Every single coated bullet I've tried has had a level of issues with weight, coating, diameter and consistency at the press that makes me question my usage of them every every every single time and I go back to a plated of fmj. What do you want? Cheap bullets or more forgiving and consistent projectiles? Also not I have never said anything negative about the accuracy of coated bullets.

If you found out you could lock your car door by slamming it, 95% of the time, would you stop using the key, fob or button? What about when you parked your car in a sketchy place? Still rely on slamming it?

The better a person gets at figuring out stages the less this an issue. You cant count on others to help you , but you can work on your own abilities. I'd rather not leave my performance to another's actions. Simply that. I'm also a B last name and invariably shoot first. So I've had my fair share of first shooter, first stage at nationals and on down. I've seen some really poor behavior by people who cant be nice and or cant figure a tough stage out. (From D class to GMs you've seen on top shot) So again, I'd rather rely on me. Not meant to be mean or against anyone specifically.

We normally have two co and two pcc on average at matches around here.

gen 2 mpx berrys 147 rnfp 1.100" and didn't feed well. absolutely not in gen 1 mags rmr 147 rnfp 1.100" and would feed well. 50/50 in gen 1 mags. acme 145 round nose. 1.130" and feeds well. have not tried in gen 1 mags. i have polished the feed ramp/s on my gun. i have diamond filed the lips on my mags. i run the exact same load i'm using in my pistols with no consideration given to pcc specifically. i have found that my gun likes round nose bullets better and longer rather than shorter. i have tried other's ammos and some factory ammo but i do not have their oal.

Only things you can change with your skill level, with the tools you have on hand, in 3 minutes time. Fiber optic rod for front sight Slide stop firing pin spring magazine spring magazine follower firing pin once you get into fixing other things you're better off having a spare gun if you can't fix your problem on your own in the span of two shooters on the stage. on the other hand, a years worth of springs and parts at home and a diligent maintenance program keeps you from having issues at the match in the first place....

If I am shooting a match that is raining non stop all day I will use a spray that is tacky, almost glue like. Other than that, pro grip or dirt.

A PT Evo is definitely worth it in my experience and opinion. I've only handled/dry fired CK metal grips on guns in safe areas.

Even as just an average M I rise and fall somewhat to the level of those around me. If I'm on a squad of C and B shooters I do worse than on a squad of M and GM's. Now, I know that's on me but it is what happens. Strictly speaking at a major match where I probably don't know most of whom I'm squaded with.

Can you cut a hole in a slide for lightening and be ESP legal? As an example, building a G17 for ESP and cutting a hole in the top of the slide (albeit smaller) similar to that found on the G34. Can you cut a hole all the way through a slide for lightening and be ESP legal? I take 8.2.2.2 part Z where it says "other machining" to mean yes.

Accept the fact that most new people, even with an introductory class, will scare you and do something unsafe. More than once. To expect that you can get new shooters to be totally safe and competent before they hit up your match I think is unrealistic. Becoming safe at a match is basically all "on the job training" for most new shooters. That said, a specific new shooters meeting and stage brief/demo for the actual match is a good start. Secondly being squaded with a good mentor, who will actually be personable and help them. At a match of less than 20 people I bet you could find all sorts of one on one teaching moments to really help a new person during the course of a match.

In one gun it made a huge difference. In one gun none. In the gun where I saw no change I went back to the stock bushing. And like a lot of guns I had to spend a little time finding the right load it liked as well. I've seen huge differences in accuracy from different bullets, velocities and lengths.

I can't tell you an answer to your problem but I can tell you why I haven't shot ICORE matches, even when I was a member of a club with tons of revolover shooters, an icore match each month I could have shot for free, and i owned a revolver with appropriate gear. To me personally revolvers are the gun equivalent of motorcycles from the 60's. People like them, they have history, the work differently than modern bikes, people race them and some have really gone up in value. But for my time and money and emotional investment I want new. Modern. Revolver won't grow because I think many people have an unconscious bias that revolver equals "old". And most old things don't interest people if there is a modern equivalent. SASS grew because they embraced the fact the equipment is dated and historical. ICORE has nothing unique to offer to draw a person to it, as a new shooter, that you can't find other places. That sounds rough but to me it's the truth. The only thing I wish like say IDPA did with its time plus scoring is borrow the ICORE idea of an X ring time bonus. Make a small scoring area that if you hit you get a second off your time. If they made it 1sec per 1pnt down then might as well give you a potential bonus for standing there.

I have a green Crimson Trace laser on my MPX and I like it. But I agree that practicing a physical solution (plus laser) is something I would far rather do, and did versus running a 45 optic. One thing I did was shoot a bunch of idpa matches with my pcc. They normally have tighter shots and more forced leans. The first three matches I shot almost every barrel on every stage. So I had to adapt and really learn to understand the adage "The sight sees it, but does the barrel see it?" Guess, check and refine for a few hours in a bay will give you all the empirical evidence you need to figure out what works for you, your eyes, your body and your gun.

Because movement is independent of shooting skill. So they want to test your shooting more so than your moving. Goes back to the match skills versus classifier skills opinions people have and which is more important. One of my favorite classifiers is shoot at open targets from a box, run to another and shoot more open targets. No hand or reload requirements other than your own personal ones due to your divisional choice. 99-10. And all the classifiers with a barricade just feel like a throwback to the early days of the sport. If I want to shoot a classifier around a barricade I'd go back to IDPA hahaha.

I doubt you'll see any of the proposals other than the ones that are selected. I'm afraid to see what most people think is a good standard test of shooting skill! But the idea and the contest are super awesome and I hope it yields good results. (I have thought about entering a design or two myself)

Wonder when we'll get a peek at the match book.

Yes, move your left hand much much faster when drawing and reloading. Yes, understand that like playing the drums your different body parts will be doing different things at different speeds. We subconsciously time things to finish all at once when we're doing two or three things at once. Often that causes one or more of the processes to slow down. Feet can move independent of hands and at different speeds and vice versus. Going deep into a port or window is fine if it A. lets you keep your feet planted making it one shooting position versus two or three muddled together shuffling ones. and B. if you're able to shoot your way into and/or out of it. Find match video of the same match of people who were decent bit better than you to compare and contrast what you've done. Knowing both your hits and times from their and your run. This gives you an idea of a near or possible goal/standard to meet. Ttthhheeennn look at the very best people to see what the ultimate possibility is and to get a good visual model to copy. ps-I was 10th overall in Prod for this match, lots of A's but crap times. So if you want to compare notes about any specific stage I'd be happy to.

Aaaannnddd they are asking people to submit their ideas for classifiers as a contest. If yours is chosen and used in Nats you get a Techwear jersey.

yes, a great choice especially as you've been using cz's already. and as SC is just a draw and transitions you'll appreciate the short dust cover versus a sp01 or shadow 2 version.

I don't know... shooting all the poker chips out of holders that were no shoots, shooting clays out of stars where the plates were no shoots and so on. That kind of shooting challenge over and over again doesn't sound fun. When a match makes a huge 180 in tone I'm sure many people's expectations weren't met, going from hoser one year to super sniper the next.
