    I couldn't disagree more.  It is harder to shoot a major PF load than a minor one.  Why take away the option to choose to shoot something softer for fewer points, or something harder for more?  What does it hurt?

     

    SS has a really good formula, you get 2 extra rounds shooting minor, or more points shooting major.  Then people get to choose extra rounds or extra points.  Choice is good.

    Same thing in limited you get a couple extra shots for the lack of recoil.  And yes this has been beaten to death and then some in the same thread several guys have mentioned already.

  2. Alpha X.  I have had both and I found the alpha x is much easier to set up.  You can also remove the alpha x from the hanger and not lose any settings. This is nice if you travel and don't want it to get beat up. You cant do that with the regular race master.  They both use the exact same retention device and they are interchangeable. So as far as the draw feel they are the same.    

  3. I have had both and I'm 100% recommending the race master holster.  Really nice set up and if you need to keep it locked in the beginning of a stage for some strange reason its way easier to  unlock on the draw. Thats not something I would recommend but if the need arises its much better.  I would recommend the alpha x even more.  It has the exact same retention device/guts as the race master but a much better adjustment system.  The WSM2 is cheaper to switch between platforms as it is just shims that can be added or removed but the DAA holster is just a better product all around.

    Fair warning to anyone that buys that large Dawson button - it is HUGE. You have to trim it.

    I put it on my gun and took it to a match as a joke and everyone got a kick out of how ridiculously big it is.

    You don't have a pic by any chance do you?  I always wondered how big it really was.

    What is the difference between the paddle vs. the button? Edge40 you mention some have trouble with the paddle which would be easier being that i have small hands?

    It is easier for sure.  I have smaller hands also.  Problem is sometimes I hit the button with my palm and drop the mag.  Usually on high stress reloads where its a real rush to get it done.  Like a classifier.  I switched to the IDPA length dawson mag release and put the heavy spring in it.  That seems to have remedied the problem but if not its back to a regular ole lo pro button.  I kind of need the paddle but it may not work out.  Ill have to get used to flipping the gun in my had for mag changes.

  6. Using mixed powder goes against everything I have ever learned about reloading.  Theres the possibility that it could be fine but the other options are just totally unacceptable.  I 100 percent vote fertilize the lawn.  Powder really isn't that expensive.  Just let it go.

  7. This totally depends on what you want.  There are tons of mag buttons out there.  Some are paddle style some are buttons and they are all different sizes and textures.  Some people have trouble with the paddle style buttons, myself included.  I will occasionally bump the button with my palm when I'm really pushing it.  I personally love the feel and size of the STI paddle button.  That said I'm very close to getting rid of it because of mag drop issues.  I need it but if I drop one more mag I'm going to learn to do without.  If  you can make that button work with your hands then I would highly recommend it.

    After I had the alpha x for about a month now. Everything is good, super solid, only problem is now every pants and shorts has bad stains from gun muzzle. Race master don't have that kind problem at all.

    I have dedicated pants and shorts for that reason.  I really only wear them shooting.  Theres a crazy oil stain on them but I just don't worry about it.
