when i had this kind of pcc i also beveled the inferior (lower) portion of the mag catch itself. so the mag had to slide by a rounded edge versus a sharp edge and that seemed to help with insertion. seating pressure was only reduced by loading a half loaded mag.

I have no experience with your gun, but I'm changing my pcc (sig mpx) load up this week as well. Going from a 147 with 3.3 sport pistol to a 124 with 3.6 of win 244.

Lots of the level 2 matches I've been to in Florida do that. Most people just accept it and roll one to the other. And yes, it can be a disadvantage if you're first and not entirely prepared. Especially as the stage designer will often try to make up for a low round count speed stage by making it harder shooting. Short answer get used to it.

This has got to be way to long... http://gregcotellc.com/cart/cz-factory-mecgar-actmag-c-173/cz-75b-cz-75bd-cz-85-or-cz-75-sp01-9mm-26-rd-magazine-11109-p-1401.html

I like arched, but on the guns I had with a functioning grip safety It made it easier for my handsize to not fully depress it, leading to me readjusting my grip on the clock to get a "live" gun.

Do you plan on shooting major? Why not a threaded barrel SP01 Tactical? With 170mm mags.

Maybe other people are not honest in their numbers? Or are using a different trigger pull gauge and technique than you are. I also prefer the stock hammer. You say you want reliable ignition, then accept the set up you have rather than chasing numbers.

nothing that is free

You're right. It is what thrust him into the spotlight and got him his CZ deal.

I have a .40 TSO ordered for me. I can't wait to try it out.

had a sig 2022 in 9mm for first matches. then glock 34. then sig 220. then glock 21sf. then cz75b. then glock 41. then a dozen sp01 shadows of various. then tac sport, atlas titan, p10c, glock 19, sti edge, sti eagle, sti trojan, 4 shadow 2's.... and that's only what i remember. an none of the rifles or shotguns i've shot in various matches.

Dry fire an equal number of draw, reloads and transitions. Especially in varying light conditions.

i have the -13% ones from ilwt. i bought the -20% but i am returning them for the +20% ones. robert advised me to do this to increase the dwell time of the bolt in battery to allow the small amount of gas i was making with 147's and fast powder have time to be used to maximum effect. also to very positively move the bolt forward and strip rounds off of very full mags under a lot of pressure. especially with how the low power hammer spring of my drop in trigger changes the timing of the bolt as it moves rearward. my -13 springs have quite a few kinks in them that my stock springs never got. my stock extractor spring wore out in about 2k rounds. i bought an ultra sonic cleaner for the gas plug/valve as nothing i did truly cleaned it. the tappet was easy to clean. i have a stock sig tappet and an ilwt tappet. i have a stock sig plug and an open gen 2 ilwt one. (i run a timney trigger and had my gas port opened by zrt in a stock sig carbine barrel)

Just cause it passed at a level 2 match or higher means nothing other than no one got caught. I can't tell you how many times my gun was weighed or my mags measured for CO at multiple Nats. Oh wait I can, it's been never. And I know for a fact people shot illegal guns in being overweight or mags too long at the recent optic nats. (Because they told me so and were counting on a lax procedure, which just so happened.) Remember the outrage a few years ago at the Area match where they bumped all the Lim shooters to Open for overlength mags? I can't count how many people's eyes are opened when they borrow my mag gauge. Thankfully my gun has the weight built into it, hahaha, I had to worry about losing it to shoot CO, not add it.

Yep, my signature line says it all.

People stay in D normally because of themselves. It is entirely on them. Even old people, even people with bad eyes. Getting out of D is aaallllll bout getting a handle on the basics. Basics.

Because SS minor feels exactly like Production to me the few times I've shot it. If I do something different, I want it to be different and SS minor isn't different enough from Prod to even interest me. But 8 rounds and major, that's different enough for me.

I'd be interested in SS if it was 8 round major only...

Less than you getting hit by a meteorite while being attacked by a great white shark as twin red heads watch.

Did i miss the finalized rules? I don't see the CO appendix as no longer provisional...

Let me clarify where I'm coming from on this issue. -many of the behaviors to get to GM are shared, if not exactly the same between the people described as either "paper" or "top level" GM's -using the term "paper gm" as a pejorative belittles the accomplishment of something that 98% of people in uspsa will never ever attain -it is a fact that a great majority of GM shooters do not shoot 95% or greater at nationals. to use match finish to describe someone as a paper gm is misguided and contrary to the data.

Oh, and if you look in here you find and old thread from another respected, national top 10 shooter who has a post asking "what are the easiest classifiers to make gm?" The horror, someone trying to find the easiest classifiers for gm. Total paper gm behavior right? Oh wait, that's Matt Mink. The paper gm argument is weak.

yep an example directly given in the match director rule book is you can not ask people to ignore targets they see and pretend they're not there. asking you to do so is lazy stage design and building at best and illegal at worst.

Being good at and practicing classifiers is never going to hurt you. Saying you're only good at stand and shoot aka classifiers or only good at stages but not at classifiers is just making excuses. People who throw the term paper gm around need to take a look inside themselves.

I shot all of the classifiers, across all 9 days. I never layed it up and went for it on each and every one. No one I know was dinking around at nats on any stage as we all know the value of a single point. Talking about Carry Optics (I was 22nd overall in that division) 18-04, I was 9th overall for that stage. So my score is one that could have been used to determine the HHF for that classifier. At nats that was a 78% run but in my record it is an 87% classifier. And then for 18-08 I was 22nd overall for that stage in the match at 85% but for a classifier it was worth 92%. Now Limited 10 (where I shot minor and was 11th overall in the divsion) and for 18-01 I was 3rd overall in the match, so my score again could have been used to determine the HHF for the classifier. In the match I shot got me 88%, but as a classifier it is worth almost 92%. Same match let's look at 18-03, I was 5ht overall and another one that could have been used for determining the HHF and at nats that was an almost 92% run. But as a classifier it counts as only 86%....... I haven't bothered to cross check any of my Prod ones because I'm still pissy about going from 94.2 to 88 in one week because of the nats classifiers.
