Supermoto Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I do a little flip. the round lands where the slide is pulled back to. All I have to do is open my hand. I only do it in practice, for some reason I don't ever do it in a match. Probably because I don't have to show anyone a clear gun in practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCOShooter Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I have never heard of this being a no go in IDPA, but I also don't flip the gun to catch my round...(its kinda hard to do that as a lefty) I just tilt the gun over when I am racking the slide so the round falls into my hand.

Nimitz Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) The old training scars debate.So are you just not familiar with how the brain works to learn a skill or do you not believe the science?BTW, I was told by all the Space Shuttle astronauts I trained for 4 years that the earth is indeed round, becuase you see, they have been up in space and seen it. Of course, I haven't been there yet to see it for myself so I don't really believe them. In fact, I have been plying the world's oceans for over 20 years offshore fishing as a licensed Coast Guard captain and all I ever see is that the world is flat, so you see, How could they be right ..... Just saying ... Edited September 24, 2014 by Nimitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying ... What are you carrying on about? I was commenting on the guys joking about it getting you killed in the street. I'm not sure whether you're trying to joke back, or if you're actually trying to present yourself as arrogant and rude- but I assure you that you're missing something here.

redwoods Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 The safest and easiest way to...as the title says "Ammo Catching @ Match" is to shoot left handed, as I do. At ULSC, I keep the gun pointed down range with elbow at 90 degree angle (just above hips) Take my support/weak hand and rack the slide Reach to the right side, where the round was ejected and attempt to catch it. (90% catch rate) Then go back and move slide to rear again to show clear I never have to flip the gun, the gun never moves I keep it parallel to ground and pointed down range My support/weak hand never goes in front of the barrel, only to where the gun naturally ejects the round The round would have no way of detonating on the ejector, since the gun is designed to be racked that way. I don't drop the slide when I rack it, I ride it. I put the round in my pocket or in a mag after I am holstered. FINALLY AN ADVANTAGE TO BEING LEFT HANDED!!!

Randy yes, the gun is designed to be racked that way. but not with a still loaded round in the chamber. think about it. covering the ejection port with your hand to catch the round is not great. I have a left handed shooter that I shoot with who does the same thing. makes me cringe. pulling the slide to eject the round up and out and then catching it is no problem. cover the ejection port as you are pulling a live round out of the chamber? not for me.

FTDMFR Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I think we can we all agree that the safest thing to do is to wait until your time has been recorded and then send the round into the berm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nik Habicht Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I think we can we all agree that the safest thing to do is to wait until your time has been recorded and then send the round into the berm. You're free to do that now -- but the time of that round fired into the berm would be your last shot recorded..... You could always do a mag dump into the last target, or drop the mag after the first round, then fire the chambered round.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwoods Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I never cover the ejection port with my hand when I do this. My hand is about 1-2 feet away from the gun when I catch the round. If the round goes off, my hand is on the back of the slide as it is being racked. My hand goes from the back serrations to the far right side to catch the round after it flies to the right from being ejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
