Why is everybody so brainwashed for the box? In a few posts people have said modify the box or make the box bigger to accommodate optics. What is the point of a box if your solution to a problem is to increase the size of the box? What size is an IPSC Production box?
-
I bought the 21" rather than the 24" because it was in stock at the time of purchase.
The 21" with the +4 extension fits in the safe and in the 46" VooDoo bag - the 24" would not.
All those technical swing weight/shot pattern/recoil answers are all BS..........

NOT SURE WHAT THE DISTANCE FROM BASE OF MAGWELL TO BOTTOM OF MAGAZINE BASE PAD ACCOMPLISHES.
Item 7 in the current Production Rules provides for a box that the gun and magazine must fit into. I think the objective was to prevent extended base pads on the magazines. A box won't work for Prod/Optics so I changed Item 7 to measure how much the magazine extends past the grip. This prevents extra length base pads being used to aid in reloading. It keeps Prod/Optics inline with the 'spirit' of the existing Production Rules.
I don't think that's what the box was intended to do at all. I think the box was intended to constrain choice -- and under current rules if someone wants to shoot a mini-blaster with full size mags, they can -- as long as it fits in the box.....
A long mag going into a standard size gun isn't an aid to reloading.
The box also limits us in other ways -- the G-17L/24 or other large blasters are too big to fit.....
On the topic of mags the current rules work well, because everything goes. And why can't we have a box for PO -- that's perhaps a bit taller to accommodate the sights? Dropping something in a box is easier than measuring mags.....
Are the G17L/24 on the approved list. If not, no box is necessary. If yes, no box is necessary. Other divisions don't have an 'approved gun list' - they need a box.

Why?NO WEIGHT LIMIT
This opens PO up to tungsten GR, heavy base pads, etc. there is no way this new division could have no weight limit
Who cares?
It's all within that division, again, with all due respect, this is the kind of stuff I'm trying to get people to let go of. None of these points matter. It is all within one division.
People are carrying Production Optic Guns, these guns have slide mounted optics and some are milled in the slide. Some might have tungsten rods, weighted base pads, etc...............
But I tell you, USPSA will figure out the best setup (generally) in short order, and that's the point, that's what USPSA does, it's the grind house. It will be figured out.
The point is to start it as simple as possible. If Billy Cool wants to run a tungsten guide rod in his production optic Glock 17, who really gives a fat baby crap? I don't.
You shouldn't either.
What are these guys carrying? Isn't USPSA the proving ground? Haven't we always enjoyed the reputation of pushing the envelope?
Why does everyone want to weigh It down and saddle an experiment with all kinds of rules.?
KISS
Quoted for truth.

Why do we need a box if the gun is on the list? Why do weight it if it's on the list? Now that JA is gone, maybe Prod Div rules can be brought back to normal (what ever that is).

I just put the factory rubber grips on my SP01 shadow - now the gun doesn't spin in my hand.

Can you post the stages for the Multi-gun on the 12th.
Thanks.
-
Were can I find the results from the match?
If you shot the match the results should have been emailed to you. I don't see them anywhere on the Rio Practical website.
-
Stage 5, targets #7 & #8 (right side of walkway heading north) position barrels/targets to avioid 180* traps when/if shooter is transitioning from left to right.
-
I counted 11 classic targets on stage 1, not 10.
-
I'd say it's the difference in the grip angle. I've never been a fan of the 'points to the sky' Glock grip angle. You've trained yourself to point lower with the Glock, this is why your CZ (with a "normal" grip angle) is hitting low.
-
A little off topic but, is your friend aware of the paperwork, registration, and fees required to temporarily import a restricted firearm into Canada? Handguns fall into the 'Restricted' category. He must contact the RCMP for the forms.
-
You can always shorten the post and the drop tube.
-
The only two things preventing the rules from making any sense are JA & VP.
-
If you listen to the video, he talks about loading 7 'legally'. It's a Canadian video - the only place ghost loading is still relevant due to federal laws.

I went with the MecGar 16rd from Greg Cote (x8)
Ghost pouches from CZC (x6)
BladeTech DOH from CZC

Different load?
Clean it recently?

The Nordic barrels have some design features that improve accuracy, reliability and soften the recoil impulse...
Could you explain this a little more, for others that may be comparing barrels. What do the Nordics have that the Stag/Wilson/others don't?
-
I just put the light in my 550. Maybe I got a bad one, cuz I'm not impressed with the amount of, or lack of light I get. It's no where near as bright as the pic posted by beanie-bean.

Just signed up. Thanks for heads up here, I don't always remember to check the club calendar for future events.
Could you clarify the following rule:
2.2 Rifles may only be handled and/or displayed in a designated safety area.Prior to the start of a match (any match), competitors have been known to uncase a rifle and/or shotgun in the parking lot and place it into their gun cart/caddy. At days end, the rifle and/or shotgun are returned to the vehicle in the same manner. Is this an acceptable practice at RSSC?

Of the 350 competitors in a major match, 300 of us don't expect the prize table to cover our expenses. Of the 300, 275 of us wouldn't know the MD or RM if we were squadded with them.
Just the opinion of a guy that is willing to pay hundreds in match fees just to shoot a major match once or twice a year.

I'm not trying to create anything, and I know what is being discussed here. My question is - why the infatuation with 'the box'? What purpose does it serve if a gun is already on the Prod Div approved list?
