Neither of these scenarios break the rules so..... no.

2900 fps ish versus 950 fps ish when you hit the steel.
Got it. Comparing a PCC to a 5.56 rifle. That’s what I missed.

you can shoot at closer steel safely.
I just have missed something. Why is this?

From an article by Massad Ayoob for the magazine American Handgunner:
The EDC magazine bodies are from the Walther PPQ pistol, with Wilson Combat butt plates. Interestingly, my own PPQ magazines would not lock into the Wilson pistol, even when I swapped floorplates. The cut for the mag release button apparently has to be slightly different. Bill Wilson told me, “I picked the PPQ mag because, number one, it’s proven reliable, and number two, it’s the shortest 15-round 9mm magazine available. Starting out designing a new gun around a proven mag is a lot easier than trying to design a new gun and a new mag at the same time.”

How much does this weigh?
A touch over 44oz. With Henning extensions, Patriot Defense grips, a CZ plastic guide rod, and a decent amount of material removed from the magwell, it barely made weight with the DPP.

I would (and personally do) just use scaled cardboard targets attached with blue painters tape. Ben Stoeger Pro Shop has an abundance of options for dryfire targets.

don't they make u-shaped (or L) squib rods so you don't muzzle yourself?
They do. That was my first thought when I read the shooter was DQ’d. Didn’t realize there’s actually a rule regarding that now.

Worry more about getting your gun ready shoot before your body settles into position, and your body will automagically stabilize sooner and better
That's a separate issue though. Often times I will come into a position low and agressive, gun up and shooting. Then I find myself slowly rising up into an upright standing position as I'm shooting from that spot.

I don’t think it’s a Grams. I don’t know how much it weighs, I’ve never held it while off the gun.
-
Here’s the front of the magwell. It’s got an unusual angle to the front. Most I’ve seen slope down rapidly, while this one is sort of bulkier in the front.

An older SVI.

Not heavy.

Can anyone ID this magwell? There are no markings on it.
-
A lot of people tend to refer to a thumb rest using the name of the GoGun product and it gets “autocorrected” by the forum.

Might also just make sure the hopper isn’t low. I start getting inconsistent throws when the hopper is below about 1/3.

Did you bevel/open up the internal magwell? Is that allowed in idpa? Haha
I don’t know the rules for IDPA but this is where I cut a lot of weight from my Stock 2 for USPSA Carry Optics.
You can also use a plastic CZ75 guide rod instead of the PD one if you run out of places to cut weight.

I’ve never needed to switch to a backup gun during a match but I have definitely forfeited going to a major match because my gun broke the day before I was supposed to leave. Now I consider a backup gun a must.

-11*F when I got off work this morning at 7am. Wind chill of -33*
That was after the wind died down to about 15mph from 30+mph overnight.

I spray a coat of paint, then drop playground sand on it.
Does that stay on with just paint for adhesive? It seems like that would wear off in a heartbeat.

Alexmg’s reminds of the giant timer Jerry M used in some of his videos. It’s so big, it’s comical to see him walking around with it on his hip.

I opened a port with the muzzle once thinking it would be faster and it knocked the gun just out of battery and wouldn’t fire. Definitely not faster when you have to whack the back of the slide to get it to work again.

The typical stages we shoot are shot blazingly fast. Very uncommon to have a headshot stage with targets at 20 yards to slow people down.
This is untrue where I shoot. If your local clubs only have hoser stages, they need better stage designers.
5 minutes ago, Sarge said:They might have an advantage in follow up shots, they’re also slower to draw and transition, and most are more difficult to reload as fast as a plastic gun. The DA/SA guns also have the DA shot to deal with. Plastic and metal guns both have trade offs.
I’m pretty sure Max does ok with a plastic gun in CO.

I’ve always had my ammo make 135 on the nose at every major match I’ve been to. Very low SD, very predictable at the chrono. One sectional I shot last year my ammo read 130. Went home and it shot 135 over mine and my buddy’s chrono. Moral of the story is a little extra cushion never hurts. I might have really been sweating that day if I had been loading for 130.

The frame still has a serial number that belongs to a Glock 23. I realize the 9/40 frames are identical. It’s still a Glock 23 frame if it was built as a Glock 23 from the factory.
No, “they” would never know without an absurd amount of work. That’s not really the point. You keep bringing that up like it somehow makes the rule not apply since nobody would know you’re breaking it.
9mm Major porting or not?

I have two guns with the same barrel and comp. One gun has two 3/16” holes and one has no holes. The gun with holes is noticeably flatter and faster for me to shoot but the extra gas coming back into my face makes me blink between shots... Because of this, the comp only gun is my main gun. I would shoot a gun with holes before you make your decision.
