Nnnnnnnnnno.

I have the diamondback on my Sierra. It is the cats butt. You can easily remove one section by yourself in about 10 seconds. The accessories available are awesome. I have the two side boxes. Mine is also linexd black. Well worth the money to me

Body build has a lot to do with how much faster you will be with a race holster. I am all legs with a short torso and long arms. Racemaster is MUCH faster for me. I don't have to lift the gun as high to clear the holster. Barrel length comes into play also. 6" gun will generally be faster from a race type.

You dont. You make sure the primer slide is clean and you can add a little graphite. Put the primer slide all the way forward like it would be if you pulled the handle down. Put the primer slide arm actuator down and run the toolhead down and make sure the arm is in the slot on the primer slide. Bottom it out and then lift it up a little bit. Lock down the screw. Now run the handle a couple of times. The slide should be smooth. If it is not, then adjust the arm up a little bit until the arm quits "snapping" back and forth and it smooth. You will learn the sweet spot after a while.
That is it....No arcane magic or chicken blood required....

Actually you can "adjust" it a bit. Mine runs better if I clock the actuator arm a bit towards the powder measure. If I run it at 90* off the primer slide, the slide with just kiss the pin as the press rotates into position. Proabably something else worn causing this but it works.

So just wondering how these sights are going. I'm looking at putting one on but need reliability as it's hard to send it back to USA from Australia for repair
They are still crapping out on a regular basis. Including the latest greatest version with the new boards.

I think it depends on which day of the week these presses were built. One of my 1050's HATES Winchester and loves CCi. Both will load Federal just fine.

The things I notice...
1. You are going slow. I mean that, really slow. MOVE!
2. as noted above, your weak hand movement is killing you.
In dryfire at first, concentrate solely on your weak hand. Your strong hand knows what to do.3. Move! Your hands should explode at the START or the beep. Not the middle.

You should call bullshit on yourself.
http://www.thegunzone.com/10v40.html
I'm going to call bullshit here; do you have first hand experience with this phenomenon? The case in definitely not driven forward when fired.It will work for a couple shots but the extractor should blow off.
I do have experience shooting 40 in a 10 with no adverse effects on function or accuracy. I haven't fired tens of thousands of rounds this way, but I have talked to shooters on this forum who have shot that many rounds of 9x19 in a 9x21 barrel with no problems.
That being said, the real risk is that the rim slides in front of the extractor and your stage is over.
Not really a necessary response. You posed BS and got called on it. Now you appear to be doubling down on your mistake/ignorance.

Hello: The only guy I know of that zeroed a stage at nationals and still won was Max a couple years ago. Not sure if he could do that now. If you do buy another pistol make sure they both make major with the same ammo. Thanks, Eric
You are correct about nats. I just talked to Ben. It was Max at the 09 nats. He zeroed a short and still won the match. Ben's was an area match.
-
And you'd be wrongI am pretty sure Ben zeroed a stage at nats last year and still won the national championship.
**** In fact, if he would have zeroed any one stage, he would have lost the National Championship.
I may be wrong on it being at Nats, but he in fact did zero a stage at a major and still won. I will tell you the exact match in a few.
-
To say that a match is lost because a gun breaks is no where close to true. It really depends on where you are in the standings what, type of stage the gun breaks on, and what type of match it is.
You can certainly zero a short course at and Area match or Nats and still win your class.
I am pretty sure Ben zeroed a stage at nats last year and still won the national championship.
Yes, a back up gun is a must if shooting major matches. If it weren't, the top guys wouldn't have them.
-
Experience. Those HUGE field courses with eleventy billion targets will shrink the longer you shoot. Before long you will know where every target is, hidden and not. Break the stage down into sections. Trust me, this part gets easier.

But of pistol must come above belt for production and limited. Dropped and offset holster allowed within this limit. Also must be within 2" of inner b
I believe you mean Production and SS. Not Limited

Signed up. Wouldn't miss this one.

Personally I do not like the Flip, Catch routine. I am sure that there have been a lot of uncalled DQs on people doing this. My 'routine' Droop the mag to my left and and pocket and then rack teh round out onto my hand, verify clear, shot the RO, point the gun downrange and drop the hammer. Then holster. I know it takes no more time and frankly is in my NSHO much safer than flip and catch.
So.... based on nothing more than your speculation and opinion, I should not flip and catch. I should rack the round into my hand which based on my opinion and speculation is unsafe. Correct?

Can you show me the rule that supports your claim? The one I posted above does not appear to.
One of our local clubs has some pits that safely allow far more than 180 degrees, especially if you take into account the different positions (essentially multiple small bays connected by a central corridor).
However, I think in the above example, as described by the poster, it's hard to imagine being able to shoot the lower right targets legally from the end position. Unless I misunderstand, it appears you would be shooting them from behind. Being able to shoot the *same* targets from both sides doesn't seem like it could possibly be safe.
Please show the rule.
There have been stages where 180 was not parallel to the back berm due to space or whatever. Usually, there will be a line showing the 180. We have a club with a bay with berms on all 4 sides. Stages set up in this bay tend to have a floating 180 relative to the target arrays. This is communicated to the shooters during the WSB so they know where the 180 is. Yes, there have been major matches allowing this setup in this bay at this range.
10.5.2 If at any time during the course of fire, a competitor allows the muzzle of his handgun to point rearwards, that is further than 90 degrees from the median intercept of the backstop, or in the case of no backstop, allows the muzzle to point up range, whether the handgun is loaded or not (limited exceptions: 10.5.6).
You can only have ONE "backstop", which defines what is uprange and downrange. That is generally the back of the shooting area. It is IMPOSSIBLE under the rules to have a course that allows more than a 180 degree field of fire.
Negative. What is the backstop runs at and angle to the start position. Many ranges have bays that have floating 180's

9major vs 38S/SC is VERY regional. I don't know a single person shooting a 9. We all shoot SC in SC.

Backup gun with unfinished SS grip...

Here is mine with the standard texture in SS. I love it.

$129 to rebody in aluminum.

I've always found it interesting that shooters who would have a heart attack over somebody dropping the slide on an empty chamber of their race guns, think nothing of dropping the slide doing the flip & catch?
Huh?

Mine needed quite a lot of love to get it on. I am using a pretty old frame though.
