  1. There's a member here who works for Glock; I'm drawing on a blank on who it is right now. Please PM me. Thanks
  2. I've seen something similar years ago; this looks more current. Total bs in my opinion, at least as far as my "rating" goes.
  3. Johnny Brister is a pipe swinger. Never met the man but he annhiliated me a few years ago at the Florida Open.
  4. Agreed completely with lugnut. I think we (USPSA) has gotten very lucky on this issue for a long time.
  5. I emailed A6 director about 4 days ago; no response either.
  6. I've tried the dummy gun thing; better than nothing but not much. Wrong weight, crappy sights, no trigger, etc etc etc. Ok for draws, table pickups, and strong/weakhand transitions. That's about it.
  7. Best thing to do is shoot it like any other stage in a match. Get your hits and be technically proficient. This from a guy who made GM in about 30 months and then spent the next 8 years being "last GM" at pretty much every major I went to. Ultimately requested to be moved down to M in all divisions.
  8. They appear to have very limited hours and prohibit drawing from the holster. Looking for a place to practice.
  9. Possibly moving to the Tri-Cities area of Eastern Washington. Trying to see if there are USPSA-friendly ranges to practice at. Suggestions?
  10. Depends how much you shoot; $14 per thousand can either be savings of $14 per year $140 per year at 10k per year $280 per year at 20k $420 at 30k I do a lot of "oportunity cost" in this stuff, and $280 per year is two major match fees, or 10k primers, etc etc
  11. Nice catch Hoghunter! There is no case law on this. This stuff just gets repeated....and repeated...and repeated................... Tenn v. Garner and Graham v. Conner are still the guiding element is UODF cases.
  12. Graf and Sons had powdered when I ordered some yesterday; didn't check primers.
  13. Dave I've been involved in ranges/firearms training for the .gov for a long time now; the area behind the berms is referred to as the "impact area" and typically .gov ranges have hundreds or thousands of feet of "impact area" restricted from any type of use. The "impact area" you are describing is woefully inadequate; 420 yds is well within the max distance for pretty much any pistol caliber. "Low probability, high impact" of occurence, but too high a risk.......both for your range and anybody out on that highway.
  14. I'd like to PM someone with serious knowledge of Constitutional law.
  15. Dryfire targets all over the house. No drama. Years ago I left a lot of those little airsoft bbs on the floor. THAT was a problem. FY42385
  16. I've used them extensively in practice and have found that "something" isn't quite right; I think poster ummm nailed it with regards to bullet hole/target size ratio. It also seems that a 10 yd target (although a reduced size) does not amplify marksmanship issues like a true 25 yd target. Maybe do a trial period; Level 1 matches only for 12 months and see. FY42385
  17. That was very helpful! How is the front sight held on? Dovetail only, or dovetail/rollpin?
  18. How many rounds fired (roughly?)
  19. Anybody got a high round count through a Tanfo limited gun? Any parts wear/breakage issues a newcomer to Tanfoglios should know about? Thanks
  20. Had two Warp Speed hammers and they both cracked after about 20k rounds. Gun continued to run just fine. FY42385
  21. Serious props to anyone who does it like that. FY42385
  22. 67% is still really good though. Someone (Ron Avery, maybe?) said that earning a "B" card is the equivalent to a blackbelt. I agree. FY42385
  23. We'll need to know your hit factor. There is at least one website that will allow you to see what your score works out to. I believe www.classifiercalc.com is the one that's still up and running. FY42385
