Most brands run their own modified version of Android. Both, my current OPPO and my former SONY phone support that function. I don't know if it's also implemented on generic Android. I use it because I get a text message when my security system at home goes off and I wanted a designated sound for that (downloaded police sirens).

+1 for the RCBS lockout die! I use it for loading .45 Colt with 5.7-6.0 grns of VV N320 which is too little to see in the large case. Other cartridges like 9mm I just check by eye. Just trusting your powder dispenser is imho bad practice as nothing in this world functions 100.00% all the time.

I have two Huglu HRZs, one manufactured in 2018 and the other in 2020 I think. The first one is also very easy to cock out of the box while the second one sits unused in the safe waiting for some Dremel work on the springs... Congratulations to that wood, your stock looks fantastic!

I know of a couple of libraries of different sweeps with their different names etc. Is there such a thing available for ready conditions? Like in hands port arms Texas surrender ... Would be a great thing!

You find most clubs and matches on this site: https://www.casscoring.com/en There seem to be competitions in Philippsburg and Bocholt on that date. I will search the site a bit more when I am at the computer, it's kind of PITA on the phone... Hopefully, a german or austrian pard will chime in! Phil (from Switzerland)

OP stated that shooter was moving when the action closed and continuously moving while pulling the trigger: I really don't think that it's too much assuming that the shooter was (at least) walking all the time.

Maybe he would have caught it with an immediate stop, but "continuously moving" is IMHO changing the location and my call would be an SDQ for Changing location with a long gun with the action closed and the hammer cocked, SHB 27.6 p.23. Besides that, I can hardly believe that one foot was planted the whole time ("basketball travelling rule") from when the action closed until shooter realized it and pulled the trigger (because he probably wasn't expecting/waiting for the action to close). But if the timing was in fact so perfect that one foot was always on the ground between closing and hammer fall and you would consider that a no call, then you would technically also legalize shooting on the move which you could justify with the same rationale.

The photographer probably just asked to hold the blades horizontally?

Initially I was looking for a derringer in .45 Colt but then I stumbled across a used but really purty stainless steel American Derringer Model 1 chambered in .45 ACP. In hindsight I was lucky I went with that cartridge because it is way easier to come up with manageable reloads. I just use it for fun. If I strove for fast times at side matches I'd need to have the hammer spring a bit lightned. Bond Arms derringers somehow just do not look right to me. It may be the octagonal barrels or the size or the somewhat more modern look..?

Randy, your video is a good example why well timed and smooth cocking and trigger coordination can look like slip hammering to newer shooters. Great stage!

Perfect summary!!! Thank you, Creeker

I was looking for a small too with night sights and this SIG felt good in my hand and had considerably better trigger out of the box and more capacity than similar models from other brands (also reflected on the price tag...) I like the gun but do not shoot it that often. It's indeed a very slim pistol. The grip is quite small despite containing a double-stack mag. It comes with three different backstraps to fit your hand and I am using the thinnest one as I have small hands. I expect the grip to feel too small for a lot of men. My Derringer put aside, all my other handguns are heavy and big (cowboy wheel guns, 1911s, all steel Tanfos, Beretta 92) and the SIG is so far my only Tupperware pistol. So, I don't have much comparison regarding recoil. I just remember that I expected such a light gun to be snappier when I first shot it (115grn)! My exact model is the P365 XMacro Comp . But I guess it's only for the aesthetics and the compensating effect is neglectable as only the slide is ported (not the barrel) and a real compensator needs a lot of gas pressure to work properly. Real recoil comes down to physics and I wouldn't expect the P365 XMacro to act any different compared to a similar sized Glock as they have similar bore axis hights. But felt recoil is all about ergonomics, so a what feels good in your hand will have less felt recoil.

My Beretta fits my quite small hands surprisingly well, but I switched the trigger to one with a bit shorter reach (Wilson I guess) and also got an extended mag release button. As most 92s are double/single action, reaching the safety isn't an issue as you just don't use the thumb safety except for decocking. I used this gun when I started with IPSC (as it was what I had back then) and did quite well it. Sometimes when the starting condition was empty or empty chamber and i had to rack the slide I accidently engaged the safety. I even considered to change it to a decocker only therefore, but decided to go with more suitable heavier guns for the sport (shooting all steel Tanfos now). My Beretta never had a single malfunction! 17 rounds is the max. you get with a flush magazine base. I can fit 18 rounds in my Mec Gar mags but can only insert them with the slide open. Compared to my SIG P365XMacro (which also holds 17+1) it looks and feels huge! For me, the 92 is still a cool gun but also kind of outdated. Some more thoughts: I wouldn't want to carry a gun I enjoy on the range because they are huge and heavy and have light(er) triggers. I wouldn't enjoy shooting a striker fire pistol on the range (except maybe a Walther Q5 SF) Most bore axis on SIG striker fire pistols are IMHO unnecessary high or rather the beaver tail too low, which results in additional muzzle rise.

A german one: WENN FLIEGEN HINTER FLIEGEN FLIEGEN, FLIEGEN FLIEGEN FLIEGEN NACH. (When flies fly after flies, flies fly after flies.)

Following the miss flow chart: The shooter engaged and hit all targets with the right type of firearm -> no miss Shooting order was wrong -> P Competitive advantage achieved? -> No -> No further call And even if he had gained advantage: Done intentionally? -> No -> No further call If the shooting order is once messed up you cannot correct it anymore by shooting something again. Since it was a quite complicated shooting order the P might not be as severe as in a simpler/faster stage. But I guess we have to accept that some P's affect the result more than others, thats's just part of the game. And as there can be only one P assessed per stage (unlike in other shooring sports) there will always be discussions on what is appropriate continuation after a P was earned.
