It's The Little Things

"I am gearing up for a match next weekend and want to make sure I have all my bases covered."

This is something we have routinely heard over the years, however hearing that this morning made me smile just a little more. It feels so good to talk to competitive shooters as they are finally getting into the swing of the 2020 season. There are still postponements and canceled matches, but I am hearing more and more of matches that are still taking place!

Match prep can make or break a weekend! Especially when it comes to your magazines. Here's where to start.

Most rimfire matches require a minimum of five magazines. Considering you will also want 1-2 back up magazines its, important not to overlook making all of your magazines competition ready! Nothing will derail a fun-filled match weekend more than a random magazine in the mix ruining a stage or stages.

The good news is the magazines can be tuned easily and affordably. If I were only going to change one thing on my magazines, it would be installing our Magazine Follower Buttons. If you look at a factory magazine, you would more than likely notice an area where the sides of the factory factory magazine button rubs on the magazine body. This is never a good thing, and it's even worse when trying to clear five plates in a matter of seconds!

There is one other improvement you may want to consider, and that's our SureFeed Magazine Follower Spring. Our upgraded spring ensures that every round feeds from the magazine and is ready to go!

If you are looking to buy magazines ready to go, we have you covered! All of our magazines come standard with both of these upgrades. You can find our various magazines at the links below:

• Magazine for Target 22 Scorpion Pistols and Ruger MKIII
• Magazine for 1911 Scorpion Pistols and Ruger MKIII 22/45
• Magazine for Black Mamba and Ruger MK IV 22/45
• Magazine for Mamba-TF Pistols and Ruger MK IV

A little extra match prep can go a long way in eliminating potential issues at your next match! So whether you are a top level shooter or just enjoy the recreational aspect of rimfire matches, let's all get out and have fun the next time that local match is held!
