If I can't stay on the range and the range doesn't have a recommended or partnered campground, I will try to find the closest state or national park.
If no state or national park, I'll start looking for local campgrounds.
I haven't found a lot of military campgrounds near the shoots I've attended.

Not to mention, piranha are not nearly as aggressive as certain horror movies have made them out to be.
But, as said, they'd probably die in short order in a shocked swimming pool. The chlorine kind or the electrical kind of shocked. 😎

I have a french press and a cheap drip brand as backups, but this is what I use all the time.
Same here, but I also have a percolator.
Love my Bunn having coffee ready in 3-4 minutes.

My first ship was the first LST of the new class, LST 1179, USS NEWPORT. Commissioned 01NOV1966. Decommissioned 01OCT1992.
I can only imagine how the WW2 LSTs fared in heavy weather.

I'll take three. Please PM info.

Most tactical belts are a "Tell". Not for me.
But when you still work in that kind of world, it's great to have a comfortable option.

I have multiple Bullhide and Kore belts
I wear the Kore belts much more often. I have one in leather and one in nylon.

I have handled a PSA AR-9 pistol with brace. The trigger was horrible. I could not run the gun fast because I was not letting the trigger completely reset before I tried to fire another round. This was remedied with a PSA drop-in trigger. I probably put 200 rounds through the PSA AR-9 pistol with no failure to feeds or failure to fires/eject. The PSA AR-9 does not have a last round, bolt hold open capability.
I personally prefer the Ruger PC Carbine show above. There are several versions available now. Last round, bolt hold open. Can move the non-reciprocating bolt handle to the left side or leave it on the right. Decent trigger.
Both use Glock mags.

SHB p. 13
If no starting position is given, the shooter shall stand upright with revolvers holstered, hands at the sides and not touching any firearm. (SASS default).
If varying from this, the stage instructions should tell you what to do.
If stage instructions do not specify for a shooter's hands to be doing something specific (both hands on gun/touching hat/touching table), shooter should default to SASS default.
If stage scenario says shooter is to start at position A facing downrange, SASS default is how the shooter should stand while at position A waiting for the beep to begin.

In the example cited, the poster stated that the shooter only fired one round on t2 before moving to t3.
Apparently someone saw that "P" (he didn't say who) which resulted in the unfired round in the first revolver.
It's up to the TO to determine WHY that 5th round was unfired and make the correct call.Beartrap is not the OP and nothing has been said that he is referencing the OPs scenario. I agree with your assessment of Beartraps scenario.
In the OPs scenario - no one noticed only 9 rounds being fired and no one saw a procedural.
OP only wanted to call a procedural because an unfired round was discovered in a revolver at the unloading table.

It's been hot, humid and raining almost every day down here, about 40 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico.
~90°F -100°F stick temp with heat index 110°F - 120°F last week.
It's currently still 87°F with 77% humidity at 6:30 PM.

The weather was wonderful. Mostly the mid 70's and sunny.
I feel quite assured that it won't be the next time we come up. Mid to upper 80s with a chance of hail...

I'll take both sets pending PM.

Does anyone know if these will fit a 1st generation Colt?

I've driven up from the MS Gulf Coast three times to shoot that match and wish I could drive up every year.
I love how much room they have for movement.

They're all nope-ropes according to the wife.
There are no such things as good snakes to her.
I'll not go out of my way to kill any of them but I'm not going out of my way to let a poisonous one live, either.

My favorite shirts are from Inter American Trading Company.
Style 5303C - Color Puffy Sleeve Wedding Shirt, 100% Pima Cotton.
Inter-American Trading Co is a wholesaler. I bought my shirts through a SASS vendor many years ago and they have all held up well. If I could find another vendor with these shirts I might be tempted to buy one or two. Unfortunately, I can't find an online vendor.

I have found the cooler cowboy shirts don't work really well down here with very high humidity and little to no wind,
I've been wearing 100% cotton shirts.
Like Jerry Reed said - when it's hot it's hot.

I have someone interested in starting reloading on a budget and also just getting into CAS (meaning he's going to be looking for guns and leather as well).
Is the LEE Classic 4-hole turret press robust enough to turn the turret after each operation and hold up? Use it like a semi-progressive (Dillon 550) but instead of turning the cartridges, turn the dies? Or is using it this way going to cause problems really fast with wear & tear?
The other option I was thinking of was the Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic single-stage press. It's a little more expensive but the Lock-N-Load bushings would make changing dies easier.

You've already received the answer I would've given for cleaning. That said. this is one of the reasons I went with Dillon dies. Pull a pin and the seating stem drops right out. Clean it and put it back in, reseat the pin and your setting never changes.

Could freshwater fish live in a swimming pool?
in SASS Wire Saloon

Not for long.
There are only a handful of fish that can transition from fresh-to-saltwater and vice versa. Most can only do so for short periods of time and that is dependent on the salinity.
One exception I'm aware of is the Bull shark. It is commonly found as far inland as Lake Okeechobee and has no problems living in fresh water.
