I think Major Pistol is the one more similar to 3n38. Actually a little slower than the VV

So you set it high enough it just barely touches? With the regular Sharpies I started at that and in the end the best results though still not what I hoped was to have them right down against the wheel it seemed. Haven't fiddle with the brush tips yet to make them fit.
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

Brass Marker arrived today... and I am seriously underwhelmed :(. I still need to do some tuning I guess, but I have yet to get a decent stripe. I've followed the various directions/fixes, ie blunting the tip, I even trimmed the tip to get a wider stripe. I've put weights on the markers, first a 230g which made little difference, then a second 230gr still no improvement. It's skipping all around, making wavy lines, not making complete lines, etc. Plus, it sounds like a janky claptrap. I don't know, maybe I got a dud... If I can't get it working better than this it will be going back.

Pitiful results so far...
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

I’m just relaying what they said. For me really it’s a no brainer. Shoot 9 or 38sc out of the same platform.
And I think when there are quite a few builders using their components it speaks volumes about the quality of their products. The evo is undoubtedly one of the best grips out there.

I’ve never shot a honcho, just handled one next to my chaos in a safe area. Grip/frame felt same as my chaos with Pt EVO.
For what it’s worth.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThanks. This confirms what I suspected

I just talked to my buddy...
I think it has to do with some of the internals and the grip and angle...
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

I have a stupid question. Are you using the .45 bullet to add weight? I am assuming this is to get a better mark on the brass.
Correct. The added weight seems to help make a broader, more uniform mark on the brass

Option 2 without hesitation

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to use a Nitrofin for a TSO when several manufacturers make thumb tests that bolt directly to your frame.
Since a TSO is neither Production or CO legal there is really no reason not to use a frame mounted thumb rest.
The Nitrofin doesn't lock back on the last round, a frame mounted rest will lock back.
The Nitrofin is about $120. You can get a IPSC Alex or several other types for about half that cost.
As for a holster, I have seen several people that use red hill Tactical holsters with a thumb rest. I am unsure if they modded them, or they have an option to order it cut for the thumbrest though.
The reason to use a nitro fin is if you like the thumb position better than a frame mounted thumbrest.

is that a thing out running the case feeder? I am limited to 1800 rounds per hour but have never ran faster than the case feeder couldnt keep up with. at the higher speeds like 2500-3000 rph does the dillon not keep up?
It is definitely "a thing" with a RollSizer. The standard Dillon motor would not allow it to run anywhere near full speed

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

The confusion probably arises from it not being in the WSB (the second page) but on the stage diagram (the first page).
Not including it is obviously an oversight. However since the WSB is definitive, one could receive a procedural under 10.2.2.
As above, if you have only the WSB and not the diagram, how does anyone determine which target is T1 vs T2?

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

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

If there isn’t a diagram, how would you know which is T1 and which is T2
-
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

Check the tension on the bellcrank screw. It should not be overly tight. I would also check the spring tension under the white bushing

Your fail safe rod is also off by 180* if you compare it to Claybuster’s picture.
His failsafe rod is installed properly. Claybuster's rod is not.

In other words, it is important to put your rod in holes in the proper order

Salomon Speed Crosses are my personal favorite. Merrell’s of any style are pretty good, can get them waterproof as well.
Merrells have pretty weak tread compared to the Salomons or my personal favorite, Inov-8 Mudclaw

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.
