I would consider some of the other 2011's first. Fit and finish are not what they advertised. CK, Lonestar, and Hayes customs. There is reason so many DVC's are for sale in the classifieds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't do it! 2011s are great competition guns but not tactical guns. You don't just pull a 2011 out of the box and it's good to go. It needs gun smithing, they don't run dirty, magazines are finicky, and chambers don't like factory ammo, especially issued ammo. It sounds good even looks good, but it is bad decision. If the gun malfunctions in a match oh well; in real life you are black stripe on a badge. Now, if you're a desk jockey get an SV! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But to say pistols are poor at stopping someone is inaccurate. Especially when that is all you have. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, based on your "available literature" what is good for stopping bad people doing bad things? What does guns and ammo say is the perfect one shot wonder? Because a .22 will kill/ stop very effectively if placed in the right spot, as will any caliber. The statement you made about 2-3 rounds is not based on caliber. It is absolutely based in accuracy, which leads back to training. Based on experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Keeping in mind you're not carrying your race gun... The easiest way to eliminate all conjecture, is go shoot them side by side. Use a 8x11 piece of paper. Shoot say 8rds (being fair to the .45) from the draw, as fast as possible. That will tell you everything you need to know. Hits are all that counts; more importantly critical hits.

G24 has the longer sight radius vs. 35 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

completely agree!!! Bob Vogel shoots with a G24 the .40 version of the G17L! As for accuracy the Glock is extremely accurate. If you change the sights! The cost to run them is unmatched! Parts are everywhere! And you don't need to be a gun smith to fix them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

USAC isn't any better! I bought 2,000 rds of the new 9mm 124gr.. I can't tell you for certain if it was different lots due to ammo coming in bags that broke in shipping but did come in separate boxes. 1st 1,000 was good, then the 2nd 1,000 went to hell quickly. In a 1,000 rds had 15 squibs over 30 half charges. I have never seen that before. Below was when I took it range shoot the last of it up. There are 7 bullets I had to tap from my barrel; missing is # 8-9 the first two before I started my photo collection. Now, USAC did credit me a $100 back, but quality like that: way too little, way too late. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sure as helluva a lot cheaper than a 2011. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With the MPX lefties have equality, but I wish I could run my JP! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, but I want one!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am honestly ignorant to the PF game. What is E3? Every thing else I vaguely understand. What I do understand is the physics at play. What is your Muzzle velocity with that load? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You have a Gen 1, they are capable due to the gas port of shooting the 147gr. The Gen 2 guns not so much. I know guys who are using American Eagle 147gr. and +P ammos, with success. The funny part is the velocities they are running are closer to standard 115/124gr velocities. Again at that point what is the advantage!?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had same problem, the only thing I can figure is the gen 1 had slightly larger gas port than gen 2. Honestly, I have been running 115 and 124 with a lot of success. We want to run them like our pistols, for what reason? Especially if we are running longer barrels and muzzle brakes. 147gr in the MPX is not needed. We are not tricking out the springs yet! With the Lantac MB like our open gun brakes, operate better with hotter loads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I absolutely love this gun, I like the full dust cover look Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1.6 is my fastest, consistently I am at 1.8-2.0. I start the reload with movement of grabbing the mag off the belt then release the button. With MPX I have to keep the gun shouldered. It prevents the mag from binding when it is falling free. With an AR mag change, I turn the gun to assist gravity and help with the feed. The Beer Can grip is a must !

Actually, that would be an awesome. If they could use Key-mod or M-lok, I would buy one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Which AR system allows you to use a gas system in 9mm? I am not tracking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm sorry, but as a skeptic this doesn't pass the sniff test. I can't say I have ever seen an RO direct people not to tape, quite the opposite. Or see lots of shooters just walk away from a match. I feel there is still missing and unbiased facts. For example, again what stage was this? Now, if this dude does have Tourette's or is a bully and doesn't play nice, I am amazed nobody has said anything to him. For example the very thorough RO, or as mentioned MD.

So, two problems with is the AUG has a charging handle that is at a canted offset to avoid getting snagged. Second issue, is you are talking about an AUG not an AR-15 (apples and oranges). I haven't figured out how the shotgun fits in this conversation, but alright. Now, to compare 3gun to PCC is crazy. USPSA matches tend to operate in tighter spaces which does potentially open the chance of snagging things. My experience with operating rifles in confined spaces I have personally had door jams and corners grab my gun and extensions of my gun. Now add ports and awkward positions common to all matches to the conversation. You are gambling that it won't happen. However, different strokes for different folks. I don't begrudge anyone from running whatever they want, their gun; their match. However, in the spirit of this conversation and debate, IMO and experience this is a waste of money.

I think you're mind is made up. I wouldn't worry about the ESPN scenario, tapping isn't that exciting to warrant a live broadcast. I am guessing you were one of the offended. I would also assume that this wasn't the first stage... and his frustration had been building to the point he popped. If you were one of those people he targeted, I would reflect on yourself first, instead of looking for rules to justify embarrassment. I guarantee that his statement obviously offended some, but I guarantee that people started taping. If that was the case, good on him! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The issue is not that it is slow, it is that guys are not practicing. But it will be a bit slower as compensate for the extra distances that have to be covered from support hand starting place to replacement. Compared to a pistol where your hands start together and finish together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you are locking the Bolt to the rear, why does it matter if you're hand on the pistol grip? To be honest, I don't see how that is valid issue or justification for the side handle. If you just racking the bolt, I covered that in my original comment. But to be clear you're removing the support hand no matter what you are using. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am left handed so I can reach bolt catch with my trigger finger. But for the right handed shooter, not using a BAD like device the grasp the AR around the mag well with left hand, press the the bolt catch with their left thumb, no dirty monkey/ football luv needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will say the idea of side chargers, are neat! I have issues with the reasoning that is flawed. 1.) faster remedial action. BS, what are you fixing! As a righthanded shooter(any shooter for that matter) you are going to give a check. That's how you induce a bigger mess. Whether using POPs or SPORTS you are going to "observe". You are not keeping your head in the sights. Even as lefty I still have to move my head. As for comment of keeping your hand on the handle to lock the bolt to rear... who cares you are locking slide back for a reason. Finally your support hand is coming off the gun regardless. The fraction of a second that is gained on the forwarded location is lost with the directional forces. Meaning, you are pulling center line with a conventional CH and pulling the gun left with side model. 2.) Side Charging handles have a what we call at work a fatal flaw. They get snagged on everything. When they do get snagged the gun don't work. One of the main complaints of the SCAR. 3.) Ambidextrous, not so much! In reality all of the ambi AR charging handles out there now are cheaper and more practical. 4.) Torqued CH? WT% is that non sense. I have spent the last 19 years around the M-4, seen all sorts of issues and malfunctions. Never... NEVER... Never seen a over torqued, bent, let alone a broken (snapped) charging handle. All in all, this is another jewel from the "good idea fairy". Briefs well but not practical. *why if this so revolutionary, why don't you see them on all the best shooters guns? Before you say JP's... of every person I know who bought it, every last one of them wishes they hadn't because they "don't" use it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
