I acquired one since it sounded like a great way to improve my one handed and support handed technique. Just being cognizant of my errors, I have improved significantly with one handed shooting, using either hand. I have used it for dry fire. For live fire it is a little odd, since it’s telling me, I’m not doing well, yet I’m still in the A Zone at the distances I was using it. Live fire seems a bit odd with its analysis. But as a whole, I find it useful for making sure I’m doing things towards improvement. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Bob Vogel does a video on the IDPA Swinger. I bought a stand myself. I also bought a Texas Star, Dueling tree and use the Last Stands System as a plate rack (1 with 4” and 1 with 6” plates). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I have used the GSight system with a NLT SIRT trainer. Yes it has helped me for trigger control, consistency, targeting and point shooting. It has also helped for ambidextrous skills. Which I balance with live fire training. I also acquired the Mantis X system to which you refer. It is a motion activated device that detects movement of the pistol or rifle before, during and follow through of a shot cycle. It gives feedback whether you are doing proper technique of maintaining alignment and using proper technique. There are multiple data points taken and I have found it to be useful, also. It connects by Bluetooth efficiently. It also works with live fire work. I acquired it for doing controlled pairs and triples, as well as for ambidextrous shooting. The pistol or rifle needs a rail or you can get some form of an adapter to mount it; something I did not use. G-Sight 7 yards 20 yards Mantis X Mantis X does work on a SIRT but it isn’t as consistent because the SIRT doesn’t have a true trigger system that can be detected as well as a regular firearm This is another laser trainer that has a built in timer.

Out of sight, out of mind. Mine are in the basement. I have four reloaders. But the room is 40x30 feet. Instagram: MuzzleblastMD

Looks like a great system. Is it affordable is the question. Instagram: MuzzleblastMD

We had a kitchen renovation because of some issues. I had some cabinets that I had installed in my work room. I didn't care about a surface so I said, just use reinforced wood. I found an old college professor desk from Habitat for Humanity thrift store for $40. It's about 120-140 lbs. solid wood. All you will do is drill a bunch of holes into a table. It doesn't need to be expensive. The table has to be solid to provide a stable base for your presses. I have three progressive and one single stage. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I wet Tumble my brass, also. Most lead exposure I believe is in casting lead bullets and working with non-jacketed bullets. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I was reloading 454 Casull and set the OAL as recommended by my Hornady Manual. I'm using 250 Gr XTP. However, the cannelure is above the mouth of the case. So do I proceed to lower the bullet to the mid level of the cannelure or do I go with the OAL? Seems like if I lower it, the pressure would be higher which would be a concern.

Of those I'd pick the S&W 340. One wrinkle I'll add is to consider the Kimber Stainless revolver which has 6 rounds vs 5. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have three Reloaders: 550B x 2 and a 450. One 550 B for 38 +P and 357 Mag One 550 B for 45 ACP The 450 for 44 Mag Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have two Dillon 550s and it is unnecessary for me to auto index or have an automatic case feeder. I'd rather check and make sure each step is down before I move to the next step. I reload 45 ACP on one machine and 38+P/357 magnums on the other machine.

Benelli M2 Tactical VMW extension (7+1), Tube Clamp (not installed on pics), Extended Bolt release GG&G Mag follower, Quick release front and back sling mounts Vickers Blue Force 2 point sling Mesa Tactical 6 shell carrier and mount Limbsaver 10401 Freedom Fighter Tactical Forend

Wow! Awesome. Does the extension tube going beyond the barrel cause any issues? Just curious.

I'm still waiting on the Mesa Tactical sidesaddle/rail. It has the regular grip, not the pistol grip. This has the following: Dave's Metal Works mag extension, tube clamp, extended bolt release Limbsaver 10401 GG&G quick release sling mounts GG&G Mag follower, 922r compliant Freedom Fighter Tactical, 922r compliant forend Vickers two point sling Based upon what I've read here, I only have to change two parts.

Great success story. Thanks. Great points, too. There are so many confounding diseases such as cubical tunnel syndrome, cervical radiculopathy, that confuse many clinicians.

If it is moderate to severe, then surgery is the only answer to prevent long term neuropathy and muscular atrophy secondary to denervation. I had surgery on my right wrist 2/2011. My left wrist is also affected, but I don't type as often as I used to so it has improved.

I'm newer to longer distance shooting, and I just started using a Ruger Mark II Target Competition with an Ultradot Matchdot. It just came in the mail last weekend. I just sighted it at 50 yards a few days ago. I can hit a 1" steel rod target at 25 yards, a 4" plate at 50 yards, an 8" plate at 75 yards and 10" plate at 100 yards. My friend who has 15 years on me with his same configuration hits a padlock at 75 yards, a 1" steel rod target at 50 yards and a plate at 150 yards. --- For combat, I have hit the 8" plate at 75 yards and 50 yards first time trying the gun out with my Coonan 1911. My Ed Brown Special Forces can also do the same. I've only been able to hit out to 50 yards with my Mars Armament T.H.U.G. My Pythons and Smith and Wesson Model 627s only go to 50 yards shooting double action, right now. It's much more challenging trying a 75 yard plate in double action plate with a 357 Magnum, but I'm working on that, also. I take out anywhere from 4-6 guns on an outing once or twice a week. A year ago, I was only able to stay in the black at 7 yards (Shoot N See add on targets).

I shoot many different pistols, such as revolvers, 1911s, striker fire and DA/SA pistols. I dry fire my pistols frequently which lessens any inter platform issues for me. My high handhold is the same for all handguns. Grip safeties do not play a factor, but external safeties are where multi-platform shooters can get into trouble. Therefore, when I draw, my thumb will actually sweep for all platforms for a safety as if I'm shooting a 1911. I had to get rid of my Beretta because the safety is opposite of a 1911. Aiming is the same, and I have similar sights on all guns, except one: Glock 36 which has XS Big Dots. Aiming for the XS Big Dots is slightly different but still intuitive. I don't use it for precision shooting, anyways. For me, it's about becoming thoroughly familiar with the operation of each. Dry fire helps me immensely.

When I was just getting started in shooting, I never realized I was Cross-eye dominant. I'm right handed and left eye dominant. I always thought something was wrong with the gun. Anyways, I was shooting with a friend and he figured out my problem. I haven't had any issues ever since. I had LASIK in 2010 and my dominant eye is now corrected for distance and my right eye is for near vision. It has further improved my ability to shoot both handguns and long guns.

I am a Navy Veteran, shooting enthusiast, and I came across this site after doing a Google Search for a subject on 1911s. I am a Physician, by trade. I just started reading Practical Shooting, and I wish I came across it sooner. The first couple of chapters could have helped me in Golf (e.g. Focus, Concentration). I shoot various calibers, though 357 Magnum and 45 ACP are my favorite; therefore, revolvers and 1911s are my favored pistol types. Shooting, Marksmanship, Concealed Carry and attention to the laws are an ongoing learning process for me. I have concealed carried since '09 and I've been shooting since I was about 21 years old. My goals are to improve with each passing day, learning new ways to progress and to be in tune with the tools of the trade.
