Welcome!

I actually found out that Double Alpha sells a different mounting system that allows you mount the holster to the belt with out the drop offset. And the best part is the fix is less than $15.

What is it about your current holster that you think is unsuitable?
If I have to go prone on my strong side I would rather not lay on DOH.
The current holster I've been using is the Double Alpha PDR PRO-II. Its a great holster for Production and SS but I just feel the drop offset will end up getting in the way.

What holster is best suited for 3 Gun?
I have been shooting USPSA for about 9 years and just recently started shooting a few multi gun matches. I have found that the drop offset holster that I've been using for production isn't the most ideal set up. The few matches that I have attended the other competitors were pretty "Timmy tactical" so I really don't have a good idea of what serious competitors are actually using.

Best of luck! my advice....
shoot what you have and have fun
Go slow until you’re comfortable
Wait to buy gear until you know what you want
Don’t buy cheap gear, it will only cost you more a few months later when you upgrade
If you’re in the North Texas area by chance, I’m happy to introduce you to some of my new friends I’ve met shooting down here...

A bit later, I'm hooked and I've moved into USPSA. Now shooting my current XFive Legion in Carry Optics. It was the second stage of the day once again. I had my stage meticulously planned out. Shot my first array, reloaded (never noticing something was different), bang, bang, lock back. That day I learned that it's important to reload your magazines in between stages so that they have more than 1 round in them.
Been there and done that...So the morale of the story is to never put empty mags back on your belt. When rounding up mags after a stage them in your pocket, range, etc. but never put them back on your belt.

I have the CED range bag which if I'm not mistaken is the same as the shooter's connection or very similar. I used the CED range bag with Dillon boarder shift ammo bag it fit nicely in the compartment of the CED bag. I pretty kept everything essential in the Dillon bag that i would use on a stage such as extra mags, mag brush, ammo etc. and just leave my range bag with extra guns/parts in my truck. I used this set up for about 6 years until I picked up a medium Double Alpha backpack off of a prize table. The back pack IMO is the way to go. The only draw back of the back pack is if you shoot production or SS you might have a problem with the back pack hitting some of your mags if you don't take the mags off your belt when walking between stages.
Also, IMO some type of cart whether it is wagon, 3 gun buggy or jogging stroller is a must have if you're going to be lugging around full range bag unless you shoot at very compact range.

Use the same belt and CR speed mag pouches for SS and Production by swapping the inserts. I have never had a mag fall out in USPSA match all though I did have one fall out in 2 gun match this past weekend but was during a full on 75 yard sprint. The CR Speed pouches work great and just cant see any justification to change pouches.
Also, for SS the CR speed pouches are little easier to get the mag into the pouches when the start requires all mags on table/barrel bc insert kind of act like a mag well.

Just as the title says, what is the best way to remove the front sight? I banged on it pretty hard from the left side and it did not want to move.
Ideas?
Go to your local gun shop and pay them to press it out. I would think they wouldn't charge more than 20 bucks to remove the front sight.

No problem man, I had a batch of .40's that was out of spec. I had been shooting those bullets for years with no problem. But switched to a new gun about the same time I received a new batch and I was blaming the new chamber and throat for being to too tight... I even went as far as to have the throat reamed. I was pretty chapped once I figured out what was actually going on.

I have a different brand of 124's tho, that plunk at a slightly longer length. Perhaps I'll take 100 of those out to the range next time I go.
.
That's what I would do. I have ran into couple of bad batches of projectiles over the years and from my experience it will drive you bat s#!t crazy trying to figure problem.

Just now, motosapiens said:
definitely not. like I said, i've been loading these bullets for a long time.
It might be a bad batch of bullets. Call the manufacture ask them if anyone else has been having the same issue.
-
are you shaving the coating off in the reloading process by not putting enough flare in the case mouth?
-
I carry all your typical stuff like spare parts, springs, mag brush etc. but I also carry a trauma kit in range bag.

I have always understood that dropping the slide on an empty chamber was bad for the sear (at least on a 1911), so it has seemed to me that most (if not all) instances of a flip and catch are, effectively, dropping the slide on an empty chamber.
I have heard that as well. But I'm not sure if it is actually true or not.
It's really no worse than running a gun dry with a disabled slide lock.

Use Carburetor or break cleaner instead of fancy gun cleaner. Just be careful around polymer bc it will melt some polymers.

I carry either a sig P238 or M&P Shield but I manly shoot in SS.

Being a Lefty with large hands and shielded safeties. To show clear I use the front cocking serrations but I come up from the bottom of the gun so that my hand doesn't cover the ejection port.
I too have witnessed Forty Face, its some scary s#!t.
New guy!
