    A buddy of mine has a bunch of them, and they seem like they are great mags. He put TTI Pmag extensions on a couple of his with minor fitting, and is getting 37-38 rounds in them with with perfect reliability so far. I own one myself, and have had no issues with it at all. I don't think DD is going to put their name on any product that is less than top notch.

     

    They aren't bad at all...except for the price.  Hopefully that will come down, and we'll get some options from them (translucent or window would be nice).  I've been testing a couple with no issues so far.

  2. If you haven't found something yet, this is something to watch. They are out of stock today. Even though I have a couple of expendable dollars to spend, I definitely understand trying to save a dollar here and save a dollar there on the exact same product. I call that smart shopping.

    Thanks. Glad there are some nice, helpful posters here to offset the ones that aren't.

    I did end up buying directly from MGM and saved a couple of bucks due to being an NRA Instructor. The model you linked to is actually the wrong model - I ordered it and returned the wrong model TWICE from Amazon. It's an easy mistake to make.

  3. It also seems your 4 Classifiers now have to be in the same year to create a Classification that sticks.

    If you didn't shoot 4 separate 3GN Classifier Stages in one year and have them all uploaded by the club, you will probably not have a Classification until you do.

    Ding, ding,ding, ding, ding! That's the answer I was looking for. It explains not only my situation, but the others I'm looking at. Four qualifiers in the same calendar year. Thanks so much!

  4. If you don't see your scores when you go to "Upcoming Matches, Scores & Classification " section on the welcome screen then the club has not submitted them yet. Normally clubs will charge you a fee to submit your scores, like $3 per classifier.

    Much, much harder than I expected. Yes I'm shooting at a 3GN affiliated club, yes I'm a 3GN member, and yes I can see my scores.

  5. OK, I finally found the following on the 3GN site (was tricky to locate):

    Shooters will be divided by FIREARMS division. Divisions are as follows: Unlimited (U), Factory (FA), Practical (P), Heavy Sport (HS), Heavy Optics (HO), Unlimited PCR (UPCR), Optics PCR (OPCR), Irons PCR (IPCR), Unlimited 22 (U22), Practical 22 (P22), and Factory 22 (FA22). 3GN has implemented a ranking system so that shooters can determine where they rank amongst other shooters across the country and have a goal to move toward. Each division will be divided into 6 classes. A shooter's class will be determined by the score of the first Classifier Stage shot by the club member. After shooting more than 4 unique classifiers, only the top 4 scores will contribute to the shooters ranking and overall points. It is through this method that a shooter will move up through the classes. (Updated 3/25/2016)

    Percentages are listed below:
    Pro 95-100% Semi-Pro 84-94.99% Expert 75-84.99% High Marksman 60-74.99% Marksman 40-59.99% Amateur 2-39.99%

    Based on the above, I'm still not clear. It states "A shooter's class will be determined by the score of the first Classifier Stage shot by the club member." I've shot a Classifier Stage, so why don't I have a classification? This also doesn't explain why I've looked up friends and other shooters who have shot more than four Classifier Stages and STILL don't have a classification?

  6. http://memberships.3gunnation.com/content/htm here are 3GN nation rules. Believe you can shoot a match with out shooting a classifier.

    There are other rule sets out there from other groups and clubs that do "outlaw" matches.

    That link doesn't seem to work: "The page you've requested could not be located, or is unavailable at this time."

    Perhaps I wasn't clear. I'm trying to determine what it takes to get a 3GN classification. I realize it isn't necessary to have a classification to shoot in a match.
