I have a surefire mounted on my duty 870 and it has survived for 8 years. Lots of teams using the surefires with no problems.
-
Mine is light and smooth. George at EGW did it. He left it at about 3.5 because I used it as a carry gun also. He said he could get it a lot lighter. Give him a call I'm sure he can give you the answers you need.

Must be the metric system?

Ordered the STI tactical for a duty/carry gun in .40 SW. Came in and my gunsmith told me it probably wouldn't feed factory ammo. Took it to the range and it runs like a raped ape with anything you feed it. Accurate, 100% reliable and great for dumbassed questions on why. Trigger was 3.5 lbs as requested.
-
Well definetly not the ISMI 13 pounder. Had mine F me 3 times today. Slide stay about and 1/8 th of an inch out of battery. Back to stock or a 15 lb spring.

Yep, Plastic flashlights are a one whack option. Polymer stream light replaced with aluminum problem solved.

Alright for all you that haven't figured it out yet. Tie the damn flashlight to your hand and go. They give you that nice litttle lanyard so use it. Trust it works just ask the Canadians I showed on our squad last year. Stop trying to reinvent the damn wheel already!

The surefire Z series lights are the only way to fly. I've carried one daily for 6 years and its seen all kinds of weather, been dropped, and abused.... still works great. I'm sure the plastic ones are ok for sticking in the glove box but the metal ones will take a beating for years.

Pretty damn good in a lowlight situation actually. You can center the BG up and whack him without ever loking at sights. I just don't see how for one stage a year it is worth all the debate and hooplooh. Take 5 minutes and learn to shoot with the damn light they give you, who knows it might actually save your butt one day.

You have WAAAYY too much time on your hands.

I heard there might be a ringer coming in from the western elk herd.

I tried the docter for about 2 years. It was reliable, not bright enough and tracks fun as hell compared to what you are used to seeing. Switched back to the C-more last spring and amazingly my scores started to go back up where they were before.

Ron,
BTDT. Save the problems and get the SV mags. STI's worked when I had to load long before USPSA wised up and changed the rules. Loading shorter the STI's will rattle and jam 2 rounds side by side.

LwE,
Trust me we have a guy at our club that has the same problem you do. He thinks he is going to buy his way to a win. He's on the 5th or 6th gun now. He's still getting spanked. It is so bad that the guys are trying to talk him into whatever gun they want next because it will be cheaper buying it used after 1 match when he trades it in on Mon. You can be competitive without practice depending on natural talent up to a point. Then you just start finishing as high as you can. Trust me I haven't practiced in a couple years and still finish in the top 3 at most local matches. Here is the easiest and cheapest way to solve the problem and prove to yourself that it aint the gun... ask the guy to shoot his gun in the match. When you explain that you think it is the gun he'll laugh at you and probably go along. He'll still beat you and then once and for all you'll KNOW IT AINT THE GUN!
-
Gee go figure he practices more than you and beats you. Maybe if you step around the tree in front of you you'll see the forest? It aint the gun. Once you realize that you might just beat him.
-
Coming in Sat. and shooting Sun.

I have the 16 limited LDA and used it for a couple years as a production gun and off duty carry gun. Worked fine. EGW reworked the trigger. Another guy at our club has the LDA in 45 runs 100% also.

KurtM,
In my line of work if I got pissed off everytime somebody said something bad about me or some other negative it would be a long time of being mad. I personally didn't take the article as a hit on your ability. I think you maybe reading more in to it than was intended by the writer. I took it as a scoring issue nothing more. I better quit before one of the moderators gets there panties in a bunch.
-
I read the article and really don't see what has you so upset. It was basically a discussion on different scoring methods being used more than a report on the match. The part about the rev. shooter is true. You get one guy that is ok and beats a couple other shooters on every stage he gets all the points. That was pretty much the point of the article. The guy gets 100% of the match points where as the Open guy has to split the points with the other stage winners. The scoring system then becomes the victim of the lets make a division for every type gun which splits the top shooters off rather than competeing against each other. The only solution is to not combine any of the scores or you get these kind of comparisons.
-
George, Yes that will be cash and no I don't want a slurpy.
-
The problem is that these clowns need to get a real job then the won't have time to sit around and think this dumb s&6t up in the first place!

Damn Bill,
I got home and the wife was mad that I was gone all day... yours had you taking off your pants.. Lucky dog!

Cactus,
I agree that the dot or circle dot are limited in application. Just like the mil dot is. Closest thing to the optimal do all is the new HV. You can make your range card for whatever load you're using and the dot is good at true CQB distance. Best choice is really a dot scope on the handguard and a real scope on the flattop.

Sorry took so long to reply, work has been nuts. It was a tribrid barrel maybe 2" to the first port. ended up around 8.3 with 3n37. Up over 9 grains with 3n38.

Haven't seen one used. What advantage would there be? None! big disadvantages......more expensive ammo, less gun choice, Go buy ammo and practice. It's getting old with all the how can I buy a advantage questions... you can't just get your butt out and shoot more.
