ok i have been reading through the rulebook when i can for the USPSA but have not come across wheather a tactical leg holster is legal in production or not can someone please clarify... thanks..( the reason i ask is because it is what i have come to know in the service.)

Thank you all so much.. now that i have heard from more fellow enthusiast i feel little bit actulyl much more safe with the terms "toys' and "games" thank you .. it is just i didn't want to offend anyone by saying at a match somting like this ... " man this game is fun it gives me a whole to way to play with my toys.." and some one else saying " You dumb basterd this isnt a game these arent toys and you cant play with them these are finley machined killing machines ... if used properly.." but now that the fear of being turned away for such langauge has been extinguished.. "lets all get together with all of our TOYS and go out and PLAY a great GAME " thanks again to you all and thank you for the heads up on veterans day it means alot.. to know that my part is appreciated.

Ok first off i am ex military us special forces and am very familiar with firearms and have delt with them all my life. i have never done sport shooting and have wondered about my prodomenint shooting styel and everyone tells me it is ok. Now I feel very funny when people call this a Game. i was always tought from a young age that guns are not toys. you dont point them at anything you dont want to die. now am i wrong for feeling ackword about calling it a Game? i mean just because it is a sport dosent mean its a game right? i believe in safty first and that is it .. but is game a loose term??

–noun 1. Chinese, Ch'an. Buddhism. a Mahayana movement, introduced into China in the 6th century a.d. and into Japan in the 12th century, that emphasizes enlightenment for the student by the most direct possible means, accepting formal studies and observances only when they form part of such means. that is the literal translation of zen. but to explain it take a more practical explination. I have done martial arts all of my life. one of the more recent ventures was into the art of Kendo Kenjitsu ANd YIJITSU ... (various sport and combat forms of sword fighting) Now while doing these sword fighting ventures with kendo sticks we would get into groups of five or ten and start with all swords touching in the center and stating various rules such as every man for ones self.. NOw when you get in the middle of this live game of "whack a mole" you are striking and block and doing various things at once. After which we all talk about this.. and there are many times when playing people were like "how did you see that strike coming?" and i would have no idea what they were talking about. i had blocked a shot with out knowing it was there .. the movement of the sword was just so fluid and a part of me i blocked a shot .. this became KNown as a zen block because you were in the zone.. another example of zen is being "in the ZONE" so to speak. for those of you who have done this for a while have you ever been at the starting gate and right before you start everthing seems to slow down due to adrenalin? well when you go and your shooting and moving does it seem like your pistol ever just seems to go right to the target and you reload just soo smoothly? then it is all over you get a perfect score and you were like that was amazing. well this is zen you reloaded with out thinking .. your mind and body just became one.. now there is no way to really set yourself into a zen manner it just happens.. the best thing to do is relax. a term we like to use in sword fighting is "BE" you are .. that is it there is nothing else you seem to "JUST BE" you are what you are... and when you are getting ready to go out remember master yoda's qoute to which i hold dear.. "There is no try There is only DO or DO NOT"

Being former military i count rounds because my life would depend on if i am empty. Now how i learned to do this i dont know .. it is a very surreal thing when it comes to shooting for me. when we would do mout drills with Simunitions and other gear were you use dummy rounds it seems to have become second nature for me .. but i have a problem with leaving 1 or 2 rounds left in the mag if i get moving to fast. with the way this sport is set up it seems that the pre planning of where you are going to make your mag changes is good. but this seems to only work in theory to me because what if you miss then you mess up your whole plan? i count shots but this is going to be hard to recal from shooting 13 to 15 rounds in my old pistol to shooting only 10 in the production class.. well good luck..

IT WILL ... God I know i am going to have a F** up story soon...

thank you i am already on the classifieds this place is great... hope to be shooting soon.. thanks again

Ok ladys and gentlemen i am new to the uspsa but not new to shooting. when i am firing my pistol i hold it in my left hand but am right eye dominent. i hit targets at the range fine but i have never done anything like a uspsa style comp.. now i want switch to shooting right handed but it feels funny and i havent purchased a new pistol yet. but when i do i am a little afraid to shoot with my right arm.. on accuracy and grip.. anyone have any sugestions.. I like Sig arms and Hk but that is a little pricy for me right now what gear should i start with that would be most benificial?? what else will i need beisdes the obviouse gun and holster.. thank you very much..
