I get it. You're a "rebel". You want to shoot in a competitive sport, but don't want to even attempt to understand the rules of that sport. Your not understanding basic things like membership and Classifications shows this.
If I began shooting USPSA, I would read their rulebook. Which is quite a bit bigger than IDPA's.
People don't join a baseball league and say "I'm a rebel, so I'll run around the bases clockwise".
-
If you read the IDPA rulebook, you'll see that it's every IDPA member's responsibility to be classified.

Excellent. I picked up a bunch of that load a while back. It certainly doesn't feel like "low recoil" through an M2, but that's probably just me.
Thanks.

Yet another stupid question. Will this 12 ga. slug ammo pass muster?
I don't want to run afoul of: 2.1.All contestants are required to shoot full power ammunition in this competition.

Dimples and flutes are not factory configuration.

Pick up one of these: http://www.speedshooterspecialties.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=103_90_115&products_id=1313
The small sear spring/plunger are much more prone to sear flutter and "dead trigger".

They both appear to be OEM extractors. The MIM is newer. My rule of thumb for M&P extractors is: run them until you have an extraction issue. At that point, replace them with APEX FRE's. Sometimes they work great from the factory, my wife's M&P is still on the original extractor. 3 out of 4 of mine have an FRE.

Nice blaster!

Except for the fact that a lot of major IDPA matches require membership and classification to participate.
Of course they do. And it's not "a lot of" major matches, it's every single one of them. That's the point. It's a match requirement to be currently classified to participate in that match, but it's an IDPA membership requirement to be classified.
shoot the classifier. matches happen all the time, the classifier doesn't. it's also really the only constant with which to track your progress.
Bingo.

Most clubs follow the rules. You don't NEED to shoot a Classifier yet, but "participating in major matches" has nothing to do with being Classified.
3.19.5 I will maintain an accurate Classification by shooting a Classifier at least every 12 months. Unless a Master or Distinguished Master Classification is attained, a Match Performance Promotion has occurred in the last 12 months, or a Sanctioned Match has been completed in the last 12 months without DNF or DQ. See rule 9.2 for more details.

Yes, but I think everyone agrees that the whole point of IDPA is to make up on the fly whatever rules are necessary to penalize and drive off the younger and more skilled shooters, and those who practice more.
No, we don't all agree with you on that.
True, in a free country you are entitled to be mistaken.
And you are entitled to go through life without a clue.
That's a FTDR penalty right there for name calling. And maybe a procedural or two as well... let me check my tribe's version of the rulebook.
Your trolling skills are impressive, but no name was called.

I sprung for the Safariland 3-gun bag. I'm liking it so far.

That video is the perfect description of "Spontaneous disassembly". That's pretty funny!
-
I wish I had unlimited training time with you guys and gals...
-
This is true. Are the stock M1S90 handles and the M2's different?
-
FWIW, found out the hard way, that the fitting instructions for the front end of the barrel, in the video, PDF and in the packaging, are wrong.
If muzzle does not enter hole in slide, CORRECT area to file is the upper raised pad, from 10 to 2 o'clock, not the non existing fitting pads described.
Not sure when change in barrel shape occurred, but current barrels have a redesigned muzzle fitting area, compared to original, while breech end is unchanged.
Hopefully new instructions will be disseminated soon, before more unnecessary filing occurs

Did you contact APEX about this?
-
My problem with the stock handle is the sharp serrations. I've cut open the palm of my hand doing some manipulations. Of course, my skin ain't as flexible as it used to be either.
-
When I heard that Taran was going to train Keanu Reeves for "John Wick 2", I knew there would be good work involved. this proves it.
This isn't USPSA, there are lots of hot transitions. But that match saver move was pretty good!
-
Excellent, thanks.
-
Two shotgun questions. Will shotguns need slings? I know pistols must be worn on all stages, regardless if they are to be used. Does that apply to ammo methods of carry? I have an old school shotgun shell belt with a couple caddies on it, can I remove it when not needed?
Thanks!

The Special Olympics are very fun for some folks.
Just when I think I've seen the height of "Anti-IDPA" posts in the IDPA forum, someone comes along and surprises me.

If you use one of these: http://www.gggaz.com/hk-usp-flashlight-mounts.html
You can use Streamlight TLR's and Insight lights.
The USP uses a proprietary rail, so I think this is your only option.
Shooting classifier on a regular basis - taboo?

Wow. 9 whole matches, and a couple safety briefs. From a club that doesn't follow the rules either. You obviously know everything.
Out.
