  1. Well that'll do it! . Did he drop gun without mag in it or with slide locked back?
  2. Pics? Curious where exactly rock was lodged.
  3. This. Treated the same as an unrestored target. If there's 3 holes in the target, you know shooter only shot at it twice, and you can't tell which might be a shoot through from the hard cover, then how do you know any of them are even a shoot through? The shot into hard cover on other target might not have gone through and hit this target and instead this target just wasn't properly taped or piece of tape fell off. As said in 9.1.4, if there's extra hits and you can't accurately determine the score then it's a reshoot.
  4. You shouldn't have to pound on it. A few light taps won't hurt anything. Then after you get it out put the factory pins back in
  5. If an RO short beeps you just don't react to the beep and RO will restart you.
  6. Oh I'm sure it does happen. If range staff is tossing people off the range for violating range rules like that I suppose it should be marked as DNF, not a DQ, but if I got thrown out for some unknown range rule I wouldn't really care how it showed up on Practiscore. Clubs with range staff enforcing those kind of rules should warn people on registration page.
  7. USPSA clubs aren't allowed to make up their own rules and DQ people for violating them. In a scenario like you described if local range staff kicks someone out of the range for violating a range rule, that person isn't DQed from the match, but it's hard to finish the match if you're not allowed to step foot on the range...
  8. It was created during the federal AWB.
  9. I've never used Unique, but that sounds pretty light. What's the velocity on that load? I normally load to 1.135", but 1.12" should feed fine.
  10. I guess you haven't seen the guns Team Glock shoots. There's not much stock about them
  11. The vast majority of striker fired guns besides Glock are single action with fully cocked firing pins so that's not necessarily a bad thing. It looks like all the safeties could still function, as long as it still has enough pre-travel. But it looks like the drop safety might still only prevent trigger bar movement. With a separate sear I wonder if there's anything besides spring tension holding sear in place if dropped? I can't tell that from the video.
  12. Interesting design, very different than any other Glock trigger I've seen. Looks like the sear keeps the firing pin fully cocked so don't have to pull firing pin further back with the trigger; that'd certainly help lighten the pull. But I'm done spending that much on aftermarket triggers. A new connector and a few springs is good enough for me.
  13. Gen 5 Glocks are nDLC finished. The slides are nitride treated and then the black DLC coating is applied on top of that. So even if the DLC wears off, the steel still has the nitride treatment so still has the corrosion resistance as mentioned. From what I've seen it's pretty common for the Gen 5s to have faster and worse finish wear than prior generations.
  14. I understood that, just respectfully disagree
  15. As a Production shooter, I don't like the idea of adding major scoring to Production. Clearly they can't make everyone happy with division rules...
  16. Clubs can download the rulebook PDF onto all scoring tablets so there's always a rulebook available on every stage...
  17. Sounds like the 13lb spring isn't holding slide forward with enough force, so when you slam home a fresh mag that is causing slide to shake out of battery slightly. On the Gen 5 that recoil spring is under less pre-tension than same weight spring on previous generations, so less force holding slide closed. Although it seems most people have no problem with 13lb spring in Gen 5. Using factory recoil spring should fix it, or even a 15lb spring.
  18. I didn't say it was... Depends on which ruleset you're using. Around here it used to be a DQ, but now is a zero for the stage. There might be some multigun sports where it's still a DQ, not sure since there's lots of different rulebooks out there.

  20. Key words there are "must" vs. "should". You must have your finger outside the trigger guard when specified or it's a DQ. Saying you should put the safety on during movement is just a suggestion, nothing happens if you don't do it. With loaded rifle you must have safety on at the start of the stage before the beep, and if you ever put rifle down, like dumping it in multigun.
  21. LaRue LT204 is a great deal for around $140. https://www.larue.com/products/lt204/. You'll need at least 2" offset. I'm not sure how eye relief compares on 1-10 vs 1-6, but for me on 1-6 I needed a 3" cantilever for proper eye relief. Most people seem to be fine with 2" cantilever though. I'm tempted to try a 1.93" height mount next time I need another one.
  22. Cactus Combat Match League says established 1975. But I don't know what year they started their USPSA affiliation. https://www.cactusmatch.com
  23. Yeah there's more gas from the 9mm since it's a blowback. CMMG and Colt make that gas deflector I and Silver Surfer posted. CMMG changed the design a few years ago, the one I posted is newer design. If you prefer the look of the older design Brownells sells the Colt parts. The CMMG one is available from lots of places, here's a few quick ones I found from googling. I wouldn't trust the stock picture they use on the website though. If it's a CMMG then it's probably the newer design. https://9mmar.com/cmmg-ejection-port-cover-kit-with-gas-deflector/ https://www.jsesurplus.com/cmmg9mmdeflector.aspx https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/714018149 https://gun.deals/search/apachesolr_search/815835016436?is_firearms_wikiarms=0
