Sarge Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'm so happy to see this thread get some action After a break from uspsa I am so glad to come back and see the same old rubbish! I was thinking the same thing the other day. I'll bet a guy could leave this forum for 5 years and come back and see the exact same questions and debates. I think everything has probably been discussed a hundred times. Only the names seem to change with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everything has probably been discussed a hundred times. Only the names seem to change with time. So true. It never gets old seeing someone post with such authority how this is " not allowed in this or that area, discipline, etc" only to have someone else shut em down with the facts a couple posts later. At least a half dozen of those in this thread. Good times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janskis Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 newbie question: What is this flip and catch? I let the gun eject the round and I grab it from the air like a boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI5-O Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Had to DQ a shooter yesterday because he swept his hand with the muzzle while trying to catch the round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teros135 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Yep, that's probably the risk to F&C - match self-immolation by not watching the muzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ming the Merciless Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'm waiting for someone to do the NINJA flip & catch (similar to the NINJA load). ie. drop the magazine, and cycle the gun one handed with a sudden fore & aft motion ejecting the chambered round and catching the ejected round.

jtrump Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I roll it out into m hand slowly, in .40 if you rack that round out using a federal primer and it just so happens to hit that extractor just right you get a boom, and it will hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhall Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Well.... I might as well post here too. Since everyone else did. My name is Mike...I know Mike...get it Mike. I am a flipper. I'm a lefty Probably M class because I'm about 90% flipping. I'm an A class shooter. You other leftys need more practice if you can't flip. The gun tosses the round toward your free hand! I shoot a 2011 in .40 but that's not why I flip. Its just easier to flip than dig through the sand and gravel to get my round back. I'm fine if it does hit the ground, and pretty much everyone else is fine too. Its a live round, not a grenade. Not to say that things might happen, but we all accept some level of risk when we get in our cars, drive on the open road, play a game where we run with loaded guns, shooting them as fast as we can (within reason), all for the entertainment of us and our buddies. If we were so concerned about flying debris, we wouldn't shoot steel, we would clear the berms of any rocks or other hard surfaces, we would wear plate carriers with body armor, and carry riot shields when we weren't shooting.

LuckyDucky Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I pull my slide back from the rear and lock it back at the same time. Then I catch the boolit and the slide is already back for the RO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Moneypenny Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I've been doing it for years.... fat guy bending over in front of people takes time, and looking for the loaded round is lame and time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kungfurabbit Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) I just let the peanut gallery deal with watching the fat guy pick up the live ammo.
