    If it's a level 1 match then they can basically do what they want. If their stages suck then people will eventually go somewhere else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Got it, we won't get all of the information. This is a wonderful opportunity for us all to twist the story to fit our own prejudices and experiences so that we look righteous while accomplishing nothing. Continue! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Completely subjective. What some people let their 10 year-olds watch, hear, and do would make the suggestion that elicited this response look like a kindergarten lesson. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    By "disruptive" do you mean "causing the match to run smoothly and quickly"? Maybe just ask the competitor to be nicer when calling out the lazy shooters? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    From USPSA App D8: No magazine couplers allowed, magazines must be carried on the belt or in apparel pockets. See rule 5.2.4. No restriction on location on the belt. No thigh rigs or tie down magazine holders. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Uh, negative. Most of us agree with you, especially the more experienced ones. One of the things we seem to fight repeatedly in my area (where often setup is by volunteers) is the '50 yard partials with no-shoots' stages because "I wanted to slow those fast guys down". Well guess what, the "fast guys" all still kicked your a$$ and you caused almost all of the new guys and C or lower shooters (including yourself) to zero a stage. Nice work.

    I think the OP covered most of these butt hurt comments with "every shooter has to eat the same sh!t sandwich" but the thread keeps getting twisted into "it was so hard my vag aches" by one poster in particular. Good discussion for the most part, and what I think the OP was asking was "is it fun?" as, even though I want to beat everyone there, I better have fun shooting the match or I probably will think strongly about not returning to the next match no matter my level of success.

    I read that he was concerned/curious about more than just one stage and from MD standpoint wonders how other shooters feel about the match so that he can adapt his own offerings to better align with what shooters want....but I could be WAY off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I don't take the OP's intent on this thread to be "change the game to fit the elite" as much as "make sure the game doesn't just become lop-sided on the side of difficulty OR speed". I didn't shoot Lim or Open Nats so I can't speak about the stages but I HAVE shot matches that were so much of a grind that I didn't enjoy them much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That's what B shooters generally do, win a stage once in a while and then finish overall just above the middle of the pack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    This pretty well sums up my feelings about matches in general including those at championship level. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cleaning as necessary which will be more frequent depending on the ammo and when getting to know your pistol. I use grease when I clean and high quality oil in between at every range session. I don't pretend to have spoken to all of the builders and in fact there is one builder/assembler that DOES recommend tearing down the top end after every range session on their website. Brian Enos himself makes reference on his website to the fact that he ran his pistols for thousands of rounds without cleaning in the desert and didn't notice any excess wear or issues so he stopped worrying about it. This is what works/has worked for me for several years and many rounds in competition/practice. Also, I'm ONLY speaking about 1911/2011's used for competition. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I've worked/spoken with several custom builders of 2011's and not a single one of them recommend disassembly for cleaning after every range session...but what do they know? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No, but this is a LOT different than a combustion engine that cycles more on a single drive to the store than a pistol will in 2 lifetimes. I lube regularly and MOST of the by products created by firing the ammo I'm running are lubricative not abrasive. If I shoot in a sand storm or other dusty environment then I'll clean early, the rest of the time I won't. I have no issues with abnormal breakage or premature wear, in fact I'd bet my pistols run longer than average. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I clean the top end and frame rails every 2-4K and disassemble the bottom end once a year (spreading my competition/practice over 3 pistols that works out to about 10k), that s running coated lead bullets. I used to be a "shoot it, clean it" type but found that many times I wouldn't shoot because I didn't have/want to take the time to clean. I maintain that you can absolutely do more harm than good with improper or too frequent cleaning. Schuemann recommends inspection but NOT cleaning their bores when using quality ammo for this reason.

    I know several guys running mixed 9mm that process before they load. I run mixed 40 unprocessed brass when I load and don't have any issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I don't have any other sensors but I suppose if you didn't have too many crimped pockets you could run the primer sensor and just process rejected cases separately. This is certainly one of the MkVII advantages, swaging and sensing. I'd mount up the MBF right off of the bat. It was a straightforward setup and let's you watch everything else going on instead of looking at the bullet tray for the next projectile. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I recommend the bearing kit and guide rod upgrade from Level 10 innovations. I also installed the swaging Rod from Fast & Friendly Brass that seemed to help my priming issues. Plus you'll have a spare in the factory swaging Rod in case you break the F&FB one in a pinch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I ended up going the less expensive route with the Ammobot. I only load 40 S&W on my 1050 and the Rev 2 Ammobot has proven to be all I need and more. I think you'll like it but I HIGHLY recommend that you run the press by hand for a few thousand and make sure you have all of the kinks worked out. It took me a year and a half to get mine running smoothly enough that I trusted it to automate. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
