Looks for Target

Looks for Target (4/11)

  1. Yes, I've been running this modification for a while now and it makes a big difference. Only thing is you do need to relube the o-ring with lanolin or some other type of heavy lube occasionally.
  2. Thanks for the update! As you said, yes they were available but not in the 3600 case which is what I prefer to order. I like to make USPS earn their pay. I could do as others suggested and go with the V1 version but the OCD in me won't let be change. No big deal, I can wait. I'll be watching!
  3. Here we go again...been waiting for weeks for the V2 124 JHPs have been out of stock. I'm on the list to be notified and check the website every morning and crickets. Hope they get going again.
  4. Bringing this thread back to life. I started using Practisim and really like it. It's a bit difficult to install and figure out how to use but well worth the time taken to figure it out. Just takes time and patience and the YouTube videos really help. I've been in contact with the developer and he has taken the time to add to the ICORE library of targets both moving and plain cardboard. It seems that it was originally and mainly developed for USPSA but as I said, the developer has been enthusiastic to include ICORE. Generating the Written Stage Briefings are really easy to use. Here is their website: https://www.practisimvr.com/ This is a whole library of YouTube videos on how to use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp2OE-AlIf0&list=PLgmbHng9jBREKl-ZQj-WdjUEHMMyufONX&ab_channel=AncientSkyGames
  5. I just started shooting ICORE in 2020 and really enjoy it. I shoot a 929 in Limited Division with a gun I bought in 2021. Since I plan on traveling more to ICORE matches I decided to buy another to have as a backup. I purchased a New/Old stock 929 and contacted S&W with the serial number and they told me it was manufactured in 2017. I was able to get my hands on it for a few minutes when it was delivered to my LGS and now waiting for the paperwork to come back from my Sheriff office to take possession of it. When I looked at it, the cylinder looked a bit different than the one I have now, almost like some type of coating on the chambers. Other than that it looked the same...as it should. Does anyone here know if I will find any differences in one that was manufactured that far back? I realize there shouldn't be any difference in them they since they are both the same model. I wonder when they started manufacturing the the 929. I'm just curious and can't wait to get my hands on it to do a full comparison. Thoughts? Thanks.
  6. What @Shred said. The 2011 platform is booming and Sig comes out with a 1911?
  7. Yea, with the latest manufacturing techniques, CAD and CAM, it's easy for the manufacturers to throw in a detail or two and catch the eye of people that like fancy stuff that basically just take a little more time to finish but with more expensive machinery. For me, coming from working in that environment for many years I like it to a point. But for me...it's the colors that turn me off. To each their own!

    P320 triggers

    I had two X5 Legions, started with Grey Guns Competition trigger systems in them. I tried the SA Competition trigger system in one and liked it much better and installed one in the other too. I liked the SA system much more. I did all of the installations myself.
  9. I remember seeing that option on the phone and setting it but can't remember exactly where and when it came up. When I get a chance I'll set it up and look for it and make a note.
  10. I don't even touch the unit after start it, just control it from my phone. If it's available you can't miss the Arm button on the phone, it's a long red button that says Arm or Disarm depending on which mode you're in. May be the Android version? Labradar just released the new firmware a few months ago and I updated mine. Wasn't that difficult. It really would be handy if Labradar would put out some instructions on the use of the app instead of users just pushing buttons to see what happens.
  11. I use the Android app and have been able to export data via an email file. Go to Settings pick Export data. When that page opens it says "No exported series". Up in the right hand corner pick the "+" sign and the list of series comes up. Pick the series you want to export and it creates a zip file of it and gives you options to export. Here I choose email and it attaches it to an email. I can also Arm and Disarm from my phone app and doing that starts another series too. I have to say I'm pretty happy with the new version of firmware they pushed for these units but seeing they came with a new unit I doubt there'll be any future support for this model. We'll see.
  12. I've met many and I'm one myself. Just looking at something different. I guess I'm not from the same mold as some of the cheapest revo shooters. They must have broken it somewhere along the line. Just enjoying the time I have left here. Think I'm going to stick with my 929 and Ruger Match Champion 10MM. The Ruger I can use in the new division ICORE opened up this year "Big 6". It's in the 2024 rule book that just came out. As a side note, I was mountain biking a while back at Moab UT and stayed at a small hotel in the back of town that had a sign up in the office that said "John Wayne slept here" with his picture and autograph. I was afraid to look under the bed!
  13. Thanks all for the input! I have an appreciation for quality German made products and don't mind paying the price in most cases but I need to see something at least a little more to make it work the extra. The YouTube reviews I see really build them up but to get this kind of feedback for what I'm intending to do with it is a big help.
  14. I've use their 124grain V2 JHP bullets and have noticed they've been out of stock for a while also. I put my email in the box where they will notify you when they are back in stock and and last week they were available for a short while. When you get the notice you need to act quick because they go fast.
  15. Thanks for this info, I'll look into it.
