With most stages in my area being 17-18 rounds, the 15 round capacity is pointless in ESP or CO. Personal opinion is SSP was increased to 15 to attract new shooters or help the low level shooters that had to go to the 3rd mag. I tried SSP for a few matches, but the reload point takes some getting used to

Looking for recommendations for the following: magwell, extended mag release, fiber optic front sight.
Do the regular METE/Rival parts fit the MC9?Working on something for IDPA BUG division.
Thanks for the input

Might check at pistol gear, Springer, and powder River
The pistol gear seems more “tactical “. Springer looks like it’s only for the XdM.

Anyone ever find a decent XD magwell? I’m thinking of trying to mod an XdM Dawson Ice.

At this point the 5x5 is much harder than getting a bump to MA. I don't think I'm going out on a limb to say most MA's in this area can't shoot MA classification on the 5x5 and have likely never shot the longer 70 round classifier.
I've never shot the longer one for real, never even seen it done. I did play with it in practice some back when they first released it.
I’m in the opposite camp. I shoot MA in the 5x5 but only mid EX in the 72 or 90

You should ask in the shotgun sub forum. There’s a guy named Kurt that knows all things boomstick related

Scotch - The Dalmore 12, because it doesn’t taste like scotch

ESP MA via match bump. I've never shot a MA score in the long classifier but can in the 5x5. Was B class in USPSA Limited, C class in SS.

Yesterday's club match was 54% irons. ESP an SSP were even.

WML?
in IDPA Rules
Yes

R. A holster may be legal for some shooters but not legal for other shooters due to different body shapes.

Made up as they go might be worded a bit aggressively. But, you have to know what he means and of seen similar if you've been shooting IDPA as long as you claim.
I shot a level 3 this year and they were enforcing reloading rules in the open differently on two stages in bays that were right next to each other. They may not of literally been making it up, but it could certainly seem that way as you shot the match. I was also told at a level 2 this year that a popper was not engaged until it fell, shooting at it didn't count. At a level 4 I ran out of ammo on the last target and only shot once. I received a PE, and a FP on top of my -5 for that. We could debate which one I should of gotten, but why did I get both? 18 seconds of penalty time on a 17 second stage.
A more recent match I saw something that seemed silly to me. Prone position, shooting under a car. No cover, target equal distance engage in any order you want. But, there were fault lines, if you're foot was out you got a PE. Now the rule book says fault lines are there to ensure the shooter is behind cover, so why would they use them when there is no cover? Just to give out PE's? This was at the World Championship.
This was all just in the last year of major matches only. I think these are probably examples of what makes people think the rules are made up on the fly.
Did the MD approve your FP? -
I’ve been running one for 4 years with no problem. I believe it is the most popular magwell for 1911s that I have seen in idpa

Springer funnel must be a better mouse trap , no problem seating with their .25's
So what exactly good are the .3' Dawsons ? Sounds like that Funnel would make it not legal for USPSA CO, .3 pads that dont offer extra capacity offer no advantage.
ANd both funnel and pad make them not legal for IDPA.A. B.
Handguns permitted:
Handguns, associated modifications, restrictions, holsters, magazine carriers, calibers, start condition, and division capacity shall be compliant with ESP Division requirements, except as it relates to sights, lasers and overall weight.magwells and base pads are ok for IDPA. I have some of the Dawson .200 base pads with an ICE magwell on an XDM 5.25. I had to file the insert to get the mags to seat.

As you noted
8.2.1.3 SSP Excluded Modifications (Non-Inclusive list):
A. Externally visible modifications other than those listed in the Permitted Modifications section.
B. Aftermarket or visibly modified magazine releases, slide stops, safety levers, de-cocking levers, and hammers. -
Compete with 1911s, 2011s, XDm, and XD
carry XDS 9mm

If you’re thinking 1911, don’t overlook a 2011 like this.

Looking to pick up a 6moa venom. Anyone know of any sales?

3.6.3 When Fault Lines are used to delineate cover:
A. Fault Lines are used to ensure a shooter is behind cover when engaging targets from a Position of Cover (PoC). There will only be one Fault Line at each PoC, and that line applies to all targets engaged from that PoC.does this help?

I have a S&E e series that I bought second hand. The plunger tube came loose from the frame just like above. Smith fixed it under warranty with no questions asked. I think turn around time was about 6 weeks, but this was probably 6 years ago.

I had the same issue with my RO. Followed the above advice and no more problems.

Raised mag catch?
-
My wife has a G2S. She has had a few failure to feed/eject issues, but I think it is due to limp wristing. I have had zero issues when I shoot it. Trigger is terrible and sights are blah....but for the money it seems pretty decent.

Do you have an astigmatism?
i do and my dots look like crescent moons. Look at it through the camera on your phone and see if it becomes a round dot.
What's the current BUG meta?
