Mr.Stu

But if they are all wheel gunners like you we'll be there until Tuesday!

Bob, Have you let Ken and Dan know that you're drumming up shooters? Its just as well that there were a whole bunch of new SO's made a couple of weeks ago.

Pretty much every manufacturer says their warrantee is void if you use reloaded ammo, but that is a liability thing rather than function. Glock do not recommend lead bullets in their barrels because of lead build-up in their super-duper polygonal rifling possibly causing an over pressure situation. This is one of the reasons I got a KKM barrel for my 35. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

If you are using the mag release on the left side (normal for right handed shooting) you can use gen 3 for sure. Earlier may work too. If you have turned the mag release around for left handed shooting you will need gen 4 mags. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Chambering is one thing, being safe to fire is another. .38 Special is all the same physical size regardless of whether it is +P, +P+, or regular. They will all fit in the same chamber. I would be amazed if Ruger says it is OK to fire +P+. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

This is good advice. In IDPA I was taught that to go fast I needed to slow down my splits slightly, but make them even across multiple targets. Rather than bang-bang-----bang-bang-----bang-bang it should be bang--bang--bang--bang--bang--bang. Believe it or not, this is noticably faster overall.

I'll be there this month. The wife might even let me out early enough to help set up. Lenny and Ken put on a good match. Ken's stages can be somewhat challenging though. Has anyone been up there this week? What's the ground like for frozen stuff? Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

It depends what your current skill level is and what your objectives are. What you need to practice for bullseye will be different to what you need to work on for one of the action sports. If you are brand new to shooting work on your fundamentals - they are called fundamentals for a reason. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I wonder if Ruger and/or S&W would be willing to say anything about the warrenty registrations they get with respect to existing or new customers. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I'm thinking the timing of this suggests that they are unlikely grant the AG's request in Peruta. What's your opinion?

Could it be that swimmers in the pool can see up under your concealment garment and you're not so CCW any more?

If it was stored in the box the whole time out will probably be fine. The issue will be UV degradation of the nylon. However, if there it's some kind of accident 3 years from now where the integrity of the webbing is questioned you won't have a leg to stand on. I'd call the manufacturer to get it sorted out.

If you get the 41 you can use it in all three divisions. You said you reload so you could work up a 185gn load for SSP & ESP (not sure a 230gn bullet would work too well that slow). The only thing you need to check it's the grip size. The 41 has the same size grip as the 20 & 21 and some people find it too blocklike. The 34 & 35 have the same grip as the 17 & 22 Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

The rule book is available at www.idpa.com. It has all the divisions' rules in the equipment section. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I forgot to mention, the length of your arm will change the relative proportions of the sights so that it's another factor which causes variations between shooters. Stu Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

In my opinion until you get down to really short barrels the length has marginal effect on accuracy. However, as mentioned above it does have alot to do with sight radius - longer being easier to align accurately. There is a more important aspect too, which is the relative sizes of the front sight and rear sight when viewed from the shooting position. If there is too little space either side of the front sight when viewed through the notch of the rear sight - I have seen extreme cases where I could see no space at all! - it is very hard to center the front sight. Similarly, if the front is very narrow and the rear very wide it can become harder to make the amount of light either side equal as well as aligning the tops becomes harder the wider the gaps become. A third aspect is the width of the front sight compared with your aiming mark on the target. If your sight picture has a very small aiming mark and a wide front sight, centering the sight on the target gets harder. Typically, a narrower front sight will make it easier to place precise shots, but if it is so small you cannot see it properly it will be detrimental for you, but not necessarily others. Once you have the front sight right for you, the rear sight needs to be selected to give you the right amount of light for your eyes to see easily both the horizontal spacing and the vertical alignment. We also all have different eyes, so what works for one will not necessarily be ideal for another. We all have to find our "Goldilocks" sights to achieve our best accuracy.

It depends on the division you are shooting in. SSP & ESP div capacity is 10 so to load 10+1, put 11 in your first mag and 10 in the rest. CDP div capacity is 8. With my 13 round mags for my XD I load 9 in the first and 8 in the reloads on my belt. With a single stack you will almost always need to load a Barney round. The only exception I can think of is a 1911 where you are using 7 round mags but have an 8 rounder for your initial load. SSR & ESR is 6 even if you have a 7 shot revolver Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

At the start of most stages you have to load to division capacity. This means as many as allowed by your division plus on in the chamber. With a 1911 .45 in the CDP division this will mean 8+1. Your Barney mag holds the +1. Procedure: insert mag with 1 round into gun and track the slide to chamber this round. Remove the now empty mag and replace with a full 8-round mag. The mag with 1 round is known as a Barney mag as a tribute to Barney Fife who was only allowed 1 bullet for his gun. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

To quote our Match Director, there are three priorities: Be safe Have fun Shoot well ...in that order. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Great! You'll spot me easily enough - I'll be the British guy reading the stage descriptions and shooting an XD-45.

Wouldn't it be simpler and safety to leave it holstered on your person while in the house until bedtime? The more times you load/unload/holster the greater the chance of a fumble and a ND. Also you seem to assume you won't need it at home - trouble does not occur only on the street. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I can't be sure what you think but it's probably worse than that. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2
