The scoring rules are pretty clearly laid out in the USPSA rulebook. One case is a no-shoot penalty and the other one is not. I think it is a good idea to either read the scoring rules or have somebody at the range explain them to you. That is not being snarky, it is a game, so there have to be rules. I think with IDPA shoot throughs count, but it has been a while since I've looked at those rules.

Not just Glock, or IDPA. No Dremel or file rules are stupid.

Good info. Thank you!

3 or 4 on gun broker if you search for ifg, but overpriced by $150 right now.

7. Les Baer, 1911, Premier II, 9MM Luger, 1.5 in. Accuracy Guarantee, Green Fiber Optic Front Sight, Single Safety ... Delivered Price - $2,604 In stock at 1911 Heaven. I have been thinking about such things

You might decide to become a nobody after a few matches , for a 1911 person a soft shooting 9mm 1911 can be really nice. Reloading is either part of the fun or a chore depending upon who you are talking to or how you are geared.

The last time I worked a level 2 the RM made sure that we did not have any line on top of line targets on my stage. I think what one person would see as a sloppy set up another person would see as a set up that avoids scoring issues. +100

Trying to remember how a CZ behaves when you bump the safety up a very tiny bit during recoil or reloading . In any case DSPerman extra power safety springs are a popular reliability mod.

Oh, good thing for a newbie to know is that some of the suppliers have forum discounts if you tell them you are a Benos person.

https://techwearusa.com/g10-dualtec-semi-aggressive-fat.html Is one of the versions of that grip + their system Magwell the new hotness for USPSA SS or is it something else? Figured the op would want to know & I'm making the dive back in myself.

Reminds me of when I worked for my Dad during summers.

A lot of buzz about the somewhat new Sport Pistol powder being a cheaper alternative. Never bought VV because I never had a powder where I thought dirty burning was an issue, am about half way down on an 8 lb jug of SP though (147 gr 9mm loads) does seem like it is cleaner than what I'm used to.

0.05 second per stage on average. (0.0 most of the time but there will be that stage once in a while where you start with a really tough shot and take more time to insure a smooth pull) Pure wild guess.

Wise man. The S2 out of the box is nice, but if you are used to a really well set up CZ then you will want to get it to that level (at least I did).

It depends. You can buy a 1911 that has been proven to shoot 1.5" or better 50 yard groups and I think CZ Custom makes similar guarantees on their accuracy-bushing guns (not sure about CZC, from memory). For strictly off the shelf guns priced about the same, then I think you are correct.

My order of preference was: Tango stock 2 or 3 or LP CZ SP01 variant CZ Shadow 2 They are all fine guns but I wouldn't assume you will like any of them better than what you have, best to shoot a friends gun or at least handle all of them.

Not sure how often these guys shoot 3 divisions? In any case the recent accomplishment is indeed impressive. I was always impressed by TGO winning SS nationals and then Revolver the day after, largely because I can't imagine making that big of a switch that fast.

Shocking that you would say something like that about any fiddling with a gun. Shocking I say.

When I think of my dealings with Fusion on warranty repair issues my blood pressure goes way up. Way up.

That is pretty cool.

You can buy straight barrel 5" pistols that are shop tested & verified to shoot 1.5" 50 yard groups. I wonder if the cone tends to help with reliability since you only have a small area (lengthwise) where barrel and slide approach a tight fit? Sort of like the reasoning behind a tapered wall (9mm) cartridge. I have not seen any reliability data on one versus the other. Interesting question.

Yep. I'm a big fan of the 100% certain thing. If I think a person messed up I will probably offer an opinion to them after they finish the stage (if they seems the type that appreciates warnings), if it is clear that the person messed up then I will call it. Seems to work out, people get by with 190's on the 180 with me because in real time I can't get the protractor out and compare the shooter to the designated 180 line and factor in my viewing angle, but the stuff that you would worry about seems pretty easy to call. Even the trigger finger, when the shooter lives with his finger wrapped around it and you are at the right angle.

I understand that. I just would never give a person a warning if I was certain that they broke a safety rule that I was supposed to enforce. It just seems better for everyone if you don't get into the exceptions business.

Just finished watching the scenario play out. Open shooter, they warned him about it 2 or 3 or 4 (or more) times at different matches and the warnings did not cross the circuit between his trigger finger and his brain or apparently make it to his dry fire practice. So he let off a round while running and got the dq and maybe, hopefully, the point was finally made. Agree that the r.o. has to be 100% sure there is a problem and it can be hard to get a clear view. The way I see it is that 10.5.10 says dq the guy with the safety problem and if I'm r.o. and I do not enforce the safety rules then I need to own it if the unsafe guy we let squeak by ever hurts anyone when the a.d. finally happens.

The original spring in my 1050 got too weak for the handle to come full up on its own so I replaced it with the spring in the 1050 spare parts kit. The one in the kit was longer than oem and came with a longer bushing that had to be swapped when you changed to the longer spring. Do you know if the newer spring bushing pretty much identical to the aftermarket?
