i think production should be exactly that. a gun right out of the box. no mods, if i choose to shoot a canik so i can get more rounds then that just has to get balanced against the lower capacity pistols with better triggers and lower recoil. i think this would make it so people could choose to play to the strengths of the gun they choose

im in the middle of buying an akai! they better make good guns!

Got the opportunity to shoot one of our bigger matches at Sir Walter Gun Club. After this match ill probably be focusing on shooting smaller matches and focusing on my movement skills more The Journey Continues....

I've been shooting lead put of my open gun for the entire year so far and no lead fowling or build up. I have an ultrasonic cleaner but I only clean it once every ten matches or so

i should have started in SS. I shot a match the other day and on the classifier my 8 sec open time was an A score and guy in SS with the same time had a GM score. im actually still thinking about shooting SS for a while just so i can justify buying a DW PM 45

Ive asked matt totally unrelated questions about gunsmithing and he has answered and been honest

i think they should just make the shooters who dont help paste or run the tablet or the timer tear down I hate tearing down, but i always help if its required. I also paste every stage or run the tablet every stage. I am always resetting or helping the match run You do not want to be known as the shooter that doesnt help reset or doesnt help tear down. Thats an easy way for you to not make friends, or be iced out of people who want to squad with you Why are friends important in this sport? well not too long ago i had no primers in the great primer shortage of 2020...two people i shoot with a lot sold me 5k primers each at cost just because they know me and they know id help them if they needed it That 20 mins at the end of a match does a lot more than just delay you getting home

Shot a really fun match @ Pitt county wildlife club. I'm definitely starting to focus in on where I'm loosing time. I need to dryfire more so I dont bomb anymore classifiers. I'm definitely trying to make it to A class by the end of the year so I can spend all of next year pushing up to master and GM The Journey Continues.....

check out NOE, they make a ton of really great molds. i have the .356 lee and noe molds and i resize them both after powder coating.

start casting your own out of lead. Thats what i started doing, not that i have any shortage of bullets, i mean i probably have like 6k blue bullets, but im starting to cast more because it is way easier to just find lead (sinkers, wheel weights etc) than it is to continue to get blue bullets

for me its about 20k

i tried 115s and 124s/5s and in competition i couldn't really tell the difference. maybe thats because the style of match that i shoot is all about going fast and i didnt really have time to analyze how it felt. I stick with 124s/5s because they are cheap and available. I also cast my own 125s , but i have a stockpile of 115s that i will 100% load if my supplies ever get low

i have a year of primers saved up. in 6 months ill start looking for more

1.235 here. I tuned the mag feed lips so the bullet is pointed directly into the chamber and after that i started loading a bit longer to about 1.240 Both feed perfectly fine also using mbx

what combo of mags and springs are you using for a 30 rd big stick? I can only ever get 29 in mine

ez high overall tho ez division win

shot a great match at a new club this weekend! It had everything I could want out of a great match and ill definitely be shooting there again! Had a few blunders but managed to place 6th overall. There were some spots I could solidly see need more work during practice. The Journey Continues... Also new to the world of commentary so be gentle

Thank you for some very solid advice!!

this! i use HD and hit it for 16 mins s#!t comes out so clean its like from the factory, and the best part is that you dont have to take anything apart. I throw the entire upper in there and the liquid gets in all the cracks! Make sure to oil it after though, i use fp-10

correct. its a small supply but I'm hoping after November is over things will go back to normal

and here i am with a stash of 15k primers that i bought during this so called crisis...........

all the ones they make for the m&P 2.0

I used a ton of adapter plates for 9 major and all of them broke. eventually i just milled the slide and everything was 100% better This was prior to me fully jumping into the open game

Im in the hotbed of shooting activity for several states, we have several GM level pro shooters that operate their own ranges and run matches in addition to the regular matches all the ranges run. Usually fri, sat, sun of each week in a month you can find a match within an hours drive. I reload my own ammo, and it doesnt even really cut down on cost, but i do buy around 15k of each component and lots of powder and usually load a whole bunch at once so i only really need to load once every few months

i wake up at 5 am every day to do dryfire, breakfast and a small workout. probably nothing close to crushing weights like an athlete like yourself would, but just small things to try and stay in shape better. Im curious what movement drills do you do during dryfire? How do you work on your footwork and speed?
