If someone is shooting Rimfire Rifle Irons and their gun came from the factory with an A2-style flash hider, does that bump them into Open? Are flash hiders allowed in Irons division? All I've been able to find in the rulebook is this: Long Guns: Long gun competitions may be run in the Steel Chal- lenge. Rimfire rifle may use the Rimfire handgun rules, procedures and stages using the long gun start position. Various rifle and shot- gun courses may also be shot under SCSA, with the courses using various metal targets. And then the pistol rules: Rimfire Iron Sights: Any Iron-sighted rimfire pistols with- out a compensator, barrel ports or optic sights. Fiber-optic sight inserts are specifically allowed. Would an A2 (or A1?) flash hider be considered a compensator or barrel porting? I believe the military considers the A2 to be a compensator. I, personally, don't think it should really matter (you barely get any help from a comp in a 22) but I have no idea how they would rule this in a major match. Hope someone has some insight for me, thanks!

So just any grease gun that fits zerk fittings? Do I need to buy any accessories with it? A flex tube?

Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm finally getting around to performing some maintenance on my 650... I have the zerk fittings on my pivots but I don't know the first thing about grease guns. Can someone educate me and/or suggest a grease gun for me? The 650 is probably the only thing I'm ever going to use it on. Thanks!

I actually managed to find some Accurate #5 available and was looking to place an order... Is it a good powder for loading 9mm minor? I'm intending on shooting 124gr Montana Gold bullets (although this may change as time goes on). I was intending on using CCI 500 small pistol primers. Anyone using AA#5? Those bullets and/or primers a good match? What is your recipe? Any help for the newbie reloader is appreciated! Edit: Noticed there was another thread with the same question (oops). I think I have the info I need but if you want to provide additional info, I'm okay with that!

S&W will let you order most parts directly from them on the phone. I always (eventually) get my parts orders from them but sometimes it sits on back order for awhile!

I love my M&Ps but if I could do it over again I'd probably get a Glock setup instead. I like the feel of a good Glock trigger better than my M&P trigger. I would advise not converting.

I tried running the full competition kit, it just didn't work for me. The transition from "take up" to where it starts to break was so big that it often caused me to "slap" the trigger. It just didn't feel smooth. I imagine with a lot of practice I could have finally gotten it but I found, for me, using a S&W factory striker spring and trigger spring was the right mix with the rest of the Apex competition kit parts. You can use the Duty trigger spring from Apex but keep in mind that it is a full pound heavier than the factory spring.

This is where I have landed too. I also often do this.

Yes. I shoot competition with an M&P9L, carry an M&P9 and M&P9C.
