+1 on the I-Shot range bags. I've had mine for three years of pretty hard use, and it's still good as new!

Another option that I use is PrimoPDF which is a free print driver that creates pdf files from any application. If you can print it, then you can make a pdf out of it. More info at http://www.primopdf.com/

The brass looks the same coming out of my Kimber Eclipse Target. I've been told on a 1911 type gun it is probably the empty case catching the bottom edge of the ejection port on the way out. Some older models that didn't have lowered ejection ports could actually crease the brass to the point it couldn't be reloaded. I've not noticed any brass markings around the ejection port on my gun either, but it does throw them pretty forcefully to the right. I've also been told a little ding like that isn't a big deal, as it is pretty common. The solution was to tweak the profile of the face of the ejector to have it contact the ejecting case a little lower and that will help direct the empty "up and out". Since it appears to be just a cosmetic thing with the fired brass, I never pursued it further since I'm not a gunsmith and "it's best to know your limitations". RCNet

ParaJoe, I don't know much about webpage design, but I have dabbled a little with it. One option for a web authoring tool (if you decide to go that direction) that may work for you is Nvu. It's a free open source tool that works on Windows, Mac, or Linux and has a pretty good network of people helping out via forums and a wiki. You can find additional information at http://www.nvu.com/index.php I know a couple of people who seem to like it, and the price is right. Take care, RCNet

It has been a couple of years since I bought my Cannon S200, but the website that I really liked (and still do) for all things about digital cameras and digital photography is MegaPixel.net It is a monthly web magazine which includes galleries, forums, a long list of technical articles, and many comprehensive camera reviews with test photos included.

Hi Everyone, I recently started shooting USPA Production Div. with my Beretta 92FS and I have a quick question on the legality of using replacement rubber basepads on my magazines. My magazines are factory 15 round that I load to 10 for competition with the standard aluminum basepads. The baseplates are getting pretty beaten-up by constantly falling in the gravel during competition and practice. I was thinking of getting replacement rubber basepads from Beretta, but I'm wondering if I would be running afoul of the Prod. Div rules by doing so. The rule book says that limited modifications are allowed, but also states that no weighted attachements are allowed to the magazine. These rubber baseplates are maybe a tad heavier than the stock aluminum baseplates, and are ~1/4 inch thicker. I also saw an NROI ruling on external modifications which stated that exchanging parts from one approved gun to another approved gun was allowed, provided that it is a OEM part. Beretta includes magazines with the rubber basepad standard on the 92G Elite II which is also on the Production Handgun List. My question is, am I free to change to the rubber basepads for my 92FS since they are standard on the 92G Elite II, or am I going to have problems because they might be considered as "a weighted attachement" no matter how slight that weight may be? Thanks for your help!! Roger N.

Matt Burkett mentions using a forward pressure in his videos as well. I too am having a problem with my weak hand slipping as the gun recoils, and I think part of my problem is that I'm having a problem differentiating the positive pressure with just being tight. I hope to compete in my first IPSC match next month, but I'm fighting years of bad habits from general untrained plinking. Does anybody have any hints or tips for visualizing the meaning of positive pressure? Thanks, Roger N.

I too have been looking at safes and I'm thinking of going with one of the American Security BF series. One question I've had that I haven't found a suitable answer to is, "How heavy can the safe be before I need to think about reinforcing my floor?" The model I'm looking at is 800 lbs, and I have no feeling if this is too heavy for fairly typical three year old construction over a crawlspace. I know building codes differ by region, but I'm not sure who to ask to find out. I would be interested in hearing from others who have gun safes on how heavy they are, what kind of "foundation" they are installed on, and if you did anything special, (or had any problems ) after installation. Thanks for your help/insight. Roger N.
