  1. CZCustom SP01 Shadow Black 2014 $1300 - http://czcustom.com/shadowcustom2014blk.aspx

    CZCustom SP01 ACCU Shadow Black $1665 - http://czcustom.com/cz75sp01accushadow.aspx

    I'm not sure what you see?

    You forgot the Accu Shadow BLK $1850. This is what the OP was looking at.

    I didn't forget anything. The OP was talking about $550 more for a bushing...BUT...he was looking at the gun with the match barrel and the bushing, and comparing it to the model with neither.

  2. In 1976, I bought a NRA Life membership. I knew it was good for me at that time. When I joined USPSA in 2000, I started buying three years at a time. At that time, i don't remember if Life was offered but it would have been worth it to me in the long run but not now.

    It is different for everyone depending on age, cash availability, and whether you think you will break even or stop shooting before you do.

    The only problem with the NRA Life Membership is the lifetime of daily phones calls asking for more money. My blocked call list is now longer than my contact list.

  3. Guys, his scenario is very plausible to have without even coming close to a DQ. Think of a wall area with a port through it, two targets could be at the edge of the wall so I have to go to the wall edge to shoot them, and have their backs inside the port area, easily visible and be well down range.

    There's no need to go on a DQ march on this because how you visualize the question makes it not feasible.

    ...but the OP said they had to reach around, not that each side was visible from up range because the target was perpendicular to the back stop.

  4. How do you reach around a wall and shoot a target through the back without breaking 180? I don't think there is any scoring issue on a DQ.

    easy if the target is placed at an angle (like many targets are).

    What angle (in degrees) are we talking about? Anything off the 180 far enough to be shot from the back can not safely be shot from the front. Please explain.

  5. I load .223 on my 550 with casefeeder.

    I decap/size all brass in my RCBS Rockchucker. I then use my Frankford Arsenal trimmer to trim to length & chamfer, and to ream out any crimped primer pockets. (Hornady small reamer)

    I used a Dremel on my spare 9mm (green) casefeed adapter.

    Station 1 has a 40cal sizing die (decapper removed) as a guide, just to keep brass upright during up/down stroke. Primers are pressed in here. By sizing/decapping in a separate press there was no need to modify the cam.

    Station 2 is powder

    Station 3 is seating die

    Station 4 is a Lee crimp die.

    The only extra cost was the small rifle plate for the casefeeder.

  6. 124gr Frontier Plated Bullets

    4.1gr Titegroup

    OAL 1.100"

    Win Primers

    Mixed Brass

    Brass lands 10'-12' to my right

  7. On a side note I ALWAYS cringe when folks get the load and make ready with their ARs and they jam in a magazine and drop the bolt with the rifle pointing up at 45 degrees. I ALWAYS point it at the berm, and make a note to tell the R.O. that the safety is on and my finger is straight before I drop it. Remember a slam fire doesn't make you go home but a round leaving the berm does.....and where does it go?

    Thank you for that reminder.

  8. This reminds me of Star Wars Episode IV when Luke uses the force over the targeting computer. Knowing when to do certain actions based on feel will always be faster than a computer telling you what to do and then reacting to that prompt.

  9. There are approx 24000 shooters in the USPSA database

    Open - 18000

    Limited - 13500

    L10 - 17900

    SS - 19300

    Prod - 15600

    Revo - 22000

    I'd say there are a few that shoot multiple disciplines.

    I when back and checked that chart.. you're including all the 'U' shooters. while some are really unclassified, that number added to the classified numbers = 23,522 - for all divisions

    the larger the number the less shooters there are in that division

    I shoot all but Open

    But when you add up all of the classified numbers you get 34588. So 50% of the membership is classified in at least 2 divisions. How many have shot other divisions but are not classified?

  10. I can see a bunch of useful circumstances, especially in training. Imagine you can get a script to download replicating Max, Eric, Dave, etc...prior stage run. Steps, reloads, positions, etc. Never have to even step onto the course and you can run the stage in real time...talk about programming a stage...

    If there is a spot you have to hit, color changes to yellow 3 steps out, red on step out and the target gets circled. If you shoot 3Gun, on those bug hunts through the woods...every target could be scripted and indicated...heck if you run by one, and it takes too much time to go back, just skip it, but if it saves you time...back up Jack. Just a tad of thinking outside the box, yes, I can see some real benefits in certain circumstances on some stage types.

    USPSA has been at the forefront of technological advances in handgun platforms as well as accessories. Just have to get them in the right division to start with. I have not read the rules related to this topic, but there will likely have to be some interpretations made and maybe even some new rules to address the divisional differences.

    I think it will be cool to see what folks come up with, especially given what has happened with the technology in just the past few years.

    Isn't this what the 35yr olds living in moms basement are doing with their PS3's and X-boxes?
