Most Limited and Open shooters are more concerned with capacity then locking open on the last round. To get followers that will work reliably you tend to loose a couple rounds in mag. That's why people set there gun up to not lock open. It's not that they just don't care.
Nearly all limited/open shooters i know never ever want the gun to lock back. It's pretty rare for a high class shooter to click on an empty chamber, at least in my limited experience.

You won't be able to rack the gun comfortably from the front serrations with a thumb rest.
Also you will have difficulty going back to divsions that don't allow them.
Learn to shoot your gun without the thumb rest until you go to open!
Then buy everything you can for it! LoL
With the nitro fin, i do not have any problems with front racking.
I also switch from limited (nitrofin) to SS with no problems.

You will probably have the coolest, and slowest runs of the day!
Ya, I didn't get it specifically for competition, but might as well try it. Once I get it sbr'd, i'll get the 9mm conversion pieces and be able to use either config.

Does anyone run one of these? If so, what mag holders do you use? I'm thinking about trying it out in PCC.

Thanks Duke. I found that NW Section site many months ago. Have been visiting all the sites. But for PB, if it is listed at PractiScore, then I must have the wrong name for the Range/Event. I would search for "Paul Bunyan", "Puyallup", "Bunyan", etc... but have not found the Pre-Registration yet or even a listing for PB. If you have a link or the correct name to search on Practiscore, please let me know.
I have been at it a few years and about 25 matches. Open C currently.
Right on! PB is also known as NW01 on practiscore.
Here are some past matches: https://practiscore.com/results?query=nw01I'm not completely sure if PB does pre-reg all the time. We did do it for the last match, but that was a sectional match. Everything else about PB is standard procedure. The action bays are on the left side of the range as you drive in.
Come on up and play with us

How do you join a USPSA Match, coming up this Oct 14th at Paul Bunyan?
I live just south about 2hrs and a USPSA Member. Never have been at the Paul Bunyan USPSA Matches yet, but would like to know whats involved. Not being a member do I just drive up, pay the admission ($20) get squaded and off I go? Anything I should know or be aware of as a first time shooter at this range?
Just want to make sure I have all my ducks in the pond, and not get sent home, cuz I was not aware of a certain rule. Thanks.
Join the "USPSA - Washington State Shooters" FB group. There's a lot of info for our section posted there.
Generally you can just drive up, pay (25), squad and go. PB has practiscore signup also, so you can do either. I don't believe payment is required to pre-register. It will let you choose your squad earlier, but if you don't know anybody, than that's not an issue.As a USPSA member, I am assuming that you already have had a "safety check". If not, you'll have to get one scheduled.
our section also has a basic website, http://northwestsection.org/, that you can get more info from. -

Do all you guys with the 7-8+ stages have as many pits to shoot in? Or do some stages get doubled up in a pit?
We have that many bays. If it's a bigger match, like a sectional or level 2, other parts of the range will be used as well, like the shotgun range.

The most important to me:
Sights (adjustable) with a red FO
Trigger job
Checkering/grip tape
The other items are great to have and important, but those 3 are first.

What is SP2 powder a couple of you guys referenced?
Nobel sport, vectan powder, http://www.vectan.fr/UK/reloading-charges
I don't see any in stock, but these two sites will probably be your best best to find it.

In our area (area 1, western wa), it's most common to have 7 stages for sunday matches. There's a tuesday night match that is 5-6, and a couple saturday matches that are 5-6.

It's better IMHO to move the gun to the dominant eye. I don't accept what he's saying about "compromising the triangle" aspect. I am cross eye dominant and my right eye is weak even with correction. I did teach myself to shoot rifle left handed when i was a teenager due to this.

I have a hornady locknload, and the powder thrower is very consistent with 320. I have been using 320 for 45 for some time, and just switched to it for 40 from TG.

It's like a DQ, it's not a question of if, it's a question of when

This is why we can't have nice things.
Not trying to hijack too much, but:
Liebeck’s case was far from an isolated event. McDonald’s had received more than 700 previous reports of injury from its coffee, including reports of third-degree burns, and had paid settlements in some cases.
- McDonald’s operations manual required the franchisee to hold its coffee at 180 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Coffee at that temperature, if spilled, causes third-degree burns in three to seven seconds.
- The chairman of the department of mechanical engineering and biomechanical engineering at the University of Texas testified that this risk of harm is unacceptable, as did a widely recognized expert on burns, the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Burn Care and Rehabilitation, the leading scholarly publication in the specialty.
- McDonald’s admitted it had known about the risk of serious burns from its scalding hot coffee for more than 10 years. The risk had repeatedly been brought to its attention through numerous other claims and suits.
- An expert witness for the company testified that the number of burns was insignificant compared to the billions of cups of coffee the company served each year.
- At least one juror later told the Wall Street Journal she thought the company wasn’t taking the injuries seriously. To the corporate restaurant giant those 700 injury cases caused by hot coffee seemed relatively rare compared to the millions of cups of coffee served. But, the juror noted, “there was a person behind every number and I don’t think the corporation was attaching enough importance to that.”
- McDonald’s quality assurance manager testified that McDonald’s coffee, at the temperature at which it was poured into Styrofoam cups, was not fit for consumption because it would burn the mouth and throat.
- McDonald’s admitted at trial that consumers were unaware of the extent of the risk of serious burns from spilled coffee served at McDonald’s then-required temperature.
- McDonald’s admitted it did not warn customers of the nature and extent of this risk and could offer no explanation as to why it did not.

Remember when McDonalds was sued successfully for selling hot coffee?
It was a bit more than "hot" hot coffee suit

only thing locked in is the hands, like previously mentioned elbows back is pretty relaxed; itll speed up your transitions.
Also, shoulders are pretty down and relaxed as well, see a ton of the head forward, shoulders up, stiff neck stuff. Sights to your eyes, not eyes down to your sights.
Especially for cross dominant shooters. I shoot right handed but left eye dominant. It's pretty easy as long as you bring the sights to your eyes. Jerry Miculek also stresses this in some of his videos.

Not sure on the reamer. JPL built it. The Bedell comes with 3 top ports and 4 side ports. JPL cuts it back to two side ports.
Are you using that one this season? I've been thinking about 40 open a bit. Are you going to PB this weekend?

I bought some shoes from a drug dealer. I don't know what he laced them with, but I've been tripping all day

The Missoula range is really nice. They put on a high quality area 1, great people there.

Check out Big Sky Practical Shooting Club in Missoula. They are hosting the Area 1 championship match this weekend. I'm driving over from Washington on Thursday for the match

My intention was to reinforce your point, not call you out
For round counting:
I generally don't count during the course of fire, i pick out certain points to reload at during the walk through. Depending on the COF, i usually pick a point where i'll be at 18 fired, so there's 2-3 extra shots just in case.
