  1. yeh,, why the whole creeping thing is nonsense. Its a false start or it isnt.. I mean in Swimming if there was a false start, and even if the start pistol was fired, the official would rappidly fire a couple extra shots, to get every one to stop. Would be so simple if steel and USPSA to just do the exact same thing... Move before the beep,, false start,, do it again, zero the stage. If RO notices movement, but his brain cant stop his finger,,, and the beep goes off, same same,, he just yells stop,, and restarts shooter...
  2. Winchester sucks,, they used to be the best,,, then about 2020 started having QC issues.. had a batch and had same issues, getting stuck in the tubes,, missing primer compound, a large primer in a small primer box... Was like 1 out of 100 was bad. finally got through them I think and any WIN I have left are older..
  3. no go on the pics couldnt figure out how to hold / prop the guns,, all 3 are different, and work a touchscreen, to get anything usefull.. The online specs of the burris , pretty much jive with what I measured,,, the lens is actually taller,, but slanted back,, so I called it about .7 X 1.10.. Didnt what to scratch up glass with mikes. Looks like the venom is a hair shorter,, Venom,, is about the same useable size.. Burris is bigger but the shape of it probably doesnt offer more useable glass. The FTP is noticably taller like .820 high about same width on all three. Personally ? its a toss up between the Venom and Burris,, Burris has different reticles, but not a good 6 MOA, I played with the 11 with brightness down a bit. the circle ones are an eyesore and I dont see the point.. At this point kinda thinking of switching. Putting the Burris on my 22/45 steel challenge gun where the 11 MOA may be good.. and the 6 moa on my 617 which I shoot Icore with and the X ring accuracy is more criticle. For games of the 3 I like the FTP the best though. not sure where its made though.
  4. the ones with the front area,,, usually that area has a split or cut in it, so you can spread them out like wings towards the front,, this adjusts the triggers take up,, IE how far the slop is in the trigger before it makes contact... The set screw adjusts rear ward travel. If the trigger came from someone like Atlas specifically for their frames they probably have it dialed in to the amount of take up they want.. Generic after market ones like Wilson combat,, I am guess still have the cut
  5. No problem,, heading to the shop to dig for a Carver mount , I just mounted the Burris IV on the 617,, will mike all three and see if I can get a decent pic
  6. capacity arms race pretty much stabalized in open and limited as folks figured out it didnt matter a whole lot. Back then I think you had more steel frame guns,, and 15 probably was fairly standard.. But today is to0day.. You probably find 17 pretty common.. I imagine a 126 or box rule would stabilize things fairly soon. Might have guns with a 1 round advantage..and yeh would kill any 40 production guns.
  7. I am fine with 3-5 years, I figure something better will be out by then anyways.. I had 2 vipers die,, 1 sorta my fault/design issue.. open bottom made getting new battery in hard and I bent the nub.. Replaced.. That guy has been going strong for some time including a season on a 200 plus pf slide ride. so maybe 4 years ? Had it on my steel .22 in a frame mount. just this week though I couldnt get it to zero.. would be slightly off make a small adjustment and it would jump 4 inches. I could probably send it back, but never liked the open bottom design and haveing to remove it to change battery.. I had a Venom that was on my 617, and put that on the 22/45. New in box Burris IV went on the 617 for ICORE. I liked it bettter than the III, I could actually get the battery in.... The dust cover though resulted in much cussing, as it uses the 2 tinniest screws known to man... It will have to come off to change battery and I dont see it going back on... I wish it had a taller window though dont recall if it has a shake to wake function or not. I prefer the FTP sight the most.. due to its taller window.. Not sure how much that will help on the clock. I have it on my 627.
  8. pretty much only positive I saw, other than was a half measure. Shoulda just gone with a box or length rule.
  9. I have a railed single stack 1911, granted its a Rock island, but carver makes a couple different models.. I had to drill and tap an extra set screw,, probably due to the out of spec Rock island POS, saw this mone, looks like an STI 2011 in the pic the black part on top comes in different setups for different optics,, IIRC mine would be for a viper/venom/burris... You can buy just that piece.. If I can find it I will let you know this afternoon, I have ZERO use for it.. found I shot pins better with irons.
  10. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/102134525?pid=280959
  11. sorry but thats just dumb, There is no requirement to wait until the beep is over.. Moving DURING the beep is called starting. Just made something very simple that every other sport that starts with a beep, bang or light has figured out complicated.
  12. well doing good in USPSA doesn t equal being able to shoot,,, so yeh... I can see the run fast people being butt hurt they need to do something other than run fast
  13. I will dig tommorrow,, I will never load 38 super again.. I was trying to set up a tool head for 38 short colt,,, and seem to recall trying some 38 super dies and it failing,, So I think I might have what you need burried some where
  14. probably correct.. the only guns that need the rim probably shouldnt be shooting 38 super level loads anyways. and stick with 38 Auto... According to chart I looked at it seems Everyone but Remington has done just that and all 38 super ammo is now near rimless.
  15. well considering super comp is rimless, or even with web like a 9mm, and super has a rim somebody isnt making Sammi brass if its marked super. Super comp should be .386 while super is .406.. Back in the 38 auto and maybe supers headspaced on the rim,, but switched to case mouth head space long ago making the rim irrelevant. Found an interesting chart,, looking like Lapua and Armscor are making 38 super ammo, but basically using 38 super comp specs.. What brand did you have ?
  16. yeh at least a standing reload is a skill other than run fast
  17. no my question was why go to a Barsto ported barrel to begin with if he is wanting to shoot minor PF tightgroup loads. He spent a bunch of money to accomplish nothing.. Factory barrels are plenty accurate.
  18. yeh super comp is a thing for 30 round mags
  19. For a single stack ? and for carry ? I would probably go with 38 super as you can get factory loads if you go that route.. and its possible you wont be able to go back and forth with the same extractor.. Maybe an Aftec. The advantage of Super comp was a smaller rim even with the web, that hair made a difference in higher capacity mags , usually adding up to an additional round and better reliability. In regular double stack mags, and single stacks I never had an issue getting 38 super to feed.
  20. Alot to do with why ? just caught the ported part,, again WHY ? Ported to reduce recoil but its so tight you gotta up powder charge to get it to run ? Then you are running one of the fastest powders available guaranteeing the ports do even less ? What exactly were you trying to accomplish ?
  21. yeh couple times I shot single stack I felt like a 1 legged man at an ass kicking contest. At one time IDPA kinda defaulted to lots of 12 round stages... Everyone reloaded once and only once. 6 , 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 round guys .
  22. Looking at that pic though,, is that as far as you are getting ? Was thinking OAL in a tight chamber at first.. But you are getting failure to feed not failure to chamber.. Shorter OAL may help.. I mean its not a 1911 made for 1.2 ammo.. 1.150 is getting a bit long.. you are also sitting at 120 PF.. pretty light for that gun if you are running stock springs. and XDM's dont take kindly to super light recoil springs. Is there a reason you are loading that long ? Like you also use it in a 1911 that likes longer ammo ? If not personally Id clean snot out of exctractor, and drop OAL to 1.130 and up the powder to hit about 130 pf. I mean you have gone to a tight accuracy driven barrel. Your ammo is going to have to be ideal to get back to the level of reliability you had.. Pick up a box of Blazer 124's if your gun runs fine, problem is you ammo
  23. why I said in first page,, If LEO matters to anyone, includiing said LEO, the they are wrong... No special rules or special people.
  24. yeh I got it now got crosseyed or something looking at the #47. actually shows a 17.7 max... good night Irene,, no thanks
