cybershooters

I turn off my brain. If I've practiced enough, reflexes take over. Maybe a few deep intakes of breath to oxygenate my body, depending on how focused I feel. Works on simple stages, but I got totally hammered at a comp in Denmark, it had the most complex stages I've ever shot on. But that's because I don't practice enough.

The big problem is lack of recoil. I speak from painful personal experience, having lived in the UK for 11 years and finding something realistic to practice with was hard. Closest I could get really was a deactivated pistol using a Beamhit system. Everything else just didn't feel right, including air pistols and actual handguns, the stupid long-barrelled revolvers people in GB are now forced to use. There's a guy in Mississippi who makes a compressed air system for guns to simulate the recoil, together with a laser. If you use a .45, I think the best bet would be to simply practice with a 9mm top-end on your .45, 9mm is a lot cheaper and it still has recoil. Or get a 9mm 1911 with an aluminum frame maybe?

I was wondering if someone could recommend a good holster for a stainless steel .40 P226 for IPSC Standard Division. All the race holsters seem to be orientated around 1911s, Glocks and CZs, or there are "one size fits all" holsters that don't seem to fit anything particularly well. Anyone got a good idea? Or a way of modifying some other holster to make it fit?
