Congratulations on making Master, Joshua!
Anytime I fix something around the house, or take care of some apparently impossible task, it has become a required tradition at my house that my kids or my wife must repeat this phrase to me, "Dad, you are a genius."Thanks guys! Now starts the hard work of teaching my kids to address me as “master” instead of Dad.
lol-I could get used to that. Not sure I could get my wife in on it though!Anytime I fix something around the house, or take care of some apparently impossible task, it has become a required tradition at my house that my kids or my wife must repeat this phrase to me, "Dad, you are a genius."
I can see "master" being used in your house, with some sort of bowing ritual.
You can shoot a Shield in BUG. Just run what you brung.@Amp Mangum
Thanks for the videos.
And I have a question for anyone so inclined,
Concerning the BUG division, looking at the gun specs it "appears" that a S&W Shield would be legit to use.
But just to be clear, the height spec that I'm seeing for the shield is 4.6, which is less than 4.625 true,
but I don't know if that 4.6 is with the flush mag or extended mag.
So with the rules stating "with the largest magazine inserted", would the shield with the extended mag in it be legal for BUG division?
Or would I need to use all flush fitting mags?
I'm trying really hard not to make it overly complicated but I'm probably failing...
Thanks

We only load five rounds per mag in our matches in "Semi" so the J frame revolvers can compete on a more level playing field.
I'm trying to convince my wife and mother-n-law to come to this match. We will not be drawing from a holster but from low ready correct?
Wife "I don't think my mom is ready to shoot a competition."
Me "But she's ready to defend her life in a violent encounter?"
Wife Blank stare....processing..."Ok I'll ask her!"
Me Winning.

8.2.8 Semi-Automatic BUG (BUG-S) Handguns permitted for use in BUG-S must:Question about BUGs. Is the Glock 26 still legal? Do the ESP rules apply to it like CCP?

I did a whole chart last year when the rules were changing on 6-7 popular BUG guns. It's what I do, lol.Thanks guys! Sorry @fieldgrade - was hoping someone just knew off the top of their head. Didn't mean to give you homework
For you, and ONLY for you, if you can't find something to shoot I'll loan you my G43, and have everything you need. You just bring some decent 9mm ammo. And I'll shoot my wee little 10oz. Kahr 380, just to embarrass the guys with bigger guns.What if you don't have a gun that fits in the box? I can buy one but I won't have any time in it. I was hoping to trade the 34 for one but it looks like I'm gonna have to buy one
The guy I'm going with offered me his wife's 43 but I don't really want to borrow stuff,, I have a way of breaking things.For you, and ONLY for you, if you can't find something to shoot I'll loan you my G43, and have everything you need.

Just let me know.

Can you draw from an appendix holster?
No. Not IDPA legal.Can you draw from an appendix holster?
For a match, I don't think a Safety Officer, Match Director, Range Master, or Range Owner would be at all comfortable with it.
Ken Hackathorn related a story to us in the 2.5 day advanced handgun class a few weeks ago about how he forbid it while training experienced LEO who said they carried that way.
If you "sweep yourself", meaning point a gun anywhere at yourself, even if only momentarily sweeping your leg or arm, you can be "DQed" from a match. Disqualified.
Holsters must be positioned on the belt so that the center of the trigger pad is behind the centerline of the body.
Get the 2.0...much better in my opinion.That's make sense,,,, getting ready to go pick up a 9mm Shield
I think I'm gonna run the 5x5 classifier this week with a BUG gun.
THAT should be interesting.
I was just gonna run myself in a classifier using a G43.Set that up as one of the stages? That would be sweet. I ran it two weeks ago and missed master by .50. Would be interesting to see how I did with a Shield. Speaking of...I have a TLR6 on it. Will I need to remove that to shoot the match?
I've been doing some thinking,,, Being I have never shot a match or shot the gun I'll be using I'm figuring to only finish 2nd or better. I'm guessing that will pay about 2-3k?
Im also not a good shot anyway but I'm figuring I'll be like John Wick Saturday

Lol,, I'm just trying to get through the first one with no hiccups or a DQ,,Hinestly don't care about time/points. I have about 200 dry fire rds so far. Ive put everyone through the same hole. The Sheild and I are really accurate without real bullets.Evidently, drawing and dry firing your new gun will be more useful than thinking. [emoji3]
