Calls Shots (8/11)

  1. Does anyone have any experience with the CED waterproof PCC / Rifle Case? I need to replace an old Pelican case that is no longer viable for air travel. CED/DAA has a sale on these right now. I only fly with a long gun two or three times a year and was hoping this would be a good option. I don't need help picking a new Pelican. If the CED isn't up to the task, I know which model Pelican I'll get.
  2. My orange follower 33 round mags work and lock back with the factory base pads and Taylor's +10 & +20's. I have some old Gen 3 and Gen 4 17 round mags with Dawson 140mm base pads. They function fine and also lock back. I've got 3 ETS 40 round mags that will run great with jacketed bullets (any profile), but won't run any of the polymer coated bullets (all colors). A MagPul D50 has also run for 550 rounds in practice without issue and will also lock the bolt back. I hope to use it in its first match this weekend. Hope this helps.
  3. I've ran both and actually like the a factory JP with a straight blade the best. The pull weight was close to the same, but I liked the JP reset better. I think it's personal preference. Too bad the Hiperfire Eclipse is a no go!
  4. Chester at Palmetto Arms cut front serrations on a SA RO for me. They matched the factory rear serrations perfectly. http://www.palmettoarmsllc.com/
  5. No I didn't. I believe that after you have shot one classifier in a second, third, etc. division, you shouldn't have to wait to shoot 3 more classifiers to be classified. I'm an M in multiple divisions. I'm going to be at least an A. If I get lucky, and after 3 more classifiers I make M in that Division, great. The other example is my Single Stack classification after shooting a 4 Classifier match, I'm an A 59% after bombing 2 out of the 4.
  6. I usually run MGB or Precision Delta JHP's. The only factory ammo I've shot is Speer Lawman 115 TMJ's. I was just curious if the lead in the Blazer's was hard enough that it only lead the barrel a little or is it soft and leads a lot.
  7. Did the Blazer 115 lead the comp bad? I picked up several K on black Friday sales.
  8. The shooters aren't the ones getting paid at majors. Our classifications don't matter at Area and National matches. Sandbagging was a thing when RO's volunteered at majors. Shooting the match for free was their pay. The sponsorship money and a percentage of the entry fee went to the shooters, not the paid volunteers. Back then, there was something to win, now there's no reason to sandbag.
  9. Backstory, I've been a member for 31 years and actively shot 25+ years of that time. I'm classified in 6 Divisions. I just started the process getting classified in LO, and the same question that has plagued me in the past came back: if you're already classified, why aren't you classified with your 2nd, 3rd, etc. gun after shooting one classifier? If you currently are M in one division, the worst you new classification will be A, no matter what your scores are. Because of that, you should be classified as an A after that first classifier. After you've shot 3 more classifiers, you'll either be an A (if you shoot A or worse) or an M, if your scores are good enough (or GM if you shoot real good). So why should you have to wait for 3 more classifiers? Let the games begin!
  10. Or, they could announce that Production is going back to being Production, i.e. factory slides and barrels, no slide milling, no Dremel tools or soldering irons, etc. to plastic grips, gun with mags and base pads fit in the box, weight + 2 ozs. over factory, capacity is whatever fits the box, AND hang a 3 1/2 lbs. weight on the trigger with the action cocked. You know Production.
  11. I picked my Priest up from my FFL 10 days ago. I bought mine from a gun shop who had two in stock (HawkTech in Meridian, ID). It was almost the gun I was going to order: SS Slide and Barrel, black Ceracoated frame & grip and no front sight. The only difference was the slide was cut for an RMR/SRO. I've got a spare DPP I was going to use, but I bought an SHO instead. During my first 300 round practice session, I had two failures to fire like the OP. I was guessing this might happen since I didn't know if this gun was build before or after the bad mainsprings were found. I replaced the mainspring with an 18lbs. Wolfe. I didn't have any issue with the second 300 round session. Accuracy is great. While zeroing the SRO, I shot a 5 shot group at 15 yds. offhand. The second shot went 1/2"-3/4" left. The next 3 cut a glover leaf with the first. I'm guessing its a 1" at 25 yds. gun if shot off a rest. The two MBX 140's that came with the gun ran, but would lock back with 1 round left in the mag. I ordered new followers and springs. They both hold 24 now. One has so little spring tension, it won't hold the first round in the tube. It caused a failure to feed at my last practice session. I'll have to play with springs to get that mag to run. For the price, I couldn't be happier. I know it's a small run, production gun, but so are Les Baer's. It's going to be my USPSA LO gun, Open SCSA gun and CO PSCL gun.
  12. I also run the SD3G. I just came in from a practice session, and I finally got into the 0.12-0.13 splits (0.14-0.15 were the norm). The GMR had an Eclipse, and I could run it faster. I'll get used to the SD3G in time. My GMR-15 had the shrouded barrel. I wasn't use to the added weight of the 14 1/2" pinned and welded comp barrel. The Smoke took almost 8 oz. off the the front of the gun.
  13. The handguard process in the same. I have no plans to mess with the barrel in any way. If I have an issue, the upper/whole gun is going back to JP.
  14. JP has a YouTube vid on how to take their hand guards off. Be ready to apply some heat to break the thread locker on the barrel nut. I ran Smoke handguard on a GMR-15 and now have one on a JP-5. To me, dot recovery is more about the combination of your load, the comp/break, where you position your stock and how much off hand pressure you use. Max L. has a great video showing you how to work on your position and grip.
  15. Thanks for the link. Sorry if I misinformed anyone about Max's issue.
