What is the Latin phrase the lawyers use..."Mea Culpa?" Yes...I'm guilty. When I sat down at my bench and really, really looked at the parts I realized that I had inadvertly installed an AR15 bolt hold-back in the 15-22. Putting the correct part back in solved the problem. When will I learn to not w...

Thanks for responding. That's not the problem: I'm kinda' OCD about cleaning weapons. The failure is confined only...and only...to the last round of every mag. I believe the problem is caused somehow by the bolt hold open mechanism...but for the life of me I don't see the problem. I've learned to ex...

M&P 15-22 Failure to fire
The last round in my mags (six OEM 25-rounders) will chamber, but will not fire. The firing pin is not hitting the round though the hammer is released and down. When the charging handle is pulled back, the un-fired round will extract and the bolt will hold back. Again, after 24 rounds of perfect cha...

IDPA rules
Greener, There was a total revision of the IDPA rule book, so there are quite a few. A couple of examples: The shooter can no longer dry-fire, practice draws, or practice reloads in the safe area. The shooter can reload only while standing flat-footed. Several mandatory restrictions on where and how...

new IDPA rules
I've shot USPSA for over 25 years and IDPA for about seven years. I've never concerned myself about the different philosophies, different approaches, and different rules. Participation in IDPA was just another day to enjoy shooting, competition, and good company. Recently the IDPA rules were changed...

The Ruger is a pistol set up for my 9-year old granddaughter to participate. My pistol of choice is normally a CZ97...which is a 45ACP.
Boy, this thread has wandered.
Whatever...good shooting.

OM SuperSenior class starts at 62 years old...just whippersnappers. OM you're never too old. When I was in my 50's, I could win; when I was in my 60's, I was a contender; when I got to my 70's, I became a pretender; now, I'm a survivor. But, still running (well...maybe walking fast) and gunning. Mos...

Many thanks to Bullseye for helping this computer illiterate to post the pictures in my previous message. You can cut the tail of the "G" somewhat shorter and let it rest behind the hump on the lever. Thus avoiding cutting the notch in the lever. Before I made this one out of a scavenged piece of a...

Just one example: Approaching the edge of a wall from the left; Three targets with several no-shoots partially shielding them; First target engaged with a center mass double-tap; Second target lower and required crouching while "slicing the pie" toward the left...double-tap center mass again; Third ...

Gangsta/homeboy
OM, The 22/45 Lite that my 9-year old granddaughter uses to participate in the local IDPA and steel matches is the pistol with which I set up for her. So, my experience with rimfire is limited to it. Junior competitors are allowed to compete with equipment that is outside adult requirements. Of cour...

True enough...if you are standing still and holding the pistol vertically (eg, Bullseye, steel challenge, plinking.) Bu t, begin with a rapid draw from a holstered weapon; start running around; perform a rapid reload; get in some awkward shooting positions; have the pistol in other than vertical pos...

slingshot fix
Gotta' a feeling that I may be providing some information on how to reinvent the wheel: This is too simple not to have been done before. Sorry about the absence of pix...don't know how and too lazy to learn. Old dog and all that. Hope the description will suffice. After removing the detent and sprin...

Stork BTW, thought I might amplify the comment about cleaning the chamber and bolt/chamber interface. After each match or practice session I field strip the pistols (yeah, now I have two) and use a 6mm bronze brush chucked in a hand drill dipped in Hoppe's. Run it only in the chamber at moderate spe...
