There was a USPSA Front Site article on this issue and a mod. Most certainly referenced someplace on this forum on where to modify. I have done this mod and used the uplula mag loader hundreds of times with my gen 2 STI mags.
if I find the reference, I will post it. A search of the entire site would also produce it.

Does the rocker stick if you take the primer stack assembly off?

No spacer, but make sure and order the correct follower. I used the 38super follower kit.

Spacers, not so much with gen 2's. Gen 1 mags, yes. Two entirely different designs. As TRPOperator said above, thousands and thousands of 9mm through my gen 2's without a problem and without spacers. Once they were tuned.
Now with all that said, if spacers make your mags work, why not? But once properly tuned you do not need them for gen 2's. Do what ever works.

Go out to YouTube and look for the video from Atlas Gunworks. They show how the body is not correctly tapered and show how to fix it. While out there, look at the rest of their mag tuning and troubleshooting videos. Great stuff.

One club here in Wisconsin that I will only shoot one match a year at, their points series match, has a rule if you use any swear words, you get dq'! Have not heard it happen, but like stated, I will not go their but for one match. The group I shoot with will not go either.

Less than 1%. I am using an EGW undersized die. I also sort out all stepped and CBC brass ahead of time. There is another thread about the CBC brass you should search for and read.

How is it holding up
Looks as good as the day I received it back. Have about 5,000 rounds down the pipe.

Primarymachine.com does black Nitride. Was a forum dealer at one time. They did my CK grip. Very happy with the results.

HI5-0,
i had had the same experience as you. Gen 2 required the 3G pads to fit the gauge.

Just out of curiosity, could you post to this thread the entire stage procedure. I would be curious to see if it contains wording regarding the penalties that will be assessed.
I fully understand "Virginia" count scoring. And agree with others on penalties and the question of not going to the RM. just curious if Penalties were written in specifically.

Phil,
The best and easiest way to find out in my opinion is to shoot them both and compare them side by side.
i will let you take my CK for a test drive and check with Glen, but I bet he will let you try his STI.
Then you you can compare them side by side.
FVPS match is on 10/6. Glen and I will be there.
Others will come along with why one over the other. Listen to what they have to say. Then shoot em and decide for yourself.

Hello,
i sent my grip to a Enos forum vendor. Primary Machine. They did a fantastic job. Great turnaround time as well.

I do not know, but am curious as well.
Similar question. Are security guards "Law enforcement"?
Seems to me arrest powers might come into play. Might be other things as well.
Cannot wait to see what people here think.

Thanks for the responses. It is just odd seeing it more now than in the last 13 years I have been participating in this game.

All,
Thoughts on this.
Lately, I have been seeing more and more competitors that do not have their belts through belt loops, or an inner belt through belt loops and the outer attached to the inner. Spoke to a match director about it and he states that the rules do not require this anymore with the latest update. I have the update:
5.2.3 Unless specified in the written stage briefing, the belt carrying the holster and allied
equipment must be worn during the course of fire; the belt must be worn at the waist
level, which is deemed to be at the same level as the original belt loops on the lower
garment. (See 5.2.3.1 for exceptions.) The belt or the inner belt or both must be either
securely fixed at the waist, or secured with a minimum of three belt loops. The belt may
be removed between courses of fire.Rewrote the rule to clarify belt wear and usage. Added definition of “securely fixed” to the
glossary.
Rule rewritten to define at the waist or waist level. Definition added to the glossary.5.2.3.1 Lady competitors are permitted to wear a belt, holster and allied equipment at hip
level, however, the top of the belt must not be positioned below the furthest lateral
point of the top of the femur (tuberosity major).My question for you that are smarter than me. Do you read the rules this way? That it is not longer required to have the belt through belt loops? I think it comes down the what does "Securely Fixed" at the waist mean.
According to the glossary:
Securely Fixed (belt): The belt doesn't move when either the gun or a magazine is drawn from it
without using both hands.Curious as to the thoughts of MD's, RM's, and generally everyone.
Thanks,
Mike

All,
The subject says it. I have one with no coating and I am trying to decide if I should get it coated. I like the way it looks on the gun without it being coated now. I am diligent about cleaning and maintaining my firearms. Just want to get opinions and suggestions.
Thanks,
Mike

I could be wrong, but I think the case feeder has a one year warranty. I would still call them for assistance and to verify I am right or wrong.

Rick called me today and I have one on the way as well. I am stooked to get it and set up.

My current rod is plastic covered - but there you need to take care not to get any grit stuck on the plastic.
Tipton makes a carbon fiber cleaning rod. Many different sizes and lengths. Tough as steel. I think one or two others make carbon rods as well. I just don't recall who off hand.

I have also loaded thousands without issue. But always very careful. My thoughts are to resize and deprime. Then seat them with a hand held device. Take the decap pin out and go to town. You could also resize and prime on a single stage press.
All this his does seem to take away from the usefulness of a great progressive press and it's functionality though. But I can understand wanting to take away any chance of detonating a stack.
