Dillon is a great way to go, and hornady lock and load is great too.

Photochromatic: clear to black
Use them mostly indoors. But I didn't have to invest in an outdoor set because the lenses adapt. Great on over cast days and even on bright sunny days, I don't even realize hard they're working until I take them off.
I use these as well. I have 5 lenses, but I like these so much I haven't even tried the others.

I'll no longer be responding to you unless you can somehow manage to come up with a coherent and thought out post. I won't be holding my breath.
Excellent! I appreciate that

If by argue you mean have a conversation where we logically discuss our points of view and where we disagree, then yes that is exactly what I want. I think it's pretty cowardly to tell me I'm wrong and talk to me like I'm a fool then hide behind "I don't need to give you a reason" and "I'm not good enough to debate you". We're all talking about shooting here and trying to get better. At least that's what I'm trying to do. You seem completely unwilling to have any sort of discussion with substance.
Throughout my life as a coach one principle I've tried to live by is that if I can't explain WHY someone should do something, then I'm not going to tell them to do that thing. That ideal has served me well, perhaps you should give it a try.
I already tried to explain it to you as best I could in the previous thread. I see no reason to go down that road again. You didn't want to understand then, and you don't now either. I have not told anyone that they SHOULD do something, I shared what I got from the class. Take it or leave it, I don't care.

But hey, at least you're good enough to tell me that I"m wrong and that I don't understand. I figured you had some meat behind that. Guess not. I'm 100% open to being wrong, but if the best argument you're bringing is "you don't fully understand his teachings" you aren't going to get very far with me. That sounds like one of those McDojo guys defending his teacher after watching him get wrecked in a bar fight.
I'm willing to debate anyone on the subject and I'm willing to change everything I do if I am shown better information. I'm not going to chase anyone to debate them. If he's interested, I'm right here.
You come in and post that video, I say that I fundamentally disagree with what I believe to be his principles, you say I'm wrong and have a nice day. This has happened a couple times now. Either tell me why or send someone else who will.
Talk to Ron. I didn't post the video either. I merely quoted it. You seem to want to argue, but I don't. I don't need to get anywhere with you to be honest
I don't even need to give a reason for disagreeing, take it how you will.

I prefer my ideas to be able to hold up to debate. If you don't care about that....well that says a lot to me. You have a nice day as well.
hahaha! I'm sure it does. I'm not good enough as a shooter or a wordsmith to debate you. Send a mail to Ron and ask him to debate if you want.

I'm willing to accept that, but until someone comes and explains how I'm wrong in a logical way that refutes what I'm saying I'm not going to change my mind.
I have high standards for what I think is impressive. A lot of those standards require the person to be faster than me. I've never seen Ron do anything that I can't do rather easily, so no I don't find his speed or accuracy while going full speed particularly impressive. He's a very good shooter. I'm sure he's a very good instructor. He has won some matches. All of that is possible while using less than ideal technique. Your assertion that these things somehow make him right is a poor foundation to base your argument on.
whether you agree or not is irrelevant to me, and I'm sure, to Ron as well. Have a nice day!

I don't need to meet him to critically think about his ideas or technique.
You don't fully understand his ideas or techniques. I do not have the verbosity to explain it well either.
If you met him, or fully understood his teaching, then you wouldn't be able to say, "I've never met anyone that just lets the gun recoil that has impressive speed / accuracy at speed."There is no question that Ron is a champion: http://www.practicalshootingacademy.com/instructors/ron-avery-presidentdirector-of-training-2/

To my knowledge, Ron is a let the gun recoil kind of guy. I think that is a far less than ideal approach. I've never met anyone that just lets the gun recoil that has impressive speed / accuracy at speed.
I know, we've discussed it. You haven't met Ron, so I'll take that with a grain of salt.

Here is a video that explains it in 60 seconds
He's the man! In the class I took (last fall), he added camming action by raising the weak hand elbow rather than extending the wrist further.

Check the results to see if the stage was thrown out. That does happen occasionally for one reason or another.

I read through most of this thread and couldn't find my answer. I bought the Ria double stack in 9mm. I need a holster for 3 gun and was wondering if it would work if I got the sti 5" with a full dust cover. I have the safariland 5195 now and would like to stick with this one.
Thank you in advance.
any holster that will fit a 1911 will work. there are full dust cover holsters, as well as the standard type. The top end of the double stacks is the same general size as a single stack. I have used these for an sti edge when my daa holster was busted.

I was able to use my health savings account and got the westone defendear. They are really good. I wouldn't have spent that much if it came out of my pocket directly though

Not sure how long you have been shooting competition. But generally a few things play into the feel aspect of light vs heavy bullets.
1. The longer you shoot one weight the more difference you will feel when you suddenly try another.
2. The longer you shoot competition the more sensitive you are to feel.
3. Typically just bouncing back and forth between weights leads to them feeling similar.
4. Shooting them on the clock is where you notice it most. Sights will lift and settle much differently and splits will vary. But like I said, you have to compete for awhile to truly see/feel it.
This is my 3rd year of uspsa and idpa. I also shot steel for a year before uspsa/idpa. however, I switch guns a lot.
uspsa, I generally stick to limited and 40 major. In idpa, i'll switch between cdp and esp, esp is 9mm for me. I think #3 in your list is my situation, but between calibers not weights. I probably don't shoot 9mm enough to be as sensitive as most, especially since uspsa is my focus.

I couldn't tell any difference between the light and heavy bullets. Maybe it's just me though

WORD!
I've been working on stuff to hopefully prevent a DQ. At home, I set up some targets in my backyard and I have practiced moving from target to target, making sure when I'm not engaging the target, I have my finger along the slide. I've also been practicing drawing and turning around to my right (my holster side) for those stages where you start facing up range. Figured that if I turn left, I stand a really good chance of sweeping everyone watching. Turning right, I won't sweep anyone. Also the 180 rule as well. That's the one that I'm worried about the most but figure if I take it slow, I should be good.
Anything else I should drill into myself that will keep me from getting DQ'd?
if you're right handed, practice mag changes while moving left and staying behind the 180. if you're left handed, do it the other way. many people turn the gun while reloading, and it can be a 180 dq while moving laterally
-
Don't wait! Go out and get started! People will usually help you out if you're new.
-
You only have to engage the safety before you start the stage. There's too much shooting on the move to require engaging the safety during that time.
IDPA is the same as well. The only real requirement is that you keep your finger well off the trigger while moving unless you are engaging targets.
-
I'd have to ask the guy who gave me the bullets. We were at a range doing indoor idpa. The load was 3.1 TG I believe.
-
I shoot xtreme 115's at 1175 fps (mostly in idpa). I shot some 147 with titegroup through the same gun, and I couldn't tell any difference in recoil. But it was a dan Wesson PM9, which is heavier than the glock I think. No issues with knocking down steel, and recoil is very manageable.

I use n320 for 230gr plated bullets. Good powder.

I thought this was going to be about the band hellyeah. Great band!
