  1. It is not. Too wide. Is it too wide even with the decockers? I may have jumped the gun (heh), by the numbers, it is too large by a small amount, .085", by the listed width. I haven't taken any calipers to my P07 to see if that is the width of the slide, or the frame with controls. If that is the total width across the decockers, it would probably fit in the box with 'light' pressure holding the lid down. My club hasn't created the box with inserts yet to test.
  2. It will not fit in the box as stock. You can make it fit by using flat baseplates and grinding the nose of them down until it will just slip in. There is a lot of extra plastic there.
  3. You can use it with the decocker in SSP, or ESP. Using the safety would leave you in ESP unless you manually dropped the hammer all the way down.
  4. Pretty much a direct copy of the 5.11 vest.
  5. When I run a stage with ports, I give PEs for people that stand square in the window. If you stand to the side closest to where you came from (so you don't cross the port), you're usually good. The expectation of 50% of the torso behind cover just isn't there (3.5.4), unless the window is really big, I guess. You don't have to watch their feet because there is no way to expose their lower body. Technically, you could stand right in front of ports like the ones in the video and have 100% of your lower body and 50% of your upper body not visible from the other side of the window. That's why unless you stand directly in front, you're usually not going to get called, or if you don't move your body at all to engage more targets. A good scorekeeper shadows the shooter where ever they can and lines up the center line of the target with the edge of the window/port and will get a pretty good view.
  6. In CZ's with a firing pin block, the trigger bar is what depresses the block to allow the firing pin to go forward. Without moving the trigger, the firing pin will stay blocked, no matter the position of the hammer.
  7. I'm not saying it's okay to break the rules, but we have allowed rules to be broken in club matches, but always on the side of something being harder, not easier. For example, if we set up a stage and end up having extra no-shoots, or headshots/strong hand only at 12 yards, it's going to (hopefully) make us that much better when we go to shoot major matches. We don't tend to go out and do this on purpose, but if someone doesn't build a stage according to all the rules, we do our best on the group walk-through to set it right. We're not throwing out stages or anything. We'll also never turn someone away for shooting for equipment issues. We'll explain what's going on, and what it means, but stippling isn't going to be a huge competitive advantage for new shooters. Someone that has been around long enough to know better? You're shooing ESP today, friend. I'm not sure when you cross from new to old pro, but thankfully we have a good honest group and those things have always worked out. For guns, NFC at club matches is really the catch all for gun related issues. Ported barrel? Mounted light? Shoot in NFC, it's not like you're getting a trophy anyway.
  8. CCI #500, 3.3gr titegroup, 147 xtreme or berry's RN plated bullet, @ 1.15, right around 130PF. Smooth, good recoil impulse, great at steel and drops the front sight right back in place. That's with the old twist 4.25" barrel.
  9. Emergency reload is always faster when just comparing reload times. But if you can do a tac-load on the move, now you're using your time more efficiently if you can move at roughly the same speed. There are also times when you need to do a RWR because you won't have enough rounds to shoot the CoF the proper way, like if there is steel or activators and you need more bullets to shoot targets before they disappear.
  10. A vest isn't going to make you shoot better or worse, but a specific IDPA or conceal carry vest is typically a bit longer and has more useful pockets and stiffer sides. I've shot with flannel shirts, Hawaiian shirts, all manner of jackets and just about anything that I thought would work. Now I use the 5.11 vest, and I don't have the occasional messed up draw because I don't grab enough fabric on the first try when I use it. Can't say the same about other options.
  11. I prefer the 4.25" model as well. I can hose the close up targets much faster, and don't feel like I am at a disadvantage on further targets.
  12. Ashley picked Junior over Lady. You can only pick one category.
  13. I put my thumb on the rear slide cover to make sure I don't knock it OOB.
  14. That's an interesting question. I think I know which way it will go, but I'd like to see the official ruling.
  15. This part basically goes back to the old rules. As long as you are behind cover, you can reload, you don't have to plant a foot. That means you can shoot on the left side of a wall, and then do a tac-load or slide lock reload while moving to the other side of the wall. There are some exceptions for rooms, corridors and hallways, where once you engage the targets in them, you can move down them while reloading, as long as you don't cross an opening or window.
  16. That might be too wide. Definitely too wide. P07 is 37mm, box will only allow 34.9mm. I think they should have made the box a bit slimmer. Otherwise G19 will rule it.

  18. I think having a division with very few participants means that maybe it is time for it to go, especially if there are other divisions to explore. Though, I think they should just add another division and allow match directions to try it out before they eliminate ESR.
  19. That's what I am shooting right now. Xtreme 147, 3.3 grains of TG at about 900 FPS and loaded on the longer side 1.135ish.
  20. As a corollary, I was at a tier 3 match, and made a brain fart in a stage. The way it was shot, there were some targets on the move, then you could take additional shots from a position, or pick to take a particular target from there, or later in the stage. Revolver shooters would run dry before the option, so they could reload on the way to cover. I opted for a tac load for various reasons. As I was moving from one position to the next and not shooting, I realized that I had skipped my plan to do the tac load before I moved to the next position, for some dumb reason, I reached up and touched the magazine with my weak hand, then pulled my hand away and hit the next shooting position, then initiated the tac load. The SO called me for attempting a reload on the move. I argued for some time that touching the magazine with the weak hand was NOT initiating a reload. I had not removed the magazine from the gun, nor one from my mag holder. "Too bad", was the answer, and the ASO with the scoreboard told me that he (somehow while standing behind me...?) saw me take the magazine out of the gun, and put it back in. I had the gun in close and right in front of me, no way someone standing behind me would have been able to definitively see anything. I know for sure this didn't happen, as I was recording the whole thing on my hat cam. Viewing it later, I just touched the bottom of the gun/magazine. The other SO's on the stage told me that the chief safety officer was a master shooter. That was their evidence that he was right. He had a high classification.
  21. I bought the hat and punched the hole in the brim, but there is a company that makes hats with a standard camera mount.
