motosapiens Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Why don't we just ban all the forum members who can't stop themselves from reading threads they don't want to read? We can protect them from themselves without infringing on anyone else's right to have a worthless but funny discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Not a fan. I'm more interested in being sure the gun is clear and getting to the scoring. It's a time waster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured this thread was a ghost town on account of the thousands of fatalities from detonating rounds. Sometimes if I feel like I especially want to live on the edge I flip and lock the slide back in one motion so I can catch the round and have it locked back for the RO. I need to step up my game, clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louu Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I just got my first Glock and it doesn't flip them nearly as high as my trusty ol 1911. I'm seriously thinking about selling it just for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Not a fan. I'm more interested in being sure the gun is clear and getting to the scoring. It's a time waster... it takes less time than bending over to pick up a round. Not for the RO. For the RO it's fastest if you dump the mag, and retract and hold open the slide while presenting the gun..... Picking up your ejected round only adds time to the competitor......

Sleuth2 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I had a very experienced shooter who did a very showy 'flip and catch' every time - until the time he forgot to remove the magazine first! He would flip the round high up into the air, drop the hammer, and catch the round in his off hand. As RO, I saw there was another round in the mag, and yelled "NO", but he was in his groove, had an ND, and was required to leave the range. I understand that the detonations have all occurred with .40 S&W, and was one of the reasons for the switch to small pistol primers in the caliber. I have seen one, and it was not pretty - bloody, but not a serious wound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Not all with .40 A good shooting buddy took shrapnel in his nose when his .38 super detonated on extraction. Lots of blood, but no serious damage thankfully. Scared the crap out of the RO and shooter, though. My flipping days were over after seeing that. Just wondering - Does Superman Jerry flip and catch his moons at UL&SC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Oh so glad this thread is getting some action!!! Hey, I can flip, holster, then catch! i would think that with just a little practice you could flip the round in the air, show the RO an empty chamber, holster, do a 360 in place ( like in rymthic gymnastics), catch the round in your teeth and finish with a nice sweeping bow & exit the range stage right ...hmmmmm .... I might need to add this to my dry fire routine as it's starting to get a little stale ... I'll have to move outside though as the ceiling in my garage is not high enough ...

deerassassin22 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I used to do this up until 2weeks ago when I personally watched a guy unload and show clear and BOOM!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ND stands for Negative Dude, because they are normally pretty bummed after their gun Negligently Discharges and are asked to leave the range Edited March 6, 2015 by nitrohuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkreutz Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I tried to learn how to do it. Guess I'm not coordinated enough . Figured I should spend my time practicing things that will actually help my shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel1212 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 A DQ does not mean you have to leave the range, just that you can't compete in that match anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooldylocks Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Obviously, but I feel like the DQ was the obvious point being made. Not that he actually HAD to leave the range. Read for the meaning of the sentence, not just the words themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yes and sarge was asking about the leaving the range part. Read the words and gain the meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 A good sport will stay and help paste and set steel. A buddy of mine had to DQ a shooter last weekend on the first stage and while upset at first, he apologized later and stayed to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
