Nice, congrats on the hard work.

Congrats.....

Area 8, Stage 10

I am also in law enforcement. I believe that all the opinions here have most of the bits and pieces of the "whys" LEO's do not compete a lot. I have a couple from my department that compete. I know of a handful of others from various parts of the state that like to compete. I was in police work for 22 years before I tried any competition and it stuck and I loved it. Others have come once or twice and no more. Speaking for my department, our officers get a part of a weekend off every 4 weeks and a full weekend off every 6-7 weeks due to how the schedule rotates. Most of the towns around us get every other weekend off. Most are not willing to give up one of their two days off to spend shooting and I do believe it is because they are just not gun people. I am fortunate enough to have a M-F day work assignments for the last 6 years which has allowed me to compete and I am a gun person. If I had the schedules mentioned, I would probably not be competing or would only on occasion be able to compete. I myself can only go to two matches a month or my loved one is not a happy camper and the stress of arguing about it is not worth it. I believe it is invaluable the gun handling skills, shooting on the move skills and all around safety awareness I have been able to learn and achieve in the couple years I have been involved in USPSA. We are a pretty active department as far as firearm training is concerned and with myself being one of the range masters, we have taught and developed many of these skills for our officers. We even hold one or two USPSA type stages at each qualification and the officers love them. But even with all that positive training and exposure, out of 76 officers, only two of us really compete. I truly believe as many have expressed. You are either a gun person or not. If you are, you might try USPSA or another shooting dicilpine and out of those that try, it still seems that a small percentage will stay with it. I am glad I tried and now I just can't do without it.

Great job!

Congrats to a fellow officer. Now I need to practice, practice, practice.

Ditto to everything above. After taking a class from him and Max in PA, he is the nicest guy I know, except for me maybe lol.

+1 There can be no other this month. Thank you for your time and efforts. For those of us that have never been there and those who couldn't make it, it was a great spectator sport.

Congrats! Great achievement!!

All the above!

Are you doing the reload the same as you would if you are standing still? It looks like you should be keeping the gun a little higher during the reload. I really never thought about it being the same, I just reload and execute it close to the same whether standing or moving. On this stage, it is while trying to back out of the array. I originally wanted to shoot that target array left to right then reload while backing out , but I ended up not executing it the way I planned. I am working on getting the gun higher up into my vision as I do tend to reload looking down a bit much. Sorry JimInFL, I did not mean to hijack this thread.

I have a short video of this type movement from Summer Blast. It is stage 8 and I have to move right to left. I try to get the reload done within the first step or two. This is my first video, so other comments are welcome.

Great job, I am trying to learn that steel secret myself. Back to work.

I believe the Glock Jockey guys make a big stick, not sure how, but you could inquire.

Yeah, Lets go with Superheros!

I can't thank all the RO's and everyone that worked the match enough. It was hot, yet everyone did an outstanding job. Larry, your son has a place in the sales industry, he nearly made me go broke at the Red Dot table. I had a "Blast" and look forward to next year. With my first two major matches under my belt this year, I have a better idea where I need to go in my training. Thanks again for all the hard work, great match.

Made mine at 14 (1973) in Ft. Wayne IN. Had my first contact with firearms at summer camp, shooting .22 rifles. A great learning experience with lessons I still use today.

It just doesn't get any better than that. Hats off to all involved, and thanks to all who serve in our military!

Sean, I shot with you for the first time in Southern Chester recently and I hope you have a safe deployment. Two guys from my department are scheduled to be deployed about the same time. Take care and stay alert. Thank you for your service.

According to a recent Armorers class, there were two generations of magazines for the .40 calibers. One with the #3,4,5 followers and another with the #6,7,8 followers. We were told that the parts were not interchangeable with each other. They also emphasized that the #7 follower did not work and not to use it.

According to the Glock armorers manual, the NY #1(olive green) with the 3.5lb connector should give you the 5lb pull you are looking for. The NY#1 with a 5lb connector is 8+ lbs. The NY spring drops right in following the shape of trigger housing, the other springs you show, trigger springs, are not used with the NY spring.
