That looks similar to the BAD lever. Based on advice of people that I know personally, I decided against any device that is inside the trigger guard. I have a Raptor charging handle & Wilson Combat extended bolt release. That combo works well for me without
Indeed, similar to Bad lever. I had to retrain myself in the use, especially to avoid automatically activating it. But since, never had issues.

I always use the proposed method fo any AR platform firearm. Also, if in a bolt open situation, I simply hit the bolt release gather than running the charging handle. (I don’t shoot IPSC, so I’m not sure if the start is bolt open or closed)
Thanks. To open/close the open bolt I installed a Phase 5 EBR v3, which ensures I can do all manipulations with my strong hand. Does require some training and getting used to.

Been playing with my Apex 10 and having same primer issues. Sideway primer locked up machine once but out of 250 rounds had about a dozen rounds with no primers... sure makes a mess.
I'm now directly in touch with M7. They recommended some additional mods, which I'm currently working on. I'll keep you guys updated.

Video that explains the IPSC technique for pre-loading/push out your leg for more explosive and efficient shooting position exit, shaving of valuable stage time. In a following video I'll explain the difference in use between the drop step and the pre-load technique. Let me know in the Comments below which technique you use for position exits!

What a weird way to make minutes of a Board meeting ...

I've always done it the first way he demonstrates. I guess I'll have to try bringing the gun up immediately.
Try it out several times and see how it feels and what the timer says

Most of the shooters I see are running stages without reloads, they have 55 round mags, but since I only have 27rd mags that run 100%, I'll be reloading, and I am going to practice your techniques. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the appreciation! In IPSC the mag capacity in PCC Division is limited to 32 + 1 in the chamber.

Estonia
Horner just received new DDC inventory. Otherwise, I suggest you contact Cesar Shop and/or IPSC Store to ask if they know DDC and if they're interested to take it into their inventory.

I recently decided to switch to the open division.
Before that, I shot quite successfully with a CZ Shadow 2 in the Production Optics Division
My CZ was redesigned by a gunsmith and fitted with a weaker recoil spring, a Trijicon RMR and when shooting fast the red dot has almost never left the window.
Convinced that the Dot will be even flatter in the open division i bought my first open gun, a 2011 from a well known gunsmith in Germany.
The gun is in 9 major and my recent setup looks like this
17 lbs mainspring
8 lbs Wolff recoil spring
Compensator is the big 2 port from the Vista Short.
My reload currently looks like this
7,4 grain of Vectan SP2 right behind a Frontier 121 gr bullet ( a coated flat Point Bullet) at 1.1417 inch.
Powerfaktor is about 164
maybe my idea of the open division was just wrong, but the red dot is very unstable and I'm really not that much faster than with my shadow.
am I doing something wrong or something? expectations just too high? I appreciate nice tips
Welcome to the Open club
Contrary to popular belief, an open gun doesn't automatically make you shoot faster or better! Your - positive - mental attitude combined with your level of skills, especially and most importantly in movement (shooting on the move) and transitions, do. Stage planning is also a bit different in open. Dots also always move a little bit. The way you hold the grip of the gun is also very important to make sure the RD moves up/down and quickly returns to zero. Minimum PF in open is indeed 160, but it's possible that the RD on your open gun returns faster to zero with a higher PF (for my guns thats ~172), due to better performance of the comp. Check the forum, most open shooters use 124 gr. bullets and a 9 pound recoil spring (with buffer!) A good way to test is on the range and film the gun against a background where you can see and dissect your maniipulation and the operation of the gun. You need to experiment by tweaking one thing at the time, analyse its results and then tweak another thing. Don't tweak everything at once.

Could you solve the priming system/disc problem? Thx for sharing, derrick
With the new disc, the blockage stopped, but I still have inconsistencies in primer pick up (every 35 primers or so). I'm waiting on feedback from M7 through DAA. I'll keep you posted.

Priming problem solved on APEX 10, the priming punch set too low at the factory and the shellplate tightened.
Great !
The new disc solved the blockage, but not the consistency ... I already calibrated the punch and the plate, but inconsistencies continue.

Video of a presentation that lists and briefly discusses the "must read" IPSC/USPSA books and "must listen" IPSC/USPSA podcasts. After making this video I stumbled onto the "Banging Brass Podcast" on YT. Don't forget to check it out. I also added a brief section on which national/international shooters to follow on YT. There are more interesting Subscriptions on my YT-Channel. Let me know in the Comments below which books, podcasts and shooters inspire(d) you!

Mine just came in. Disappointed it didn’t fit my Tacoma upper, but at least it does fit my JP upper. I’ll report when I get to try it at the range.
Indeed, the DDC does not fit all uppers. Looking forward to your feedback.

Very interesting concept. I've been working on watching the RO and trying to figure out when they hit the start signal. Fortunately I haven't started before the beep but I'm getting close to hitting the magic mark. Lots of practice.
Stay persistent!

I found your post through a search for 'Reaction Times'... The video is very helpful... Especially for Steel Challenge shooters where the cadence for multiple strings is fixed.
The author also has many interesting posts... Thanks for the link!
Thanks!

I’ve shot my Czechmate for over 5 years with no problems. Just regular cleaning and a snake through the bore after each shoot. I had 2 Czechmates for couple of years as a backup,but never used it. I go to events every weekend and see a lot of problems with other open guns. I’m sure there are a lot of other good guns. But it sure seems like some of them are really high maintenance. Do your home before buying! Having a gun that spends more time in for tuning than on the range shooting is not good! Beware of guns that have lots of bling! JD
You're right. I also clean and lube my open guns after every training and match. So far, no issues with any of them.

I also recommend to check out the Bul Armory Open Race Guns: the SAS2 Ultimate Racer and/or the SAS 2 Bullesteros, both in 9mm. They come out of the box, ready to shoot. Price/quality = good and high value, certainly when compared to the custom race guns. In fact, if you're serious about competing in open, I recommend 2 race guns, 1 for training (and back up) and 1 for matches.
