Maybe the MD should call them 'yard mines'. If you step on one you must drag that foot for the remainder of the stage to simulate trying to scrape the dogshit off your shoe. Tell me scraping a yard mine off you shoe is not practical, and something you have never done.

...........or, you could just use more powder.

Are you talking about that area at the end of the primer slide with the radius, next to the main ram? My 550 is 11yrs old and is like that.

I've heard it twice. First time, the shooter swept everyone uprange while unslinging his rifle. This was some outlaw 3g match. Everyone said 'big boy rules' so it's all OK. Next time I heard the term was 3GNation. A competitor sent one down range at unload & show clear. No DQ because big boy rules 3GNation (& television). I voted option 3 - no one got shot.

Eliminating rules of this nature would go a long way in reducing the size of the rule book.

In other words....15 rounds isn't silly - the current trend of USPSA 8 round arrays is silly.

It's a 'Get on with it' stick. After checking the chamber 3 times at LAMR, she pokes you in the back of the head and says.....

I have pretty much the same thing. 3yr old Stag 3G. 1-6 scope, Benny-Cooley comp, offset iron sights, and a Luth-AR stock from a prize table.

I have a VooDoo Tactical 46" padded case. I think it was ~$100.

Hope this is not too late to stop you. I have a FF3 on mu P-09 and it is now on my Turkey. I hated the shape of the lens, the dust cover the automatic setting. Just be warned that if you have it in auto mode it will turn off 80 % of the time after the second or third stage. I just installed a doctor sight and have fired 300 rounds through it. it is freakin awesome. I was ready to scrap the whole idea of CO but with this sight I feel I can start to get better instead of worrying about equipment issues. My .02, My wife and I have been using Doctor sights for about 18 months, they are great. Hard to believe it is not the GO -TO dot for CO Not hard to believe at all. You can buy 2 FF3's for the price of 1 Docter.

I'm confused. You mean you run all your cases through once just to size and deprime, and then you run them all through again to prime, charge, seat, and crimp? It's a 550 (4 stations) not a 1050. Run through to size/deprime/trim Tumble (they were lubed for sizing) Swage on Super 600 Run through to prime/charge/seat/crimp. Guys with 650's do more or less the same.

I put mine in Station #3 and removed the pin. I run a standard sizing/decapping die in Station #1. I use a casefeeder on my 550, ... my loading toolhead has Station #1 empty - just prime there.

The rule book is clear as to what you can/can not do in any division. Who said a Shadow is not Prod legal?

IPSC has already gone there.

The WSB just needs to state that all mags start on the table and that all reloads must come from the table.

I think the reason to keep it a provisional division for the year was to allow rule changes without waiting two years. I'm having my slide milled. Should the rules change and the need arises, I'll change slide to be Prod legal again. Guys that put $$ into rigs for the first version still have CO legal rigs. I'll also be using the gun in 3gun Stealth at RSSC.

Why not? Other than overall height, is there much of a difference between the STS2 and the RTS2? I was looking for something with a smaller profile ... Anyone have a Doctor? zhunter uses Docter on his CZ P09.

Yea, the news came out today. That's why all the CO threads are alive again. Probably a day or two before everything gets updated.

Optical/electronic sights are "permitted", not required. Re-read the first post - entirely.

I gave mine to Stuart at CZC today.

Is your 1911 DA/SA? Is your 1911 on the Production/Carry Optics Approved Gun List?

USPSA NEWS Board approves changes to the provisional Carry Optics Division USPSA continues to embrace the evolution in firearms technology and innovation. Numerous handgun manufacturers are now offering optics-ready platforms. The recent SHOT Show displayed more optics-ready carry guns than ever before. Custom gunsmiths often upgrade these factory offerings with front cocking serrations, cosmetic cuts, stippled grips, undercut trigger guards, buried optics and co-witnessed sights. In July of 2015, USPSA announced the provisional Carry Optics Division. During the past few months, the provisional division has exhibited slow but steady growth. The members interested in this division have spoken, and the USPSA Board of Directors has listened. The division will remain provisional, but for the remainder of 2016 will have some new opportunities. The changes for Carry Optics Division will make it truly unique from other divisions, and will include: Authorization for all levels of USPSA and Steel Challenge Expanded stippling, contouring and texturing of the grip frame to include undercut trigger guard and grip reduction Expanded slide profiles to include serrations and cosmetic cuts not completely through the slide Increased weight limit of 45 ounces, including optic and empty magazine, allowing more pistols to compete Required use of a slide-mounted optic, prohibiting guns without an optic. The next review of the provisional Carry Optics Division is scheduled for late January 2017. Please note that making some of the changes now allowed in the provisional Carry Optics Division will render your handgun illegal for Production Division. A new appendix has been added to the online rulebook to aid shooters and match officials with the changes. -USPSA President Mike Foley and USPSA Board of Directors

I had mine done by L&M Precision (http://www.landmprecisiongunworks.com/). Mark did really good work and had very good communications answering some questions I had beforehand. I just shipped him the slide/RMR in a USPS flat rate box, had it back within 2 weeks. There are a bunch of places in the valley that do slide milling, but I haven't heard much about the quality of their work or seen reviews of them so didn't consider any of them. L&M was one of the first shops to start doing the RMR milling many years ago so he definitely knows what he's doing. The other place I was considering was ATEi (http://ateiguns.com/), I've also heard great things about them. pm sent.

I had mine milled. Although I was already interested in doing this before Carry Optics existed so when it came about that pushed me over the edge to finally get it done. Mine co-witness. Not being an Open shooter it helps a lot finding the dot. Especially with stuff like weak handed shooting. Who did the milling? What it someone in the Phx area?
