  1. LOL, I've never seen a gun as big as a TS almost disappear in someones hands before. I wish I could offer some advice, but my hands don't even have the square footage to replicate your problem!
  2. Found your problem. You've got sasquatch hands. Should probably do something about that.
  3. FWIW the ads don't bother me at all, I'd much rather scroll past more of them than have the site shut down.
  4. I just spent 10 minutes trying to get this to happen. I couldn't. If my thumb is on top of the safety and I'm crushing the grip like I should be, no amount of support hand meat can push it up.
  5. Got a chance to shoot the JP5 as a stage gun at the Vortex JP Tri-Gun. While I only had ten rounds, and shooting them on the clock wasn't exactly helping me make a thorough assessment, I'll say you can believe the hype. The recoil impulse felt so close to identical to a Ruger 10/22. It was ridiculous. My well tuned blowback gun has nothing on it. I've only shot an MPX once but it beat my memory of that. The one caveat was that you couldn't pull the charging handle back a little to verify a loaded chamber, apparently that jams things up right quick.
  6. When you say "bump", do you mean that you are accidentally engaging the safety while shooting? I occasionally did this till I installed the CZC extended safety and changed my grip to have my thumb riding the safety.
  7. Show up an hour early to every match.
  8. I've got CMC's, Hiperfire's, JP, Triggertech, Elftmann's and Timney's. For 3 gun my favorite is the Calvin Elite followed by the Elftmann 3 Gun. Hate 2 stage for 3 gun, never liked any Geiselle's, the Larue single stage is decent on a budget, the CMC 2.5lb is better on a budget. Any of them that you practice a lot with will be fine.
  9. I don't own one but everything I've ever heard about them is excellent.
  10. Got it in August 2021, most foods have returned to tasting normal but eggs are still messed up. Which is a shame, I love eggs when they taste right. The weirdest thing was that s#!t, farts, farms, sewage plants, anything in that smell category had the exact same weird smell. That's back to normal now. Spray paints, other aerosols, nail polish, paint thinner, things like that all have the same unpleasant smell still.
  11. Trusting IL law enforcement in any regard is a gamble..
  12. Oh I wouldn't be against owning some myself, but I can't see myself wearing it from 7am to 3pm at a match.
  13. Yes they do. I recently went to a local rifle match that unbeknownst to me at the time of registration was a "tactical" match, and I was amazed by the number of 23 year old kids walking around with multi thousand dollar night vision set ups on their helmets in broad daylight. I can't imagine the full plate carriers and hydration setups or KAC rifles were cheap either.
  14. That's not inflation, it's just the Hodge business model. They mostly do secret squirrel .gov contracts, so the timmies get all bonered up and every time a Hodge product is released to the civilian market they go nuts.
  15. Do you have a hammer? Preferably like a waffle head framing hammer? Can't be a gunsmith without one.
  16. Off the top of my head? Cobalt Kinetics Pro Brake, SJC Titan or Titan Extreme, Sparrow Dynamics 3 Port, Tooth and Nail Cannibal, Armalite tunable brake, Ultradyne Apollo S, although its jam nut system might make pinning a little complicated.
  17. I'm excited/hopeful for it. On one hand I kinda wish it was a later car so it would be slightly easier to add miniscule amounts of power, on the other hand, if it's going to be slow anyway it might as well be a simpler early 944. I've got other machines if I just want to go fast in a straight line.
  18. Sticking money into a MK6 GTI currently, if all goes well I'll pick this outside-of-barn find up soon and start dumping money into it next:
  19. Don't get me wrong, I've been embarrassed by them more than once and probably wished they didn't exist in the heat of the moment, but once I cool down I'm glad there are challenges in the sport and it's not all hosefest all the time.
  20. That does all sound less than optimal, and I understand your frustration, but I've seen similar things at all manner of outlaw and UML 3 gun matches, so it doesn't seem fair to blame it on USPSA.
  21. Where you at the match? Kinda curious to hear from people that were. Should probably start a different thread though.
