Yep, 75B SA if you can find one, discontinued in 2018.

"But if you're not a member, the opinion doesn't matter."
I think it's become pretty obvious that member opinions don't matter either.

This was one of my first thoughts. HQ has set the precedent on this, clearly he should loose his job.
He should at a minimum decertify himself.

Where did y'all buy yours?

A guy with your obviously extensive knowledge and superior intelligence should be able to measure your working mags, then tune your non-working mags to match.

So....with the same time that people took to question my question... it could have been answered. But I'll oblige....
Some of my mags are about 8 months old.... however, the mags that came with my first rival have somewhere around 15k rounds through them. My Springs and followers all were changed to MBX when the new 24+1s came out. I never had an issue with them and they are* "burr" free. My mags get cleaned frequently, as it's literally the first thing I do when I have feeding issues.
Again, the obvious issue is that I can visibly see differences in the gap of my feed lips from magazine to magazine. It's sincerely not uncommon to need to tune magazines. I aim to shoot 4 USPSA competitions a month, and also try to live fire practice once a week. Tack on dry fire to the list of abuse I put my gear through too.
I don't buy a gun, go to the range to shoot slow fire bullseye, then take pictures with my gun/target for Reddit. Just because you have never had to tune a mag that you own, does not mean others won't need to.
Good day gentlemen.

I don't feel any movement when in the barrel when the slide in battery, I see a tiny movement in the slide moving very tiny side to side into the frame. Are you guys having some tiny movement in the slide ?
There has to be a little bit of clearance, or the slide won't cycle. It's fine.

Since you live close, it would be worth going to watch the super squad etc. If you're expecting a big show with special events and lots of vendors, you will likely be disappointed.
As far as participating, it's pretty much like any other match, but with a higher level of competition and a good amount of sandbaggers.
-
I would go with the M&P. To me it's the easiest of the 3 to pick up after shooting CZ's for years.

"Making a major different enough to be worth attending"
They gave out a free morale patch at WSSC last year...what more could you want?
-
I recently let mine and my daughter's memberships lapse. This affirms my decision. I know membership is only $40/yr or whatever but I don't even see that much value in the org at this point. I think Zack is a good guy, but he can only do so much.

Pretty please.

Improvement depends on whether or not your factory bushing was loose.

Any idea for Steel Challenge?
SC is what we're discussing here. But for reference, centerfire equipment rules are the same as USPSA.
-
Magwell puts you in Open class, remove it to shoot CO.
-
Same tube, different base.
-
There is no "full size" P10C. P10C holds 15rds flush, P10F holds 18 or 19.

How about...........when they stop moving?
Or when they run out the clock.
Do you mean right before they take another sight picture? Sometimes they settle, only to move again right when you ask if they're ready. Centerfire is easy because they raise their hands, low ready classes not so much with some shooters.

If the shooter is following the rules, what is it that you can't stand. If the shooter takes 100 swings at the first plate inside of the time limit who cares. Why is it that RO's are bothered by people doing things in a different manner. An RO is not their to judge the shooter on style, just on safety and score. The RO is there to serve the shooters and the match not the other way around.
I think the challenge is knowing when they're actually ready.
-
At WSSC, I heard several RO's grumbling about SC people and their stupid make ready routines and how long they took. To be fair, it was Sunday afternoon, it was hot, and I'm sure they were tired. Also pretty sure they weren't SC shooters.

If you pull down on the magazine follower tabs to load, you are more likely to have feed issues due to potential rim lock. Push the rounds down and back without pulling the follower down, or use the included loader. I've got several thousand rounds through mine without issue. The follower tabs are unnecessary... if you use mag extensions they have to be removed anyway. The TK extensions have worked great on mine.
-
For Steel Challenge at least I would just shoot the Staccato w/optic. Puts you in Open, but who cares? Or shoot another 1911 w/optic...

"Most are there just to beat their own performance."
Then why is the penalty such a problem for you? If the penalty is a given for those that can't/won't move, wouldn't there be the same opportunity to beat your own prior performance?

Is there an SAO CZ with a firing pin block?
in CZ

There's a B SA for sale on the CZ forum right now. (Not mine)
