[Gun Cleaning Spray Alternative]

I use mineral spirits in on of those to clean guns.  Also have a small parts washer in my shop with mineral spirits.  expensive cleaners aren't necessary.  

[Is 38SC dead ?]

Shay builds 10 supercomp guns for every 9 major gun.

That is a good idea! I will do that and report back with results after 

Feel free to hit me up with any questions you may have.  Our tungsten sleeved limited guns are awesome.

"This is the way we have always done it.  There is no reason to change!"

 

I have heard this refrain in over 35 hospitals where I was retained to turn them around so they would not go bankrupt. 

 

If the change would result in a better situation then change is warranted.  Nothing wrong with becoming obsolete if the replacement is better.

 

 

 

Tell that to all the thousands of shooters with millions of dollars worth of guns.  Sorry your stuff is useless now.  "we made it better"  

 

[Interesting article in May/June Front Sight]

No.  This would obsolete 97% of limited guns and 99% of open guns.  If you were just starting USPSA it makes sense.  At this point in the game it's just nuts.  

 

[Closing the gap on A class]

Find a legit M or GM shooter in your are that will train you for a couple sessions for a few hundo.  You will gain more from that generally than you will in practice for a year

people would likely have to be swapping out the grip weight, guide rod and probably shoving other weights into the frame to get it that heavy. 

 

 

That is the point.

Ok, good to know. I'm just now setting up my X - I'll be sure to weight as I finish it up.

 

This is Alma's gun without a guide rod.  He couldn't find a stock one  25.22 oz

[P320 X5 Thread]

I think if you weigh yours, you will find Sig declared weight is grossly exaggerated.  Alma posted a pic of his gun in stock configuration coming in at 25.5 oz i believe.

I think you missed my point (and I'm missing yours). I'm not saying your gun could weigh half an ounce different depending on which scale you use.

 

I'm saying comparing your gun's weight to someone else's weight, based on a pic is probably not going to yield identical results depending on manufacturing tolerances, parts,  etc. No two guns are identical. I'm saying within a half ounce for two different guns is pretty close not knowing the variables of all the different parts in the guns, when they were manufactured, etc. 

I think you are missing my point.  LOL  A stock X5 weighs 16-18 oz LESS than the one pictured

Just now, sfinney said:

Is yours showing 43.55 oz,  if I am reading your scale right?

What's interesting, the difference?  I see different basepads... are you using the same guide rod, springs, followers... etc? Scales out of calibration? Helium in the grip?

Guns are within a half ounce of each other, on different scales.

 

Have you weighed yours?  Mine weighs the same on several scales.

Maybe this will make my "interesting" comment more clear.  Empty gun with mag inserted @alma

[P320 X5 Thread]

This is interesting

Can anyone tell me what a bone stock x5 weighs with a romeo 1 installed and a 21 round mag?  

[DQ’d. AD into a wall during transition]

• I look at the rules differently than many ROs.  I want to know what in the rules tells me that I am REQUIRED to DQ you for your action.  I don't look for a rule that fits my preconceived notion that you should be DQ'd.  

[DQ’d. AD into a wall during transition]

IMO, you got screwed.  I can't see where that should be a DQ by any of the rules.  

[Does anyone else think the Rts2 is a POS?]

I have to keep 5 on hand to keep two up and running.  

[Atlas, Akai, or CK]

Akai of course.  And Shay does have some guns in stock available for immediate shipment.   

[First match with a high end gun - Good or Bad ?]

99% of the time nobody is paying any attention to what anyone else is doing.  That and a Stock 2 at a match in my area would rank about 65th in high end guns at a match.  The amount of money we spend on gear make anything short of a $7k+ blaster "just another production gun" 
Just show up and have fun.

They gotta be the crunchy flaming hot ones, otherwise I’ve noticed some reliability issues and significant orange goo buildup in my comp which has proven to be a nightmare to clean. The only solution I’ve found was to run a couple bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers through it and it’s all good

Excellent problem solving.  Probably smells pretty tasty too.  

[Consistent movement of gun during recoil]

A solid grip is 99% of the battle for recoil control and tracking the sights.  Get to work with those CoC.  

 

[9mm Major primers??]

I bet you can set ANYTHING off with a 25# mainspring.  Probably stuff a cheeto in there and get it to ignite.
