    It saves tons of time port loaded, 1, maybe 2 seconds. Of course wasting wasting many many times that, having to clear multiple malfunctions per stage.....

    With Federal primers, and shooting the gun straight up in the air, it should work without moonclips. The 25 - 625 - 325s are that way, some will, some wont.

    Make USPSA great again.... Keep the division in the divisions.

    Taper crimp, not so bad. Roll crimp, not so good. I once loaded 1500 rounds that I had to reseat. So like a fool I reseated about 1400 of them. Only to find the new COAL still wasn't short enough and I was still getting squibs. The next time I only did a few hundred.... which I ended up still being too long and I ended up doing them yet again. lmao (Using up a big box of .356" 115gr JHPs, loaded into .38 special cases with a very light charge. Way too much empty space.)

    Now if you could tuck it up inside the pistol grip...

    I have a Series 80 gun with a great trigger. That said, it's miles easier to NOT do all the extra work just to have it not be as good as it could be if those parts weren't in there. Yes, I have removed them and added a filler blank in other guns. Better end result for the guns intended purpose.

    Most stages start with a magazine being retained by a holster. Just because there's a gun around it...
  8. cas
    I guess I need to try that? Because the silence from the manufacturer is rather loud.

    Not unless I want an 8-10 hour drive round trip for matches. Switching to 8 did more harm than good. I know 6-8 people personally who just gave it up instead.

    Only if you make it Open Revolver and give me back the six shot only division that I loved. So I guess my answer to the question asked would be no.

    I ran 100+ rounds through it yesterday, averaged one malfunction every other tube full. Nose high, nose low, lifter hang ups... not happy.
  12. cas
    Nope. What I fixed was an issue, gun's working a lot smoother now. But sadly it wasn't the problem.

    I use a gun sock all the time... because a string is a fastener. If it wasn't, my shoes would fall off.

    Dunno know if it's related... All I did was bend the end tab on the shell release lever outward just a smidgen.

    By golly I MIGHT have solved it. Sitting here with my match gun and a stock M2 on my lap, cycling shells through them, watching them, feeling the difference for two and a half hours. I realized the gun with FAR more rounds through it was the far less smooth of the two. I swapped bolts thinking that might be it. Just watching them I could see how smooth the stock gun fed compared to the other. Watching the shells rise and slide (or not slide) it dawned on me. The shell stop was putting too much side pressure on the rim of the case, cause it to rarely slide up the bolt face smoothly, more often jumping out in front of the extractor. Something to do with the interaction of the new JKC carrier, the shell release lever and the shell shop. Some gentle bending towards the shells stop made the gun feed SO MUCH smoother, and the carrier isn't dropping like before. Fingers crossed.

    Right as the rim starts to slide up the bolt face (or should be), my carrier starts to drop. Does this with the new carrier spring and the "old" one, which was less than a year old.

    When someone gets a chance, can they check out their gun? I'm still working on my nose dive jam. (new carrier spring didn't help) I'm working side by side with two guns, one with the factory carrier, one with the JKC. Working the bolt extremely slow, on the factory parts the carrier comes up, stays up, and the bolt pushes the shell forward. On the gun with the JKC parts the carrier comes up, and when the bolt starts to come forward, the carrier drops a little. This seems to be allowing the base to kick up and the nose to dive and jam into the mouth of the magazine tube. I know working it slowly is not the same as shooting it, but it does it slow or full speed. So I'm wondering if they all drop a little, or if something is off with mine. (by "dropping" I mean the shell is pushing the carrier down. It doesn't do it with an empty gun)

    In what way? I seem to have solved my hanging up half way, bolt issue by swapping around some parts. But cycling rounds by hand I'm still getting many malfunctions, often the last shell in the tube, where the shell is nose diving, or hitting below the barrel. Usually that means you need a fresh carrier spring IIRC, but mine is fairly new and still getting nose dives.

    I used to switch divisions/guns every month. Had tons of fun. Then I followed the "stick with one gun to get better line" and had a lot less fun. So I shot a lot less.
  20. cas
    I learned this evening that it will jam even without a shell in it! If I work the bolt slow enough it hangs up like this. It certainly looks to me like the carrier comes up higher than stock. Combine this hitch with nose high shells and it's easy to see why it would choke. Up side so far is, putting the trigger group into another gun, it doesn't hang up. I can feel a point of some resistance, but nothing like above. Hopefully it's an issues of stacking tolerances and intermixing some parts will solve it. (yes I know they all hang up there a little there, this is more so than normal)
  21. cas
    It's not malfunctioning doing it's "trick", it's doing it during normal cycling.
  22. cas
    It's turned my gun into a choking machine. 8 malfunctions in 65 rounds. Prior to this it had 5 malfunctions in 9 years of matches. I guess I've got some tinkering to do.
  23. cas
    Was thinking the same thing. Might be a good long term investment.
  24. cas
    For me, USPSA made me a much worse shot. Sloppy, undisciplined... lazy shooting.

    I would think random prize drawings are probably better for the people donating the prizes. (giving the the products to the same people and their circle of friends over and over is a smaller market exposer) Random draw is a door prize, unrelated to the match. I have won some money at matches, I didn't really expect to, so the prize wasn't why I signed up. But there have been larger matches where I thought "Dang that's a lot of money, I dunno.... but who knows, I could win a gun." (like buying a lottery ticket, you're spending $2 to daydream. Match fee and raffle ticket in one, provides some incentive to register for many people. I've seen the same people who say they don't care about the prize, don't go for the prize, complain about the prize or lack there of. Those 8-12 guys can do that on their own without involving the rest of us. Which is exactly how that would end up.
