    Ammo Catching @ match

    in Little things I've Noticed

    Posted · Edited by CSStreett

    I'm not cool enough to catch the round in the air and I'm smart enough to not cover the ejection port with my hand. I just let the round land on the ground then pick it up. I don't think the flip/catch is unsafe and it doesn't bother me but seeing someone cover the ejection port with their hand and eject the round into it makes me cringe.

    Why does ejecting the round into your hand make you cringe? Seeing people eject live round onto the ground make me run for cover.
    If they loose control of slide and primer of partially ejected round hits ejector and detonates then shrapnel goes into hand covering ejection port. I have seen pictures of this with a Glock in a training bulletin. Not a pretty sight.
    That make sense. Thanks.

    One shot is not gummy unless you use about ten times more than needed. That's why I don't like other more traditional lubes like Dillon. Yes I agree Dillon carbide dies are great. But they are awesome when used with lube. :)

    Sounds pretty dusty for you. I am glad to not have to worry about anything like that. I have to worry about keeping humidity down in the summer though.

    Its always better with lube.

    Doubt you will notice as difference. I hade a few hundred magnum primers that someone gave me. Loaded them along with my CCI small pistol. No noticeable difference.

    For those that shoot an open Glock in .40, are you suing factory ammo or a custom load? My G22 gets back from Bobby Carver Thursday.

    Anyone running moly coated or just FMJ?

    Video. Shooting video of matches and training sessions really helps you to pinpoint areas where you are not performing as well as you can.

    +1. I've always Hated watching myself on video, but It really does make a difference.

    Headshots or shoot between the no shoots?

    Good advice from all depending on each shooters ability.

    My shooting theory is, if I take the time, no matter what the amount of time is needed for my shooting ability, to aim at the head shot, given this target set up, then why not use that same amount of time and shoot at the "larger" A zone of the body. If you approach it in the positive thinking process, there is only an A zone to shoot at, as was previous mentioned from another shooter. I prefer the larger shooting area then the smaller area.

    If a person took the head area of a target and removed it from the rest of the target, then took and just cut the area of the lower A zone of a target, and you placed them both at the same distance from the shooter. And that was the only two targets of a COF, which target would have the most shots at and hits in it at the end of the day? Given that a shooters goal was to hit the exact center (just using an example) of the A zone of the head or the exact center of the body A zone, the shooter has a far more margin of error on the larger A zone to miss the exact center vs. the head margin and achieve the goal.

    What surrounds the A zone should not distract you from your goal.

    And yes, I have shot a lot of No Shoots with this theory of mine. But, that just shows me that I have to work on shooting more A zones. Hence, why I keep going back to the matches Saturday after Saturday. My destination has not been met yet, I am sill on the journey.

    I love this shooting game!!!

    Awesome Advice! I think that's the quote of the week.

    How do you count that fast?

    We shot CM 06-03 (Can you count) at our local club match this past weekend. It amazed me how many shooters have trouble with this.

    They have trouble because it is outside the norm and they don't realize it. Sure, sounds easy enough...shoot 5, reload, shoot 5...but how many times do you have an odd number of hits on a target? I bet there are people who can (and do) shoot 6 on each target faster than they can shoot 5 on each target. We train to put everything in pairs with USPSA paper targets, and so it becomes a habit to put 6 where it calls for 5...
    I agree 100%. Most shooters practice Bill Drills, Blake Drills and 4 aces. We hardly ever shoot an odd number.

    It's beer heaven here in San Diego. I've forgotten that "corporate" beer even exists. Once you have a Stone/Ballast Point/Ale Smith IPA...paradigm shift!

    My comment earlier about "Domestic" beer should have been, don't have any desire for

    "Corporate" beer. Sierra Nevada, Stone, Dogfish Head....the list could go on and on and on. They, in my opinion, brew some of the Best beer in the World.

    I can't take the carbonation in the domestic varieties, still OK in England.

    I don't have any desire for domestic beer either. Newcastle and Bass ale are among my top 20.
