  1. The BOC was wrong: 2.10 Safe Areas Safe Areas must be provided for all local and Sanctioned matches, in convenient locations and in numbers adequate to handle the volume of expected shooters. A Safe Area is defined as a designated area where the following rules apply: 2017 IDPA Rulebook 7 rev 2017.3 A. Each Safe Area must be clearly identified by visible signage, and include a table with the safe direction and boundaries clearly shown. B. Unloaded firearms may be handled at any time. This area is used for bagging or un-bagging a firearm, holstering, drawing, dry firing, or equipment adjustment. C. A Safe Area may also be used for inspections, stripping, cleaning, repairs, and maintenance of firearms, ammunition feeding devices, or related equipment. D. The muzzle of the firearm must be pointed in a safe direction. E. Handling of ammunition, loaded ammunition feeding devices, loose rounds, dummy ammunition, snap caps, simunitions, training rounds, or loaded firearms is not permitted in safe areas. F. A Safe Area may also be used, while accompanied by a SO, to render safe a firearm that has locked up and contains a live round or rounds. G. Reload practice within the Safe Area is not allowed. An empty magazine may be inserted into a firearm to test functionality or to drop the hammer on a firearm with a magazine disconnect, but reload practice is prohibited.
  2. I think Major Pistol is the one more similar to 3n38. Actually a little slower than the VV
  3. I set it so the tip was slightly above the wheel with no bullet present. The brush tip is softer than the standard and with some weight on the back end of the shaft, the marker will not get pushed up too much. This will create a broader line than the above picture
  4. yea, those lines suck. Try a brush tip Sharpie and wrap some tape around the shaft so the tip doesn't get pushed up by the passing bullet
  5. Not saying it’s not a great pistol but if it’s a PT EVO Grip and frame, how can the angles be any different than any other gun with a PT grip and frame
  6. Correct. The added weight seems to help make a broader, more uniform mark on the brass
  7. Option 2 without hesitation
  8. The reason to use a nitro fin is if you like the thumb position better than a frame mounted thumbrest.
  9. It is definitely "a thing" with a RollSizer. The standard Dillon motor would not allow it to run anywhere near full speed
  10. The spring has been cut. Because of the limits on bench space and the lack of adjustability of the output funnel, the marker needs to sit on a block, in this case a Hundo. If you do not have your press mounted on a strong mount or equivalent, I am not sure that the marker will work on the bench. Ideal solution would be to drill a hole in the bench and run the output to a shelf below the benchtop
  11. As above, if you have only the WSB and not the diagram, how does anyone determine which target is T1 vs T2?
  12. I got mine today. I am using a Brushtip Sharpie with a .45 bullet taped to the end. The line on the brass is perfect. I need to decide if I want to keep it on the bench and cut the spring super short or have it sit on something on the floor below the bench
  13. For those of you cutting all these coils, is it because of a stroked system to prevent binding?? Commander length guide rod?? I'm intrigued, please explain. My full size Open gun: 8# variable with 1 aluminum buff My Middy: 10# variable commander 1 buff All coils intact
  14. If there isn’t a diagram, how would you know which is T1 and which is T2
  15. Re-read the description on the USPSA site. No procedural. As the description states, targets within a string may be engaged in any order without penalty
  16. The tears from having my post count reduced to zero
  17. Neck gaiter. Lots of different companies. Here's one: https://www.hoorag.com/
  18. Check the tension on the bellcrank screw. It should not be overly tight. I would also check the spring tension under the white bushing
  19. His failsafe rod is installed properly. Claybuster's rod is not. https://www.usermanuals.tech/d/dillon-precision-rl-550b-instruction-manual/part1#1 In other words, it is important to put your rod in holes in the proper order
  20. Merrells have pretty weak tread compared to the Salomons or my personal favorite, Inov-8 Mudclaw
