From what I've read, the revolution holster is injection molded plastic. The IDPA version is basically their OWB holster and is made of kydex. Either version will work well for many years to come. If you are looking for a holster for a popular gun, you can find an equally good deal or better deal elsewhere. I've ordered holsters from them directly for holsters not readily in stock elsewhere (PPQ when it first came out, CZ Shadow). They've made ones for me in a relatively short amount of time. This would be a great coupon for those instances.

If you are looking for mags, WC is having a 20% off sale on the 47D mags. http://shopwilsoncombat.com/Wilson-Combat-47D-1911-Magazine-45-ACP-Full-Size-8-Round-Standard-Base-Pad/productinfo/47D/

If you are interested in accuracy, I would suggest a White Oak Armament. They make the barrels up to 26" match grade Wilson blanks and a headspaced bolt carrier group. They are designed for the High Power Rifle Competition market. Match this with a heavier grain bullet and you should be able to go past 600 yards with no issue. http://www.whiteoakarmament.com/xcart/home.php?cat=259 Just to note that they are not taking orders for service rifle uppers but are taking orders for match and varmint uppers. You can then mate it to any off the shelf lower. The only other thing I suggest is a good trigger. Glass is another entirely different issue and can cost as much as the entire rifle itself.

Minimum caliber is 9mm. They may make an exception but I'm not sure. I would drive up and plan to shoot. It's fun and very addicting. I rarely shoot at in stationary ports unless I need to test something or work on specific skills. As for the distances, they are not that bad at Shongum. I think less than 25 ft seems to be the normal although they could surprise you. I think at Old Bridge, there were targets out over 100 ft. What are you other options? I may have some gear that I can bring along. As for capacity, you can go as fast or slow as you want. Since it's your first time, just take your time.

I just loaded my first rounds last night. I'm loading for USPSA matches for my competition gun so my loads are on the light side. I'm interested in seeing what they do also but I did not go to the range today.

Personally, I don't really want to know. I'm afraid if I do, I'd stop buying stuff. I think I did attempt to figure out the price tag of one build that I do not shoot much anymore. I was going to sell it but in the end I did not. It is almost $2500 with optics. It's not a crazy build as it is a Spikes 14.5 upper that by itself was $700. I'm not even factoring all the parts that were constantly being swapped on and off.

Check out this Dawson link. It includes pictures of patridge and ramped front sights. I had this same thought pop up in my head a few months back. I went with the patridge as I was only going to use it in USPSA. Ramped sights will have less chance to snag but it seems there is little impact to sight picture. The angle for patridge didn't seem as extreme as the picture though. http://www.dawsonprecision.com/images/Sights%20Catalog%202011%20LR.pdf

Serial #1 is always special, especially when it bears your own company's logo.

Thanks Ty for the continued effort. I'm looking forward to this.

It depends on the town. Best bet is to call them and ask. I've dropped mine off a few days before they expire. They usually call me in a few days to let me know that it has been extended.

I'm going also and I'm bringing my brother who's also a first timer. Just listen to briefing provided by Vlad and you should be good. Also, as you step up, just let the RO know that you are new. They will assist you as you go thru the stages. Don't rush and have fun. You will definitely be hooked.

Trigger job and other mods are not necessary day 1. Just go out and shoot it. The RO is a perfect platform to start with. I got to shoot the RO that Twong tuned. It runs great with no hiccups. Will it run just as well without the mods? Most likely but the tune up by Twong make it a bit better. Regardless, the RO is great bang for the buck.

I've shot at Old Bridge and Shongum. I always wanted to try CJ though I'm on the fence about going. Are walk on allowed if I decide last minute?

What time do you guys stay until?

Nice, it looks like time well spent.

Topher, I just dropped off my 300BLK build with Rick to pin the brake on. He mentioned your build and I told him I saw pics here. I have a larger order of reman supersonic stuff coming in (as well as some subs). If you want, I can drop off some with Rick and you can grab them from him if you are looking for some supersonic loads.

I'd love to order some but that seems a bit pricey for Mecgar magazines. Are these new manufacture as I thought they discontinued the 15 rounders?

Strange, the SA looks pretty short. I guess the SRTS is even shorter then. What's the trigger pull weight on that?

Does that have the SRTS installed?

Selection is VERY limited. POF, LWRC, PRI, JP and Midwest Industries. I'd say the best deals are most likely the Midwest Industries if you are looking for a good deal on handguards. The complete rifles by POF or LWRC may be good deals but I rarely buy a complete rifle. I'd rather build my own. Below is a link: https://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop%2Fbrowse&category=sale Basically anything that says "COUPON CODE" is eligible for the coupon.

I'm not sure if this is an issue but I found this. The only bias is that the person has not fired a round to confirm if this is an issue or not. It may not be an issue after a few rounds but it's interesting that he states the bolt face is slightly oval. http://youtu.be/DxIpE5Iwr6g

Same here. I ran my PPQ for a year in USPSA. We do reloads with rounds in there all the time. No issues. ROs occasionally freak out as they think your finger is still in the trigger so I usually warn them in advance. I've switched off to another gun in USPSA so I've gone back to my thumb hitting the release but I think the paddle release is very intuitive.

There is a video about some potential issues with the bolt and ejecting the rounds. The video is from someone who has not fired it yet though so I'm wondering if it would even be an issue. The actual process of ejecting the rounds happens with way more force but I think that the bolt may not be 100% in spec. For range use, it may not be a problem. For HD, I would not bank on it. Hopefully, someone who owns an AIM BCG can comment.

I know AIM is sort of in the doghouse here with the whole AR lowers not shipping to NJ. I mulled on not posting this but I feel that this is a good deal and I know there are people out there trying to complete their builds. http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=XAIMNiBBCGV2

Forgot to mention that they are having a sale on certain Wilson Combat magazines. Great time to stock up on the 47D. http://www.midwayusa.com/find?promotionid=1071734
