I’m always taking my guns off and my belt a lot of the time. It hurts toward the end of the day. I never weighted my revo and open gun but they are both heavy and I’m never above 151 in the summer at 5’7”. Maybe the heavy gun helps with my lack of mass? Compared to the giants above! it might explain why I sucked at limited?

Same. Especially weak hand, it took a lot of practice to get decent with a revo. Shooting a 2011 weak hand is a breeze. I don't have an issue going back and forth to be honest, other than the tendonitis flares up worse on the revo.

Ok nothing fancy but 75yrd w/irons with a S&W 929. What I do remember most is the delay from bang to "ding". I was shooting a 165gr going 760fps.

You are being too nice Mike. it’s politics. We too had a run in with the ICORE BOD last year with the CDN regionals “postal” match. To cut it short a stats official shot it multiple times and took off 120 seconds from their score. Said person just shot Mark’s match this weekend. Let’s just say we were thoroughly and utterly vindicated. ICORE is dying. It’s sad as it’s fun but the IRC attendance is not going in the right direction these years past. The 2018 IRC was our first and by far the best.

I use the MBX Cali 10 rounders, my wife has the SPS pinned with a plate. A lot of open guys up here have a pop riveted plate that gets removed once in MI. We are much closer to NY so nothing changes but not seeing being able to cross the border anytime soon anyway so it’s a non issue

Hmmm I think 1.23 or 1.24 While I started in IPSC shooting standard I was never good at it. By the time I got my SV I was shooting revo and then jumped straight to open.

I use 190gr Ibejheads with 4.3gr N310. Super soft but a very fast powder. I load real long for an SV. Not sure if it’s wise if you have to load shorter. most will say it’s not wise at all but I never had an issue.

My diet is rather boring mostly revolving around grass fed beef, vegetables (salad greens, kale, carrots squash, broccoli etc), eggs, all kinds of berries, fish oil, red wine, vodka. No a lot of what I eat comes out of a box. I do occasionally eat chocolate, chips and pasta. The trick there is buy really good snack foods. The better quality and better taste means you will be satisfied quicker and eat less. It's the mid level bland salty/sugary/fattyness that dominates the fast food/processed food space that is the killer. And it's designed that way, to get you to eat and eat and eat. There was a great book on the food industry called sugar salt fat. Add some strength training and you are good to go. Along with some massage therapy. I've got a good guy who's been working away on the mess that is my upper back and my soon to return elbow tendonitis from dryfire and shooting.

No. That's why I've stuck to the facts.

Basically trapped in Canada. Can't get on an airplane, train or ferry. Wonderful. But yes as per the USA entry requirements it is pretty new. Supposedly enforcement depends on the border agent if one feels like pressing their luck.

Hell no. Can’t enter the USA.

Looks like fun. But won’t happen for us for the foreseeable future given our medical choices.

Maybe but I had a pile (7000) of blazer I was using for revo shooting up to 12 loadings before I got another pile going. I had the odd crack but nothing noticeable

Not sure why rollsizing cancels out the u die. Both size in different places on the case. I have ran tens of thousands of 9mm brass through both. I shoot 38sc now though, never did 9 major.

I’ve got 200,000+ cycles on my Lee 9mm U die. As for Hornady? I’ve had 2 come apart and my Dillon dies sit unused. the Lyman pro die pack wasn’t worth the $.

I wish I knew what you were talking about? I put the 90 degree Allchin mount on, stuck the CMORE Slideride on and discovered it shot dead on target. I mean -zero- adjustment. Not like my open 2011's. The smith said he roughly sighted the slideride. Like not hitting the target rough. Took about 25 minutes to sight it in. I left my front sight on my 929. I did have to remove some material to get the slideride to fit on. I remember reading that Dean posted something about it, I just don't remember exactly what it was.

Supposedly the guy making the primers is the only difference besides the cost and packaging. You are paying for his expertise. That’s what I read anyway.

So they seated with 9 but not 10? I assume you followed the loading/unloading procedure?

The slideride I put on my 929 shot perfect without any adjustment. Can’t say the same for my open guns however.

I'm with RJH on the super short stages. I had a match a few weeks back that I did in 4sec vs the next was 5.5, the C's didn't hurt much when the stages are super short and hey it's major. When you have to slow or stop to get A's on such short stages you are gonna get beat. Someone told me I was one of those go-fast types who after a few years figures out how to hit the A & C's. Which is kinda true, the first year or two was dreadful.

All our end caps are gone. We did a classs with MWP and the first thing he told us to do was ditch em. Our guns look like the above ^^^^^

It was caused by the implants. My wife had it done and several top shooters up here had it done too. I didn't really need it was I just starting to get presbyopia but why wait until it got bad? https://www.myalcon.com/ca/en/panoptix/ It's been 9 months and supposedly the startbursting/haloing goes away in a year(?) but the more intense the light source the more halo's I get. Nice not having to wear contact lenses and for everything but gunsmithing I don't need glasses. Supposedly the brain learns to see "past" the halo's at some point? I can live with it. Oddly it seems I can now see the front sight without having to cover my left eye like I did when I was shooting irons before the surgery. But I have not actually tried shooting irons at all and the MD wouldn't let me shoot both my revo's on the same squad this Sat past. Another observation is that all those top shooters who had the surgery all shoot dots. The old eyeballs can't transition to the front sight from the target like when we were younger...lol No matter what you do.

Having shot both the RTS2 and slideride the slideride is definitely better but maybe just for me? I had my eyeball lenses replaced so the slideride does not starburst like the micro dots.
