I am only short on 9mm projectiles

Haha. I should have picked up on that. I thought it was a little sad that I had to explain what MAP was.
Where'd you snag it for 355? I'd jump on 399 if I could get it.
It was at Optics Planet, they made me a deal I could not refuse

It's the manufacturer's Minimum Advertised Price that retailers agree not to go below. The MAP on the R1P is 399.99 currently.
I knew what MAP meant
i was asking what the MAP price was
Sorry I was not more clear

I paid $355 several months ago for a 6 MOA

What is MAP price!

23+1 wont run

Then you are likely to be 8-15% below HHF at best
You are in the 96.6- 89.25 Stage points range in a best case scenario all the while gambling

9 minutes ago, Racinready300ex said:105 point stage Current HHF for CO is 9.6 that shooters time was 10.09 only about 45 shooters have shot it so far. For reference the top Open and PCC shooters where .5 seconds faster and we know they didn't reload. Top limited shooter (local GM) was 11.48, bet he reloaded.
My guess, Ben wouldn't reload with 23 or 24 in the gun. But I'm not Ben.
Are you a GM that has a chance to match or closely match the HHF? If not you should just man up and reload

I guess I should hope to get to your level someday. I can't drop my gun nail a reload in two steps faster then I can just transition the gun straight over to the next target while taking two steps. Certainly not 10 out of 10 times like you can.
I'm sure there will be 4-500 CO shooters in that match, I still bet that the stage winner wont reload. You can take the spare and play it safe, I'll take my chances. Not gonna win playing it safe in a 5 stage match.
What is the likely HF for this stage? Sounds like a potentially high HF stage, but a low points stage. What are the likely stage points differences between the two plans? Is your gamble worth a possible 3-6 stage points if your perfect run scenario played out?

What Would Ben Do? (For those that don’t do acronyms) -
I find it highly unlikely the WS will take place as scheduled.
FIS has cancelled the remainder of the ski season
ATP/WTA have cancelled Indian Wells event
NBA season is on hold
Travel ban for Europe
hmm, just do the math

So... this is probably going to sound confrontational, and I'm honestly not trying to be. This is an actual, legitimate question, with no veiled or implicit criticism of anyone. But I've seen this happen a lot recently, and I'm genuinely curious. What's the appropriate context, if any, for criticizing vendors or gear in this forum?
I'm not the type of person to start or derail a thread just to complain, but I have had a couple of bad experiences with some popular vendors (including RHT). Normally, I'm content to just vote with my wallet and not stir anything up online, but if someone asks a direct question about a specific item from a specific vendor that I had issues with, I feel like it's fair to mention negative first-hand experience, and that I'd actually be doing the questioner a disservice by not bringing up.
Again, I can totally understand trying to keep things civil if there are questionably-relevant screeds being posted, and people start arguing just to argue. But I'm a little unclear as to where that bar is, based on some recent observations.
Interesting.... Note my deleted post in this thread. Kind of silly, but I decided to delete the post about a minute after I posted it.

Combine Para, Ruger, Beretta, Styer in the Factory Pistols section and just create a CO Forum, it would have a lot more traffic than those sub-forums

not going to argue with this,
I would assume once the weight limit for Prod and CO reaches 80 ounces they will allow race holsters

Just because a gun will hold 23+1 does not make doing so a good idea. We always talk about reliability etc.....
With the right mag (21), base pad (TTI, Henning, Springer take your pick) and the correct guts (Grams) you can ALWAYS get a reliable 22+1 for a start or a reload.
Take chances and sometimes you get unhappy consequences.... Gamble as you may

For example I shot the GFDS postal match stages the other day. Stage "It's not Gay if it's JJ" is 21 rounds with 3 steel and a tight headshot in the back. Not really any movement in the stage to hide a reload. I'd prefer to start at 24 rounds just in case, even though I only needed 22. Having the option in your bag of tricks and knowing when it might come to play can save your ass. And that one time it does could mean the match.
As I said, it is a possible scenario, just not very likely in the realm of statistics and problability

Ok, I only go to the line with 22+1 for the sake of reliability. In all seriousness, is that extra round really needed? Are you whiffing on steel? If you are going anywhere near 1 for 1 on steal and have a decent stage plan on a medium to long field course you will have a reasonable point to reload in the first 22 rounds. Is there a possibility of a unique stage that REALLY rewards 23 rounds? Sure, but it is the exception rather than the rule.
Store your mags with 23 rounds for a while and see if they get more reliable with 23+1

I had a RHT with a Boss hanger, but just switched to this
First match with it is Saturday, but feels great so far.
Black Scorpion Gear, $89 for the hanger and holster (Carbon finish was an extra $5)
Here is a view from a different angle

I am beginning to think pull weight is way less important on the clock than pre and over travel being minimal

The silence from the powers that be is deafening in this thread

I am using the Sig Romeo Pro 1, too new to make a judgement but I like it so far
Take a look at the Holosun 407k, looks like a winner

Legion trigger/FCU has different geometry than previous P320’s

XTG Module

8 minutes ago, Manwithnoname said:I’m just saying if you need anything else I would prioritize the XTG module as last. It’s nice, it’s not the end all. Granted, this is my opinion.
I have the Legion, and I agree. Not sure the weight is that big of a deal.
Soft ammo and being sprung right along with a nice crisp trigger (not necessarily super light pull) is more important in my opinion.

Funny, but dot size seems to depend on the brand/model you get. Some RDS are better small, I am currently using a SIG Romeo Pro 1 and the consensus is it is best in 6 MOA.

If it were me (and I'm well on my way with my Legion), I wouldn't both getting a new slide from Sig. I do get wanting Sig to have a better finish and to make it right but a new slide will have the same coating.
I would go get a DLC coating on it to protect the underlying metal and use the crap out of it. It's $100 for the slide.

But if you aren't sure you'll stick with this pistol, maybe not worth it.
That is certainly a great option. I had a custom 1911 done in DLC and it was an amazing finish
