weedwhacker Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I have been joining the masses when it comes to grip stippling. And have found a pattern and technique that ressembles "sand paper" or "grip tape"... I ran out of guns I can practice on, so I moved on to my Surefire G2Z Stippling the tail cap really allows a firm grip, both during shooting and while removing/turning on from the pouch. The shaft I on the fence about. However it looks "nice" IMO.. Will be giving this a try at S&W Indoor Nationals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Koski Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 WW: Looks nice. At the indoor nationals, what are the rules for flashlight placement? Do they have to be in a pouch? pocket? concealed? open? Thanks, Koski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weedwhacker Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 what are the rules for flashlight placement? Do they have to be in a pouch? pocket? concealed? open? I do not know the COF for 2012. The starting position could be just about anything form on your person to in a nightstand. For placement on your body Im sure a debate could be had, however a fairly recent article in the Tactical Journal comments that flashlights are a commonly open carried item on a daily basis. And sugest concealment is not required for flashlights. Pouches and pockets are the most common method of carry in a match. No doubt it will come down to the stage description and how the SO views the rule book and how the stage is written. I plan on focusing on the shooting aspect of the match and look forward to a good time:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Koski Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 So there is no general match-wide rule about flashlights? Just specifics for each stage? Are you doing those small dots with a small soldering iron tip or something similar? Ok. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weedwhacker Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 YEs using a ultra small soldering iron tip... Took about 1hour to do it under the microscope... I did the same texture on my M&P and love it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1911 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) So there is no general match-wide rule about flashlights? Just specifics for each stage? There's no limitation in the IDPA rule book about where you can have your flashlight (other than not having a weapon-mounted light). The stage designer may (or may not) require a particular starting position for the flashlight. Typically, the stage either requires it to be out on a prop (e.g., a table) or on your body (e.g., in a holder on your belt, in a pocket, etc.), with nothing more specific than that.
