Sadly I gotta go against you on this one, I know way too many "paper tigers". They constantly practice the classifier but brain freeze in courses of fire because its not their comfort zone and they aren't efficient thinking on their feet so to speak. Local matches may or may not be a quality bump, but here in AZ you're duking it out pretty hard. Kinda made nat'ls a little easier

I received confirmation of being bumped on my next IDPA classification card that was sent from "HQ" (pre-printed mind you) with all my div and class info

Without a doubt, a match bump at the bigs is the coolest ever!! I was lucky enough to bump to cdp master at the world championship with a second place, then got to follow it up with a bump to ssp master at last years nat'ls. Far and away cooler than I probably deserve.

Personally I'm running an AZ. Expert Arms FAL ( 18'' bbl w/ brake) and using that Portagese .308 ( 147gr. FMJ) surplus to good effect; of course I'm a cheap sob.

As far as the once fired brass, there is a rumor that Dillon Precision will have a screamin' deal on some soon, but don't know when, call them to find out.

A man went to the doctor with a strange complaint. "Well it's like this, Doc, when I drive to work in the morning, through the country lanes, I start to sing 'The Green Green Grass of Home.' If I see a cat, then it's 'What's New, Pussy Cat? It's so embarrassing, even when I'm asleep and dreaming, I still keep singing. Last night, it was 'Delilah,' and my wife was not amused!" "Yes, it would appear that you have the early symptoms of Tom Jones syndrome," said the doctor. "Well I've never heard of that, is it common?" asked the man. "It's not unusual...," replied the doctor.

joer, Don,t forget to check out Galco's kydex line, they seem to sit lower on the hip like the Bladetec line. Personaly I like my Bladetec, my Uncle Mike rides to high

Thanks Kurt, I appreciate the response. I wasn't sure if it would be restricted, but knowing my luck......

Since it has been brought up, I've got a question too; is a shot shell dump pouch legal? (like the one Mark @ 3gg makes)

rmills is correct, however if you want to compete in ESP you can leave the steel rod in. At least that is how it was interepted to me. just my 2 cents.

O.K. Scott if I needed one more reason not to trade off that was it. Besides if Randy's out I don't want to move to the dark side like that,

Kyle, thanks for the tip on the ports. I'm still not sure that I should trade my Benelli for the Remmy, no, wait a minute I'm pretty sure I won't, no maybe, no I'm definetly(sp) sure I don't know yet, but maybe...... or not......

Ok maybe I should read the second page before I shoot my mouth off. Mark's shell holder he adopted for Big Green is a well thought out system. God bless the entrepreneur

I have a couple of questions on this. 1) did they open the gas port any to accomadate the lighter loads? 2) which side saddle are they using? is it 3g.gear or a Tac-star.
