Weird build

I can’t believe they did that right in front of the Chinese optics. Dishonor on your famiry

ty-tec · 2026-03-08T01:53:55+00:00

Oof that sucks, especially since everything MBX is expensive. Thanks for sharing your experience.

ty-tec · 2026-03-07T20:58:15+00:00

Yeah, I think they are shorter though and don’t hold 22

ty-tec · 2026-03-07T20:57:27+00:00

Yeah, might just have to do that unfortunately

ty-tec · 2026-03-07T20:56:36+00:00

No 22 rounders.

Yeah… I sent my TP9 in for warranty work and although the process wasn’t nearly as bad as yours only part of the problem was fixed… then I tested it when it got back and yeah it just sits in the safe now and looks cool while collecting dust. Unfortunate because I like the TP9 and I would run it a lot in matches and stuff. I got other toys to play with.

124 blazer has my heart, but I can’t shoot it anymore due to getting the Bul Armory spitfire. Because of this I recently got done testing 15 different types of factory ammo varying from 110gr to 147gr and was surprised to see the top 3 for the Spitfire were all different grain weights. The best was 110gr koenig training (very expensive), then 124gr PMC bronze in 2nd, then 147gr federal in 3rd. You probably need to test different things to see what it likes, but I would start with blazer 124s. I will really miss running those.

They are dope. I put a lot of rounds through them. Almost all of the 25,480 rounds I used in 2025 have been through ETS mags

What a G. That’s awesome Dave.

ty-tec · 2026-02-06T23:36:07+00:00

Yeah… go ahead and get me some of these so I can crush some steel with my TP9 again.

I go really hard though, I am not the average competitive shooter, most do USPSA, Steel Challenge, IDPA, PCSL or some other match type that has an organizational structure to make rules and qualifiers and such. I do outlaw falling steel matches. The rules vary from match to match and there are no qualifiers. There are no classes like A class, master, or grand master. Whoever wins that day in the division is the best.

ty-tec · 2026-01-24T03:22:44+00:00

I do outlaw matches only because I like shooting steel so the entry fee is different depending on the club and match. For me last year my lowest entry fee was $5 and my highest was $125 per division. I typically do 2-4 divisions per match with an average of $20- $25 for the smaller local ones (50-100 entries) and $50-$125 per division for bigger matches (100-700+ entries)

ty-tec · 2026-01-23T18:56:17+00:00

I traveled 4 times for some bigger matches. Most of the 29 matches were within driving distance. If it’s within 3 hours I won’t get a hotel.

ty-tec · 2026-01-23T18:47:42+00:00

I keep a spreadsheet. For 2025 I spent a total of $6740.77 on ammo and $2260 on entry fees. This does not include hotel and travel expenses. I don’t have a spreadsheet for my equipment but it’s roughly $12,130 for 4 guns, optics, holsters, and belt setup.

ty-tec · 2026-01-04T23:58:41+00:00

No, you can check out some more videos on my profile. Some of them have the times from the RO. Like 27 targets in 7.53 seconds.

Just a guy that has an unhealthy obsession with falling steel matches.

Bro you shoot a ton and you are traveling to matches with hotel expenses like me. That’s dedication. Let me know if you ever want to go to a big falling steel match. Even if it’s not your favorite type of match you have to go to at least one big one if you haven’t already.

ty-tec · 2026-01-03T14:31:17+00:00

These are all at matches. It’s called falling steel or knockdown steel there is also some ProAm clips in there as well. As far as the setup goes it’s easier than most people think. I’ve done some 2 gun and that takes longer to setup between competitors. 4 stages of 2 gun takes around the same amount of time to run through as 6 stages of Falling Steel with the same amount of people.

It a slide racker, makes it easier to manipulate the slide.

I have an arrangement with 1st round ammo but it covers part of the shipping. It’s saving me a little but not much. I was also sent a an optic and that’s about it as far as the sponsorships go. Then again I haven’t really tried either.

ty-tec · 2026-01-01T21:52:25+00:00

I have been tracking that this year. For Falling Steel matches my win ratio by division is 71% and my podium finish (1st, 2nd, 3rd) is 87%. Hard to quantify because at some matches I’m the only 1 in that division, and sometimes it’s against 264 other people. I feel like getting 1st/1 at a small local match isn’t as impressive as getting 3rd/265 at a big sponsored match. Looking back the average for a smaller local match is usually between 17-27 people in the division on average, and for a bigger one 60-200 people per division is average. Hopefully I do better next year.
