I started this thread b/c I have some Wolf 9mm steel cased ammo. I see nothing on the box that says the projectile has steel in it. Does anyone know if that Wolf ammo has steel in the bullet? If there is no steel in the bullet, then it's safe to shoot in a match on steel? Thanks

I'm traveling in May to Nashville and was wondering if there are any public, indoor ranges that rent handguns near downtown Nashville. Have a free night to shoot. Thanks

Not sure if this is the right place for this post. What is the best practice for clearing a light strike? Does it matter if it's the first shot of a stage? During the middle of the stage? Noobie here. Thanks

Not the test...but why a projectile that stuck to a magnet was bad. And the answer seems to be that means the projectile has some steel and can do crazy things when it hits steel.

Last sentence of 5.5.3.

Sorry for the dumb question but the rules say you can use steel cased ammo if the projectile won't stick to a magnet. Why does it matter whether it sticks? If it sticks, it may be too hard and could ricochet off any steel? Thanks

The proverbial punch in the face.

How is a stage scored when there is a squib issue?

Rule 5.7.2.1 I believe says after the start signal, if you suspect a squib round, you can't clear it b/c you will be DQ'd. Am I correct? If so, what does one do when they believe they have a squib? Thanks

Sorry for the silly question but what is the best way to get the trigger tab safety out of the way in order to get a legit pull on a gauge? My gauge has a has trouble depressing the tab. Just use some tape to “close” the tab? Thanks

Anyone ever shoot this stuff? Is it fairly clean or total dirt? Thx

Can't say I disagree.

Well......I don't reload and only have 500 rounds of factory 9mm left and I'm not going to pay the current prices to get more. I will have to dry fire a lot, a real lot.

I'm only at an indoor range so movement stuff is a no bueno.

Thanks. Where did you find that info?

I've looked around but didn't find what size piece of paper the 50 shot dot torture test is done on. 8.5 x 11? 8.5 x 14? Thanks

Thanks much

I'm newish to USPSA and only have access to an indoor range. I'm getting low on 9mm ammo so when I shoot, it's 50 rounds per session. What would you suggest as the best training session bang for the ammo buck? I typically start my session shooting at a 3" circle at 5 yards, then 7 or 10 yards. Slow fire. 10 rounds at each distance. I may then shoot the rest of the mags from say high ready one shot at a time. Thanks

What's the general consensus for how long the Talon's will stay on the grip before they start to peel off? Thanks

Thanks for the input. I'm 59 just for context. I have a Gen 5 G34 with a Romeo Max 3. Only owned it a few months and have less than 2,000 rounds through it. My index is utter crap....I don't have one yet. At five yards I was getting sub 1 second hits but I sure as hell wasn't seeing a red dot. I was basically point shooting. I'm not saying that's good or bad, it's just that being a relatively new shooter, I think I should really first learn how to shoot using the dot. Then when that is second nature, good old point shooting and just relying on a consistent index with my arm position will be what I strive for at certain distances.

I have one book from both and that's why I did this drill. To isolate just that part of the draw. I didn't say it, but the drill was live fire. At 8 yards, I was averaging 1.3 to 1.5 seconds and that's just rubbish.

I’m aware that lots of folks want to get near a 1 second draw. That being said, what is a realistic par time goal for a new USPSA shooter for the following? 8 yards Gun is hovering near right hip (right handed shooter) with support hand in chop position under trigger guard. Not sure what you would call this starting position. At beep, bring gun up and fire one shot into A zone.

Ultra trail runs or orienteering or kayaking or SUPing.

Anyone have any issues running either of those springs in their Gen 5 G34 and shooting factory 115g, 124g or 147g ammo? I have a JG trigger kit installed too. Thanks

58 years old and typically wear a 3.25 power contact in my right (dominant eye) for reading and a 1.50 power in my left for distance. Neither close or far is crystal clear so it's a compromise. And I have an astigmatism. With those contacts, the dot in my Romeo3 Max looks like a bunch of grapes but I can still shoot ok. It's better when I ditch the contacts and wear a pair of 1.75 cheaters. Can't read very well but the target gets clear and the red dot gets clear.
