The title says it all. I recently changed over from the 24 3G to the 24C. I have shot with the shoe on at a recent outdoor match. I shot it again tonight at an indoor match. I thought I would like the shoe, but it feels like I am forcing my trigger finger into an awkward spot. I am just curious what those of you who shoot that trigger think about using the plastic shoe.

i know this is a few weeks old but feel I should put my 2 cents worth. I started shooting around 1993. Back then we shot in boxes. no charge lines back then. As someone was moving between boxes it was often heard "finger" or "muzzle". IT was common and welcome as there were A LOT of new shooters because the sport was young. I belonged to GPSL (Gwinett Practical Shooting League) Look up the club number, we were the FIRST USPSA club in the state of Georgia. The club is still alive and well. Fast forward to 9 months ago. I come back to practical shooting after being out from 95 to Nov of 2017. I see that there are now charge lines, boxes are rarely used except for classifiers. People are moving, shooting while moving, swinging the gun from right to left. All sorts of activities that make this guy who just came back very nervous. I have joined the same club I was a member of back in 93 - 95. I was an RO back then. I took the RO class again this year because SO MUCH had changed. In RO class it was told to us by the NROI instructor that at Level 1 matches, since this is where most new shooters cut their teeth, a basic level of coaching as far as competitive was allowed as these shooters are just now trying to figure out this sport. What was stressed was that SAFETY was and always will be paramount FIRST consideration. WE were told to make sure that each and every shooter we ran was doing so in a safe manner and to WARN people (Rookies and Experienced alike) about safety issues. Yes we could DQ a shooter, but at level 1 matches it is about learning. ATLDave is the President of GPSL. I have gotten to know him in the last several months. When it comes to being safe on a COF and at the RANGE, I will always defer to his judgement. (the fact he is an attorney and knows very well how to read between the lines and interpret the intent of the language written in the rules). All that being said, As a mid B class shooter moving towards A class and as a newly certified RO, I am overly cautious when I am on the line with shooters. I have been told that I play close to the shooter and could cause a reshoot if a shooter bumps me. I say I would rather be close and see what they are doing and make sure they are doing it SAFELY first than be out of position and miss a 180 break or another safety issue. Being more cautious is ALWAYS better than less. All it takes is one time letting your guard down and then someone is hurt or worse killed. Our sport is in its very nature, VERY DANGEROUS. We take every precaution to keep it safe. IF in the intent is keeping shooters safe, I will ALWAYS give safety warnings. I read this entire thread. I was shocked to read that an RO would let a shooter do something UNSAFE, with full knowledge the act was unsafe and could cause harm to the shooter or himself or a spectator. That person should NOT be an RO. They are not helping the sport, they are hurting it. IF it is you I am talking about then please take a few moments to reflect on what you do as an RO and ask yourself if you would want another RO to do the same to you with all the possible repercussions. IF you can truly say you would feel safe with that RO, well, I don't know what to say to you. SAFETY FIRST and LAST!

any chance of a write up on FB about that mess you made? or for my MD from week before?

And this from the guy who setup a stage that F'd with everyone with those damn off angle port shots. LMAO.

I use a drago bag for my general carry bag. I use a scabbard for going from my Drago bag to the PCC staging table. I transport all that in a GUN CART (girlfriend calls it a baby jogging cart).That allows me to transport the gun and all my other gear in one bag and still stay within the carry rules of several of the ranges I shoot at.

I have been using Decibullz for over 5 months and love them. I bought the percussive ones. They have a small plug in them that clips noise. they are designed specifically for shooting sports. Well worth the 75. They come with both cone shaped attachments and foam attachments. If you use the foam, be sure to order extras. That is the only part that wears out. other than that, I recommend them highly.

I was wondering if anyone was going to shoot the SIG pro-am in August ? https://www.proamshooting.com/ it is August 17 - 19. 300 steel targets. PCC gets to load out fully. (YAY!) I am thinking about it?

I am a dedicated PCC shooter in the GA area. I see about 10 - 15% or more per outdoor match are PCC. the indoor matches can have one (me) or half the squad. As ATLDave said, we have tons of them here in all classes from GM down to U

That is funny! LMAO.

I agree

then please clarify for me how I can win a stage and shoot 94% and be awarded 100% of the available stage points even though I did not score 100% of the stage points. At that point, isn't the awarding of the majority of the points and being shown as getting 150 stage points now a percentile? IE, I am now the high curve percentile wise? Or am I too weak minded to wrap my brain around this?

I am all for re-evaluating the process. Aren't we already using a percentile methodology now with stage point awarding? If so, then making a move to using the same for classifiers should not be such a difficult reach.

I am not sure about TTI but I know that Taylor Freelance +10 for their extension sends a longer spring with the extender as part of the price. I would go back to the TTI sight and see if they already include a spring for the extension and mag tube you are adding it to.

OOPPPS I guess I forgot about this being about CO and pistols. I am a PCC guy and we have all sorts of fun with mags and extensions. LOL I looked at the glockmiester site and they want more for the 24 rounder than they want for a 33 rounder. I looked at other sites and no one has the 24 yet. I would be interested in having a 24 rounder but not at the price of a 33.

IF you put the TF +10 on that 24 rounder you are now at 34. That would be a nice mid size mag for 20+ round stages.

Not sure if this has been asked here yet or not, (don't feel like reading through 5+ pages of posts). I was wondering if and or when Practiscore will be updated with the new HHF's? I shot a match Saturday (CM99-46) and Practiscore shows my score as a 71.03% and the USPSA site classifier calculator shows it with a 66.2229% that is more than a 5% point difference. Also, is there a specific website or a page on USPSA that actually shows the classifiers with the old and new HHF's?

You get what your pay for. I started out with the mil spec trigger. It worked but Damn the pull was awful and I knew I would not be competitive with it. I shopped around and looked at the ads here. I found a sale at optics planet and got my 24 3g at around 180. Best money spent. Lots of reading went into the choice as well as seeing what every shooter around me was using. Like someone just posted. Why spend lots of cash trying to find one you like when there is a proven product that you will read about in these forums over and over again. As soon as you put it in and dry fire it you will know the hiperfire was the right choice. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk

Don't go cheap on the trigger. Spend the cash and get the 24 3g or the 24c. Both are the same trigger mechanism just a different trigger blade. The 3g is less expensive. Btw. They have renamed the triggers, why I don't know. The 3g is now called the reflex Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk

I am curious what one does if you want to put a laser sight on the front of the carbon fiber tube or if you want to mount BUIS? There are no pic rails so how would you take care of that issue with the Taccom tube? Are there other manufacturers who do make a carbon fiber tube that has pic rails?

Thanks again for taking a look at the tube for me. I had looked at the insides of that maybe a dozen or more times and never saw that burr. That is why it is good to get another set of eyes on it.

it has been dropped during mag changes. I guess that could do some tweaking. with as many people I know who use these mags and the TF base pads I would have thought there would have been other reports of this same sort of issue.

Thanks Eric, My new mags should be here before the match Saturday. If not, I will take you up on your offer.

I will. I will bring the tube with me Saturday to RBGC and let you take a look at it. This is more of an academic discussion as I have replacement mags on the way. I was just really surprised that a relatively new magazine failed so early. I thoroughly cleaned the mag, looked for any debris or shaved metal or plastic, tried an unmodified follower, factory 33rnd spring and OEM pad, old spring and unmodified follower, new spring and old follower, new extended spring and both new and old follower. Every possible combination I could think to try. The end result was that any spring and any follower with the TF pad or the OEM +2 pad resulted in failure to feed the rounds up the tube. I put the new spring with the TF pad onto the other 33rnd mag tube and it worked fine. 100% feed with great tension on the rising bullets up the tube. Just weird, just plain weird.

not sure what sort of loader you are talking about but I use a Uplula loader on all my magzaines

I also swapped followers. I am pretty sure every iteration combination to figure this out Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk
