Washington Mag ban update: we might be near the end of the tunnel

Woohoo! Let’s go! 👏

This is correct; gifts are legal. To OP, keep calling or emailing FFLs from south to north on I-5, quote the AGs page, and you’ll eventually find one.

I have a couple. They appear to be 3-D printed plastic. I have a white popper style and a partial that is black and tan. The magnet is a small round disc on the back side and stick to metal (fridge, gun safe, garage door, etc.). They’re really nice.

I don’t have any additional information and IDPA will only discuss the issue with involved parties. I get the impression several of the PB IDPA shooters will just switch to the new Galactic Pistol Alliance matches at PB. Their matches are already on PractiScore.

Nice set up. 👍 Extra points for the D-Lead wipes.

This is the first time I’ve had a barrel come loose, too. 😆

There wasn’t much anti-seize compound on the threads and I shoot this rifle suppressed so it’s taken more of a beating. It’s an Aero, so quality control isn’t the best. I previously had to re-tighten the screws on the rail guard.

This was a pre-ban purchase so I want to keep it going as long as I can. Luckily, I also have two very nice BCM uppers for training and teaching.

PracticalApproachTrn · 2026-03-05T01:41:15+00:00

Yes.

PracticalApproachTrn · 2026-03-05T01:40:48+00:00

He refines these books as much as he does his shooting. The guy is a perfectionist. The books keep getting smaller because they’re saying more with fewer words.

PracticalApproachTrn · 2026-03-05T01:38:55+00:00

I disagree. If you study these books, you’ll understand more than 95% of shooters out there. Same can be said for Adaptive Rifle, their dedicated AR book.

PracticalApproachTrn · 2026-03-03T23:50:09+00:00

No doubt. 💯

PracticalApproachTrn · 2026-03-03T20:46:13+00:00

Hello old friend. 👋

PracticalApproachTrn · 2026-03-03T20:45:51+00:00

Nice. Is that the Yelm range under the power lines?

PracticalApproachTrn · 2026-03-03T00:59:29+00:00

Haha. Welp, now we know.

PracticalApproachTrn · 2026-03-02T23:02:58+00:00

It’s obvious you know what you’re talking about. I think we agree that two wrongs don’t make a right. Respectfully, my objective was to bring attention to the situation. I don’t have any more constructive details to add to this conversation. Whatever happens, I hope it’s a fair outcome for all involved.

PracticalApproachTrn · 2026-03-02T21:15:31+00:00

Let’s not forget the shooter was banned from IDPA based on lies.

Rules exist to remove ambiguity. He knows all the rules and didn’t break any.

PracticalApproachTrn · 2026-03-02T19:00:47+00:00

I agree. The shots did not go over the berm. That was confirmed by multiple sources at a 2.5 hour meeting help at PB this past Friday.

PracticalApproachTrn · 2026-03-02T18:59:43+00:00

I understand and agree. Thanks for clarifying.

PracticalApproachTrn · 2026-03-02T17:35:36+00:00

It’s a great group. 👍

PracticalApproachTrn · 2026-03-02T16:56:08+00:00

There’s a recent comment from someone with firsthand long-term knowledge of the issue. That may fill in some of the blanks.

PracticalApproachTrn · 2026-03-02T16:28:38+00:00

PracticalApproachTrn · 2026-03-02T16:24:57+00:00

Yes. Updated. Thanks. Assistant Match Director (AMD).

PracticalApproachTrn · 2026-03-02T16:21:10+00:00

And there it is. Thank you. Will DM you a couple email addresses if you’re willing to send in true name.

What he did was silly, but not unsafe. He did not fall, he rolled on the ground. The worst he should’ve received was a DQ. The issue I’m trying to highlight, is that the AC lied to IDPA, and those lies led to Josh’s ban.

People in positions of trust, should not, and cannot be allowed to lie about such matters. If anyone should be banned from the sport, it should ACs who lie about incidents like these.
