I have 2 garand gear plugs and one schuster. I reload and i have no plans to use commercial ammo, so i didn't necessarily need the plugs.
One other thing, the garand gear plug is not recommended on 308 garands, because the gas hole is usually too small vs the -06 garands.
Great videos!

i am binging it on netflix. I'm up to season 8 now, i still like it. I didn't watch it at all before netflix this year.
There are things that are hard to believe though, like how tough it is to find a gun or ammo sometimes. With 300+ million guns in the US, plus all the zombie military, ammo and guns should be super easy to find.

Cabelas primer prices for CCI have been between 29.99 and 40 (up and down over time) for a few years now.
they are currently $33, so really prices haven't changed, at least for CCI.

OP: Keep telling yourself that until you can afford to get something better! I shot a Glock for a while in Limited, and when I switched to a steel framed pistol with an incredible trigger it made an immediate difference. Of course you can make GM with your Glock, 2 guys in my area did it. But the truth is, some pistols really are better than others for what we do. I hear "It's the indian, not the arrow" a lot, but do people realize how much time archers spend selecting and testing their arrows?
So true! Actually, the more comparable statement would be "it's the indian, not the bow". The point holds true though.

I wear ball caps, for products/vendors I like. Nearly all of them that i have i got for free, some came with an order i made.
I have only worn "shooters jerseys" a few times.
Cargo shorts or regular pants, and more pockets is definitely better.
Knife clipped in pocket (this is daily wear, not just for match day)
Regular tennis shoes
A bigger brim hat is something i've thought about, as well as some type of cleats.
One of our ranges is mostly sand, cleats might help there.

Question for the guys that are saying they want one.
Im ALL for just buying guns because you want it. However, at the current state of my life, newly married, new house, trying to do the right thing financially etc, I find myself justifying purchases of firearms based upon some perceived "need" or use category.
For those of you that want this pistol. What do you intend to do with it? I dont really see this out classing a 2011 in limited. I do see it as another option which is kinda cool but man, there's a HUGE uphill battle there considering how effective the 2011 is at this point. I see the bonus in this pistol as being its mags that wont require tuning.
For the compact variant, its not my cup of tea as i dont prefer to carry steel firearms. Perhaps there will be an alloy frame down the road but for now, we are going with what we know in that its a steel frame. So, once again, im not sure what the point of the compact pistol will be. If YOU like to carry steel guns, rock on brothers but the real question that I have is does DW think that there's enough market demand for an oddball non 1911 steel carry gun??I love new firearms and im glad to see this come, im just scratching my head slightly.
I prefer to carry steel guns. If we can get a threaded barrel for it, then it can fill a "duty gun" niche with my suppressors.
I have this niche filled right now with an sti tactical with optic and threaded barrel, but I'm open to a backup for this niche.

Life is too short to shoot guns you don't like.
Amen! Ergonomics is one of the biggest things for me. i don't like glock ergonomics, and DA Cz trigger is too far forward for my fingers. I stick to 1911/2011/springfield guns for ergonomics.

Sorry I believe it's all PCC's.

Just remember you have to surrender your man card if you shoot PCC
Do we have to surrender our man card if we shoot a cool pcc? I could run an Ump 45 or mp5 (zenith), or does the man card surrender just apply to ar pccs?

I understand that, but it lets other people off the hook. They get to squad with their buddies while the people who are certified RO's don't have that same luxury. It's the free rider problem. The obvious solution is more people need to volunteer to become certified RO's, but we all know how often that happens.
We have added a bunch of Ro's recently in our section, and have a CRO class running soon. A few of my friends became RO's to help with the load.

VibraPrime here too. Really speeds things up. It's a little tougher with large primers, but it really flies with spp

You just need to get stronger! Lounging on the boat doesn't help with strength
I did see the canted optic used on a couple stages for weak side leans.

Sleep is the most important thing to me for good performance. While I will drive 2 hours for an important match, the farthest i usually go is just over 1 hour away.
Those people who say "I'll sleep when I'm dead" will be dead a lot sooner without sleep.

Just like .40
I agree. Lots of people outside shooting sports and LE have 40's. They just don't shoot as much as we do.

Millions use those rifle calibers, they are not going anywhere.

you don't have to dq them, just eject them from the range. At our range, you are simply not allowed to be there without eye protection. period. Has nothing to do with USPSA.
None of our ranges in Western Wa would allow no eye pro either.

The worst one i saw was a stage with a 2 step stairs with barrels in front of the stair (shooting over the barrels while on the stairs). This was at the end of the stage, ie farthest from the bay entrance. The stairs weren't nailed down, and the shooter runs up the stairs, which tip over forward.
The shooter went into the barrels, then spun completely around trying to recover. Swept everyone watching.

I had a fall in sand at a Custer washington match. Kept the gun out of the sand and in the right direction. Next time you fall, keep in mind that sand doesn't cause road rash

The Sig Max and Springfield Range Officer are definitely on my short list. I like the Max because it comes tricked out from the factory. The less I have to tinker with it ... the better.
+1 on the sig max. This is my single stack gun

Yeah well...if you would have let go of that Briley with a 20/21 rd mag.............
but
At least I got the Nitro fin.
............And a Ruger gun rug.
But I was thinking, on a Limited (using a metal grip) the Nitrofin would keep the weight of the pistol from pressing the mag release on a loaded table start.
With the nitro fin, the grip is angled up on a table start. The mag release definitely will not be pressed.
tell you what, i'll trade you a 20 rounder for the ruger gun rug

I have thought about 3 gun, but i have zero interest in shotgun. i didn't grow up with shotguns, and I don't see a real world application where you are carrying 3 guns. I could definitely get into 2 gun matches, it makes more sense to me.
