    Hey guys. I didn't want to make another thread just for this, so Ill try here. I went to last month's regular steel match at CJRPC. I forgot to get a right off saying I participated in it. I plan on going to next weeks match. Is there anyway I could get a right off for BOTH matches? If you guys could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

     

    Are you trying to get your draw and fire badge for the club. I just printed out the last three matches scores I went to and brought them to the BOD meeting with my name highlighted and showed them to John the club president and got my badge. If you are concerned and want to get sign offs print out last months scores and bring them to Rich at this months shoot and I would think

    he would sign off. maybe show up a little early and help set up I am sure that would make him more likely plus they are short people and could always use a hand :)

    I didn't think too much into it. Thanks for setting me straight. If I'm going to dry fire practice, I drop the mag and eject the round from the chamber. I practice with the mag out of the gun. when I'm done, rather than push the round into the mag that's pretty full and a pain to push, Id drop the round into the chamber, ease the slide down and seat the mag. I didn't realize I was doing harm.

     

    My 9mm semi is a Ruger P95.

    From the Ruger P95 Manual:

    TO LOAD AND FIRE (WITHOUT MAGAZINE)

    In the event that the magazine is missing or for training purposes (where it is desirable that only one cartridge be loaded and fired at a time for safety), the pistol can be fired with the magazine removed. To do so, keep the pistol pointed

    in a safe direction, engage the safety (lever fully down, white dot and letter “S” exposed), grasp the slide, and retract it fully to the rear. Next, push the slide stop upward so that the slide remains to the rear. Insert a single cartridge directly and fully into the chamber. Taking care to keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction, depress the slide stop. This will cause the slide to move vigorously forward into the firing position. WARNING: The pistol is ready for instant use in the single-action mode once the slide moves forward and the safety is disengaged.

     

    The Ruger P95 is designed to fire without a magazine in case of loss and doesn't have a mag disconnect. Why would the manual explicitly say this is a function if it would cause harm?

     

    It seems there are controlled feed guns that dropping the slide would do damage and ones like yours that are not controlled feed. Kinda line a bolt gun that the round slips into slots in the face of the bolt ( controlled feed) and others that just catch the rim of the cartridge as the the bolt is closed (push feed). If the manual states it's ok then do it if it says not too dont

    What are the details of this? Does the OBRPC crew shoot this? Is it basically he same set up as old bridge?

     

    Youth shooters OK?? Cost per gun?

     

    We might give this a try, gotta look at where CJ is. Might be a little far.

    Normally it would be the same as OB but this is a special rim fire only match. It is usally 3 dollars per gun for members 8 dollars per gun for non. I am not sure what this match is going to be like as it says on cjsteel tO bring extra ammo and you might need to reload during the stage. I was looking at some ruger rim fire steel stages and they had up to 8 plates in sOme stages so I am thinking it might be like that. As far as youths I have seen kids shooting so I don't think

    It will be a problem as long as they are safe.
