  1. I just watched a video that Shay Akai did on this topic exactly. The points he made, confirmed my understanding of the concepts. Comp/muzzle break= for counteracting recoil (an extremely efficient comp would prevent the slide from even unlocking) Holes= for counteracting muzzle flip. This comes at the expense of gas to work the comp, so typically harsher feel in the hand. Barrel length plays a factor in this due to the length of the lever acting. Taking it to the extreme would actually push the muzzle down when you fire a shot.
  2. I shoot the 115 from ORM out of a Trubor. 173pf at pretty much every major this season.
  3. Agreed. I switched to a steel grip and it has been great. The grip is consistent no matter the level of sweat or humidity. About a week of dryfire had my hands used to the extra texture.
  4. They are way less sharp. They don't actually feel grippy at all. I only put my hands on them, I did not fire a shot.
  5. *stirring pot* Bending down with a pistol in the holster usually does NOT point the gun anywhere other than down where it was while standing. Maybe a LITTLE further away from the owner, but not significantly. Going prone, not so much.
  6. Agreed all around. Thats just what he said. To me. At Nationals.
  7. Agreed, but he wasn't going to DQ anyone for sweeping their feet if it was flagged.
  8. Don't think it is a rule, just what Troy told me when I asked about sweeping feet.
  9. https://uspsa.org/document_library/rules/2017/PCCAddendum_rev452017.pdf "PCC must be carried reasonably vertical, muzzle up or muzzle down."
  10. Put my hands on two of them at A3. Very nice. Pretty grippy, and was told, by the shooter who's guns they were, used to use aggressive micro pockets and is switching to these exclusively.
  11. How many rounds on the current recoil spring?
  12. I agree with Cha-Lee. Doesn't seem worth it. One malf with that mag would also turn me off to the idea. That at being said, I heard the Pres say that he had a couple that would hold 22. Old STI tubes (not the new old), but didn't ask the guts. He said those tubes were notorious for not dropping free. Which also sounds like a bad idea.
  13. Why is the basketball hoop 10 feet? Pretty sure the 23' is a random number that sounded reasonable. I'm sure there is absolutely zero science involved in making the decision.
  14. Bingo! Kind of like asking why you have to bounce the basketball when you move, and once you stop, you can't start again. All rules for games are random, but the rules are what make the game the game.
  15. This classifier was one that has some discrepancy between the classifier calculators. 10.1523 shows 76.70 on classifiercalc.com I shot it somewhere north of 13.5 in open. I thought it was good enough for 100%. Wrong, it was 85. I think there is another thread discussing this in this part of the forum.
  16. As a new shooter, I'd guess that you need to improve all of your skills. Remember that the best way to improve a skill is to break it down to the smallest part and refine that very simple action. Once you do that you can add it to another skill you have refined in the same way. The result will be a complete movement/skill that is completely subconscious. You our can do this with virtually every component of a stage or match. If you have competed in matches, you can take any of the difficulties from your most recent match and practice them until they go from weakness to strength. Suggestions on specific drills would be: Reloads Trandition drills (preferably 2 shots max) Bill Drills Movement, into positions with gun in firing position, firing as soon as sight picture is acceptable.
  17. I use a stock mag release. No button or paddle to accidentally press. The only modification is changing to a reduced power spring. But be warned, you may grip hard enough with your right hand to "press through" and release the mag. This seems to only show up in live fire when the gun is moving around a bit in your hand.
  18. Mike, I think you are correct, but the folks contributing to the discussion are not the ones we need to worry about, when it comes to resetting a stage. New shooters don't know what they don't know. Perhaps a bit of guidance (not shouting) may go a long way.
  19. If I remember correctly, it is stock on belt facing downrange for both strings. Safety on etc etc.
  20. I'm going with the overtravel screw too.
  21. Pushing down on the right side lever still can't make the safety come back on, or freeze the trigger, or whatever term you want to use. The bending you speak about is a torque to the tenon. In an extreme case (like your knuckle pushing up on the left side lever for too long) you would not be able to disengage the safety with the right side lever. I. This case, I don't think the safety is "damaged" to the point you need to replace it. I'd suspect it is a the way you grip causing the knuckle pushing up on the left side lever. I think you are barking up the wrong tree by replacing safety after safety.
  22. And down pressure on the safety can't "turn it back on"
  23. I shoot a Trubor with an 8.
  24. So you are pressing the left lever up based on your grip?
  25. When you say trigger freeze, I think pilot problem... When this condition happens, are you able to remedy the situation? Or is the gun out of service until you disassemble it?
