    Eight shooters not much help at Area 6 match

    Another opinion, I suppose some would say a "red dot" would give you an advantage? My eyesight wants/needs the "red dot" versus the open sight (even with the fiber optic version). USPSA likes their "rules" which are supposed to level the field???. In ICORE I must shoot "open" because of the "dot". There are many more USPSA match's in my area than ICORE match's that I don't shoot because I'd be in the "open" class...... Remove the "red dot" ban and you would see many more revolver's at a USPSA match...... IF there is an advantage the "Boys" would soon have "red dots" on their revo's.....AND you will see more revolver shooter's in USPSA. HA!!!! .... Call it carry optics revolver?, what's another class in USPSA????... They do it all the time..

     

    If you added red dots to revolvers, around here we would go from one revolver shooter to the same revolver shooter with a red dot.  

    9mm or 38S better to convert to 38SC?

    I have a question. Is there any functional difference between the rimless supers? Sc, rl, tj. Other than headstamp?

     

    my understanding is that super comp, rimless, and Todd Jarrett are all just rimless super but I wonder why starline bothers to still make them all. 

     

    TJ is pretty much cut down 223 brass.  The rim is slightly smaller and the case volume is a little less due to the base of the brass being thicker and in theory stronger.

    Uuuuuh supercomp is ALL starline brass bro, welcome to the world.

     

    I shoot matches with Scott occasionally and he is fulla shit... he picks up maybe 10% at matches. I pick up more of his brass for him than he does, though he does RO and help out with the match. Super guys love super and nine guys think they are saving money... and the world keeps turning. All I know is #9problems don't happen when you shoot super. See my first post in this thread for #9problems. 

     

    Yeah but when you and 5 other people pick up my brass, I get most of it back.  LOL  STOP GIVING AWAY MY SECRETS!  Now everybody will be doing it.

    In what world is it questionable? It is an undisputable fact that 9 major is cheaper. "But I can shoot my 38 brass eleventybillion times, then it is the same cost as buying once fired 9mm!!" Except that you don't have to EVER buy a piece of 9mm, so it can't ever be the same cost.

     

     

    Lol.  That is the same old tired line.  Exactly how many people get all their 9mm brass for FREE?  Very few unless they are picking it up on the range.  Oops.  I thought you guys hated picking up brass.  Without exception every 9major shooter I know pays roughly $30/k for brass.  None of them pick up a single piece at a match.  So they pay .03 per shot in just brass.  I pick up 90% of my brass at matches and load them until they split, at least 15-20 times.  You do the math. 
    Not to mention all the blown case heads and time spend sorting brass by head stamp, dealing with crimps, stepped brass, yada yada yada.  You can have all that 9mm brass. :)

    I think Max is sponsored by C-More as well. Shooting an RTS2 on a Sig gun would make both sponsors happy.

    The only reason 9major exists is to save money and even that is questionable.  If 38 SC brass was the same high availability and low cost as 9mm brass, 9 Major would not exist.  You made an excellent choice going with SC.

    i don't think i've ever been to a match that offered anything to HOA. is that really a thing? if it is, it's retarded.

     

     

    Not that I am aware of either.  That is why I asked the question.  It's all silly.  I don't even think PCC has been HOA in a real match.  

    What brands 9mm 124 gr JHP's are you using?

    I'm currently shooting MG 124gr JHP bullets... 

     

    I've heard that your PD bullets contain more copper than MG...  and that the copper reduces friction in the bore letting PD JHP's run faster (higher velocity than MG) with the same amount of powder...  Is there any truth to that?

     

    In my open guns, PD run about 20-25 FPS faster than MG's.

    It made a pistol into a carbine and didn't require a year wait for a stamp. :)

    I am sorry you guys have been somehow missed in the communications.  I will talk to Jay about improving that side of things.  Many things are already in the works to make this better.  
    Regarding ship dates, MK7 works very hard to only release products that are only 100% ready for the consumer market.  This may not be rocket science but in some aspects it's pretty close.  Mk7 is actually inventing new products.  When there is a new concept in the works we get excited and want to let folks know what is coming.  Sometimes we hit it on the projected timeline, sometimes we aren't happy with the product and delay the release so that the end user WILL be happy.
    Also please remember, Mk7 is still a young company that has experienced tremendous growth in a very shot period of time. We have growing pains just like all young companies.

    We thank you for your support and helping us achieve that success.  Without our customers none of this is possible

    I think as time goes on, you will see more people move to the 3G style carts with rifle racks.  Guys around here are mounting scabbards on the DAA range carts that hold the guns muzzle down in a vertical fashion.  Seems to speed things up considerably

    maybe most GM's actually enjoy practicing, so there would be no benefit to shooting rifles at pistol matches for them. ;)

     

    what's amusing is how easy it is to wind up the rifle guys, like they feel guilty or something. I've been making fun of open (welfare open and real open) shooters and revolver shooters for years, other folks have been busting on singlestackers, and no one really cares, but make a couple jokes about people taking up rifle because they are lazy to get good at shooting a pistol, and all of the sudden it's like a democrat party sit-in, where people try to outdo themselves with hurt feelings and offense. It's like they want to use the wrong bathroom or something.

     

    I think PCC is fun in the off  season, just not something I would want to do at majors.  It is virtually impossible for me to switch back and forth from open to PCC so it will be a winter time thing I will play around with.  Pcc is fun but pistols are way more funner.
