[Max Michel interview regarding making changes to the sports]

Lol. I also have to buy a new ball every time I take a shot.

I could deal with a day job like that.

[Hello from Illinois]

Welcome to the forum. Everyone here is super helpful!

[Hello from Lubbock, Tx]

Welcome to the forum! Great group of people here with a wealth of information. Practical shooting is infectious!

[People who don't pay]

I appreciate the craftsman and skilled tradesmen that come to my house when I am in need. To be honest, I am not the Mr. Fix-it type and almost never have been able to do-it-myself. My father told me long ago, sometimes you pay to have people do what they are good at. It will cost you more in mistakes and your own time in the long run.

As long as the estimates are honest, and the work is quality, I would never complain, and I would especially never "Not Pay".

[Max Michel interview regarding making changes to the sports]

You are right. Guns are just a polarizing topic that I don't think will ever be part of the mainstream reality like golf is. And yes, golf is horrible to watch, but it is not a threatening sport. Unless you die from boredom.

Welcome! Enjoy getting involved and moving out of the shadows.

[1x optic for 3 gun]

I use a Leupold prismatic DCD and like it.

[3 gun rifle question]

I had a JP and have never had a single regret. Spend once and you will not regret it.

But unless the format changes, it would be boring to watch on tv. The pro-am is a tv friendly setup, but unless there was a new way for viewers to follow the action closer, I couldn't see there being much interest other than us. Just my .02. I don't think it is a target shape thing. Unless you are engaged in the sport, others can't relate to the excitement or challenge, or just don't care cause they hate guns.

[What is the idea behind the Infinity QB Hammer shape?]

I had a similar hammer on an Edge. When dry fire practice, rack the slide and pull the trigger. It never occurred to me to cock the hammer back on that or my 1911 manually when dry firing.

[Seriously looking at a Stock II]

My Stock IIs have been very reliable.

But if you take the game seriously, I don't see how you can not have a backup gun. Preferably your own. But if you know you are shooting a match with a friend who runs the same gun (and it runs you ammo) that would do in a pinch.

There aren't very many repairs I'd want to make on a Stock II during a match. Too many small parts to lose at a safe table.

Ok, I am sold on the logic. Will add a back up based on availability.

[Seriously looking at a Stock II]

The game is important. I would hate for my primary to go down and not be able to locate replacement parts. The more and more I think about it, I think a backup is required. Lol. Maybe a regular stock 2 as a backup to an xtreme if I can find one.

[Stock II vs. Limited Pro]

BayouGump, I have followed your Tanfo addiction on this forum for a while..... you do have a problem, but it could possibly be the best one to have IMO.

[Seriously looking at a Stock II]

I have two. If I'm going to travel across multiple states, or fly to a match, it's an absolute requirement. My backup gun has probably only shot a few hundred rounds though.

I am nowhere good enough to travel, so that may not be a consideration. Someday I aspire to have to worry about things like that. Lol

[Seriously looking at a Stock II]

Wav, great point. I had not thought of the parts availability issue. Although, I think JJ Racaza just opened a store here in Vegas that stocks these things, but I have yet to make it in there.

[Seriously looking at a Stock II]

That is very insightful! Thank you for taking the time to share that. I do not shoot tons of matches, but am nervous about a break down in the middle of a match. Heck with my Glocks I have every part needed to replace anything that is broken (except the slide, frame and barrel).

qq, are you using snap caps for dry fire practice or are they not required for the Stock II?

[DQing my first USPSA match]

Shake it off, it happens to everyone....at some point. Like EEH said, move on and be happy. Hopefully you have learned from the experience!

[Witness sweetness could not pass up]

What is the round count with mag extensions/base pads you guys are seeing on these? How is it comparing to a 2011? I think its a great idea to be able to compete with a limited and production setup that is very similar. Are guys using these for Limited or are they going to the Limited Pro?

[Seriously looking at a Stock II]

So I have been looking moving into a Stock II from the world of Glocks. I have read a bunch of posts on here about people buying two of them. One serving as a back-up for matches, it is also used as the dry fire gun. Do the Stock II's go down that frequently that I should worry about buying two of them? I am not a gunsmith and some of the disassembly and reassembly video's have scared the crap out of me.

Can some of you that have covered to the dark side please advise?

Thanks,

Matt

[Long time lurker, second time poster]

Hey everyone! I have been a member here since 2012. I have benefitted from the information everyone has shared over the years, and thought I would introduce myself. I live in Sin City and do not shoot nearly as much as I have in the past. But the news and info about the sport and the gear holds me over until I can get back on the horse and shoot a few matches.

Thanks for posting!

Matt
