I keep hearing about the guy who failed equipment and kept shooting, but nobody says the name. Who was it?

Is it possible you are not returning fully into battery?
I have a Gen 4 G34 with a pure tungsten extended guide rod and a 13lbs spring and a 4.5lbs striker spring along with a Zev lightweight striker. I am still trouble shooting this setup since I just got a Timney trigger. Never had light strikes before installing the Timney, but on recoil spring testing the gun was hanging up when slowly riding the slide forward while holding the gun vertically. This was repeated with a stainless steel guide rod and 13lbs flat spring - same results. In live fire testing I did get one light strike and a few instances where the gun was not returning to battery fully. I've ordered a 4lbs striker spring and a 15lbs recoil spring in order to try a couple of different combinations. Of course, there is no problem returning to battery with the stock recoil spring, but that will not reliably cycle my loads (147gr over 3.2gr WST, 134pf). CCI primers.
Other things I am going to try is polishing the striker channel, cups and spring. I will also play around with checking striker interference on the Timney trigger bar using an armorer's plate and the striker spring removed.
My 34.5 with timney, stock striker spring, and 15# recoil spring was going out of battery after reloads. If the reload were done while moving then the slide would close, but flat footed reloads the slide would stay out of battery.
I purchased a 17# wolff recoil spring and I could replicate the issue.
I think Glock Wolff recoil springs are too short.

My bad but I was referring to "I guess we'll see if we hear from more AC's soon..."
I got the same news in Alabama

I've shot as staff at plenty of matches that part is fine. It will mean a little more work for everyone, but not a huge deal. It also means that instead of shooting over two days you shoot it all in one day and it'll probably be in the middle of the week. Which for me would mean more time off work.
Shooting a split schedule over two days I think is easier then shooting them all in one go. Plus if you have any interest in the awards banquet you'd have to stick around for a couple more days. If I shot staff day I'd skip awards even if I thought I might win something.
I'm not able to make it to World's this year, but usually the staff shoots over two days as well. I think that depends on the schedule though. There is one day when the paid competitors shoot the whole thing. Usually it's Thursday. That's a long day for everyone

I heard last year people got in with out any points. It's likely you'll get in, but you might get stuck shooting with staff or something.
How many points do you have?I see, one point.Ewwww shooting with staff!!!!
Lol jk. I worked Nationals last year. Shooting with staff can be fun

Sounds legit.

Yes, it should all be concealed even the clips. I asked my state coordinator a similar question but it was about the neomag and he confirmed even the pocket clip would need to be concealed

I am. I am/was A class in USPSA

Still not sure how to read this.
What about guns that come with a comp, but the comp can easily be removed (e.g. Springfield Hellcat RDP for CCP).
This should follow CCP rules, so the ESP rules for comps apply.
Will this be legal now?
I asked an AC and this would be legal

Brass magwells are not allowed

Where did you see this? From what I'm reading, the 8.4 rule is still intact
8.4 Belts
Belts may be no wider than 1-3 /4 inches or thicker than 5 /16 inches and must pass through a minimum of all but two oft he pant loops. Some holsters for concealment come with integrated belts that may be worn under their clothing that
are legal for IDPA provided they maintain the firearm in the same orientation allowed by holster rules when performingactions needed on a stage.

I had a gen5 slide blank milled for a similar setup. I modified it to accept a longslide 1911 recoil spring. All that preload let’s me run an 11# equivalent spring and still have plenty of oomph to close the slide against a 5# striker spring. So even though peak spring force is reduced, it’s near factory in battery. Also made a fat tungsten guide rod to match.
That's a sweet tungsten guide rod

This is also legal (if it fits in the box)

That is not what dictionary definition a says.
Will Chrono man have to have an industry wide comprehensive catalog to tell whether a comp is a factory offering?
I will ask my AC, he was the first I heard to speak authoritatively about the Gentlemen's Agreement removing most limits from ESP.
We have the same AC so I'm curious to see what he says. There aren't many factory comped guns

What rule says that? Or was this a AC ruling?
I'm assuming AC ruling, I just noticed your first post.
Yeah, but I think he asked HQ first to verify
-
Screw on comps are fine, but it has to be factory.
-
I agree with you but I haven't asked my AC. I guess I will ask
-
I would email timney and tell them the issue. Might be something out of spec

Where/how do you get new springs?
I emailed Timney

Anyone knows for how long the trigger return spring will hold? iv fired about 8k rounds with my Glock 45 with the timney trigger and probably just as many pulls if not more in dryfire. Will the spring snap at some point?
A friend has gone through 3 different springs in different pistols at 3k, 4.5k, and 1k.
I haven't been keeping track of my springs

I wonder if this trigger is legal for GSSF competition. Since it is OEM
It is

Being new to IDPA makes no sense that rules are different regionally do to each ACs interpretation of rules.
It's not nearly as bad as this thread is making it sound.

And so, Your saying comps did make it in the IDPA? Because if they come in any shape form or fashion it will only get worse. Not that it can get much worth, with crazy rules and out of control rule book that now control it.
Screw on or pinned on comps that are removable are not legal
-
Sweet. Ported barrels and built-in comps are legal in ESP
Brass base pads are not legal anymore
Good Luck at Worlds!

Nobody is mad at the shooter. They're mad at the MD lol
