Although neither has ever happened to me. I've missed my holster a few times. It happens! If placing my pistol on the table will help me win matches I better try it. Actually, I did SDQ myself when I tried setting my pistol on the table and it broke the 170, I'm a quick learner, didn't try that again. The TO didn't see it, however I did and called it on myself. Personally, I'll take my chances on holstering.
The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Pistols have a funny habit of pivoting on the cylinder when they're placed on a flat surface and with not much mass, will turn right around and say hi. I've seen it with rifles on a hasty restaging and a slight table bump; no way I'm taking that chance with a pistol. I'm not opposed to others doing it (but beeeee careful) , it's just not for me. When I see folks doing it, it just screams "GAMER". For you non-subtle types, that's sarcasm, as in LOL, yuck-yuck and all that. Do what ya want, just be safe about it and don't cheat.
Captain Bill Burt Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Good points. If you ever see me running my hand over the surface of a table on a stage where pistols are last you’ll know I’m checking the texture and thinking about exactly that.
The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Watched one of our very seasoned shooters bounce a rifle right off the table on restaging at the TN State match. Be careful...
