I’m pretty sure Wampum does a knockdown steel match. If you think SC if fun then give that a rip.

I wish I could give more insight but to be honest I don’t know much either. I was just referencing the video. I will say though, give Adam a call. He’s very helpful and very willing to answer any of your questions on the phone

What about the cases that have that small dotted ring around the outside about halfway down? The brass isn’t stepped but is that something to worry about, especially for a 9 major load?

Are results up yet? I know Max won but I haven’t seen the official results yet.

I think it has a lot to do with weight distribution in the proper places. Adam talks about it a bit in this video

10 seconds is a lot of time to shave but if you break it down a little bit I think it’s doable. Look at it this way. 10 seconds split between 8 stages is 1.25 seconds per stage. 1.25 seconds between 4 strings (that count) is about .31 seconds per string. For me a string with a clean draw, fast transitions and no misses can easily be .31 seconds faster than a normal string. The kicker is doing that for an entire match

This was my answer. The range chicks make it all worth it

I think a majority of the time the reason for not letting people shoot 2 guns is to allow more people in general to shoot the match. I don’t care where you go or how great your club is, at some point there is a limit to how many competitors you can have in a single day. Any match that I have seen that has a 1 gun limit is either full or nearly full every month. The clubs with less attendance never seems to have a problem allowing second guns to fill empty slots. I’d shoot 4 guns if it could but I’d rather see interest in the sport go up by allowing more people to participate.

I paid $35 yesterday for 1k. That’s about normal price around here when buying in store

I have suppressor height sights on my CO Glock. They sit right at the bottom of the screen on my DPP. They helped me when learning how to present the gun with the dot in the screen each time. Also they helped big time when shooting weak hand only. I don’t particularly need them anymore but they don’t bother me at all so I’ve just left them on.

I’m signed up and got my Saturday slot. I swear the whole match filled up in like 5 minutes. I did see Doug and Max are both shooting CO on Friday. John Vlieger was the high overall last year I believe and he’s shooting it again this year. Ontelaunee is an awesome club. I shoot steel there quite a bit. You’ll have a great time.

Yes I do

Crap I knew I’d spell it wrong.... I agree. He was more than willing to help in any way possible.

Little update. I included my phone number in my original email and received a call from Bevin (I think that’s how you spell his name) from Grams about an hour ago. He was extremely helpful. First off he mentioned that there was a packaging issue for a little while that they thought they had resolved but apparently there was still a few out there. He said the correct number on the bottom of my follower for 9mm in STI mags is S92. He gave me quite a few good suggestions to try and remedy the problem but ultimately said that the most common problem is out of spec STI mag tubes. Which from what I’ve read online doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibility. He was a super cool dude and very helpful. Offered for me to call him back with any questions when I have the mags in front of me.

Wow you’re quick. Thank you very much! I will compare your pictures to mine later when I get home.

I received an email back stating that they had received a few packages that were mislabeled but they believed they had them all fixed. Any chance someone has a picture of their STI mag with a grams follower in there that I could reference to mine? Thanks in advance.

I recently purchased 4 Grams springs and followers kits for my STI 2011 magazines. I shaved the tab off of each of them like they suggest and installed them in the magazines. The problem happens when the mag is getting close to full. The rounds start to nose dive just about every time. It consistently happens with all 4 mags. I ended up looking at the package and it appears that the item number is correct (FKS9-11 for 140mm STI/SV Mags) but the grams label says they are for EAA/Tanfoglio mags. Is there a chance I was sent the wrong followers? I have an email out to the company that I purchased them from but haven’t heard back yet. Here is a picture of the package.

That’s super cool. I’m impressed you got it to run just right on the first try. Nice little SBR as well

Yep. MBX sells 10rd mags but boy it’s a kick in the balls to spend that kind of money on a neutered magazine.

I shoot CO and Open in NY. Everyone just shoots 10rd mags so the playing field is level no matter what division you’re shooting. As stated above very rarely are classifiers effected by a 10rd mag limits. I don’t think a NY club would pick to shoot one that would be effected anyway. I just keep my standard cap mags out of state so when I travel to shoot I can actually be competitive.

I love the look of that gun so much. I’m all for competing with my 2011 but I just want one of these in the safe to shoot at my leisure.

I go down to Ontelaunee Rod & Gun Club in New Tripoli every month to shoot their steel match’s but I’ve also shot a few USPSA matches there as well. They put on some great shoots. Both the East Coast Steel Challenge Championship and Area 8 Championship are there this year as well. If you’re only an hour away I’d definitely say it’s worth the drive. My trip takes about 5 hours and I keep coming back. The other club I go to occasionally is Matamoras but that is up closer to the NY boarder.

Where abouts in PA are you? I travel down to the Allentown area regularly from NY to shoot. A few good clubs around there

Seems like a GoPro mounted on the visor is pretty popular. I just got one of those new AimCams for Christmas. It doesn’t seem as clear as a go pro but I like the angle better. I plan on trying it for a season and see how it goes.
