I am in the process of organizing a RO class. When I started the process I thought the class would fill up in a heart beat. My club is active and one of 2 in my area. I thought when the club emails went out my email would explode and it would be filled in minutes. unfortunately that wasn't the case. This sport is popular but its just not to the point that these classes are in high demand. If you see something close jump on it and tell your buddies.

CR speed versa pouces are very nice and competitively priced.

It will be fine. I know plenty of guys with DAA gear on other belts. It holds plenty tight.
-
Any luck getting it fixed?
-
Open problems hahaha.

Great thanks for the response.
-
I know they changed it up recently but when exactly do they run them and update the online info?
-
What was the issue?
-
That sucks on several different levels. Could always be worse tho.

I run mine for 4 hours or so. Once in a while I add some polish. Don't really think the polish does a whole lot tho. As far as the media goes, I change it when it gets real dark and doesn't seem to be getting the brass as clean as I like. I know thats a little vague but that one you'll probably have to get a feel for yourself. It does last quite a while tho.

Lol auto correct ate me up there. Now I want some grits. Maybe I'll hit the diner in the morning hahaha.

Here it is. Found t easier than I thought.

There is a thread on here about tuning the vibes prime. It greatly increased the reliability of mine. I'll try to find it and post it shortly.

I have a vibra prime and a RF100. So far I have about a half hour messing with the vibra prime and 3 hours with the rf100. So far they both are equally effective the only difference is the rf100 doesn't require me to hold a trigger to make it go. I'm getting close to selling my rf100 and going back to the tried and true pick up tubes. To all the rf100 people i have tried all the tricks here there and everywhere. It just doesn't want to run for me.

They make them with no pistol grit too.

I would say as long as you do your research you will be ok with the M4. The M2 may be the Ferrari of 3 gun but you have a very nice shotgun. I just bought one too and was thinking the same thing. The only problem with it being gas driven is that it may or may not run light target loads. It is a born and bread combat shotgun and wasn't designed to run low brass bird shot. I had to do a little testing with ammo to get a few options that would run it 100 percent. Don't know if you shooting hand loaded shells or not but I found that it would run the wally world federals as well as the federal top gun in the blue box. Seems like it has to be 3 dram or better. I would say don't worry about it yet especially since you are new to 3 gun. I highly doubt it will be holding you back.

I would say you will never notice the difference. On a bench rest maybe but in match conditions you would never be able to tell.

Just wanted to add something for everyone's consideration. In the event someone would find themselves in a life threatening situation and would have to use a firearm, said firearm would be confiscated in the investigation. Chances are slim one would ever get the firearm back. You can consider it gone. That is why inexpensive polymer carry guns like the shield are attractively priced.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkHave to say that wouldn't even be a concern of mine. Losing the money I spent on it would be the absolute least of my worries if I really had to use it in a defense situation.

I would definitely try a new extractor as well as slide stop. There is a spring if thats what you want to call it and that could wear out eventually. Also check to make sure its installed correctly. You can check your recoil spring by dry firing the gun and holding the trigger to the rear. Then rack and release the slide slowly easing it forward. If the gun doesn't go in to battery you need a new spring. I suspect the jambs are a result of the extractor though. Good luck and keep us posted.

Could you get it in the freezer? I would try leaving it in there a while and maybe things would loosen up just enough to get it out. I knew a guy that had a case head separation in a 9 major open gun and that worked for him.

Seems the general consensus around the internets is that the cci feed very reliably but the winchesters are softer. I personally have never had issues with the winchesters feeding on my press. I have had issues with them feeding in different types of primer fillers.

Make sure the spring under the firing pin stop plunger is in right. Probably jammed in the hole sideways.
I could see that contributing to the burst but could that cause the slide to not go into battery?

Let me know how it works out.

I had a few people drop when they found out it was a full two day class. Its a shame but it is what it is.
