All pertinent information can be found here https://practiscore.com/2022-walther-arms-area-4-championship/register STAFF: Staff is now being accepted for the match, so if you are interested in working, please email area4@uspsa.org for more info.

ZR tactical makes one that will fit in the 4.5" pdp but you can also use a guide rod for an M&P, I am using a tungsten one I purchased several years ago in my 5". I haven't tried other guide rods yet.

The TF basepads will get you to 22 in the mag, plus one in the gun. I haven't had a chance to play around with different mag spring/follower combinations but am going to give that a try in the next few months. Holsters, there are a few options and the comptac one is good but I understand you don't like it. I am working with a holster maker now to get them a 5" gun mold completed but not the 4.5" one, although it will or should work in the same holster. I use the DPP and have also mounted a Holosun on one as well but don't know the answers to the RTS design. The flatwire springs from ISMI are compatible and work well but you will also need to add a stand alont guide rod for them unless you want to hassle with the stock one. I'm using the 15# one.

I have a comptac for my 4.5" FS and I like it, plain, simple but works well.

Yes I believe they are the ISMI Glock flatwire springs.

No, you can use a full length guide rod for an M&P as well. I am running a tungsten full length guide rod from Speed Shooters Specialties that I bought many years ago. I used it in my 5" ppq for almost 2 seasons prior.

Great!

Thanks Ernie! Did you happend to get your devices back from Dale or Debbie? I looked for you but you weren't with your squad when I came around with them.

Thank you so much, glad you made the trip over to shoot with us and hope to see you again!

There are still a few spots left on Friday!

The SF soaks up a lot of felt recoil and seems to shoot a bit flatter...but...I say felt recoil because watching the two guns cycle in slow motion the muzzle seems to rise about the same for me. Target transitions seem a bit easier with the lighter gun as well but the biggest difference is in the grip. The SF feels pretty good in my hand with the Walther Slim Aluminum grips or the Lok sliim grips but the PDP fits my hand like a glove.

The Walther Arms, Inc. Area 4 Championship match is filling up! We are at 359 competitors as of this post and the weekend schedule is full. There are still spots available for Thursday or Friday, shooting all 13 stages in 1 day. The stages will be broken down like this, 4 - 24 rounds or less stages, 2 speed shoots and 7 long field courses from 26 - 32 rounds each. Yes, there will be a chronograph! The stages will be sent to DNROI soon and the matchbook will be posted about a week or two before the match.

I am running the PDP this year, the 4.5" full size one with a DPP installed on it with the Walther factory supplied plate and a Holosun 507C with the Walther factory supplied plate as well. I changed out the guide rod to the ZR Tactical one and a 15# Glock Flat Wire ISMI recoil spring. I was running a wilson combat 15# flat wire 1911 spring in my SF gun and they are shorter compared to the Glock springs and feel lighter too. The 15# Glock springs releive some of the tension on the recoil feel but not as much as the Wilson springs. With the Wilson springs I also ran a 6# Glock striker spring and if I am going to run that combination in my PDP I will use the Glock striker spring as well. I plan on doing some testing next week with the different springs, primers etc and may record some slow-mo video to see how it looks.
