Thanks for the info! And if anyone needs a sponsor, I wouldnt mind getting the 50 off my dues

I have been a member for around 12 years so my memory may be a little fuzzy but the strngly recomended but not required is ringing a bell and would be my bet on the current status.

What an interesting piece!

It would be news to me actually. I was unaware of a membership requirement.

The PS90 because killing Zombies is all about mag capacity. The DSA SA58c for all other threats.

Dont fear the auto

When I shot IPSC I used to do my reloading in sittings of roughly 500 rounds. I shot out my 1911 barrel. I replaced it. From the same batch of reloads my velocity went up a lot. So did the pressure. I had to back my load down a lot from where it was with the old barrel. I had always attributed it to old worn vs new tight.

I think Im going to have to try it. My first thought was it could easily do it even with a taper crimp having seen this happen enough times but now I want to try it. Testing methodology: Im thinking I'll break out the Mitutoyo and get an estimate of how much distance it would travel before contact between the two hard surfaces. Then I will position a round in front of my slide and a table at the same distance and let her fly. Hardly scientific, I know but it should give a rough idea. Hmmm, without even going out to the garage to get the calipers, id say there is easily 3/4 of an inch. Under an 18 or even a 16lb spring id say that sucker could easily get some serious momentum before contact.

"Those bullets shouldn't be pushing back into the cases!!!" Old school, are you saying that the ammo should be able to withstand the malfunction without being pushed in?

One other thought, are all the barrels stock glock polygon rifled barrels?

The G26 has a tighter bore creating higher velocity.

"It loads up if I use the slingshot method." CMC's are good. The indication to me that since it WILL load with the slingshot method is that your recoil spring may be a little light. I run wolf 18 pound springs. These issues can be compounded by improper extractor tension or a feed ramp thats shallow or the angle is off. Also a rough feed ramp can hurt the situation as well. Pull your slide off. Take an empty casing. Feed it up under the extractor. Turn the slide upside down and back. It shouldnt go anywhere. If it does your extractor tension is to little.

Best guess without hands on is that the rounds are nose diving a bit into the feed ramp when being stripped off the mag. What mags are they? Do you know what weight spring is in your pistol? Does it do it if you slingshot it instead of using the slide release? Hows the extractor tension?

Is this just for FID or purchase permits also? Not sure if this is a bad thing. It may make applications more consistant. Ive been in some towns that are great, others not so much.

Exactly right. And speaking of mafunctions the 1911 gets picked upon regulerly but at the last 4 matches I have attended which is roughly split 50/50 between 1911's and service pistols(Glock,Sig majority) I havent seen any 1911's go down. 1 Sig, 1 S&W revolver and 1 Glock went down with an unrecoverable failure. Sig was a broken extractor, glock was a sheered locking block. I think the revolver failure was that the firing pin pierced the primer and stuck locking up the revolver but I didnt get to examine that one. One should not put to much weight in my example though, the sample is to small so just take it as interesting info. What I mean by this is for example there has been 1 revolver at each of the last 4 matches and 1 failed but a 25% failure rate for revolvers would be very misleading. Out of my own equipment I did have an issue that induced a failure drill once at a recent match. I suspected it was a T&E mag. I was able to reproduce the failure in practice confirming it was the mag. Needless to say it is now my administrative load mag :roll:

As already stated there is a lot of variables. Some of which you may never know. Was it bad form, was it bad ammo or mag? Did you drag the slide of your auto on the barrier while shooting? So make sure you perform those malf drills! Heres the real question in my mind. How many continuous rounds? I have had some convo's with Pat Rogers on the subject as well as several other trainers. They contend that any POS AR can usually squeak out range session after range session with low round counts and never show a malf. Those same guns fail regulerly when doing say a 1200 round carbine class.

IMHO, I'd suggest real legal council on this one. Im not sure what you are legally required to disclose about the period you were a minor.

Are you implying I won the window licker on the short bus award

Um the title had me believing I missed out on something entirely different :twisted:

Had a great time! Great shooting guys. I'll squad up with you guys anytime! Shooting fun, couple new friends, a great day! Shooting imressions on the differences in the rifles/optics I brought: PS90, great gun, easy as heck to shoot due to low recoil but was SERIOUSLY impeded by the stock optics on it. Ditch that SS optic for an Aimpoint M3/M4 or T1 and it would have easily been faster than the other two rifles for the CQB style course of fire. Robarm XCR with an ACOG TA33H-G. This rifle has easily become my favorite rifle. I admit when I first got it I was less than happy with the break in. Now that its broken in and running great, it rocks! The location of the bolt release made lock back reloads super fast. The optic is fantastic. I was really curious to see what I would be giving up to an aimpoint in a CQB scenario with a magnified optic. At least in this course of fire it was negligable. However, if there was a greater emphasis on transitioning from target to target, the gap may have been a little wider but after today, I speculate it might not be very much. Bushmaster AR15 Carbine with an Aimpoint M3 in my mount. Some say Bushmaster has slipped in recent years but this old girl still runs up front. I have had this Bushy for a looong time and she simply never fails me. As for the aimpoint and my mount, I found it slightly edged out the Acog in pure speed. It was a little tricky transitioning between three different platforms. I felt if I had concentrated on this one more, the gap between it and the ACOG would have likely been a little wider. In my mount I tried very hard to put the irons as low as possible to keep as much of the Aimpoint optic uncluttered as possible but still give a full irons sight picture if needed. When running the gun, I didnt even notice the irons which is what I was after. Aside from my junk the other shooters shot very well! And Ron showed us all what doin your own THANG is all about! Pulling out that double barrel was classic! Ive never been into the old school stuff but I find the history of it is proving to be a big attraction! And its nice to see real wood in a firearm now and then I still cant tell who won LOL Shane

NJ, I dont like Muzle loaders either(ive had one for 10 years, its still unfired lol)...but I dont think I would make the statement they are worthless. I can appreciate another mans venue even if I dont prefer it myself. I dont like benchrest either but...they can do some amazing things and those guns are purdy . On the XBox live thing, play a little Call of Duty, you will be a convert :twisted:

The 1911 is pure junk, JUNK I SAY. As a public service please send all 1911's to me. I know, I know its ok, I'll take 1 for the team . For me its the trigger that sets it apart. Now of course there are MORE accurate pistols out there but... Im just not interested in them at this time. http://www.champchoice.com/prod-HAMMERL ... -3532.aspx

Im in a bit of a twist on what to bring myself. I was going to bring a bunch of different things but thought better of bringing out a bunch and having to worry about keeping track of everything. So I cut it way down to bringing an AR with my Aimpoint mount, my XCR with the Acog, the PS90 and the Mossy. I might not bring the PS90 even. How much time can be saved with only a 5 shot string???
