Competition- Prodution

To save us newbies some time and money, I thought I would just ask what are some of the gimmick items they sell to improve your Glock. I've already read were the rubber buffer was one. I would rather spend my money on ammo than try and find out it was just not needed.

Thanks

Got the results from my local match and have no clue what some of the letters stands for. I shoot Minor A=5pt B=3pt C=3pt D=1pt M= Miss NS= No Shoot so what do these mean? PR LS XS XH

Does the Glockworx ZT Titanium Firing Pin Safety really do any better job than the factory?

I'm looking into buying a sonic cleaner for brass, and thought I could drop the barrel in from time to time... any advice on this?

I don't know what kind of help you need as far as set up, but I'm willing to do anything I can.

Can we ask to be on the friday shoot? It's the same weekend as Youth Turkey Hunt and I have already promised my daughter I would take her Sat&Sun.

Dang...would be the same weekend as Youth Turkey hunt.

Just went through a solid, thorough first aid class last weekend, aimed at the kinds of injuries we could encounter on the gun range - but also in car wrecks, etc. Current theory, based on experience gained in the sandbox and elsewhere, is that the tourniquet is the first thing you do for severe bleeding. You need to know how to use it, you can't just apply it and crank it down willy nilly (because you will do damage to the limb if you do). You also add a pressure dressing to the wound. As long as the thing isn't going to be on for more than 6-8 hours, and you applied it correctly, they won't have a limb-loss issue. You don't use this for things that are not severe trauma to the limb - I mean, if a band aid, or a little pressure is good, it's good. If they're spurting blood out all over the place, or the bloods just running out of them like mad, you have severe trauma. Even Wikipedia notes a current study that shows that "Analysis has shown that in cases of major limb trauma, there is no apparent link between tourniquet application and morbidity of the limb." Again, correct application is key, here. Learn how to use it before you go doing it to someone in the field. Realize that proper application of the QuikClot gauge products (they're only useful for packing the wound, in the end) amounts to practicing medicine without a license (any invasive procedure - which includes sticking anything inside of anyone... for medical purposes... - is practicing medicine!). Be prepared to deal with the consequences if you are not a doc! Same goes for darting someone's chest to relieve pressure from tension pneumothorax... You better not screw either thing up if you decided to do them to someone else... They didn't give us any of the quick clot....they proberly knew better...don't give a Infantryman anything more advanced than a MRE heater!

...and the best part I still get to Laugh My Arse off at my older brothers who where into disco...it took many years before I think they got their Man Cards back.

Any slots open? Tom, Last I heard we had 3 slots left. Email Paul Hernandez directly as he is the man with the plan. He does not look on here much if ever. Kevin Thanks..I just emailed him...whats the class cost???

It is quite a drive. Especially for an indoor match. By far the main reason I won't do it is getting down through Cincinnati in rush hour traffic. I'll have to get up there some Monday to shoot with you fine men.

I heard the did pistol competion at Bud's, so singed up for a few lessons from Cory Estill. He walks you through each step and teaches you to be a better shot. had to laugh at myself... I think my sight are off, Cory put two on the target touching. So for me the best tip: Get a good teacher and learn from them so you don't make mistakes that cost you points. most of all have fun!

You only want to apply direct pressure to a wound, you put a tourniquet on a limb-you stop the blood flow, but will most likly lead to it having to be removed. Of course getting help fast is #1.
