No MD here, but I was shooting competitively quite a bit indoors (now I shoot mostly outdoors for a variety of reasons). We have had several people with extremely high lead levels. Supposedly lead poisoning of shooters results not from handling ammo, not from reloading, but from breathing fumes at indoor ranges. I recently got my lead level checked, and it was 12 micrograms/deciliter. Some of our guys registered over 40.

I don't even consider it an affliction.

After shooting a friend's gun, I would consider a 2.5 lb. Vanek trigger kit in a Glock a radical modification for IDPA.

Not sure yet; last year, we had shotgun start--start wherever you want, shoot whenever you want, with anybody you want. I like this way better than squading, but different MDs do different things.

Depends on the stages and the match director. Many stages involve shooting targets in the open on the move. Others allow for a variety of ways to shoot the stage; the shooter just has to figure out which one is best for him, and sometimes discovers an even better way to shoot it in the process. Most IDPA guns are close to stock, but rarely bone stock. Some are radically modified.

same here

I am cross-eye dominant, but don't consider it a problem. I assume you mean you are right-handed and left-eye dominant. I shoot left handed, with a weaver stance, both eyes open, and look at the sights with my right eye (head turned ever so slightly to the left). So, I am the mirror opposite of you, and I've never had a problem. If you can, with gun in right hand, rotate (not tilt) your head slightly to the right, shoot with both eyes open and use your dominant (left) eye. If this doesn't work, try to close your right eye. Still no luck, close your left eye. Last resort, shoot left-handed. My .02.

Well, that explanation, although I don't fully agree with it, is more rational than anything I got on the other thread I mentioned. Glocks don't have "unsupported" chambers, but they don't have "fully" supported chambers, either. Few pistols do. I pulled the barrel out of my brother's SIG 239 (my old gun) and compared it with my Glock 27 barrel. NEITHER was fully supported. Some who rant about the Glock chamber would be shocked after comparing the two side-by-side, and I suspect many have never bothered. I plan to inspect a few other brands of .40 barrels, just for the heck of it. I know Glocks have A HAIR less support than most makes, and I will not reload .40 ammo for it as a result. The .40 is such an unforgiving round that I will probably never reload it for ANY gun. That said, I bet I could produce high quality, precision .40 ammo on a single stage press that would function well every time in a Glock. However, the time required and the cost of doing it vs. mass-producing it on a progressive reloader would defeat the purpose--I would be better off just buying factory ammo, which is what I do anyway.

Hmmm...someone simply says he doesn't see anything wrong with carrying a Glock, and you twist that into claiming it's "God's gift to humanity." You exaggerate more than a woman. And I remember a thread not too long ago, where I tried for three pages of thread to drag some kind of "supporting argument" out of you and DaveTN as to what was wrong with Glocks, and all I got was how other guns were better with no explanation. Talk about proselytizing. I may get on here and defend Glocks a lot, but I have said many times they are definitely not perfect. But the only times I go off about them is after being provoked; unlike you, I don't look down my nose and lecture all the ignorant underlings about what they should and should not carry. The only wannabe "deist" on this forum is you.

Wally has gone up quite a bit in the past year.

LOL

LOL, at least I can't be blamed for starting this one.

LOL, didn't realize you meant w/ tax. $15.72 +tax = ~$17. We couldn't see the forest for the trees. BTW, there is plenty left for you.

canynracer, the price for WWB 115 FMJ 100-pk is still $15.72 at Bartlett Wal-Mart as of two hours ago. The Remington 100-packs were $20&change.

And once again, it was more know-it-all, I'm absolutely right no matter what, gun shop clerk-type unsolicited advice and opinions that got us here.

I'd rather have the 9mm; $13/100 rounds vs. $20/100.

I am in the market for a 9mm AR, and looked at a Bushmaster Carbon 15 today (the only 9mm AR Bushmaster makes). Anybody have any experience with one of these? Anybody heard/read good or bad things?

:D blasphemy

Hmmm...I wonder what the rest of the story is. Did the cops simply knock on the door to ask a couple questions, or were they there to serve a warrant? They have three suspects in custody as a result, and they had five guys, so I suspect they weren't there to make a simple inquiry. In such a case, wouldn't they have handguns drawn and long guns nearby?

And only then does it even begin to be a very realistic test, IMO.

I agree. I just shoot and carry what works for me, and ALWAYS keep my mouth shut

Thank goodness I don't have one of those...
