Anybody know what happened to Nils?
Another site is stating he broke 180 on a reload.

Took the drive out from Phoenix with a couple of friends this past weekend to shoot the July match. It wasn't a disappointment. 63 shooters 6 stages, very well organized and they gave out some random draw prizes(I won one of them) so that was a nice surprise. Already planned to shoot the October match since I will be in Califorina anyway. Thanks TTI for supporting the shooting sports.....
Thanks for coming out Dave. We're glad you and your friends enjoyed the match so much and we look forward to seeing you all back in October.

i'm used to seeing a more detailed listing in the other sport i used to shoot. basically i'm trying to see how many people in prod and b class without having to scroll through 434 names individually and then enter their uspsa number. doesn't seem to be that detailed of a report. thank you though.
You are welcome. I am still trying to get used to the fact that Rio uses PS. Perhaps someday we may even use it in SoCal
Well, the good news is that you are tied with Sevigny...
See you tomorrow!
I was told by one of the members of Linea De Fuego that they will begin using PS next month.

We started using PS at the DWB Action Pistol, X3 Multigun, and TTI Rifle matches at Piru, but these aren't USPSA matches. I'd love to see SWPL move to that system so that we could actually get our scores quickly, but because that match is so open as far as start times go, it is impractical right now unless every person or small group that showed up together got their own ipad/Nook.

OAL is the key. When I got my Eagle 6.0 .40 my Freedom Munitions loads did the same thing. I had my friend load me up some 1.180 OAL loads and the problem went away.
-
YES, they messed up the dates on that link to the schedule It IS Friday, Saturday, Sunday the 6th , 7th, 8th
Lol. Thanks. I was worried I made hotel reservations for the wrong dates.
-
Did they mess up the dates on the schedule listed on the schedule or did the match change to a Sat, Sun, Mon match? http://www.riosaladodesertclassic.com/2015-schedule/.
-
Stages are up! This is going to be a great match.
-
Can anyone reccomend a cheap, clean, and safe place to stay the night before. We will be coming from SoCal, if that makes a difference.
Since it is Valentines day weekend, prices will be higher than usual. There are a good amount of motels (Motel 6, Days Inn, etc.) in Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo that may be around the 100 dollar per night rate. I'd suggest booking sooner than later since rooms tend to fill up for the holiday weekend.
We're staying at the Travelodge in SLO. Reasonable price, decent place.
-
That clears it up...LOL
Yeah, unfortunately with California laws these matches are better suited for people that are already trapped here in the state. Though our all-knowing legislature provided a competition exemption to the AW laws, they didn't do so for "large capacity magazines." The only thing you could do is potentially use someone else's that is at the match with you "under their direct supervision."

I was thinking about driving out from Phoenix one weekend, what are the laws or what do I need to do to make my rifle able to bring to California?
I suggest consulting with an attorney before attempting to enter CA with your rifles and magazines. There is a competition exemption in the Penal Code, but I'm not sure how many LEOs are aware of it:
30665. Sections 30600, 30605, and 30610 shall not apply to the
possession and importation of an assault weapon or a .50 BMG rifle
into this state by a nonresident if all of the following conditions
are met:
(a) The person is attending or going directly to or coming
directly from an organized competitive match or league competition
that involves the use of an assault weapon or a .50 BMG rifle.
(b ) The competition or match is conducted on the premises of one
of the following:
(1) A target range that holds a regulatory or business license for
the purpose of practicing shooting at that target range.
(2) A target range of a public or private club or organization
that is organized for the purpose of practicing shooting at targets.
© The match or competition is sponsored by, conducted under the
auspices of, or approved by, a law enforcement agency or a nationally
or state recognized entity that fosters proficiency in, or promotes
education about, firearms.
(d) The assault weapon or .50 BMG rifle is transported in
accordance with Section 25610 or Article 3 (commencing with Section
25505) of Chapter 2 of Division 5.
(e) The person is 18 years of age or over and is not in a class of
persons prohibited from possessing firearms by virtue of Chapter 2
(commencing with Section 29800) or Chapter 3 (commencing with Section
29900) of Division 9 of this code or Section 8100 or 8103 of the
Welfare and Institutions Code.

"And you are correct. The apex trigger will put you out of production." - LilBunniFuFu
Are you referring to the Apex FSS trigger only? Because as far as I know, my Apex CAEK trigger kit is production division legal.
The CAEK is just a spring kit. As soon as you change the physical trigger itself, it bumps you out of production and into Limited.
-
Met Kyle Lamb .. This week and shot his M&P with a salient trigger ... Fell in love his shot just like a 1911 trigger. But I have never shot the Apex FSS trigger either .. Was trying to read up on it...Want to build a gun like lambs .. But not sure if I should just get the APEX FSS kit??? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..... Reliability and light strikes are a big concern for me.: I'm not concerned with which is cheaper but which is best.... Has to work 100% Thanks
I have put over 15k rounds through my M&P9 Pro 5" with Apex FSS and Competition Striker Spring. Ammo has been a mix of Federal American Eagle, Freedom Munitions, and handloads using CCI and Federal primers. In all that time I have never had a light strike or any ignition issue.
-
When will the trigger upgrade for existing FSS customers be available? I've been waiting for this ever since it was teased at SHOT Show.
-
Wilson Combat just came out with a drop-in barrel, but I haven't seen many reviews of it yet.
-
I spoke to Bar-Sto today... the M&P9 5" barrel I have had on order for 2 years is shipping out today. I will post photos and a review here when it arrives.
Did you get the Semi-Fit or Match Target?
Any word if they will be doing a .40 barrel?

Looks like the .40 is available: https://www.barsto.com/category_main.cfm?ID=SWMP

You might want to look at the "Boss" hanger mentioned above. It's rock solid with the Blade-Tech or the CompTac.One caution on the Blade-Tech DOH for USPSA is that if you decide to go to any large matches, it is questionable whether it meets the 2" requirement for the distance from the gun to the inner-most belt. That bit me hard at the USPSA Nationals and I ended up just removing the DOH adapter. I talked to Blade-Tech and they said to meet the requirement I'd have to shim the bottom attachment on the DOH adapter.
Yeah, I'll be getting that for my Production rig now. For Limited I switched to a Ghost.

Check out Speed Shooter Specialties for the spring. I run a 13lb in my 9Pro and it works great. For a while I ran 125gr handloads moving about 970fps for my local non-sanctioned match and the gun cycled great and shot very soft.
-
Not yet. I was looking at one for my .40 but it doesn't have the accuracy issue my 9mm does. I might actually try the $160 Wilson Combat 9mm barrel first to see if that makes a big difference before I jump into a barrel I have to have a gunsmith fit.
-
S&W really impressed me by getting my gun back to me in just over two weeks. Unfortuantly they replaced my barrel with the single dimple version. I am planning to take it to the range on Friday, I will post my results.
Any update on how it shot?
-
Speed Shooter Specialties got the factory 9L/Pro barrel back in stock last night and I managed to grab one before they sold out. I'll report back to let everyone know if it is the new profile or the old.
Barrel came in last night and it has the old rifling. At least I have a spare barrel now. The hunt continues for the new version!
