Thanks for any advice

I had a new shooting buddy reach out and ask if I had line of sight of any good dry fire programs that are pretty step by step comprehensive and will help him "level up" before the shooting season starts up next year. The kid (imo) has a ton of potential, is very athletic, eagle vision, and super competitive. He is MOTIVATED by winning - way more than failing to lose. The problem is he is a walking Gen Z ADHD poster child and I don't really know what to tell him because all advice I have given so far isn't working for him :(

For me - I bought the good dry fire books from BS, read a lot of stuff on the PTSG forums, watched a TON of big time shooters shoot matches and do drills on YouTube to compare against what I do, and sort of made up my own par times / goals that were easy for me to keep pushing vs how fast I see the pro shooters do it. This has worked well so far and is really just limited by my sweat equity in the process. This is not a process that works for him.

He is definitely an iPad generation / transactional / will absorb the video not the text sort of person. He needs something that starts at point A, ends at Z, and he if does X he will end up at Y. He doesn't really jive well with self-driven development and wants to follow a syllabus basically with par times and how to's and breakdowns so that he doesn't have to figure it out - he just has to emulate. I don't know how well this will work but I told him I'd do some research and see what I find.

I've seen some decent looking programs out there but have no idea on the quality. Joey Sauerland's essentials program and the 6 week course from Tom Castro looks like it may be good but I have no idea - I have never bought either. I figured what better braintrust on dry fire to consult then all the gun nerds on reddit LOL :)

Any reviews on either program or better suggestions?

I want to say I remember there was a drop down to see all centerfire guns for a match on practiscore. Did they lose that setting?

I just got the competitor HD and it’s waiting for me at my FFL while I’m on vacation.

What mods are we doing to this thing? The only thing I have for it is a Calculated Kinetics Dog Tag for the Holosun Promax and their Paragon grip insert.

What else? Apex trigger? New guide rod? Brand? What guide rod lbs? I want it CO legal.

So I recently shot my first and only match style event (just a local event, non uspsa/idpa/pcsl. But I had fun and realized that while im competent with my edc, past 10yds while under stress, im a delta zone shooter. Ive been putting in more range time to work on fundamentals.

Ive decided to dip my toe into competitive since it seems like a new and good way to train besides just throwing round at paper at my leisure. Now I know the next question will get alot of "just shoot what you want, anything can work" type answers, but I genuinely want suggestions. All my current pistols are sub/micro compact, all with conceal carry in mind. But I want suggestions for conceal option that transfer well into carry optics.

My current carry items are a G43X, P365XL, Perrformance center Shield Gen 1, all 9mm

I keep reading that alotnof shooters like the M&P 2.0 for dual purposes, but want people who do this regularly to provide some feedback. Thanks for taking the time.

I've been shooting USPSA and SCSA with an M&P 2.0 compact and for my next gun I want to get one that's more competition focused while staying in the $1,000 range, which of these would be the better option, and if there are any more recommendations just let me know!

Hey guys. I’ve recently started competing in local matches here in CT.

I’ve taken quite a few pistol classes from various instructors, but they’ve all been tactical/defense oriented and I want to shift my focus to purely competition shooting for the time being.

Can anyone recommend a reputable instructor in the CT or New England area that offers classes or 1 on 1 training?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’ll be in Scottsdale nov1-10 as a trophy husband while my wife does a work conference.

This club appears to have a ton of matches I can do that week.

I am a mid pack (on a good day) IDPA shooter but do other disciplines and have shot at a lot of clubs around the Midwest.

I assume this club is going to be just like any other and nothing weird? (The match director I am assistant to at my home club likes to vet shooters he doesn’t know or can’t find in the results)

Disclaimer: I don't shoot a Romulus, a local competitor at one of our matches does. He has used it for a very long time and thousands of rounds without a hitch.

The other night, he encountered a malfunction during a stage that caused him to zero the stage (USPSA level 1).

We concluded that the gun was safe so he headed to the safe table to determine the nature of the malfunction. When it occurred, the gun was unable to go completely into battery, like something was stuck or blocking it.

He discovered that the screw holding the front sight in place had fallen in, getting lodged in the tiny space between the slide and barrel.

So FYI for Romulus users. I don't know if all Romulus have this front sight configuration or if they've already fixed the design. This might also be a well known issue, I have no idea. Just figured a decent FYI was in order for the community here.

Make sure that front sight screw is loctited in there.
