  1. The exact weight of a double action trigger is difficult to measure, and it's not really that important anyway. Use your fancy scale to measure the weight of the hammer fall. That's the repeatable measurement, and the one that matters.
  2. There may not be any problem with the gun. Are you shooting handloads? You pay for the gunsmiths time, regardless of whether there's anything wrong with the gun.
  3. They don't move under recoil. I've shot .357 out of a Rhino snubby, and it was like shooting an open gun. About as loud too. The trigger gets lighter as you pull it though. It's weird. Which model deletes the single action? Does it improve the double action pull?
  4. It was much better years ago when I had to print out all the rulings and clarifications off the web page and bring them to matches I was ROing. That was a lot easier then downloading the current PDF to my phone.
  5. Holding nationals in the southeast has contributed to me skipping out on the matches. I would like to go shoot Revo this year, but with Covid sticking around I don't want to deal with traveling. I'm planning on shooting majors closer to home instead.
  6. If the start position requirements are met, 10.2.1 only provides for procedural penalties while shooting.
  7. 95% of the density of traditional parts. Hardness is a function of the heat treatment.
  8. I emailed the match director, it's an outlaw match. I'm not interested in outlaw matches, that's why I'm not interested in 3 gun.
  9. USPSA is full of range lawyers...
  10. Don't feed the trolls. This is the first post with this account name.
  11. I still occasionally have to fix low mileage Smiths from the 70's & 80's that left the factory with problems. People forget that the guns from the "good old days" are only better because they've all been fixed already.
  12. Adjusting timing in a smith is something that most local gunsmiths should be able to handle.
  13. True, but when you're considering maximum pressures plated data is safe with coated. Velocity can only be determined with a chrono, not a book.
  14. It should be safe to use Alliant's loading data for the 165 grain plated bullets with a 160 coated.
  15. They're kinda convenient when you're the only shooter in your division. Gotta measure progress somehow.
  16. Jesus, why does anyone care? If it makes weight and uses a single stack mag there's no advantage to it. It's not like Staccato is the only company doing this. https://cosaintarms.com/products/ If you want to shoot a lightweight-plastic gripped 45, go ahead. If you want to swap out the grip for an expensive aluminum one to get to the same place as my Springfield, that's no skin off my back.
  17. Gravity. The moonclip drops in faster when it's closer to vertical. Back on topic, there's an awful lot of talk now that a wider portion of USPSA is experiencing what I've experienced in the other low cap divisions for years. Last summer revolver outnumbered production locally for a month or so. I expect single stack will constantly out number production soon as folks need to load their large primers.
  18. The M&P is single action as well once you put an Apex sear in it.
