OK, why are they having the Open/Prod shooters shoot 5 stages/5 stages/ 5 stages/ 3 stages but, the lim/l10 shoot 6 stages/ 6 stages/ 6 stages?
-
Here is mine, I'm still looking for a lighter red dot. Tac Sol upper on my Tactical frame.
-
A long staple from the staple gun works also. You can get two from one staple and they tend to be easier to use, at least for me.
-
Darn, it looked good for a few minutes. They took the production rules change/interpretation off, so that document looked like what we were waiting for. Anyone need a SP01?
-
I was going to put it up to buy that 38 super you have posted.
-
Yep, I was thinking the same thing. Glad I didn't go putting the FPB back in or putting it up for sale like I almost did a couple of times.

If you are going to shoot plate racks a lot I would have 4 or 5 170mm. The extra weight helps a ton with the recoil and transitions don't really matter for plate racks.
For IPSC get 1 or maybe 2 170s and at least 3 140s.
For Steel Challenge get all 140s, at least 5.
BTW- you will be able to reload a ton faster with 140 mags.

My plan is to shoot mainly IPSC so I guess I will stick with 2 170s and 3 140s
Thanks

It is always nice to have a really short mag for going prone. I keep that one in the case all the time since we almost never go prone around here.
-
Anyone have a link or know where to find?
Got it, thanks Smitty
Post it so we can see how our buddies did

This gun is like shooting a gun with a really light slide and bull barrel. I find that I can track the front sight way better than with my old edge. I don't know if there is any advantage or not, but it looks really cool and runs great.
-
Here is mine:
STI standard frame, sight tracker slide and barrel built by Matt Cheely. I think I prefer this to my 6 inch gun.
-
You can never have too many mags, but I have a mag case that holds 6 mags so I normally take 2-170's and 4- 140's. I usually take 2 short mags and 1 big stick to the line with me.
-
Rolex,
You are one funny sob you know. You can never have too many of the SV 9mm mags. Actually I think I have reached a limit on how many I need as back up........maybe.
-
Does Powder Valley charge your credit card when the order is placed, or when they ship?
-
JT,
That is so that everyone might get the chance to shoot with the rising sun in their eyes
-
My Tactical Solutions 10 round mags will hold 15 rounds and still function perfectly(when fed good ammo).
-
Those are looking pretty good. You don't need someone else to help test them do you?
-
The profiles look the same though. Let me shorten them and see.

OK, so I ordered up some 220 gr bullets from S&S. When I load them they will not go in the chamber, I can load a 200 gr Zero to the same length and it chambers fine, but the lead bullets will not. Any ideas? I'm loading to 1.22 and the gunsmith told me that I could load even longer and be fine.
-
Never mind, there was a mis comunication there. Good luck finding some.
-
KenD from SSS/Coastal Gun is there.
-
A +2 pad will make a 140mm tube illegal in Limited or L-10.
Only illegal for limited. L-10 has a 170mm mag length.
-
Let me know what kind of wait time you had. I'm thinking of sending it to him.

I really think production as some people envisioned it is a train that has left the station and can never get back. Accepting that fact and moving on I don't know why we can't really simplify the PD rules. It could be as easy as:
* must be DA first shot/striker fired
* must be readily available to the public(set a number if you want)
* gun with an empty mag must fit in the box and have a weight limit
* Only external mods are those listed ie, mill for sights, barrels, grip tape/stipple, extended mag release, but not oversized etc.
* gun must be safe and operable as per rule ...
then keep the 10 round mag limit and equipment position. All of this can easily be check by any competent RO/MD. Nice and simple and give an inclusive list of the allowed external mods and have at it.
I think it is funny that many of us expected a ruling that the dreaded nasty internal set screw was going to be outlawed, but we came out with this interpretation instead. Honestly what else could need to be adressed if you say have at the inside( anything you can not see when the gun is in battery) but the exterior is limited to XYZ ONLY?

I don't know about you, but the 44-73's I fill out says SSN is optional and I always opt not to fill in that box.

Why make us stay an extra day? I'd like to stay for awards, but they are set for Tuesday night after shooting 3 stages. Hell if we could do 6 stages a day Tuesday could be a travel back home day instead of messing around with 3 stages.
