for our club we do this.... set up pre-registration days before the match. usually, match registration closes around 10pm the night before the match. If I'm still up, I'll get match registration using the PIN#, if not, I'll just grab it in the morning before heading out to the match. Once at the match, we open registration. If anyone is there to shoot that hasn't pre-registered, we add them to the master tablet. Build the stages on the master tablet if I don't do it the night before. Sort out squads and drop/delete no-shows. During the stage walk-throughs, I'll sync all the tablets off the master, then hand them out to the squad RO's. After the match, the squad RO's turn in their scoring tablets and I'll sync them back to the master. Offer up scores to anyone that has the practiscore app. Post results to practiscore and also email results to our list of shooters. Done. If we need to add a shooter that shows up late, usually they'll come to my squad and I'll just add them to my scoring tablet as a regular shooter. ( just back out to enter/edit shooters and add new shooter). Haven't had any issues since using this method. There was a small learning curve for our shooters using the nooks, but after a few matches, almost everyone's had a chance to enter scores and get used to using them. Even the "more distinguished" gentlemen have come around to the new technology.

well...except for that one guy from Tennessee....lol I also started with IDPA. We've amassed such an awesome group of guys that usually we'll get together and decide what division we're gonna shoot and the winner gets lunch. Sadly, I've bought more lunches than I'd like to remember.... I shot last match with my CCP carry gun in an IWB holster. A few months ago, a buddy had a sweet Dan Wesson 1911 and he let me borrow it so I shot a match with that. Got lots of guys willing to let me use a wheel-gun, but I haven't used one in competition, yet. Shoot it for what it is. Shooting with buddies! Any gun time is good time, right?

stock gun?

Keep in mind, when you're at slide lock in IDPA, you're only stuffing a mag with 10 rounds in there. I could see the issue with a full 20 rounds just dying to escape the confines of that tube with the compressed spring, but with only 10, it shouldn't be an issue.

They are well worth the money. I had a half dozen of 'em on my XDM. Haven't used them for the CZ platform yet, but going on past experience, you won't find a better product.

You'd be surprised how good the shadow trigger is in it's stock configuration. Give it a shot before spending money on it.

18-19 at first, then, once they break in, you can get 20 with a loader. There's a site with a vid and the guy gets 20 by hand. He uses a combination of tapping the mag on the rear every few rounds and popping it down on the table while pushing down on the top round, helping inertia cram them all down the tube.

I originally ordered the Dawson serrated rear and FO front for my P01 to go along with that same set of sights I have on my full size SP01. I ended up not using them, since I've been shooting the P01 with the stock 3 dot sights in IDPA and having a blast doing it! OldFrank is correct in that these are very sharp and would need some filing to be used for carry. As for holsters, I make my own so I bounce back and forth between an OWB and IWB for IDPA. I must say, this gun is an absolute blast to shoot in IDPA. My SP01 has been getting neglected since I picked up this little guy!

I've shot it clean at about 3' but the powder burns made scoring difficult! Just kiddin'. I usually attempt it at 7yards.

I'm sure someone on here will correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that if you were classified in division already, you couldn't be more than one ranking lower in all the other divisions. So if you've classified as Expert in SSP, that automatically classifies you as SS in all the other divisions. Again, going off memory here....

I've shot mine in about 4 IDPA matches in CCP. Won a few matches overall and came in 2nd and 3rd in the other two. First shot DA wasn't an issue with the Cajun Gun Works parts. SA shots felt just like my tuned SP-01 with all it's Cajun goodies. I didn't think I was going to like the night sights and had a set of competition sight (FO front and black serrated rear) on order, but after the first match, it was a non-issue. I've also shot it in SSP with the 10 rounds instead of the 8 but it's really no big difference. Just a reload in a different spot per stage. The gun has been 100% reliable and it's also my carry gun so it's nice to shoot it in a few matches now and then.

stay in Limited until you're tired of me beating you. Then move to Open. You can't hide in Production, 'cause I have one of those, too! lol

Yup. Cocked and locked in Limited.

I want a patch on the back that says, "Effin' Gamer!" But honestly, if you were to make one from scratch... Heavy material, so it'll stay open when you clear it and not get tangled up in your gun/hand/ponytail. Vents....EVERYWHERE! I'd do the entire back in mesh. It hits over 100 degrees down here and we need all the airflow we can get. Don't go overboard with all the cargo style pockets. I've used my vest for over a year and I still have yet to put a single item in any of the pockets. Make sure you give ample room in the armpit area. Don't want anything chafing or rubbing there. Wide material on the shoulder area. This will help spread the load of the vest. Mine has adjustable straps in the waist area, but again, they've never been used or adjusted.

I've seen problems with the front sight digging into the small sight channel on these.... So many better choices out there.
