Well, as you know it'll never be a 1911. I love my 9mm Shield. All I did was an Apex duty/carry kit and put on Trijicon HD's. I carry it almost daily.

I use a "Don's Guide Rod". Polished stainless steel.

Aliexpress is a giant cesspool of fake, ripoff, knockoff chinese garbage. There are better strategies to save pennies, like racinready described.

That is all pretty reasonable. Do you somehow make a load similar to your factory defensive round to use to get more acclimated to the recoil and such, or just shoot the gun and don't worry about it? Probably overthinking it all more out of boredom than anything, but curious nonetheless.
Yes. Right now I'm not reloading, (Or I would load my own) but I'm lucky that Federal AE 147 gr. mimics their 147 HST, which is my 9mm carry load.

What he said /\. It's a bad idea to reload your defensive carry ammo. Every defensive pistol instructor I've ever worked with has said to use factory premium defensive ammo. Low flash powder, better QC, Nickel plated brass, and if you ever use it to defend yourself you don't have to explain to a jury why you developed such an awesome "man-killer" load in your basement.

Fairly open match. Not a single bit of hard cover. No steel. No moving targets.
One challenging standards stage.
Usual issues with rain and mud and the problems they cause at this range.
No drama that I heard or saw. Lab radar chrono was good.
Congratulations Rowdy!

There is no such thing as "too much ammo" .......unless you are swimming.
Or you're on fire.

All the same. All are "extra power" firing pin springs.

You should. Around here we tend to support those companies that support our sport. Legality issues aside, it's just wrong to buy fake stuff that was obviously stolen from another company.
Last time I looked neither China or eBay have sponsored any matches lately.
Absolutely. And it's not just about supporting matches. These dirtbag chinese companies go to events like Shotshow, photograph products made by good American companies, then go home and produce crappy knockoffs to sell on places like ebay and aliexpress (a huge "crappy knockoff" site). When people have the attitude of "Who cares, anything to save a buck" they are hurting American businesses in a major way. It's gotten so bad that knockoff Magpul gear shows up for sale before it's been released by Magpul. Buy American when at all possible.

Yes, but I only have the 2.0, so wasn't sure if the original M&P was that way.
Yep, they've been like that since the beginning. But I've always put an Apex USB in mine when I first swap the sights, so it's not that big a deal to me. I generally stick with the sights I put on there, so it's a one time thing.

Why in the world did S&W design the 2.0 to require the rear sight be removed to take out the safety plunger?
Do you mean the way all M&P's are designed?

Does IDPA have a 180 rule?
Absolutely.

Yep. I haven't had a chance to run it yet with the new spring. I'm hoping that fixed it.

Try midwest. http://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi
I just replaced the same spring. Hopefully it solves the issue.

Where the best place to get the MSA sordin pros with gel cups?
The guys at SRS are good to go. Great customer service.

When you shoot the Classifier, just shoot it like a shooting test. (Don't let some knucklehead talk you into doing something wacky) Like any other action pistol sport, shoot as fast as you can call your shots and you'll do fine. My guess is you'll make expert.
I tried to find Rowdy's video of his recent Master run on the Classifier. It would be a good reference.
-
That's too bad. I incorrectly assumed that the extractor would be compatible with the 2.0's. I hope that it runs when you get it back from S&W.
-
My rule of thumb for extraction with M&P's. Run them as much as you have, and if they don't exhibit any problems they're good to go. If they do what you're describing, I drop in an Apex extractor and the problem goes away. Usually forever.
-
That's a bummer. I'm glad I shot it last year, and I hope it comes back.
-
I also find it strange that sitw states "the rules have been updated for 2017". Then in his next post he gives incorrect, outdated information. You do not have to be behind cover to reload, as long as you're not exposed to unengaged targets. The reload with retention is also gone, and can't be required in a stage. You can still do a RWR, just not require it in a stage.

I know. Just wondering why he gave it?
I guess the shooters muzzle was little high and could have been close to be pointed over the berm?
Bingo. Probably using the "top of the prop wall" reference point.
-
Yep. "Muzzle" is still a warning.
-
No. For now, Classifiers are supposed to be shot with the "current" targets. However, it's optional to use the new targets at club matches.
Question about having a backup gun
in Miscellaneous BEginners
Posted
OP, since you mentioned taking classes or training, then a backup gun is just as important. If your pistol goes down during a class, grab the backup and get back on the line. The backup should use the same mags and holster. Even though you may be able to fix your pistol, while you're doing that the class will be driving on. Fix the gun during lunch or a break, and don't miss any of the instruction you paid for.
