Dropped his gun when existing a port.

His barrel cracked/broke. Backup gun’s barrel was cracked/broke in the weeks leading up to the match is what I hear. Beretta seems to have some serious metallurgic problems.

Give the P-10F a look. Not sure why these don’t get more attention. Phenomenal striker gun… and they’ve been CHEAP lately.

Yet another RO that doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Shocking. is 100% not an issue to do this.

A nationals event should NEVER be located more than 90 minutes from a major hub of the largest air carriers. NEVER. Absolute deal breaker. It makes the air travel so much more expensive when there’s limited capacity and competition on the routes.

This has been my experience with most MBX mags. They’ll load to capacity… but you need a 9 major Barney round to get the slide to cycle.

Don’t see much reason to run a rifle length. but an A5/Intermediate with the blitzkrieg 5020ss hydraulic buffer is

Anyone making a slide racker plate for the CZ or CZC optic cut? Would like to try to use my Czechmate for LO ll, but still have the option for open.

There is no reason to have a printed magazine in 2023. If a member can log on to vote (all elections online now), there’s zero reason for the expense of the print magazine… other than to spend money.

Could also be the coating. Dry film lubricant vs just plain ol anodizing.

It sounds like the aversion is to SAO guns. Perhaps we should make a rule against them… or require a drop safety. That would take care of the situation far better that a pull weight restriction ever could.

Of course there are “long term professional shooters” that have never DQ’d. There are also C class folks that can’t keep their finger off the trigger and the muzzle pointing downrange at any speed. The trigger pull weights of either of the aforementioned competitors would have little bearing upon their likelihood to DQ. You’re going to see 180’s far more than you do ND’s. The top level competitors also have much better bearing on their physical limits and don’t often exceed them at major matches. Can’t say as much for a lower level competitor in my experience. I’d be far more inclined to wear a plate carrier RO’ing a local club match than I would the super squad at a USPSA major event. Stop trying to blame gear for shooter incompetence.

You must be super fun at parties. My CZ Czechmate and all mu PCC’s have sub-1# trigger pulls… not an issue. If you’re not safe with your gun handling… the pull weight it kind of irrelevant. And if you are… the trigger weight is a nonissue.

Interesting. My EGW CZ TS plate was exceptionally tight.

I look at the Kynshot buffer this way… Sub-140PF loads: My goto is the 5020ss in an A5 tube… but you could opt for the 5007 if you wanna stick with a CAR tube. 140+PF loads: 5015HD in a CAR tube Spring selection then determines the feel. I use the SpringCo orange for most application… but an XP AR15 spring could feel better for you… springs are cheap. Play around with it and your particular load… don’t sell yourself short bc that’s what some dude on the internet said to use.

I’ve use the Radian with the 24C and Eclipse for years. Works fine.

But. Why?

Sure. But that means you’re also partially depressing the roller. Kinda defeats the purpose of having a RDB.

Doesn’t particularly look all that much lower… and for an aluminum plate… I’ll take all the threads I can get!

Definitely more competitive. The EGW dovetail mount isn’t ideal… but it’s lower than the frame mounted optic (but higher than direct mill for sure).

This is also true. The Czechmate works with almost any of it… since it ain’t got popples

They can run it with. At least mine could.

The Czechmate will suit you well for this task. It’s a great entry level option for even open major… the platform shortcomings won’t be noticed until you’re approaching the very top of competition. They’re prone to muzzle dip with the heavy steel comp on there. I’ve been shooting mine with the front sight block as a limited optics gun for a few weeks now. The MBX mags are PHENOMENAL. A much better option than factory mags + extension + tuning.

More mass isn’t always the best. Especially with PCC specific loads. I run my gun with the Blitz 5020ss without the bolt weight. Really prefer that impulse.

I can get 24 in my MBX CZ large frame mags… but the stack tension is super high. Slide movement is very sluggish on that first shot and prone to malfunctions.
