My friends guide rod did same thing last weekend at practice. We were almost finished and his second to last shot the gun locked up and it was the tool less guide rod that broke. Glad it happened in practice and not in a match.

Just be aware that any safety you go with will need fit to the gun, they aren’t just drop in and go.

I started out in carry optics classified B from the gate (61%),not really knowing what was going on in the sport. At the end of my first season, i took an RO class and everything clicked. I decided to switch to limited/major for better points per hit. Had to figure out how to shoot with two eyes open moved from C to B and on the brink of A class. I started listening to Steve Anderson’s pod casts and bought his dry fire book (Refinement and Repeition). The book consists of classifier skills that you build upon to get to where you want to go.

I like to get out a once a week for live fire on the off season. During match season we’re shooting just about every weekend so that’s my live fire. Trying to force myself to dryfire more but it’s hard with two little ones (3 and 1).

I milled the end of the adjustment bar that allowed the holster to sit further away from the body.

I recently got an Everglades holster and it’s super smooth and has a positive lock and smooth draw with no hang ups

+1 on the cat crap. Got it on amazon last season and haven’t had my glasses fog up since

For the price I hope they reload the gun for you, but on a serious note they do look pretty cool

I've seen it, as a CRO at an area match. Seated loaded table start, all mags on table. Maybe 3 or 4 people didn't load their gun at all.
I guess according to this thread I shouldn't have started them?
I would imagine that it relates back to rule
8.1
Also wsb is read for every competitor before the 5mins is started at a major. They also have the ability to read the wsb for their own benefit.

We’re good on the clarification about cocking the hammer and engaging the saftery while the gun is holstered. Disregard the other part that was extra
material that was not relevant

So I read most of this and it’s all the same back back and forth argument, but I want to know the definitive ruling about the following.
Under the make ready command - shooter cocks hammer and turns the safety on without drawing the gun. The shooters hand never leaves the gun and the gun never had a mag Inserted. - is this a dq?
The gun is now ready as if they were ready to start the course of fire, but is simply making ready and taking a first sight picture while drawing on the first target they intend to engage once they load the gun and assume the ready position.

I have an STI trojan in .45 and I have many Wilson ETM mags (Like a dozen) and they all feed all ammo perfectly. I would exchange them and try again. Also one thing to try is to load and unload them to capacity 6 times before using them, as sometimes that settles the Spring and follower. I have to do this with my MBX 2011 mags, never had to do it with the Wilsons, but worth a try. Have the mags been loaded and unloaded 6 times each yet?
I have unloaded them and reloaded them. I’m going to check them in my buddies 1911 and see what happens.

What issues are you having with the magazines?
They will not chamber a round when I load the magazine and rack the slide. The bullets nose dive into the feed ramp. If I load the magazine with the slide locked it will chamber the round more constantly but not always. I have 8 mags and it does this between all 8.

I’m having an issue with Wilson Combat ETM magazine (8 rounders) not functioning properly when they are loaded to 8 or even 7 rounds. I did the load and unload several times. Let them sit for 2-3 weeks loaded with 8 rounds in them. Is there any other suggestions. I reached out to Wilson and they offered to return them for a credit (which i don’t want to do yet).
Im using factory 230gn federal syntec, 230gn white box Winchester, and reloads. All same issue.
Using a STI Trojan. Gun runs the my buddies ETM mags flawlessly loaded to 8 rounds.
Any suggestions?
