  1. Saloman Spikecross is a good one.  It is a soft cleat with some small metal spikes about the size of the head of a screw. I've been wearing those for years now and if not those, you could try the speed cross.  they are really popular in the uspsa community.

  2. I've said it on here before but I prefer a heavier rifle.  I think it is more steady and yields better results than the lighter gun for me.   Under the clock I was never able to see much difference transition wise compared too my light guns on all the close stuff but at distance I could tell a difference.  My 18 rifle with optics weighed just under 11 pounds and I shot it better than any other rifle own.

    I have thought about an adjustable gas block I want to get another suppressor in 223 

    So the answer is no to the adjustable gas.  That will have a lot to do with the ejection pattern you are seeing.  If you do suppress it you could still run an adjustable  gas but if its will have a dedicated suppressor you may just wanna put the suppressor on and see how it acts with it and the factory  gas block.

  4. Do you have an adjustable gas block on that rifle?  Definitely sounds over gassed and I had a similar experience with a rifle a few years ago.  WAAAAY over gassed and a quick adjustment made all the difference in ejection pattern.

  5. I pulled the pin out of all my lowers that use the SCS.  Makes no difference really if its in or out but it does make removal a bit easier.  I'd say if you are going to stick with that setup (the scs) and take it out regularly to inspect/clean I'd go ahead and remove the buffer retainer.

  6. As mentioned above, keep them lubed and you shouldn't see any wear other than the typical spots that you'd see on any other carrier.  I've ran a JP for a while and have only noticed some finish worn off where the hammer contacts the carrier but no material wear.  And yes, they do shoot nice.  The JP is a bit pricy but I'd recommend one in a heartbeat!!

    Season 6 finale: The scene of Bridget with the chainsaw... epic!

    ... and the wait for season 7 begins....

    I know right!!!  I kinda thought this season was gonna be lame after the first couple episodes but turned out pretty good!!

  8. Not sure how true this is but I believe there is a difference in 9mm vs. 45acp  slide stops with SOME manufacturers.  I've never paid it much attention but I just found where some are made with a longer pad on the inside that reaches farther onto the follower.  Google it and see what you can find but I believe there may be a fix in another slide stop.  FWIW, I have an old STI trojan in 9mm that I use wilson mags with and they work great........never had an issue with them getting hung on the  slide stop.  May even consider trying a wilson mag OR one of their followers if you don't have any luck with the slide stop.

  9. Look at the bright side............you can only go up from there!!

     

    In all seriousness, its probably safe to say that everyones first match doesn't go as well as they had envisioned.  Now you know what you are in for next time and you have an idea of what you need to improve on.  Now go out and have a better next match!!

  10. Take your time and make sure everything is setup and adjusted properly before you start cranking out rounds.  I think the initial setup is crucial for error free loading.  Not sure that you "need" index pawls or upgraded shell plates but I added those to both mine.  Not sure what caliber you are loading but super seemed a little more troublesome for me than 40.  just took a little more attention to detail to get it to run error free.  I don't lube brass because I load what has already been resized and deprimed which is super smooth and there is almost no friction at all in the 1st station.  If you don't want to go to all that trouble, you should definitely lube cases to keep from possibly spilling powder from the "bump" that is caused in station 1.  Also, keep an eye on the shell plate as it indexes and make sure you aren't getting any powder splash at speed.  If you do, there are a few things available now to stop that OR you can use zip ties.  One last thing, make sure your expander die in station 2 is doing its job and that will cut down on the friction from belling at the powder measure station.
