Out of those options I have found I like the DNA race master the best. They all basically perform the same way but I think the race master are better constructed and look alot nicer. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

With all this talk about how nice SVIs are I may have also given them 1000 to get started on a limited build too. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

You could be gripping the gun so hard that you are causing your muscles to tremor. Next time you are training try to relax the grip a bit and see what happens, then grip as hard as you can and see if you start shaking. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

One. And one F1 bengal is plenty enough to handle Yellow labs or boxers Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Best steak I ever had was at Barclay Prime in Philly. Also one of the fanciest places I have ever been too. Before dinner was served the waiter came out with a selection of different knives and explained the difference and how the weight of the knife affects the meat. I had no idea what he was talking about with the knives but that steak was ridiculous. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

So I got an email today saying there was an opening in Ben's fundamental class, so I obviously had to jump on it. It's memorial day weekend and had to change some plans but I'm really excited about it. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I'm just not overly thrilled with their lack of effort to even try and help me out. Especially since I bought two of there 014 holsters and wanted to buy a bunch of replacement parts and backup parts. Looks like I'll be looking into a race master or guga ribas. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I gave safariland a call. So they don't sell the plug that goes in the barrel at the bottom of the holster separately. They basically don't sell any part separately from what I understood from customer service. Ohhh well I guess I'll be looking into a different t brand. Anyone have suggestions for a 2011 limited gun?

I will give them a call once I have a free moment and I will keep posted about what I find that's available Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I have a safariland 014 holster. I have been dry firing and training alot lately and a few parts are start to get really worn out. Does anyone know of a place to get parts for the 014? I did a search on here and didn't find much and when I Google search it just brings up complete holsters for sale. I really don't want to buy a new holster when this one probably needs $25 in parts.

I actually put my order in for one mid February of 2016, so less than two months ago, and I just got an email today saying it's ready to ship and just need to confirm my credit card. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

3/15/16 5:40am - 6:45am Training this morning was mostly fundamental work. I started off with just draw to first shot, first half of the reps were slow and controlled to make sure my technique was on point. 1.2sec par time for the remainder of the drill, while really pushing this drill I noticed that if my draw is perfect I can hit a par of 1sec or maybe 0.9. To try and make my draws consistently perfect I performed speed draws, with the par 0.6sec, I pushed to see my sights as quick as possible. Things are becoming more and more clear and clearer quicker with each passing week. Continuing with fundamentals, 1sec reloads were performed. I have been performing all my reload work from my first mag pouch, I am doing this to reinforce the technique and not have to worry about 4 or 5 different positions. Transitions and moving while transitioning drill was performed at a 1.8sec par time. I am really focusing on having visual patience and seeing all A zone hits. By doing this my par times are much harder to hit but that is the point of training. At the end of the morning training session I performed turning while drawing, 1sec par time and focused on really getting my head turned on the buzzer to get target sight as soon as possible. Marksmanship and accuracy work: I have been performed a lot of long distance draws and group shooting. During live fire drills I have been working the DOT drill and just shooting groups while watching what my front sight is doing the whole time. I am not the most accurate shooter out there and don't know if I ever will be, but I have really been trying while live firing at the indoor range since there isn't a whole lot more I can do there. 8:15pm - 9pm Tonight I worked a lot on movement while shooting. This is something I really need to be honest with myself when it comes to training. It is too easy to say that you saw the sights and a good sight picture when you didn't. Moving and shooing is getting better and better, I am able to draw much more smoothly while staring to move and my sights are starting to stay pretty steady, the only times they are not steady is my last target and that is most likely due to rushing to try and hit par time. Not only was tonight for movement while shooting I worked a lot of position entry and exit. Position entry is going very well, I am getting my footwork down and feel good about getting into position. Position exit still needs some work. It really comes down to timing for me, I have been trying to get my timing down for when to start moving. Lately I have been too early and start moving to much on the last shot and cause a poor sight picture or calling misses. I just need to keep working at it and I know the timing will come.

I haven't posted in awhile now, my computer has not been cooperating nicely lately. I finally got it all squared away. While I wasn't able to post, other than with my phone, I have still been dry firing and usually live fire once a week. When it comes to improvements on my dry fire practice, I noticed I has slowed progress greatly. I had to take a step back and reevaluate my training and really break it down to see what is really happening. After a bit of self analysis I found that I really wasn't being 100% honest with what I was seeing. I was just trying to push myself to hit par times and not put as much emphasis on what calling and seeing every shot. I took a step back and really have been focusing on forcing myself to get the A zone hits and seeing all my shots. My par times have been harder to hit by doing this but I know it will pay off in the long run. I still am trying to push my speed, but while doing so I am pushing the speed with accuracy, and I know everyone says that is what you have to do and how you should have always been training, but I had to take a long hard honest look at my training and be true to myself about it. I believe that at some point you loose focus on what you need to do in training and you have to step back and analyze what you are doing.

I actually had the same thing happen to me a few weeks ago. I just attributed it to me dropping and banging around the magazines Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

So I haven't posted here in a few days, Ive been busy doing stuff around the house and work things just got in the way of being able to sit down and post. First I want to start out by saying that dry fire and live fire over the weekend were horrible, I am still not sure the reasoning behind it but I just felt very off and it showed. I had two dry fire training sessions each day this weekend, each session just seemed to be very rough. I really had to work and fight myself to get any good reps in. Again I'm not sure what my issue was but it just wasn't a good training weekend. I did do some live fire training at the local indoor range, I was attempting to work on accuracy but like my dry fire I just felt off and the results showed. It was getting to the point where I felt as if I were just wasting the ammo. When I was done with live and dry fire this weekend, I was done with it, I tried not to thing about it and just clear my head of the poor performance. As bad as the weekend went, things seemed to turn right around for me starting yesterday morning. I felt great, I was on point with all my dry fire and I felt as if I made some good gains. Now when I say the everything was on point I don't actually mean that it all went perfectly, for example today I was working on standing reloads and was really trying to push my time and I missed a few reloads. I was OK with missing the reloads because I knew I was really pushing myself and only good results can come of it. When I did hit the reload everything was smooth and fast, it felt really good to have a training session like that, knowing that you are really getting some work done even though you screwed a few reps up, but that's part of learning. I did come to a bit of a realization this weekend. I am my own training partner, coach, motivator, and need to be self critical. This is kind of weird to me as I come from a background in MMA. While training MMA I always had a support team around me, including coaches, training partners and just general support of friends and family. Now shooting is very different, I cannot afford to have a full time coach, I do not have any training partners, and only a small handful of people support this, well actually know what USPSA is. So it is weird to me not to have a support group and coaches, I find it challenging to be your own coach and your own support team and at the same time to be self critical enough to be able to develop a training plan. It is just weird to me but I am getting used to it and learning from it all, and enjoying the process of it. I also noticed I have way more inner monologue with myself wile training, mostly asking myself questions but some times patting myself on the back.

So I removed the plate, cleaned out the hopper, it wasn't as bad as I thought. When I reassembled everything I tightened up the clutch a bit more and testes it out by putting about 300-350 case in the hopper and just letting it go. All seems to be going well. Thanks for the help Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I will give it a good cleaning and tighten up the clutch in it. It's to the point where I can only run about 50-75 cases in the hopper. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Hey everyone, I've been running my 1050 for the last year and half, all for loading 40 major loads. Recently my case feeder has been slowing down and sometimes just stopping. At first I thought I had to many cases in it so I took some out but the issue still seems to happen. Now I haven't taken it all apart yet to clean it, I'm thinking there might be some accumulated crud in the feeder. If anyone has had this happen please let me know what you did you fix it. Thank you Eric Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

2/9/16 Morning and afternoon dry fire practice were all focused on movement and shooting while moving. I will not be describing each individual drill in this post. I was just doing a lot of shooting while moving, moving into position and shooting and shooting then changing positions. Grip is a big key to all the movement drill for me, I noticed that if I'm lax with my grip movement drills are no where near as stable. Knowing this I really tried to get a consistent and hard grip for each rep. The movement performed during the drills was in every direction that I could think of, straight, left, right, diagonal, and backwards. The move into a shooting position then shoot was performed with a barricade, without a barricade and with a port. I was getting some practice with port and barricade entry. So far all is going very well with my training. I feel as if I am progressing and learning. During the drills I sometimes get lost within the drill and it just happens over and over, I'm in the 'zone' then. I also take notice of when I screw things up, I take a minute and figure out what I am doing wrong and fix it even though I am not at the point where I know exactly what I'm messing up each and every time. As far as my diet and exercise plan are going, the diet is going very well, weight is still coming off at a steady rate and I'm feeling better and better each day. Now the exercise plan hasn't been happening, one reason for this is that I still feel I am burnt out from lifting, 14 straight years will do that to you, and the other reason is that I have been putting a lot of time in USPSA training. As of now I'm averaging about 2 hours worth of dry fire a day, I don't think that will really increase. Live fire is about 3-500 rounds a week, and I am hoping that will increase a bit with joining my new gun club. Also USPSA season is going to kick off soon and I will be trying to get one or two matches in a month.
