If I only shoot one club match a month and keep live practice to a minimum I should have plenty.
It also helps that I can find 115 grain FMJ 9mm in stock pretty regularly.

I'm not a rules expert but I think that will be the dividing line.
I agree

By this logic, cycling the slide to clear an unextracted case or a misfired round would be a match DQ. Another example of the law of unintended consequences caused by an overly-micromanaging rules document.
Exactly. I will not be DQing anyone for a malfunction—unless they’re clearing a bullet stuck in the barrel.

My CO gun is a Canik. My Limited gun is a Para 16-40. My SS gun is a....1911.
I had a SP01 for CO for a little while. Never could get used to the DA first shot.
I suck equally with all of them.

And yet somehow Lane won Limited last year with a glorified Sig 320, Coley was 3rd with a dressed up Glock, and Jonasson was 4th with a Canik shooting MINOR

How well are the holosun dots holding up, particularly on CO guns?

I'm jealous of you guys. My pistol is apart on the bench but the trigger is stuck in some fedex vortex where 2 day shipping equals at least 6 days.
My 2 day shipping took 2 weeks to get here

Everyone is correct on the rules.
I will add: I have shot my carry gun/holster at a few matches, and started from concealment. I think everyone should do it every once in awhile. It's a real eye opener.

Talked to C-More about this a couple of months ago and they said to use Hoppes and then wipe with a clean rag.
After reading the previous comments I got to digging through my cleaning supplies. I had some hoppes and figured WTH, I'll try it.
It cleaned up the tough spots easily.

Thanks guys, I'll give those ideas a try!

How do you guys keep the lense clean on a CMORE? I have a G17 with the SJC 5 port comp that smokes the lense pretty bad. I have tried eyeglass wipes and that helped a little. I've been using windex and q tips too, which is better but not great. Any ideas?

Interesting design and I think they are pretty cool, but not a good idea for competition use these days.
No support at all now, no parts. Soon there will be no parts even available at places like Sarco. Unless you plan on buying a bag of spare LDA unique parts, I say no.
If you just want to own one for general use, go for it. Still buy the spare parts though.
That's what I was going to say. The lack of parts to fix it scares me.

Not sure what you mean. It didn't matter where the magazine came from at make ready. I had an RO a few years ago who tried that on me, it was easy to object and overrule
It was stupid, but it WAS the rule.

Lol get rid of welfare open? It's only the most popular division now, but let's keep the 10 single stack shooters. Not bias at all there.
But the cumulative age of all the CO shooters, and all the SS shooters are the same
I might adjust my SS rig an inch forward on the mags and a inch or so on the holster.... I really dont see it changing anything.
Also, before the rule change it was pretty easy for an RO to see of someone was out of compliance for a division, although I will miss bumping people to open for loading off a magnet at make ready

I do wonder how tightly-focused you have to make a flashlight before it becomes an obvious sighting device. Is a light that makes a 6" circle at 25 yards a flashlight or an optical/electronic sight? Certainly would be useful for major PF, and situationally useful for minor if it passes muster. It certainly looks and talks like a duck, but I don't think I could point to a rule that says it is a duck. The Production and CO rules have language to make the shooter identify the rule under which it's allowed, but Revo, SS, and Limited don't.
Even a more typical weapon light might turn out to be a useful aiming aid for point shooting/target-focus shooting—it's an extra point of reference for gun alignment.
Every time I've stuck a light on a gund and goofed around the house, the centering the target in the beam would get you charlie or better hits on a USPSA target at 5 or so yards.
That being said, I really dont think it would be an advantage on 99.9% of the stages that we all shoot: outdoors in broad daylight.

This seems like a whole bunch of hooplah to say:
"Put your holster and mag pouches wherever you want. All the Timmies can have their light on their gun. No more moving people to Open for loading their gun with a mag they got off a magnet after Make Ready. Life is more simple now."

Find a bullseye shooter worried about his primer supply and swap for SPPs. That's what I did, and he was tickled pink to get them.
Not a bad idea....
-
If he can shoot it and get to the mag release I'd say go for it. I'd say go with limited minor first.

It should just be a barrel swap to go to 9mm.
I assume this is a double stack? If so, the Remington mags should work and they seem to be easier to find in 9MM than 40. I have had 3 Para 16-40s. The oldest one would not run STI mags, but the other two run them just fine. MBX also makes mags for Para.

Steel jacket pistol ammo is a greater ricochet hazard than lead or copper jacketed. It doesn't flatten out the same, and can come back towards the squad in one piece.
It was only outlawed in USPSA in 2019. Why was the change made so late? (Not trying to be a smartass... it just seems odd that after 40 years USPSA would decide to outlaw steel jacket ammo).
I've seen a lot of it shot at matches, and never seen it cause more ricochets, frags, or blood than any other ammo. I HAVE seen mild steel targets that were dimpled from high velocity throw stuff back at the squad--thats not fun.

I would like to see pictures of all these targets that were destroyed by steel jacket ammo--especially pistol ammo.

Just now, Flea said:
Someone said the bullet would stick to a magnet not because the bullet has steel in it, but because the steel case is causing the bullet to stick.
Nope.
If the bullet has steel, the bullet will stick.
Do you have enough components for next season?

Oh I don’t know anything about casting or how to cast or alloys or molds or sizing or powder coating.
