boudreux Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I was having some mag problems at a local match a few days before a level 2 (Glock 35). Had a buddy that had some mags with different base pads (TTI vs my Dawson) that he wasn't using so I borrowed them. Well, his mags didn't seat in the gun as easily at mine did and 4 times during the match I didn't seat the mag and it fell out while I was shooting. Figured it cost me 8-10 seconds over the course of the match. Never will I do that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudreaux78 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Guilty of this and it cost me forty seconds on a par time stage. Double feed on my AR and both bullets made it into the locking lugs. Had to dig it out with my pocket knife. Argh don’t take untested equipment to a match, should’ve known better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had several failures this weekend due to filthy conditions... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Add always function test the clean equipment before the match!

Jakobi Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Half the time I'm only able to get my equipment to fail at a match so I just run it and hope for the best but only at Level 1 non-points matches. I won't take new gear to Level 2 or higher matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneexies Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It's tempting to want to run new equipment, but you most definitely need to run it before a match. We all figure it out one way or another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExStreetWalker Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Last month I took a new to me S&W 5906 to a match. I had never fired the pistol. I had just done a deep cleaning and lube on it. Went to an open bay before the match and got the sights dialed in. 20 rounds total through the gun now. Went on to shoot the match with the 5906. It was my first time shooting a DA/SA pistol. I lost a bit of time searching for the trigger at the beginning of each stage. I dropped on position from my normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
