Fantastic thread.
Has anyone tried to use a short reset disconnector with the stock hammer (ifg limited pro 9mm, small frame)? Don't know how the stock reset length would effect my shooting and I need to keep the stock hammer to be IDPA ssp legal.

Do we have to wait for someone to be injured or killed to add a common sense safety inspection prior to competition?
As a very general rule I think it is good to prove there is a significant problem before implementing a solution. I've participated in development of corporate and national safety standards for combustion systems, it gets frustrating because sometimes safety rules spring only from the imaginations of those who don't have to deal with the consequences of regulations, and the consequences in cost and performance and reliability can be severe.

It’s the older version with metal part on case feeder, 2 speeds.
Have been running the DAA plate for a while, it is faster but the upside down brass and jams still happened.
Eyeball fitted the DAA wedge earlier this week, haven't run a lot of rounds yet but with the switch in the fast position to feed my roll sizer I haven't been able to recreate a jam or get an upside down piece of brass so far. I assume it will be even more reliable when reloading and switched to slow speed.

Should you decide to go with an adjustable rear sight, Patriot Defense and others who mill Tanfo slides for conversion to optics may have used sights lying around. That is the way I went with my stock 1. Very easy swap if memory serves.

I cannot possibly disagree more.
Are there any known incidents of people getting hurt due to a gun being out of specification on this check? Not debating, just trying to learn.

I vaguely remember it's gap between barrel hood and breechface they look for
Something like that is what intuition would suggest, I don't know that I have ever owned a gun that would not drop the hammer with the slide back 1.5mm (0.0590") or less.

a significant gap between the slide and barrel (ie. the slide is significantly retracted)
I have a Shadow 1 target from CZ custom and a Shadow 1 Orange, both guns are as delivered from the manufacturer/Custom shop.
The hammer will drop on either gun with the slide back about 1/4" (6 or 7 mm), but at 1/4" of slide retraction the slide has not begun to move back away from the barrel and I suspect either would pass the 1.5mm gap test.
For what it is worth. Ideally someone will chime in who knows details of the gap test, I'm not an IPSC shooter.

The interesting thing is that Ben Stoeger won a bunch of US production championships with a Tanfo but they never seemed to achieve the popularity of the Shadow and later Shadow 2 did here.
Because finding one was a wee bit harder than finding a unicorn and they were priced accordingly.

Good info. Would like to understand better. If I bought a patriot defense barrel they would need the entire slide and gun in order to fit their barrel, but if I bought an entire top end (slide + barrel) no fitting would be required?

Then again years ago on the old IPSC e-mail list, a member from down-under had a spider build a web inside his powder funnel when he went for a snack mid-loading session, so keep an eye out for spiders too
I wouldn't be looking for spiders to be the high probability root cause, but if I was the original poster I would be taking the powder measure apart and looking for a wee bit of trash.

Have you guys tried practicing? That seems to help more than constantly changing parts
If you are going to put the effort into practicing I don't know why you wouldn't also put the effort into getting your equipment the best you can. To each their own though.

I jam them in until I see a dimple from the cup in the surface of the seated primer, but that's a revolver-specific 'optimization'.
It likely used to be revolver specific, but it also works well if you want to get your da/sa gun below 5 lb on the first shot and some of the striker gun trigger kits can use the help also so I am told. Anyway Dillon 1050, federal spp, I have adjusted depth to the point where I deform the primer on some range brass and on other mixed headstamp brass just drive it deep, for the wheel gun it is all the same brass so the dimple is consistent. -

I refuse to use age as an excuse or a crutch,
I use it as a reason to keep having fun and not beat myself up so much. I get where you are coming from, just saying it is easy to let the reality of being older screw up your fun.

A must for any owner
Many like them, for my CZ's I can't see a downside. For my Tanfo's the wobble you get from the smaller diameter of the center of the pin bothered me more than a little bit more fuss when removing the trigger.

But nobody's forcing me to shoot any of those so I'm okay with it, and it tends to give a flavor to matches for those who like that sort of match, whatever it is
Agreed. It is very nice to know if it will be a hoser match or whatever ahead of time so that you can make the right choice for you.

Sounds like you don't shoot much anyway so don't forget L10 is still a thing too, you're CZ is legal there. Around here you could do just as well in L10 or production with the same gun. Every match I've shot in production I've won so far, and one time I wasn't the only guy.
If I was going to change divisions I would have more faith in USPSA holding on to single stack than L10. It is frustrating to put in the $ and get all of the bugs worked out and then see the game change. Agree that you could shoot 10 rd minor with your production gun versus any competition shooting limited guns & major.

Will you really stop shooting USPSA to go to IDPA over a 5 round capacity increase in production? Also note IDPA's production division is also 15 rounds now.
I will. I'm a lo cap guy and I don't want to go back to 1911's ($$$ and I like my CZ's) so I'll focus on IDPA (esp is still 10 +1) & quit paying USPSA dues & just shoot the one close local USPSA match as the mood strikes.
You can't run a club or make rules for the weirdo outliers like myself so it is all good, the club can do what they think is best & I shall do what is best for me.

15 is better than 10, but I don't think it'll be enough to drive people back to Production.
Will be interesting. I don't see the change adding 1 new member to USPSA, those few weirdos (me) among us that like to shoot low cap will be faced with a choice of switching to another division ($$$) or maybe just focusing more on IDPA.

f anyone has any ideas, it would be great to explore and try to replicate it. Knowledge is the key here.
Is there a potential ignition source immediately above or to the side of the case feeder? Fuel air vapor clouds tend to rise (depending on fuel type) and expand and drift with any air circulation.

But, with 72% saying the capacity should go up is pretty telling I think.
The other poster said 64%. Doesn't really matter though, just being ocd.

Key Results (topics of most discussion on the forums)
- LO minor only vs. major/minor for people who have shot it already: 45% to 30% (25% responded N/A)
- LO minor only vs. major/minor for people who haven't: 43% to 30% (27% responded N/A)
- Production 15 rounds: 64% yes to 36% no

Wish they would have asked p15 for people who currently shoot production like they did for the LO questions. Just curiosity.

Ya but that is a bad approach to ROing, yelling something at the shooter who might very well be aware they are close to the line and impacting their stage performance. Just say stop if the rule is broken.
I suspect that there is maybe a near even split on this one. I always appreciate it if an r.o. takes action that might keep me from being dq'd and/or doing something unsafe.

Results are out, the people have spoken and they want 15 rounds
If you don't mind, where can the results be found?

Good info. I wonder what would have caused a spark inside a 1050 case feeder ? I didn’t think you could get a spark out of brass and plastic, static electricity?

Don't know if anybody else would be interested. On the old two speed case feeders I never liked that the motor stops and starts on every piece of brass and for feeding a roll sizer I'd like a bit more speed, so I blew $30 on a couple relays and some Din rail this morning. Should work I think, but I made the assumption that the switch and motor is coming straight off the 110v supply so I will need to revise slightly if I find that is a bad assumption when the parts arrive.
