I got the last spot a few weeks ago. Time to see how a 18" 308 works out.

My issue is that we have a 3 gun nation classifier coming up that requires steel at a distance of 50 yards. With people shooting heavy metal (308) this may cause them to incur a penalty by not being able to shoot.

5.3.19 Firing a shot at a metal target from a distance of less than 23 feet with a handgun, 147 feet with a rifle, 23 feet with a shotgun when using birdshot or buckshot ammunition, or 147 feet when using slug ammunition. The distance is measured from the face of the target to the nearest part of the competitor’s body in contact with the ground (see Rule [10.1.3]).
What about shooting a 308 at steel at 50 yards?

I'm the only one in my local club that shoots heavy metal irons (308 AR, 1911, pump shotgun). Since there is no direct competition there I just try and beat the tac optics guys. There have been a few stages out to 300 where I got lucky and never missed. Some of the Tac Optics guys were using 10X and still had some misses. Overall, it's just more fun.

I've been shooting my Glock 26 in IDPA. It's my every day carry and I still remain competitive.

I use this for precision rifle matches to 500 on a MK12 (precision AR). I found a demo model for $670 at camera land NY.

I carry my Glock 19 and 30S. I primarily shoot the 19 in competition but have used both. I even shoot with the same holster that I carry with. I had switched to a 1911 for competition but had problems switching back and forth from a platform with a safety to one without.

I heard one guy saying to a customer in Alaska...
"Oh yeah the 9mm is a good round for bears. You just need to make sure you shove the gun into its mouth."
I have been going through these for awhile. I started crying because I was laughing so hard!

I was looking for a specific DPMS last week. There must have been 700 "not DPMS". It was driving me crazy! Gun Broker really needs to address this.
