    Short funny jokes

    When I was born, the doctor slapped my mother. R.Dangerfield
  2. "Danger Danger Will Robinson" When a new r.o. sees you start that reload they will get nervous, they will also lose sight of the gun if you keep the muzzle safe by twisting your wrist and do not change your foot position. After getting hosed with a bad dq call at a local match I learned to make sure the r.o. does not lose sight of the gun and I now exaggerate pointing the gun downrange.
  3. I probably do not understand what is meant. I have always been taught that when there is any doubt you do not penalize the shooter.
  4. That would be 100% of the decision for me, how the gun matched what my particular hand size wants. I'd also include the TS in the mix, for the same reason. If a CZ worked best I would buy a CZ specific sight pusher from CZ custom for the TSO or maybe just a complete new rear for the TS, and do something about the magwell, if Tanfo worked I would fiddle with the trigger. 2011's are easier to reload than TSO's , which can likely be fixed with practice & knocking off (blending) the edge between frame and magwell (dremel) & probably a bigger blended magwell, not sure about limited elite.
  5. Pictures, or it is not happening (internet rule) ?. HC should open up the market to a whole lot of people who just like slick looking guns. Wonder if it will be hard chrome only or if there will still be some blue guns?
  6. Whether or not the safety is supposed to work under all conditions, as I recall one reason things get sticky is that the safety works in both hammer back and hammer forward positions on stock guns. When you read appendix D4 22.1 it sort of makes it obvious why there could be disparity of interpretation.
  7. I prefer a Sargeism I read on a scoring thread, something like "even as an r.o. sometimes we have to use common sense". That is not an exact quote, best as I can remember though. I do agree on being hard core on the safety stuff, but not on the ticky tack stuff. If I was going to punish somebody over a beeper issue I would have to first be sure that the beeper was held correctly, the beep was not unusually quiet, there was no unusual visual or audible disturbance, and my timing was indeed correct.
  8. Speaking of production equipment checks , was their ever a ruling about the CZ's where the thumb safety worked if you put it on when the hammer was back (as designed) but not if you applied the safety with the hammer fully down?
  9. “The perfect blossom is a rare thing. You could spend your whole life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life” – The Last Samurai Apparently I just needed a pin that worked well with the tolerances on this gun. I think the learning for me is even when you are installing known good parts always do the safety checks. Stainless steel has been a pain in the arse for me to work with on other stuff, I wonder if Tanfo is any more consistent on tolerances with the non ss guns.
  10. Fiddling with my 1 gun that intermittently allows me to push the past the block. What I have found so far is that my gun works with oem & EG firing pins which measure 0.2040" and 0.2045" from the flat that contacts the block to the opposite round surface but fails intermittently with the PD pin which measures 0.2010” . The extended block did not require fitting so it should be dimensionally as new. For what it is worth. Sent a note to the brain trust at PD, seems like (my gut sez) a difference of 0.0030 - 0.0035" should not be enough to create a problem under normal circumstances so I'm wondering if tolerance of this gun is somewhat on the edge in one regard or another.
  11. 147 SNS truncated cone at 1.135 was what I was having the issues with. Went to 1.151 & have since run several thousand through 4 different CZ's with no worries, none of the guns have had their barrels reamed. Have since switched from being a CZ nut to a being Tanfo nut, mostly, the Tanfo's like 147 RN at 1.15 and that seems fine with the CZ's also but I have not run lots of RN through the CZ's so I would not spike the ball on that.
  12. I would need to find a hobby to do while I was waiting to do my hobby.
  13. Any thoughts about a gun that shoots polymer coated extremely well but then accuracy goes to the toilet as it leads up excessively, and is a real pain to clean?
  14. I guess somebody could enter a match that did not have an equipment check and try to get buy with running an open rig in production or something like that. Real world wise though it is usually obvious except for limited versus limited 10 and major versus minor. Right or wrong their is some level of trust involved.
  15. I think I have the same draw at 3 yards as I do at 50. I think Jerry Miculek coined the term "25 yard draw" for folks that slow down the draw speed when they have a difficult first shot, there is no reason to do things any different that I know of. What type of holster if you do not mind? Am wondering about the best motion for a typical production rig. Hmm, next range visit I want to compare my fastest draw time to my match mindset draw time, I'm guessing that the difference will be something like 0.2 seconds. Would be interesting to know how others approach this and if they do draw slower in a match by how much.
  16. I don't see experienced r.o.'s crowd a shooter, particularly on stages where running backwards (planned, or unexpectedly to pick up a dropped mag or forgotten target) is a feature and on stages where there is potential for an r.o. trap. You can control the shooter with your voice without being close to him. I do not want the shooter to see or hear me if possible, although with some of the mouse fart quiet pcc's sometimes you do have to be closer than is ideal for safety or for non interference.
  17. How often do you folks find a need for the second overlay? Wouldn't have a problem using both if that made the shooter happy, just seems rare when things are so close that 1 does not make for a solid conclusion.
  18. If the shadow lite felt good to me I would get a 75 or 85, probably the latter due to no firing pin block, install the CGW upgrades including precision bushing, and pocket the price difference. LS-P's are nice, what I used to shoot, if you like the sight radius & grip that is a good way to go. If you liked the grip of your stock 2 I'd think about waiting just a little bit for either a small frame limited pro (sight radius) or one of the new stock 1's.
  19. From the PD website "However, the end user will have the ability to add stippling as well if they choose so since the polymer material allows for such modifications. " . Not sure how much of a pain it would be or how easy it would be to screw up though.
  20. And 1911's, etc. It would be interesting to compare sight brands and etc.. I've broken 1 front and one rear grand total over too many years of shooting and almost all of it with adjustable rear sights.
  21. PD "bright red" on my new toy. Besides feeling good I thought they gave the basic blue gun some pizzaz.
  22. Agreed, I was trying to figure out what wgj3 meant by "engaging" hard cover.
  23. What point are you making here? I guess you could say you were engaging a wall or a berm or the ground anytime you are not engaging a target?
