I don't like getting my clothes dirty.

Chrome!

What start position is that at?

I guess if the stage was nothing but 50 yard plate racks they'd have a big advantage.

I don't think anyone is flipping rounds in the air to look cool, it's a fast/efficient way to clear the gun and retain the round I did not know that you are on the clock clearing your pistol !!! Turn the gun over, ejection port down and let the round fall to the ground, after you holstered and range is declared safe, pick your round up. You have just lost 5 to 10 seconds of your life by not being efficient, but you and the RO still have your vision, motor skills in your hands, etc. You have spent thousands in your equipment, ammo, travel, match fees, time, etc. One round lost in the grass is not worth it because the round was not "retained". I would not want to see any shooter or RO get hurt, and I truly believe that you would not want it either. Do you have any actual reason to believe that anyone has been or ever would be hurt by catching a round? I don't. I have seen inexperienced shooters muzzle themselves attempting this- but that doesn't stop me from doing it.

Disappointed to see suppressors aren't allowed, but I guess it's hard to pick up the shot without them at times.

No, keep it on the receiver.

With the baseplate how many rounds are you getting in the mag?

That looks dope, those safeties look perfect!

You won't notice a difference with or without a comp. Most of the recoil when shooting one is from the bolt slamming around.

What about those child sized metal targets we shoot at?

A carbine rifle is faster and more accurate than a pistol. Head to head, pistols cannot compete. In a match overall rankings, a rifle will be dominant. Will you still want to shoot a USPSA. Match given that those who bring a PCC will destroy you? I really don't care, just consider the question. Most stages at a USPSA match open guns will still dominate with mobility and scoring.

Is this for real?

Can't you just unbag in the safe area, walk muzzle up to the start position, and wait until told to make ready while everyone is scoring the last shooter? Then after ULSC walk muzzle up to the safe area and bag the rifle while others begin scoring? This is what we've done at the rifle matches I've attended and it seems pretty efficient. IT a 10 min walk from the safe area to the pits. Guess I'm just used to having a table at every bay that is the safe area.
