I encountered something similar in an IDPA match a couple years back. Start position was an unloaded gun on a barrel. First shooter on the stage thinks he hears the RO say "Place your gun on the barrel," but the RO was actually telling the shooter that the stage will begin with the gun placed on the barrel. But due to accents and hearing protection, the message was confused. Since nobody is down range, shooter draws his unloaded gun and places it on the barrel. RO immediately DQs the shooter. MD backs up the RO because he didn't see it, so he has to trust the ROs judgment. In my opinion, it shouldn't have been a DQ because the shooter thought he was acting under the ROs command. Personally, I believe it is on the RO to be clear about instructions once the shooter has shown that he is ready to start.

Bet the seller is wetting himself in happiness. Now it is just a question of whether the buyer will pay up. With only a 3 feedback score, I'm betting he won't.

I've felt this with my M&P40 Compact. I agree that it is probably a feeding issue since it feels like the slide is hanging up on something as it moves forward. It's a distinct feeling.

GrabAGun.com got one in last week. I was on the notification list for the model, so I snapped it up as soon as I saw it (and the price). I only was on the notification list a month before this one showed up.

I'm ESP Expert. If I have to go to the third mag, then I'm probably not going to win. I consider it there for malfunction recovery only.

Agreed, but I think it should either be ESP or something other than SSP. I think it's time to give SSP back to the Sigs, H&Ks, Berettas, etc.

Any follow up to how the Novak adjustables worked out?

Cross-posted to Calguns. It should get you additional interest. http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?p=9457919#post9457919

My wife runs a Glock 34 in competition.

The K-Frame is considered a superior IDPA SSR gun in some ways because the cylinder is smaller than the L-Frame. That means (theoretically) faster reloads and shorter trigger pull. My grail revolver is the full-underlug version of the Model 14 in 4". A very small number were done as a special run before they ended the model line.

Where can you get a 13rd 1911 magazine that fits the box ? That's the point of CDP, to give 8rd .45ACP 1911's a place to play, just like Single Stack in USPSA. Single Stack allows other calibers.

Learn to place your thumb a few millimeters away from the slide stop lever. I had the same problem, and simply taught myself to grip the gun minutely differently
