I know some who shoot .40 in production, but that's just for the bigger grease ring. Just not cost effective if your concerned about that. Have fun

I'm in a similar situation, got into USPSA late at 48. Now at 54 it seems I need a new eye prescription every season. Thinking of polishing up the golf clubs now or resuming archery. And fyi compound bows are the PCC of archery. Hahahaha... fuse lit

I use a Vortex venom 3 moa on my Q5. It has been completely reliable, I only changed the battery twice just before major matches only because it's a good habit, not that the battery died. Some say the window is small, but i believe window size is irrelevant. Glass size increases with practice.

My .02 from a fellow C ... after engaging first array, just turn and shoot array on the right eliminating the 3 steps. Take the 3 far right targets while moving into left port, eliminating the need to go last port all together. Have fun.

From what I've read, I believe back in 2009 the main culprit in reliability for the Limited were the followers on the mags. I shoot a 2015 manufactured Limited using mecgar K40 mags and have no issues at all with any type of factory ammo. I can't speak to 140mm mags setup, I'm stuck in mag restricted state. I would try a mecgar mag to get her going again.

Never saw one that small.. You can just remove the caps when your ready to shoot , put back on when done.

I feel I could go ahead and make all these upgrades and still be the same lame C class shooter that i am, currently. I have realized practice and dry fire is the low hanging fruit for the USPSA game. Non of this matters to me as a shooter and helps relieve some equity burden as an RO i guess. Now i can focus on half-cock vs fully de-cocked at MR...

just started using the Walther Q5 w/ Vortex venom 3moa in CO. Starting to make the adjustment to the dot coming from Limited. Would like to see a CO forum also. Thank You!

Based on what the OP describes, no DQ... Shoot on.

looks really nice!

OP says DQ occurred while REMOVING the pistol from it's case, not while it was being unzipped, big difference IMO.

DQ... Rule #1 " All Guns are Always Loaded".. new shooter or not. RO could have coached the shooter through the make ready process if she was in fact new to the game. People don't forget the lesson of the DQ.. ever.

I suspend them in the plastic tray and hit them with a hair dryer and let it drip off. Mini Mags particularly.

Using an old safariland 5197 holster on a boss hanger for now, but looking to get a RHT at some point.

I use the DAA Alpha X holster with my Limited. when i first got it , it was very tight in the block. gun would get hung up on the draw sometimes but not every time. I assumed i was trying to rip the gun out toward the target and not lifting enough, even after a few hundred draws but that was not the case. I noticed some roughness or burs on the trigger guard as it was scrapping derlin out of the block. Took a fine file to the guard while test fitting often, all is well now , smooth.
