  1. The rule now reads: "Each magazine must be contained individually within the magazine pouch. Magazines may not be retained through magnetic means." There is no guidance other than that, so I'd think a standalone magnet is fine as long as it's by itself on the belt and not attached to another pouch.
  2. Yeah, it's like a total 180, lol. It makes sense, though - a light with batteries doesn't add much weight, so it's hard to use it as a de-facto frame weight. Gonna go order a bunch of X-300 knockoffs.
  3. And after I milled my Single Stack guns, lol... No real complaints from me on these. It feels like we're moving toward merging Production and Limited somewhere down the line. It's nice that I don't have to ruin lights anymore at least, though my half-pound light housing full of lead shot is nice for recoil in Limited.
  4. I like BBI. Their coat is a little thinner than some others but it's never given me issues. SNS is also only listing what they have and shipping within 48 hours. Good dude(s).
  5. I wasn't angry until I saw that they're still taking in orders. How deep of a backlog do you need?
  6. Now entering Month 7 of waiting on Gallant to ship a case of 147's.
  7. The berms are laid out north/south. I'll let Pat answer for sure, but my guess is the reserved squads are overflow that we can open if needed.
  8. Are there recoil busses of any sort machined into the slide? It looks like the Venom is free-floating on the sides where the busses would go. It does look like the back of the optic has some support so that's good!
  9. Not that bad yet. I think I can make it through this season with what I have. Thanks, though - I'll keep you in mind.
  10. Howdy BEnosverse. I'm a revolver shooter 80% of the time but I like to mix in semi-autos in the off-season. I've been mostly shooting the 1911 platform because I like the ergo's but have a tendency to jerk the single-action triggers since I'm used to rolling revo triggers. I'd seen LDA guns in the past but never gave them much thought - like everyone else, I pretty much poo-poo'd a DA 1911 as a wacky idea. The more I think about it, though, the more I'm thinking it might make sense to my wheelgun-trained brain. Does anyone own one? What do you think about it? Ever competed with it? Thanks!
  11. If other Para-pattern mags work in your gun (or Armscor/MecGar), there's no reason to think that these wouldn't. I've heard mixed results with trying to cross the Para/STI streams, though - sometimes the combination works (usually with modifications), sometimes it doesn't.
  12. Warren and I have discussed making a Rhino into a 10mm if things get desperate enough... Right now, 10mm brass is about as hard to get as primers, though.
  13. Bring me ammo and I gun and I'll happily use it. Hell, I might have to buy a 625 if small primers don't turn up soon.
  14. Welcome aboard! Whereabouts in CO are you? What sports/divisions do you shoot? IDPA. They also have the USPSA state championship and the IDPA regional championship. I'm gonna spend a lot of time in the Grand Junction Clarion this summer, lol.
  15. Thanks! They're my main gun at this point - used one in IDPA Regionals last year, slated to use them again this year in IDPA Regionals, ICORE Regionals, USPSA CO State Championship, and Border Wars (4" for IDPA, 5" or 6" for everything else; still playing with both of them until I settle on one I like more).
  16. I've done that one, but I shoot revolver so I caught it in the safety area when I took the gun out. I popped out the moon of snap-caps and pocketed it... and never made that mistake again. And yeah, I think it's a fair trade to keep shooting at a local in exchange for merciless mockery . That should be an official USPSA rule.
  17. I'm always torn on the aesthetics. I think it's objectively ugly, but I like how it looks because it truly is form following function. I guess it's the same reason I think things like obnoxious hood scoops and bolt-on splitters are attractive on race cars (but less so on Honda Civics...).
  18. Thanks for posting these! Looked like a great match. Man is it fun to watch Caleb and Rich do work.
  19. Sure - I largely post to my Instagram: MattyShootsStuff Here's some video with one of my older Rhinos: Note: I'm not great.
