Tactical Timmy

I guess im going to have to start practicing my reloads from other pouches for a change.

How are they shooting open over there? I don't even think I own a 10rd only mag for any of my guns.

Are there going to be matches around that time in March?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhwbxEfy7fg Probably should watch this one without the kids around

Should be mandatory ! Be careful with fluids or soupy things, like beans, while viewing. Is there going to be a test that will have to pass before we are allowed to shoot the match?

HAHA thats funny. I have actually said that before.

Looks like I am going to need to watch the movie also.

Exactly where are you seeing the results, I must be missing them. I just found it at uspsa.org under the match results tab. Click the tab to list major matches and click the L-10/open tab.

Started A in open 3 years ago. Made M a year later and have very very slowy moving up in M.

Well there should be about 6 or 7 of us coming from NE Ohio. Glad to see we will be having a Sectional in 11. Especially since we had such a good time at the Buckeye Challenge.

Does anyone know if the news story from the match was run?

Matt, Great match, great stages, great staff. Thanks again

Ive got 3 going in the mail tomorow.

Mike, Every other saturday between our USPSA matches we shoot Defensive Pistol. It's basically IDPA but we are not allowed to call it IDPA. There is a calender on our website www.midwestgunclub.com. Our next defensive pistol match is this saturday. It starts at 7 and is $10.

There are 6 of us coming down from my club.I don't know if I can get any more but I will try at our match this saturday. Adam

U.S. charges 22 with bribery involving arms sales Tue Jan 19, 2010 5:03pm EST http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN...pe=marketsNews By Dan Margolies and Jeremy Pelofsky WASHINGTON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - An executive for Smith & Wesson Holding Corp (SWHC.O) and 21 others have been charged with violating federal bribery laws involving the sale of weapons and protective gear, the U.S. Justice Department said on Tuesday. The indictments accused the individuals, including Smith & Wesson Vice President for Sales Amaro Goncalves, with violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and conspiracy to commit money laundering involving the sale of items including guns and body armor. The FCPA prohibits the payment of bribes to foreign officials in order to secure business contracts. The Federal Bureau of Investigation set up sting operations that ensnared the 22 individuals on charges that they tried to bribe a purported African defense minister to win contracts. Twenty-one of the men were arrested in Las Vegas, where they were attending the SHOT Show, a large shooting-sports and hunting convention. The 22nd defendant was arrested in Miami. "This is one case where what happens in Vegas didn't stay in Vegas," Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer said at a news conference. The indictments, returned on Dec. 11, were unsealed by a U.S. judge on Tuesday in U.S. district court in Washington. Among those charged was the chief executive of Protective Products of America Inc (PPA.TO), R. Patrick Caldwell, who previously worked for the U.S. Secret Service for 27 years and was in charge of the division for the vice president's protection. An attempt to reach Protective Products was not immediately successful. Protective Products filed for bankruptcy protection last week and sought approval to be acquired by an affiliate of the private investment firm Sun Capital Partners Inc. A representative for Smith & Wesson was not immediately available for comment. Most of the defendants were expected to be arraigned later on Tuesday in Las Vegas. STING OPERATION As part of the FBI sting operation, an unidentified business associate who was a former executive for an arms manufacturer arranged a meeting between the arms sales representatives and undercover FBI agents who posed as representatives of an African country's minister of defense. The agents told the sales representatives that in order to win a contract, they had to add a 20 percent "commission" to price quotes, half of which would go to the purported minister of defense and the rest would be split between the others. In the case of the Smith & Wesson executive, Goncalves gave price quotes for two sales, a small one of 25 guns and a larger one with 1,800 pistols. He gave two price quotes for the transactions, including one that had its price inflated by 20 percent, the Justice Department said. The two-and-a-half-year-long investigation involved 250 FBI agents, according to Mark Mendelsohn, deputy chief of the Justice Department's fraud division. In connection with the indictments, 150 agents executed 14 search warrants across the country and British police executed another seven, Justice Department officials said. Three of the defendants worked for unnamed British companies; another worked for an unnamed Israeli company, according to the indictments. The defendants sought to obtain contracts for the sale of products ranging from grenade and tear gas launchers to pistols, ammunition and explosive detection kits. Breuer said the investigation was the largest action ever undertaken by the Justice Department against individuals in an FCPA case. He also said it marked the department's first large-scale use of undercover techniques in an FCPA investigation. "We're steadily pushing this unacceptable practice out of the business playbook by prosecuting companies and individuals who ignore the law, as well as by working with our international counterparts in their efforts to prevent and prosecute foreign bribery," Breuer said. He said the Justice Department currently has 140 open FCPA investigations. Kevin Perkins, assistant director of the FBI's criminal investigative division, said 20 agents were working on FCPA cases full time. The cases are in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Nos. 09-335 through 09-350. (Reporting by Dan Margolies and Jeremy Pelofsky, editing by Gerald E. McCormick and Tim Dobbyn)

There are 6 of us from NE ohio planning on making the trip.

I like Tactical Tailor and Blackhawk for reasonably priced rigs. Eclipse makes a great rig also, good tear away features and super high quality. PM me, I might have something for you.

Well after alot of testing we think we fixed the problem. First thing that was causing the extraction issue was that the extractor was slightly curved upwards and was hitting the barrel knocking the empty case loose. Secondly I replaced the ejector with a tuned Brazos ejector. With those two things changed eveything seems to be better. So far I have shot 4 matches and put a couple thousand through it and 0 jams. Keeping my fingers crossed!

OOPS, im not used to using that word when referring to the Govt.

I had to renew my CCW permit this week. When i turned in all my paperwork they told me 2 weeks. It actually only took 1 day. I have never heard of anything with the govt happening that fast NICE

Could the grip be out of spec? I am running the same grip from the first gun on this one. Other then that I have changed everything else(mags, ammo, gun) the grip is the only constant between the few. i have ordered a new grip. So we will see....
