  1. The S3 Range Cart Tray Fix modifies the fragile clamping mechanism combining a stainless steel insert and 3D printed PETG clamping fixture. Our modification allows the tray table to hold approximately 3 times the weight as advertised. For Gator Frameworks music stand tray Fits S3/Zuca Range carts Increase weight capacity by 3x 3D printed using PETG and 18-8 stainless steel contact plate Fixes broken clamping mechanism Lanyard hole to prevent loss (if you take your tray off each time) https://www.fgsengineering.com/product/s3-range-cart-tray-fix/
  2. Sections should have slots withheld until bylaws are not only on file at HQ but also available on the HQ's website to review for both transparency and legality. It sounds like a lot of these sections may/may not have valid bylaws in place or worse, ones that violate RRoR/state/federal law.

  4. You guys should really look into GPDR because this type of arrogance is exactly the one that ends up with a pissed EU citizen. This forum targets not only USPSA but also IPSC so trying to claim it's only for a US-based audience isn't going to fly in a court with the powdered wigs.
  5. At this point we can’t have a casual conversation and actually dive into the reasons of why shooters feel this way and it’s one of the reasons why most of the sub forums on here have died. I’m not going to be a party to censorship any longer just because someone’s feelings got hurt because A2 and A8 got stomped on when reinstating A7D. If that’s how this place is to continue to be ran, go ahead and send me a refund for the remaining part of my forum sponsorship because quite frankly, this is getting ridiculous.

  7. Voting for Cardinal (OH) Major international airport and hundreds of hotels all available with ~30 minutes Plenty of parking at the range with easy on/off the interstate Ohio gun laws are relatively friendly now with constitutional carry Talladega is nice and there's plenty of hotels since the area is used to 100K visitors several times a year but 90-120 minutes of driving after flying in before you even get to the hotel would be annoying. TMP needs to work with a statesman to get an exclusion for the 9am start time.
  8. I'd run production again at 15 rounds just to get trigger time on my most hated platforms, Glock, simply for the fact of practice for GSSF. Otherwise leaving it at 10, I have no real use for it except for instances of lowcap matches like Lafe's this year.
  9. Several mentions of E&O insurance providing a defense for the organization but the real issue here is that any insurance company worth a salt is going to NOPE out of that duty the moment they find out that the org signed (or renewed) the policy that they were not an actual corporation. 3.3.1 would've been difficult to prove depending on the firearm except for those that didn't exist in 2013 (like most of the popular CO guns as well as the Sig PCC). The real problem with 3.3.1 are the implications for those who are in a cleared job field despite it only being a misdemeanor, it's still a charge that you'll be reporting to your FSO or listing on your next SF86. Having gone public with this in the form of a lawsuit, I don't feel that Joe will allow this to settle out of court for several reasons: (1) he already claims his due process was violated. (2) a settlement will have confidential terms as well as no admission of fault - because of the alleged actions by the board, it's unlikely he would accept this outcome because the large number of exhibits produced clearly demonstrates that he intends to hold the board accountable. (3) he has nothing to loose as he's already banned from the sport and the lawsuit will turn the 1 year duration into a permanent lifetime sentence should he lose.
  10. 1/4 the cost of similar aluminum ones while remaining incredibly strong. Printed from super-durable PETG, won't warp/crack/deteriorate. Available as a kit with hose and a soda bottle lid adapter or just the chute. Kit Chute only
  11. https://www.fgsengineering.com/product/glock-44-magazine-loader/ Video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ct1Ze_uOtVT/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Prevents sore thumbs when loading Glock 44 magazines Convenient lanyard hole for keyring or 550 cord (keyring included) Ultra-durable, will not bend or break under pressure Highly resistant PETG provides protection against heat, sunshine and chemicals Works in any direction - no worrying if you have it upside down or not There's a ton of these on Ebay/Etsy but they're all made from PLA which will degrade with sunshine over time. They're also a one-way fit so you'll be fumbling to use it. My goal was to create something that would give years of service for Steel Challenge, GSSF, or just general plinking. $6.99
  12. Then it sounds like the org needs a better processor. I'm paying less than that on what banks claim is a "high risk" merchant account (FFL).
  13. The assumption on this one is that it includes credit card fees but there's more to it because at the normal 2-3% processing fee the math still doesn't add up
  14. It just blows my mind at the ones telling us to pick one FTSA or DQ -- well no where in the rulebook gives them this determination. You either have a DQ or you don't, it's not a decision to be made, it's clearly defined in the rulebook. You can't claim unsportsmanlike DQ for shooting a prop, whether intentional or not. Does it get into unsafe gun handling? Well, guess what, the rulebook also spells that our clearly. Gaming the heck of of the stage? Absolutely. Being able to point to a rulebook entry on where the DQ is allowed, yeah that's not going to happen because it doesn't exist. In IT, we call this a HR matter trying to be fixed by an IT policy. In this case, it's a poorly designed stage that should've been fixed before the first shot is fired rather than trying to armchair quarterback it with the rulebook the following day.
  15. Thanks for the photo share. The small size is one of the reasons I like this one. There is on less to snag on when shooting or just going about your match throughout the day.
  16. A lot of work on some mags - I have a few that only a dremel with the wire brush wheel would touch and at that point it was obvious that a marking had been removed. Some customers have wanted both an etching and the black mark so its both visible and still exists if someone breaks the (black) oxide layer. MOPA also seems to do better with the chromium oxide layer and that works well for just about anything except reusable surgical instruments put in an autoclave.
  17. I didn't realize how many mags I had until I started numbering them
  18. After a while of working with my fiber laser, I'm comfortable enough to announce that basepads and tubes are now on the plate. There are really two types of marking, either a deep engrave/etch or on some metals like stainless steel a deep rich black mark. The black mark is a chemical change to the steel and won't rub off. This is a very similar process to flame anodized guns/compensators. Aluminum looks great with a deep mark since it brings out the bright white raw look of the metal. Polymer can be done with varying results. Gen 3 Pmags look the best overall and I keep some of these in stock so if you just want some cool custom mags, they can be shipped next day. Markings can be flashy or discreet -- text height of 1/16th is still completely readable. Pricing does vary a bit depending on what you're looking for (sometimes an art fee if you want a custom logo) but generally speaking $5/basepad or tube with minimum shop charge of $50. Discounts start at 25+ items. Turnaround is currently < 1 week. https://fgsarms.com/magazine-engraving-services/
  19. I considered doing a magnet+cup setup like Lafe/Gx Products however I felt that just went too far in copying his idea. Cam lock levers are nothing new in the industry however keeping them indexed to a certain spot on a holster is something I've only seen Lafe do. It's super simple to put a quick pocket in the lever and attach it with some black locktite/epoxy. Just about any magnet size imaginable can be found on eBay for cheap. Just search "neodymium magnets"
  20. https://www.fgsengineering.com/product/quick-lock-holster-lever/ Video: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CnINOTLpyk8 Everyone's seen these before but I finally found a supplier who had them for a reasonable cost so I decided to get one to try and was quite impressed. It brought new life to my circa 2005 Blade Tech 5" XD holster and it's perfect timing for the Kentucky Low Cap match in April! Fits #8 screws (Tek-lok) 110lb clamping force Aluminum lever, steel screw 30mm long, cut to desired length when installed - not really necessary if you're using a BOSS hanger Made in Germany -- no Chinese BS
  21. SS wasn't provisional until 2006 and turned official in 2008.
  22. Why not? It's "Limited" and "Optics" married together. Why shouldn't Major PF an option? It's already been shown you can win Limited Nationals shooting minor so why all the fuss? There's distinct advantages of both larger capacity and major scoring.
  23. So what changed between now and May when Troy specifically said that limited optics wasn't being considered? If you won't create a division based upon the items you're manufacturing, you either find somewhere that will allow it or you create your own.
  24. STI turned their back on people who built their company chasing blue line dollars. Pepperidge Farm remembers when they produced a pair of guns that had the USPSA logo engraved on the slide. If I ever go back to wanting a 2011, it'll come from SVI or someone else who actually won't spit in our faces. Edit: I can't spell
  25. Keeping it minor scoring, just as well changed CO to allow single action and throw out the production gun list. This division makes absolutely no sense and it's not going to attract enough new shooters. Single Stack was brought about with the idea that "everyone has a 1911 in their safe, bring it and compete" ... that didn't grow the sport by any large numbers.
