That's a great idea!
My buddies won't tease me nearly as much with a fish tank pump taped to my powder thrower as they do now with that pink sparkly dildo! 
......and the spousal unit will no longer be upset about her missing power tools

I switched to the TACCOM Duelin Dueces carrier this year just before the Nordic Shotgun Match and I fricken love them. Here's my review of them shortly after making the switch http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=199107&hl=
With a few more months on them now I can honestly say my opinion has not changed in the least.

The XDM frame I put it in is completely stock. It is a XDM 4.25 9mm. No work has been done on it. I have not tried it yet on my Canyon Creek enhanced XDM 5.25 40s&w for USPSA Limited competition.
Good Luck And Be Safe!!!
Hmmmm. Would be curious to see how that goes. My 5.25 has the PRP trigger.

I got mine:
Used it at a small local Steel Challenge match and it worked without any issues. Not a single glitch. I ran it with CCI Mini-Mags.
The only thing I didn't like were the sites. Probably because I'm not use to Glock sites.
Can't wait to take it out again.
Good Luck And Be Safe!!!
Holy Crap!! They're here.....For real????
Have you done any trigger work on your XDm or is it stock?

For a budget 1000 yard scope I'd recommend the Sightron SIII 10-50X.

I agree with everything Mr Miller said. For me traveling to a major 3gun match is a significant investment, monetarily as well as time away from work and family. I go to shoot the match, not go sight seeing and scoping out the local shopping mall.

Scroll down........it's still on the first page

I'm running it with an adjustable gas block, full weight BCG and a carbine buffer with 1 weight removed. No reliability issues what so ever. I've shot 3 matches with it now. Eventual plan is to switch to a LW carrier and buffer.

I have a VDI 16.5 Ultralight on one of my rifles and like it.
-
Not saying that it's impossible to happen, but with a clean and properly functioning rifle it's extremely unlikely with a full weight carrier.

I just recently drained about my 20th 8 lb jug of H335 loading .223. Every one of them loaded with CCI 400 primers. From winter coyote hunting at -20ºF here in MN to scorching summer heat, never been a problem.
You're lucky you didn't have a slam fire.
The only time I've heard of slam fires becoming an issue is with a lightened reciprocating system where bolt velocity is increased. I've been reloading rifle ammo for AR's since I was 16 and if I do the painful math that would be 22 years of loading with CCI 400's. I did dabble with 450's several years ago, but saw no appreciable difference in velocity deviation or accuracy. In all that time I have never had a slam fire. So I guess in the same respect, I'm lucky I haven't been struck by lightening either.

This is one movie that I've yet to hear anybody say anything negative about. Like almost all movies though, I'll be patiently waiting for it to be released on DVD.

I've also found Hornady to be the most accurate 55 gr FMJ bullet.

No experience with the Giraud. I won a WFT at a match about 4 years ago and it's been great. I've probably trimmed 20K cases with it so far.

First thing is to have a heavy front rest and rear bag on a solid bench. Sounds like you already have a lead sled, while not ideal, should work fine for your intended purposes here.Next do what you can to remove the human element as much as possible. Don't lean your body into the bench and remove all contact from the rifle except a loose grip hand, your trigger finger and your stock barely contacting your shoulder. Right elbow (for a right handed shooter) should be supported on a bag or pad to minimize pulse rebound.Let the rifle free recoil. I'm not saying don't control the rifle, but don't be pulled tight into it. It's a light caliber cartridge and it's not going to go anywhere, let alone bounce out of your rest or anything like that. One thing to be aware of here is, when letting a semi-auto free-recoil it brings up the possibility of doubling via "bump fire", especially if you have a light trigger.I see a bunch of posters saying "just turn the power down", like that's going to make your movement go away. "Out of sight" does not translate to "not a factor" when shooting for small groups. Crank that puppy all the way up so you can see exactly what is happening down range. For indoor 4-position rimfire I use a 24X scope at 50'. You want to see your pulse and any other elements that are going to affect your POA/POI.

Their O-ring lock nuts suck monkey balls, other than that they are okay. Not the best on the market, but they get the job done.

Anybody watch the season finale last night. Wow!! Leftist elite taking control of the government, killing off the undesirables, all while painting the patriots as terrorists. I can't wait to see where the show goes from here.

You don't want one of the Flip down shell stops on your 3-gun shotgun and like you say it would be a total pain to take it on and off. I have one of them on my SX2 that I use for trap. Like the poster above pointed out, a simple rubber band will get the job done. Bring a few spares as they break pretty easy.
-
For a drop in unit the CMC is a great trigger, but If can do your own trigger work and want the best, it's the JP. Or send it in and have them do it for you.

So far I like it.

I've run the Aero mount on one of my rifles for a few months and through 2 local matches and it's been solid so far. I'd like to beat on it a little while longer before saying "it's the best in the world", but I can tell you my experience with it so far has been positive. Super light weight. To this point has held zero. Seems to lock up rock solid to the scope and rail. The machine work on these mounts is beautiful. Finish is nice and even.
So far there are only two negatives. First, due to the design of the rings getting the reticle leveled may take a couple tries, just like the old Weaver style rings they clamp on one side and tend to roll the scope over a little as its tightened. Not really a big deal once it get it dialed in. Second, I ordered mine about a month before they came out with the extended version and I wish I would have waited. I could use just maybe 1/4" more eye relief for it to be perfect for me. FWIW, I'm a NTCH shooter, eye relief is really up to the individual and dependent on where you stick yer mellon. The one I have has more eye relief than the Warne mounts and just a touch under the Burris PEPR mount.
I also used to run the Burris PEPR mount on one rifle for almost 3 years of service before I changed that one out for a Larue mount. Blue Ridge 2012 I was carrying my bag out the truck on our second morning and accidentally tripped the quick release buckle on my gun bag. Well it worked and my bag went to the parking lot with my rifle and shotgun in it. No visible damage and everything seemed fine and after all it didn't fall "that" far. Well long story short, I totally tanked 2 stages before heading all the way to the other end of the Rock were the zero range was to put it on paper. Sure as hell I was 2 min low and 2 min left, four clicks up and right and I was back to zero. Never moved again, till I swapped it out for the Larue almost a year later. Now in that case my POI might have moved if it my scope was welded directly to the receiver, I'll never know. I think it's a good mount, but I just never really had confidence in it after that.

Nordic Components is a great company to do business with. You can pick pretty much any length tube you want. http://nordiccomp.com/retail/shop/nc-extensions/new-nc-mxt-shotgun-extension-complete-assembly-12ga/

Just finished working with Mel on Blood Father. Still knows how to act. Solid every day on set even when sick. Miss the old days. Wish HWood would get off the serial sequel rampage and just give us quality originals for at least a decade.
IDK.....I sure would like to see a serial of "Jack Reacher"

DQ or no DQ? You make the call
in Multi-gun Rules / Stage Design / Match Administration
Posted
For the sake of discussion I believe the RO's call of a DQ was correct as it followed the rules to a T. That is the job of the RO. That said, IMHO a call to the RM should have reversed that call to a stage DQ/stage zero. The safety rules as written were broken, but in a fluke manner that in no way was this actually an unsafe weapon. There's no way a rule book can be written to cover every singe scenario that can come up in a match. That's where your RM comes into play. To act as a majistrate and determine those gray area calls. If the RM deemed this a match DQ worthy offense I would have to disagree. A mistake like this should sting, but it shouldn't end your match.
