Aren't you suppose to start with your back facing the targets and wrists above your shoulders on Nuevo El Prez?

My pockets aren't deep enough to justify the purchase of an X-Five Allround. I do like them though.

From a Sig Forum thread about SHOT Show:

There are a few Sig Sauer shooters who do really well in USPSA. Rodney May and Roger Sherman have been shooting Sigs for several years. Sig announced a few weeks ago at SHOT that Max Michel will be sponsored by Sig starting this season. I'm sure he'll do great too. A Sig P226 Elite is a great pistol for Production, but there are less expensive platforms. Especially if your buddy is just getting into USPSA.

You should see RFGC when it's actually raining. Not quite as bad as USSA, but close.

Nice pictures. I watched your match video and you took those six poppers down like nobody's business. Looks like someone spent the off season practicing...

I played around with one of Roger's X-Fives a couple years ago. He said the weight was giving him back problems, so he had Bruce Gray basically hollow out the dust cover to reduce the weight.

The family is thinking about a trip to Maui in March. I was thinking about bringing along a pistol to shoot one of the Sunday matches in Wailuku, but I didn't realize that I would have to register my firearm. Is this true? If so, I'll probably drop the idea. Thanks!

I think this is more likely than Sig redesigning the entire P226 lineup. We'll see soon enough!

Not going to happen unless Sig Sauer does a complete redesign on the frame and magazine. If you compare an S_I magazine to a P226 magazine, the S_I magazine is a bit wider. This allows the bullets to truly be double stack, while the bullets in a P226 magazine are only slightly overlapping by comparison.

Your initial presentation of the gun looks great. Your arms are close to full extension, but not locked out. When it comes to your two reloads, your gun and arms don't quite reach that full extension. To me, it looks like there is significantly more bend in the elbows.

Looks good, but what is Limited Class?

Looks like your practice is starting to pay off. Congrats on the great match performance!

Yes he did. See post #16...

I talked to Dave Thomas at the USPSA HQ Christmas Party two weeks ago about Nationals. He said to look for announcement around the first of the year and that we won't be going back to Tulsa this year.

I was curious to see just how many of the Production classifer HHF were truely 95% of the Limited HHFs. Same with Limited 10.

At what distance are we talking about here for 0.7x-0.8x reloads!?

There are a couple of oddities that pop up when looking at the data. The first is the HHF for CM 06-07 is higher for Production than it is for Limited. The other two oddities are CM 06-04 and CM 06-10 where the HHF for Limited 10 is higher than it is for Limited.

I'm using Limited as the baseline because everything is based off of it. So the first column is the classifier number. The second column, P/L, is the Production HHF divided by the Limited HHF. The third column, L10/L, is the Limited 10 HHF divided by the Limited HHF. Look at the CM 08-04 line. Production is indeed 95% of Limited and Limited 10 is equal to Limited. edited to add: the " - " is used a delimiter. otherwise the numbers kind of piled up together making it really difficult to read.

I had no idea this is how it worked. As time has allowed, I have used the Ohio HHF Calculator to back calculate the HHF for each classifier stage so that I could bring a print out to every match. I just did some quick calculations to find the ratios between HHFs for Production vs. Limited and Limited 10 vs Limited. Here are the results without posts the HHFs: Classifier #: P/L - L10/L CM 08-01: 0.95 - 0.98 CM 08-02: 0.94 - 0.96 CM 08-03: 1.00 - 1.00 CM 08-04: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 08-05: 1.00 - 1.00 CM 08-06: 1.00 - 1.00 CM 06-01: 0.85 - 1.00 CM 06-02: 0.78 - 0.90 CM 06-03: 1.00 - 1.00 CM 06-04: 0.96 - 1.04 CM 06-05: 0.91 - 1.00 CM 06-06: 0.93 - 1.00 CM 06-07: 1.08 - 1.00 CM 06-08: 1.00 - 1.00 CM 06-09: 0.97 - 1.00 CM 06-10: 0.84 - 1.04 CM 03-02: 0.76 - 0.95 CM 03-03: 0.85 - 0.95 CM 03-04: 0.85 - 0.95 CM 03-05: 0.85 - 1.00 CM 03-07: 0.85 - 1.00 CM 03-08: 0.85 - 1.00 CM 03-09: 0.85 - 1.00 CM 03-10: 0.85 - 1.00 CM 03-11: 0.85 - 1.00 CM 03-12: 0.85 - 0.86 CM 03-14: 1.00 - 1.00 CM 03-18: 0.89 - 1.00 CM 99-02: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-06: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-07: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-08: 0.87 - 1.00 CM 99-09: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-10: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-11: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-12: 0.90 - 1.00 CM 99-13: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-14: 1.00 - 1.00 CM 99-16: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-19: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-21: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-22: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-23: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-24: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-27: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-28: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-33: 0.90 - 0.95 CM 99-34: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-36: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-39: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-40: 1.00 - 1.00 CM 99-41: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-42: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-43: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-45: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-46: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-47: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-48: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-50: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-51: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-52: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-53: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-55: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-56: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-57: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-58: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-59: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-60: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-61: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-62: 0.95 - 1.00 CM 99-63: 0.95 - 1.00

BTW Roger Bannister and all those who are running the mile are competing over the SAME distance!!!! You don't think Mr. Sevigny and Mr. Puente ran the same distance at L-10 Nationals?

I would argue that for the top GM shooters, margin for error doesn't factor into their plan. For an eight round classifier stage, they have one round too many. Go to the USPSA web page and look through the Top 20 shooters page. You can pick pretty much any one of the top GMs, in any division, and their classifier scoring history will show multiple 100% runs. Filter out their major match wins and their scores on actual classifier stages are still multiple 100% scores. You'll see a scattering of low to mid 90% runs too. They're not shooting with the "Hero or zero" mentality. It's skill pure and simple. I'm confused. At major matches SS and L-10 shooters are scored separately. How does round count factor into the discussion of major match bumps?

Husky, good point, but...... Dave obviously had done a ton of practicing, and, just hypothesizing here, chose to NOT move his holster and mag pouch locations as he had trained so hard with them in the Production Division location. NOW, IF he had time to practice and feel comfortable/confident in the Limited 10 holster and mag pouch position, it is EASY to see from my premise in post #77 that he would have been even faster. So, hats off and congratulations to Dave Sevigny, but your argument/line of thinking is irrelevant or at best has been scientifically ( via Physics ) proven wrong. Did the guys who normally shoot Limited not practice equally as hard as Mr. Sevigny? Or was he just lucky? Around here (Brian Enos Forum) people post that the biggest difference between the higher classification levels is economy of motion, becoming more efficient during a course of fire. Perhaps Mr. Sevigny, with his Production legal gear, is more efficient than everyone else with their Limited legal gear? Physics and science has been wrong before. Before Roger Bannister, common perception was that running a four minute mile was impossible. It's a good thing he didn't listen. Maybe Mr. Sevigny is doing a similar thing with the position of his gear?

zhunter, I understand and agree with the premise of what you posted about distances to the rearmost magazine pouch that would affect reload times for SS and Prod versus L-10. But again I point you to the Dave Sevigny at L-10 Nationals this year. He used the exact same belt/magazine pouch/holster setup from Production Nationals. Didn't seem to slow him down too much against all the guys who shot Limited Nationals and then used their same belt/magazine pouch setups for L-10 Nationals.

To the best of my knowledge, there aren't too many classifier stages where shooters fire off 10 rounds before reloading or being completed.
