was indicating Limcat won last years limited nationals.

My honest opinion?
Get what you want! Get which ever you like more and don't concern yourself with others opinions. In the end they're going to be pretty much the same gun, they're all going to need a little fine tuning for your preferences and liking. And if you think that one is drastically different for reason a, b, and c, and you want it to shoot perfect out of box they you're probably not good enough for it to really matter, or your so good that you know it really doesn't matter. If you are into the name or the hype of a gun them get that one. I personally find that 90% of what you hear from forums will be a cult followers spoutting the same circle jerking opinions. You go to another forum page you'll hear the exact same comments for the other gun! You go to sig forums and they'll tell you sig is the best and czs are trash.. i bet you can guess what cz owners will say about sigs. That's because everyone is only trying to justify their own purchases.. if anyone tries to tell them otherwise they get butt hurt about it. Notice the most neutral opinions here are from those who own both Atlas and STI?
For example, here more people prefer Atlas, the community favors Atlas, you go to the sti forums, guess what they like? Now Look at the uspsa national equipment survey. The strong majority of competitors are running STI. Now this could be that STI is willing to throw more money at competitors to use their pistols but if their guns are 1/10th the gun of (insert 2011 manufacturer) then wouldn't you think the competitors would turn down STI to use the pistol that gives them the better advantage?
Why don't they all run Atlas, SVI, Akai, Limcat (won Nationals 2018) why do over half run STI? Probably because when they're at that level, they realize that it doesn't matter what gun they use, but who throws the most money at them..
My point is both pistols will be awesome and I'm sure you'll like both, so pick the one that speaks to you most because i can guarantee you, that neither will give you a real competitive advantage over the other. And if people want to argue it will, them I'm sure you wouldn't have needed our opinions in the first place!
The only real argument that can be made here is that combat Master is only available in 9mm which actually puts you at a disadvantage in limited.. but that's due to old outdated rules imo.. If you're shooting 3-gun, or just wanting to have fun then again then it's doesn't matter!
JJ shot an Atlas gun in the limited match.

I guess experiences in the field differ from thoughts on the internet. That is fine, but not crazy talk. Lots of people switch hands because it is easier to naturally aim down the length of your arm that it is to close one eye or the other, tilt the handgun, tilt your head, etc. Switching hands is easy and is no less crazy. It's as simple as pointing.
And here is some reference material: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-dominance. My favorite part: "Overall, being mixed handed seems to result in better performance than being strongly handed for sports such as basketball, ice hockey, and field hockey. What these sports have in common is that they require active body movements and also an ability to respond to either side."
And another reference: https://www.targetbarn.com/broad-side/shooting-vision-cross-dominance/ which states "There are some instructors who encourage shooters to use the hand that matches their eye, or to retrain the eyes so that the eye matches the preferred hand."
And another reference: https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/blog/cross-dominant-shooter/ which states "Bill Rogers is probably the best-known proponent of this system. Bill believes it is easier to learn to shoot with your non-dominant hand than to change or overcome eye dominance. Rogers School students have reported excellent results with this method, but a lot of people are reluctant to carry their defensive sidearm on their non-dominant side. Performing all functions with the hand that has less strength and less dexterity than the dominant hand does come with some difficulties."
Not such crazy talk at all. It is easier to change hands than it is to change eye dominance.
EDIT: And Memphis, maybe you have heard of Tom Givens, isn't he out of Memphis, TN. He seems to think that it is possible to change hands instead of changing eye dominance. Give him a call and call him crazy?
Do you know what the difference is between holding a handgun in a two handed left hand grip or a two handed right hand grip? Not much other then which finger is on the trigger so just move the gun in front of the correct eye.

I have been running both on Open gun frame mounts. I think the Max is a bit better as an Open sight and will probably move the SRO to a CO gun where it seems more at home if I get another Max. Either are very good sights, assuming they hold up.
I am interested to hear why you like it better.

Hit me up

MIne arrived yesterday. I can not wait to try it.

I was able to contact him and he pointed me in the right direction.

Does any one have one of these they would sell? I just broke the lower lug off my sv barrel.

I have been running one on my open gun for the past 9 months. It has ran perfectly and the larger window and brighter dot are very noticeable. We just got approval to ship these to the U.S in the spring and we only had a few units left after that so not many people in the U.S will have one right now. There are some being run on Open guns in Canada and so far everyone has been happy.
We should have them back in stock next month!
Hiw much bigger are they then the rts?

Is anyone running one of these on an open gun?
