IDPA at Austin Rifle Club tomorrow, I'll be out there.
Have fun, I don't do IDPA.
Same. Really, REALLY wanted to play with the SLP... I mean, I didn't take a Dremel to a brand new $1100 shotgun for nothing. Did I?
What did you dremel? Open up the feed port a bit? Cut down the sharp edges on the loading gate? There is always next month. Or Impact Zone in a couple weeks.
I started small, and just moved the hand guard forward a bit, since it was flush with the front of the feed port and was kind of in the way. I'm seriously thinking about radiusing the front of the feed port for a smoother transition into the magazine, but that's a bit bigger decision than just cutting back a little plastic...
I haven't really had any trouble with the sharp edges on the lifter. My thumb is just too big to get caught, but I still took a small file and knocked some of the sharpness down just in case.
Regularly scheduled matches will resume in June.

Not that it affects me but I believe Carruth's quote addresses that.No word on the 4th Saturday 2gun. As to whether it will be cancelled, "possibly". So please keep tuned in.
I thought the same thing until I had blood dripping down my arm and it hurt like hell every time I had to load a round after the first shotgun stage at 2011 TXMG. I sent the control package to a guy to get it cut down and rounded out. It makes a big difference.
I am going to be working on widening the actual feed ramp a bit one day when I get bored.
We'll see how it goes, but all the loading drills I've done, haven't had a problem. The only time I did have a problem was when I shot skeet with it (hehehe) and wanted to make sure my second shot was seated in the magazine... with my finger. Almost got me. Next time, I'll remember that the shell can fall out and ride on the lifter and it doesn't matter... And not to stick a finger into the loading port, thumbs only.
Yeah I will just say from experience that I never want a sharp loading gate near my thumb when I am on the timer and trying to do everything at like 120% speed.
That is what I figured...not an unusual mod, and very helpful. I didn't use to catch my thumb often, but when I did it was..memorable...

We're having a 2 gun match this Saturday at BOTW this Saturday...without
fail. Apologies for last weekend but it was much needed family time with
Jacob. He had a great birthday, thanks everyone for understanding. Expect
five stages with approximate round counts at 100 rifle and 100 pistol.
Setup starts at 8am and the shooting starts at 10am. We need help with
setup so come and join us for a great match. Hope to see you out there.
And looks like there will be a 2-gun this Saturday:
Lee
I'll be there! I need to run the "little fella" carbine some before the NRA TPC match down here the following weekend, so look for the guy with the 10.5" Noveske. They don't allow "competition" equipment at the TPC matches...
Or, if it gets cancelled again, I can shoot IDPA again. It's all trigger time!
