TJ beat everyone with a gun he built for steel? He's definitely still got it!
That is an Al Zitta built steel challenge gun. TJ's USPSA open gun is the same Dawson built gun he's shot for years.

She looks a lot like an Hungarian Vizsla.
That was my thought also, especially with the description of her personality.
No matter though, rescued dogs always seem to know where/what they came from.
We have two Vizslas at the house. She's a little Vizsla-looking but I think more Doberman-mix with the pointy snout and Weimaraner the coloring .
The touchie-feely-lickie is very much Vizsla. If you wake up with her next to you under the covers, probably some Vizsla in there.
The $60 dog breed DNA tests you can get are pretty cool. My rescued "Aussie cattle dog" ended up testing as a German Shepherd - Rotty mix.

Hello to everyone,
I been doing some research on reloading, which led me here to the forum section. Right now I am only invovled in target shooting, but I would like to get involved in some stock pistol competition. Problem is I can't seem to find any competitions in my area, or i'm just not looking hard enough.
See you in the forums!!!!!
This schedule covers the NE Section of USPSA Area 7, which includes monthly matches at Manville, RI. I think we have one more match this year.
http://www.uspsa-ne.org/matches.asp?year=2010
This Sunday there is a USPSA match at the New Bedford. New Bedford has USPSA, IDPA, and Steel Challenge in the works. Saturday there is a Plate/USPSA match in Foxboro, MA at Independent (www.independentclub.com). Independent is very beginner friendly.

The first step is getting used to them.
The second step is figuring out how to wash out the stink.
I'm still working on the second step. Actually, I have a couple toes that were bent in ways they weren't intended and it has put my VFFs on the sidelines for a while.

In terms of programs, there are plenty of them out there. Catalyst Athletics puts out a daily Oly lifting oriented workout.
The Catalyst site Jake mentions is www.performancemenu.com. It's awesome. The forum is really good.

Bravo to Dan and the rest of the team that put this match together. It was a really fine job, better than many of the Area matches I've attended. Nine outstanding field courses (and a rather technical 8 round "speed" shoot), all with multiple solutions; no gimmicks, just a nice variety of shooting challenges (with here and there an opportunity for a bit of athleticism). Well done folks!
Fantastic shooting Elye!
Really good match. Great mix.

oooppss. just wanted to point something out that I goofed up on above. Like the other poster said it is still a direct impingement gas system. NOT an op rod, like I mentioned above. Looking at the pictures from Fortier's article, the Para TTR has a bolt carrier group that just has a realllly loooonnnnggg key. it fits over the gas tube, under the picattiny rail between the handguard gap.
"The LR-300 or the new TTR-Para rifle is a (DIGS) (delayed impinged gas system) meaning the gas is picked up from the barrel port and goes through the delay travel in the gas block and down the gas tube that intercourses the hollow op-rod and exhausts out the ports in the carrier. - Allan"
I learned more about working on guns in one day at Aldo's shop than I did in all my previous years of shooting.

Not to detour from the seriousness of theft but I'm still not buying the code capturing business. Late model vehicles do use a rolling code system, they have for quite a few years. Basically, the code your remote uses to lock/unlock the car is a one time use code that was randomly generated in sync with the vehicle. Recording that code is useless for further use. It is the same technology that BMW and Mercedes Benz use in their transponder-based ignition, which have yet to be shown to be defeatable.
We're in the automotive forensics business, if anyone has actual details on the procedure, contact me at www.sdlyons.com. In all seriousness, we'd gladly pay for the information and put it to good use.
Again, so sorry to hear about all the stolen stuff.
-
And I'm pretty sure he said there wasn't any sign of entry. Like Bill said I wonder if these thieves have some new technology that can transmit the same signal that remote fobs do. It's just a frequency of some sort like a radio station. All they would have to do is be sitting there to pick it up when you hit the lock and/or unlock button and then I'm sure that reproducing and transmitting that signal can't be that hard with modern technology. They'd need seconds, not minutes to open your car without breaking a thing.
Anything is possible. However, all I do is look at auto thefts for insurance companies and we look into all that sort of technology constantly, and haven't heard of that. Fast, easy to use mechanical car-opening tools for most anything are easy to get and they don't leave marks.
That just sucks. Just a nightmare to hear about that.

The Olympics had me amped up to ski again too. Since I left Vail and moved back east though I just can't get into it like I did there.
You just don't know how good you have it in Co until you leave!

Flex is right there was no hole, just multiple avenues to explore. A good freestyle stage.
Not taking the cans wasn’t just a choice that you took and automatically benefited from it. There was big risk involved and you had to step up and shred in order to reap the reward. Also, looking at the results in Limited, you aren’t purely seeing the consequences of not taking the cans vs taking them. There was also shooting or not shooting the bonus, as well as TJ picking up a procedural when the first can he carried fell off the table.
It wasn’t unsportsmanlike, it was a really interesting and gutsy way to approach the stage.

Hmmm...our USPSA gauge + a shim ?
http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_0...x20090511x00001
There is no IPSC gauge. The IPSC rules say that the mag will be measured with a ruler, from base to the top along the back-side. So get your rulers out, and check your mags NOW. They will be measured at the match, and if found to be illegal you are shooting for no score!
So on Sunday the mags for the IPSC match are going to be measured with a ruler for sure?
I just want to double check after seeing both of the above, as well as previous mention of the feeler gauge method in some old threads I dug up (Shred mentioned the gauge plus a penny).
I've been double... triple checking all my gear and found that the two manners of measurement don't exactly correspond. My bigsticks fit in the USPSA gauge with space to spare yet I can't fit 1.25mm of feeler gauge shim in there. Yet when I stand my mag up and lean it against a nice upright metal ruler (like the rule book photo) I'm right at 17cm with the top of the back edge of the lips with the naked eye. The difference seems to be in how the gauge holds the mag tube flat against those raised pads and accounts for the bottom angle of the base pad.
Thanks!

when I run out of Wolf I'll be using S & B primers.
I had much more problem with the S & B primers - had 20 - 30% not
go bang in my TruBor 9mm major - works perfectly with WW primers
and 99% with the Wolf. Doesn't like the S & B's.
Jack
I've had pretty much the same experience with respect to S&B, Wolf, and WW primers in my Open gun.

got to fluid.com
Is that the website you meant?
I'm thinking it is www.livefluid.com
-
I was going to post a question as to whether people have had the same experience with the S&Bs. I tried 100 of them in Supercomp and had 4 not go off. Much better than you experienced but ruled them out in my book for match use, they'll be for practice only. Mine were seated deep on my 1050 and my mainspring is light (16# or 17#?).

It is kind of funny, before seeing this thread I had forgotten that I had ordered a Mika holster on February 17th. I haven't gotten it and haven't heard anything since.
Thanks for the reminder, just sent an e-mail to see what's up.
In my case, my e-mail was responded to immediately followed by a shipping confirmation.

I have some holsters and mag pouches that I bought through MLE Shooting Sports. Check Mike's store out throught the dealer's forum:
http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showforum=171
I don't know if Doug of TKW is making holsters anymore.
Whats, your thoughts on them?
I don't have much to compare to because it is the only Kydex product I've used but I think they are great. The holsters are as quick as anything.

Haha, if that's true, then i'm really thinking about working on my Hobbit feet, and shooting barefoot
Well you could always wear these and look like a hobbit:
Those are the most ridiculous things I have ever seen
Foot gloves or floves for operators !!
Do they come in Tactical Black (like a ninja) ??
Yeah, mine are black.

You can also take the rings and raise them to do your push-ups with your feet in the rings. The higher your feet are, the harder they get. It can be sort of a progression to the handstand pushup.
There is a book called The Naked Warrior by Pavel and it has a lot on pushups and what adds difficulty. He is big on the one arm push up.

I'm no Boudrie but we use Symantec Backup Exec and a High-Rely backup drive system.

Hmmmmmm...
Over the years, we have seen quite a few posts about new brass without primer flash holes (and other defects). It sure isn't limited to any one caliber of brass.
I was joking that the specific qualities of strength and hardness inherent to Hornady TJ by design probably led to a bent pin, and other brass might have let the pin punch its own flash hole.
Not to get too far off topic of stoppages, thinking about it, that instance of TJ having that malfunction Missoula could have been an ok safety stoppage. He had a primer go off, a gun not cycle, and a belief that a round didn't go down range. When you have those things, you're justified in believeing that there was a good chance of a squib. If you think there is a good chance of a squib, stop.
-
I'm with you Flex, that's why I didn't understand. Now I know why the de-capping pin didn't punch out the primer hole since he removed it.
The irony is that if it was anything other than Hornady .38TJ, the pin probably would have gone right through. From what I understand, it is particularly hard brass.
What open gun is this
in Open Pistols
Posted · Edited by GTOSHootr
It is in .38TJ and built by Al Zitta. If you go to Facebook and "Like" Todd's page you can post a question and Todd would probably tell you about the gun.
