Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. I've seen different vendors doing the custom molded earplugs at various big matches, I just can't stomach their prices, especially after having a great experience with Radians and Decibullz (and knowing how much did Costco charge while they were still doing custom molded earplugs). The only thing I don't like is that the Radians seem to be a dirt magnet, so I'm wondering if anyone knows what do the commercial vendors use to apply the transparent protective coat on the expensive ones? Thanks!
  2. I've tested the 2018 Kadet kit on my Shadow 2 a few weeks ago and with the 11lb (I think, it was one down from the stock Shadow 2) mainspring I did have light primer strikes on Federal, Remington and Winchester -- about 2-3 per hundred. Didn't have the time to put back the stock mainspring, I'd imagine it would work just fine like it did for @MsDV8.
  3. Thank you for your reply. Yours is Mk12, with two takedown tabs, not the trigger-guard style takedown, right?
  4. Hello, I have a question for Grand Power X-Calibur Mark 12 (the one with two tabs for takedown, not pull trigger guard down takedown) and the DAA PDR PRO II holster owners -- does the X-Cal fit well? I've just received my DAA PDR PRO II for X-Cal and it looks like it's been moulded/sized for the smaller frame Mark7 gun rather than the larger Mark12. I'm soliciting feedback from the others to see if I should: 1. Fix the holster with the new rubber grommets 2. Return it for exchange 3. Return it for refund PS. I know Red Hill Tactical makes a superb holster for X-Calibur and I have one as well, but for this specific purpose I need the DAA one.
  5. A lot of fellow Canadian IPSC shooters install the +2 adaptor on their Mecgar magazines to facilitate reloads. As there's no box in IPSC it's fine outside of US. I'm not sure if the combo would fit in the USPSA box tho. Anyone has actually tried/measured that? PS. I've tried googling, there're too many irrelevant results. Thanks!
  6. Help me out here gentlemen, I'm still on the fence wherever I should fly or drive to a match in US (from Canada). It's going to be a very long and boring drive, but I'll get to bring all my toys with me and the time spent travelling is NOT a constraint for me. My problems with flying are: 1. Either very short (1 hour) connection or an overnight stay in Toronto, where I'll need to clear US customs & immigration. The former is probably not enough time the latter is an extra expenditure on the way. 2. One of the more reasonable flights includes a connection in San Francisco on my way back home -- I'm not sure if my gun is on the CA-approved list (although all my magazines are 10-rounds) and don't want any problems with the local LE. Is this going to be a problem? When flying to matches within Canada, people sometimes mail their guns and ammo (thru separate carriers) to themselves, address of the hotel where they'll be staying and it's cheaper/less inconvenient than flying with the firearm/ammo. So I have a (maybe naive) question -- do all inter-state firearms shipments have to be to/from FFL or can I mail the gun/ammo myself to myself? Myself to an FFL? Any tips/suggestions?
  7. FWIW PractiScore is not the only multi-platform app which has different feature set on different platforms. I totally see Eugene's point on implementing activity and match result files generation on Android, especially that the 3rd gen iPod touch can be had second hand on ebay for $20-$30 and it can run PractiScore which has this feature. PS. Was EZWS developed under contract from USPSA? As in paid contract?
  8. When I ordered my X-Cal, the new serrated trigger (and sport safety levers) was an upgrade, so I believe I still have the stock parts. I can assure you, the new trigger is better. Although I can't remember if the stock trigger I have would be metal or plastic. Any chance you're going to Production Nationals this year? I can bring the stock trigger there so you can try it (ideally on your backup gun).
  9. I actually managed just well with the old iPod. I was about to post it for sale on CL for like $30 (don't like things collecting dust) but I'll put it to use now. We use practiscore.com for sign-ups, it's much easier to sync all registrations from the web-site via WiFi than to deal with import/files, etc. But anyways, I just checked in my iPod and I see options to generate both webfile.txt and activity report, I think I'll be using that from now on.
  10. Thanks, when I've searched the forum I've seen one or two comments saying that the Speedtimers are the loudest. If you have a first-hand experience with them all, how *much* louder you'd say the Speedtimer 3000 is over say CED 7000? Thanks, that would certainly be an option, I'm a bit worried that it requires a wired connection tho. When we shot outside RO held it very close to the ear. Inside with CED7000 it didn't really matter, you couldn't hear it over gunshots anywhere.
  11. Sorry, I'm pretty new to match management (to a point where I have to read the rulebook again before each match), what do you mean by "iOS version can upload produce both results for practiscore.com"? In EzWS I can generate the "webfile.txt" which is essentially the match results and the <club code>-<date>.txt which is the club activity report (the one which requires payment to HQ). Can iOS version generate and store on internal memory both files? I'll need to wait for my *iPod* (sadly no iPad) to charge before I can try iOS PractiScore on it.
  12. When I created the classifier stage in PS-Android last time and imported stages into EzWS the classifier stage was not properly imported as classifier, I've had to set it up as a classifier in EzWS.
  13. And I was banging my head against the wall failing to find that feature in Android version, now I know why! Can iOS PractiScore generate both match results file *and* activity report? I've had on occasion fix the classifier stage as the proper classifier in EzWS after importing data from PractiScore, does the iOS version properly identify classifiers as such? What are the iOS requirements for the PractiScore? I have a very old iPod I haven't used in ages, it's probably on iOS 6.x (if not 5.x) -- would PractiScore work there?
  14. After having shot 99-40 (4-string 4-seconds par time classifier shot at 15', 30', 45' and 60') outdoors and barely hearing the timer there it turned into a complete disaster trying to run this classifier indoors. We had to toss out the stage halfway thru the 1st shooter and replaced it another classifier. I really like the concept tho, so I'm wondering if there's maybe a timer which is significantly louder than the others? Or is it a tall order trying to find the timer which will be heard over the gunshots (and especially over the indoor range echoes)? 99-40 description specifically mentions audible signal for start/stop, but can it be legally changed to a visual signal? Are there inexpensive timer setups supporting visual signals?
  15. Not true. The midway bag is a cheap knock off not a clone. I'm with you on that, but I was being PC.
