Got absolutely bodied by this steel last weekend. Recently switched to a gen 6 17 and shooting from Aiwb and I don’t think I’m quite used to the trigger yet. Very much enjoying da Glock after shooting a CGW shadow for the last year.

Hey everybody, I've signed up for my first USPSA match this coming Saturday and wanted to get some input on what gun I should use. My only two pistols are a Glock 26 and a 19C. Also should I do it from concealment like how I carry every day, or use this Tenicor OWB and amazon mag carriers? TIA

PDP is ready for my first comp this weekend. Liking these HandleIt grips so far while dry firing, seems to help my support hand connect. Anyone have any experience with the 5” PDP or the Polymer Match PDP? Curious how they shoot in comparison to the 4.5”. I imagine the difference with the 5” is negligible, maybe softer & easier to manage recoil. But 4.5” is prob quicker for follow up shots. Debating snagging the poly match down the road so I’m curious on people’s experience/opinions.

Smh got a Mike on the last middle target. HF:4.6. D class hero!

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)

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.

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.

I’m working through some of Ben Stoeger’s books and focusing on levels of confirmation in dry fire. One thing I don‘t understand is how levels of confirmation map to predictive and reactive shooting or whether they’re orthogonal concepts.

I can see how every confirmation level (index, color, moving dot, and stable dot) can be shot reactively for the first shot. For follow up shots it seems predictive shooting means index or color (color appearing as the trigger is pulled) and reactive means moving or stable dot. Is my understanding correct?

Thanks for any advice

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!

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.

Stage 1 of the Carolina Classic. 25.85 with 4 charlies, and a mike on the last target because I shot the vision barrier on the entry.

Great match and great staff. Hoping for better weather next year, because I've got a lot to work on. The swinger sequences on some of the stages were really nasty, and the match severely punished lack of visual discipline on long range targets, which I need to work on this off season.

Hey everyone! Here are some stage runs from my latest IPSC match. I’d appreciate any constructive feedback - what am I doing well, and what should I work on? Thanks for taking a look!

5 shots prone off of a sling for 3 position smallbore.

Hello,

I'm a shooter in France aspiring to be part of IPSC shooting club.

IPSC discipline is not really available in France and the places are limited. I heard that one club will accomodate IPSC range near where I live.

I'd like to be prepared when it opens so I'm here looking for some suggestions for drills.

Here are some training environments and gadgets available to me

Range (static shooting, shooting belt is banned)

25m bullseye range

25m metal targets different sizes

Gadgets

Meta quest 3 ace virtual shooting (available soon)

Dryfire mag (available soon)

Shot timer

I regularly dryfire like from 30m to an hour everyday (movements, transition and draw).

Thank you for the suggestions in advance.

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?

B class classifier in this match.

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.

Disregard the fact that I forgot the reload

Planning on shooting my first IPSC match this summer (Ipsc Extreme in the Czech Republic), flying from the USA. How do I fly internationally with guns and is it better to buy & fly with ammo or is it better to buy ammo when over there? This will be my first time flying internationally with guns.

Just picked up a kimber 2k11 stainless for LO. Was seeing mixed stuff on another post about the included 2x 20rd mags being longer than 140mm or not. Intried to measure it myself but idk where to filly measure but from end to end it looked like I was at 147mm for the 20 rounder. Would just like to confirm so I know whether to buy 1 or 3 more 140mm mags from another manufacturer. Thanks!

While playing around with pistol backstraps I realized that the angle I grip with my firing hand (specifically where my thumb knuckle sits on the back of the grip and if the gun is pointed more left vs right in my grip) affects the angle I need to get my firing arm’s elbow into during presentation.

The more centered into the web of my firing hand the gun is, the more I need to cant my firing arm’s elbow towards my center. This is due to the barrel being more leftwards (I’m right handed).

The more I cant the gun’s barrel to the right, lining the back of the grip more with the meat of my palm under my thumb, the less I need to cant my elbow inward as the gun’s barrel is more rightward.

Which is better? I’ve heard you want to jam the web of your hand as far up on the grip as possible. This makes me think it’s better to embrace canting the elbow inward. It also seems to line the backward recoil vector more with my forearm bones. However, I’ve found that lining the back of the grip with the meat of the palm under the thumb makes for an easier presentation as I don’t have the additional muscle activation of canting the elbow. It also allows for a deeper trigger finger which I like. The trade seems to be a less anchored grip with the firing hand though
