Welcome Chris! You are in the right state for lots of USPSA shooting. Come on up to the State Championship match in Frostproof 1/15-16 if only to meet folks. -Dan

I saw one in use at my range a couple of weeks ago. The owner was very happy with it and I put in my order with Labradar the next day for an anticipated April delivery. Can I justify it? Not really...but I can say the same thing about a lot of things.

MG 121 IFP over 7.5 gr WAC 1.168. 176pf. Works my comp wonderfully.

What does your wallet say....

Shannon's Monster Match is one of my favorite matches of the year...of course it helps that Frostproof is only a 1.5 hr drive. Wife and I shot this match SS more than once which was a lot of reloads and a lot of fun - and of course you shoot in costume! We run Open these days, but still need to reload of course with 50 round stages. In any event, it's a great match to shoot if you ever have the chance.

You mean the RO can see in the chamber when you do the flip? I hate seeing the flip. And when I do I don't even pretend to be looking at the chamber. I'm watching hands and muzzles looking for a sweep or 180. I always make the shooter go back to showing me an empty chamber after the sideshow is over. ^^ This.

Hopefully it's a V3 build.

Gary - of course you need another major gun. Did you get a look at Rory or Shannon's new build from Derek at the IPSC Nats?

Happy to report that I am now several matches into the v3 RTS2s and they are both holding up. Still too soon to call them good to after having sent them back to CMore twice, but it's looking promising.

LoL....I have done that myself.

Last year I went with a Kobalt 4-cf Cement Mixer from Lowes and I could not be happier. 1 bucket of sorted brass, 2 buckets media. I run it with a cover on - took it off for the video so you can see the action. http://tinyurl.com/CMtumbler The Kobalt has an resin drum which is much quieter then a metal drum.

If a reload on the move will be needed, I would prefer to move from left to right (as a right hander) to eliminate the possibility of breaking 180 on the reload. If a reload is not a factor, then it does not matter which. I would decide on the walk-through which felt faster/more natural to me.

DAA belt, race master pouches, Manny Bragg magnetic holster.

I run Castrol Power RS 5w40 - because that's what I run in my motorcycle. If I don't have any of that laying around when it's time to fill the bottle, I usually have CLP or something else on hand. I have tried pretty much everything and personally don't think it makes a whole lot of difference.

This - don't forget to chrono your rounds if you are shooting major.

I learned from my SS days to NEVER put a mag I used on the stage back on my belt until it has been topped off. I only had to learn that lesson once.

No problems so far with gen 3.

I think that's fine Doc, just take it slow and learn. I started on a 650 and moved to a 1050 within 6 months for the same reason...volume as both my wife and I shoot. Six months after that I motorized with the Forcht conversion and added a Mr. Bullet feeder and couldn't be happier with my set-up. Oh, and the RF-100...I don't think I loaded even 10 tubes before I decided that I didn't need to be doing that anymore...lol.

^^^^^^This!

Love the Redding Competition seater. I did not need to make any crimp changes when I switched over.

I run Montana Gold 121gr IFP and my last case of $350 delivered for 3800 @9.2 cents each. Which by the way is $15 less per case than last year.

I have two Les Baer's for SS. An Ultimate Master and a PII both have run very well for me.

There are two places we always stop at when we're out at USA. Frostbite Cafe - 801 N Scenic Hwy, Frostproof, FL 33843 Jay Bees Restaurant - 8625 FL-60, Lake Wales, FL 33898

I can speak to the power as I run WAC. For primers, I run Winchester SPM.
