On a side note Federal's Primer packaging is crazy big.

Sounds good, much appreciated.

How Many DPPs? I keep seeing all these people recommending the Delta Point Pros, and I am like, "Sure. I will get right on that."

Seeing how the optic experiences two car wrecks with every shot of the gun, I am surprised they last as long as the do. Thanks for the info, looking forward to putting some Rounds on the X5 with the Romeo 3 Max on it.

I am sure this has been answered probably a couple of times somewhere in this forum. I did a quick search and could not find any Info through the search function. I cannot find any normal small pistol Primers. I purchased some Small Pistol Magnum primers and plan to run some batches of ammo using that. Practice ammo mostly. I was planning on dropping about 0.2 grains from my current 9mm load and work up. Was wondering if anyone else has done this and what to expect. Thank you in advance.

5000 Rounds does seem to be the go not go test for durability on a lot of optics as far as durability goes. On the 3R Maxs, are those direct mount or are the mounted on adapter plates?

What is you question exactly? The issue where the Max does not have a sun dot when the sun is Low? Or where the SRO does? I would say I have not really read this. I have heard it from Hwansik Kim on Stoeger's Podcast, and also from the ROMEO 3 Max vs SRO YouTube video. There is also another post on this forum where someone compared about a half dozen optics by pointing them all into the sun one right after the other to show you how the sun effects the optic. I have also personally experienced this. I have pointed the Max at the sun when its low in the horizon and have yet to see multiple dots. I have first hand experienced double dots with the SRO with the Sun low on the horizon (this was pointing into the sun). I have a friend who has the ROMEO 3 Max and has not mentioned any multiple dot issues. One of the reasons he switched from shooting SRO and switched due to the multiple dot issues. I love the SRO. It would seem its one of the most durable Optics on the market. I also don't want to run into the issue of multiple dots again. That issue will cost you from time to time at no fault of your own. My only hope is the Sig Romeo 3 optics are as durable as the SRO seems to be. We will see after this summer.

It would seem to be that way at the moment.

Thanks for the info. Nice collection of Optics there.

Curious to why anyone turns off their optic off once it is turned on during a match? Unless its a Holographic sight, the red dots seem to be very efficient on battery life.

I ran into this issue with the SRO. The sun was really low in the sky during it being winter and towards the end of the match. A big dot appeared after moving into a position. I realized after I fired the first shot, I was not using the correct dot. Took 1-2 seconds to find the correct dot and reshoot the target. I have done some digging and the Sig Romeo 3 Max and Sig Romeo XL seem to not have this issue from what I have read. I just purchased the Max, so I will be running that when things get back to normal. I will be testing the SRO versus the Max over the next summer. There is a pretty good comparison video on YouTube. SRO vs. Max.

I have two Legion TXG grips that have been stippled. 3 Golf Gunworks did the stippling, and has three different stippling options. He did mention it was a little harder to work on, but did not seem to mind. Everyone that has gripped the gun has been super impressed. With a grip that is so expensive, I would want to make sure you use someone that knows what they are doing.

Something I wish I would have done, is I knew the basic commands for Starting and completing a stage, or course of fire but I never practiced them before attending my first match. I wish I would have dry fired those more and created routines before showing up to my first match. Make sure you understand the commands that will be given to you. You can find them in the USPSA rule book. If you have questions you can find enough videos on YouTube of stages being shot to get the just of what the rule book is telling you the commands are and will be. Dry fire like you are going to start a stage and complete a stage. Create a routine for yourself. Especially for when you have completed a stage. If these become second nature by the time you attend your first match it will be less to process once you are there. Also treat your dry fire area like a stage, meaning create good safe gun handling skills while dry frying. Follow all the safety rules, don't break the 180. Until your "Routines" for making ready and completing a course of fire become common place, say all of the commands. Do not take short cuts on the commands. I only did this after attending a couple of matches. Once I made these things routines, only then did I stop dry firing them. I always treat me practice area as a range, meaning I do not ever break the 180 and follow all of the rules that would be expected at a match. Dry Fire, Dry Fire, and more Dry Fire. Take this time you have where you cannot go to the range to create good habits and good gun handling skills.

I didn't read all 5 pages but from what I did read. Unload and show clear in a safe manner. Practice this in dry fire and it becomes routine. I practiced 3-4 different routines until I found one that made the most sense to me and was safe. After you dry fire train this routine you don't even think about it anymore. If you choose the flip and catch method this also ensures you train yourself to not sweep the hand trying catch that rare bullet that flies forward of the gun when it is ejected.

Thanks for the link.

I heard on Ben Stoeger's Podcast where I think he said he turns the dot up in practice to make it harder to see the target. It makes him look through the dot to find the target and be target focused versus dot focused. It sounds counter intuitive, but at the same time if you think about it, wouldn't you look at the dot harder if you were turning the dot brightness down, and have the opposite effect you are looking for? Not saying to do this in competition but maybe try some different things out in practice, to work on being target focused.

What rubber bands are you talking about? I would like to get some.

Perfect Drill. I have been asking myself about timing a gun and how best to address this by previous drills I have seen. This will be the most efficient it would seem.
