  1. My press is in the garage, so I don't want to leave the powder in it.  And I generally only load every couple months or however long it takes me to empty my ammo can (2500ish rounds of 9mm).  If my press was in my air conditioned house, I might do what Moto is doing.

    Take your powder measure inside the house, no need to empty it. 2 minutes tops.

    You go from generically talking about Tungsten sleeved barrel weight to custom builds where Akai hogs out the slide to put a larger diameter barrel in there. That is not even a fair comparison. When this thread was revived the poster was talking about getting a LIMCAT tungsten sleeved barrel over a standard bull barrel. If you don't know exactly how they are doing that (removing slight weight or not) then what is the point of your comments on slide lightening? If we are comparing apples to apples where the weight is ONLY added to the barrel by doing a tungsten sleeve, then there will NOT be slide lightening. 
     
    The fact of the matter is that 95% of shooters would NOT be able to feel a specific difference between adding more weight to the barrel vs guide rod vs frame vs magwell. This is especially true when the buzzer goes off for a stage run and they go ape s#!t crazy. The average shooter literally can't feel a 10 Power Factor difference in ammo once the buzzer goes off due to being so adrenaline jacked. Adding a few ounces of weight to a barrel or not changes the felt recoil much less than a 10 Power Factor swing, especially at Major PF.
     
    Most gun builders charge $1000 or more to do a tungsten sleeve barrel job. To me that is a crazy amount of money to pay for a "weight adding feature" that can be achieved in much more economical ways.

    I think that it would helpful for those people advocating for the sleeved barrels to tell us if they are sponsored shooters. #I pay for my own s#!t.

    Just sent this in via the contact us link at the USPSA website. Will post when I get something back. 

     

    Hi,

          Many of us would prefer to have a printed rulebook, can you tell me what the correct approach would be to politely petition for consideration of the idea? Ideally since it is something that effects every member perhaps the membership could have the opportunity to vote?

                                                                          Thank You,

                                                                                          xxxx xxxxx

    Please don’t email them from your phone [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

    That would be (360) 855-2245 from the Jitterbug.

  5. I don't own a cell phone so I need a printed copy to take to the range, kind of hard to pack my home computer into a range bag.
    I can remember when USPSA use to brag on how much money we had in the bank, are you telling me we are so broke that a rule book can't be printed for every member. 
    Why doesn't someone make an app so you can stay at home and shoot a match with your phone and send in the scores.
    The electronic age has made people weak in mind and body. Life is hard, so toughen up and live it.

    Who does not own a phone????

  6. Thanks everyone for the advice.

    Will try to be more relaxed and have more “visual” patience. I know my eyes should dictate the trigger speed but sometimes there is not much to see like in “Can you count?”, that is when the trigger freeze happens. Will try to practice more Bill drills.

    Do you have an aversion to dryfire? Not that dryfire will help you much with trigger freeze, but I find it is almost as valuable a tool as live fire.

    Not aversion, I find it boring, as such, tend to find other things to do....
