Got it - does it feel different turning your head with the weight of the headset or is it pretty light?
It's pretty light, but you certainly know you have something on your face. I don't get a crisp view, probably because of my eyesight. I've not messed with mine in many weeks. It's the kid's game now.

Anyone here using this and need glasses? Curious how that works out with the headset. Never had VR so not sure how real it feels visually.
It comes with a spacer if you need to wear glasses.

Used mine again yesterday. So quick and easy to use. One of the best investments I've ever bought.

I shoot an XC in IDPA. No issues with the box or weight with 126mm mags.

yeah, I forgot to mention, I shoot IPSC in the Netherlands (Europe)
Shooters don't paste or RO at our matches.
But we see the same thing... persons being out of breath after shooting a long course which took them 24 seconds and included one semi-sprint.... and on top of that, being tired from just standing around for a few hours...
Physical condition is definitely an issue but even more so in the US, from what I can tell from match footage on youtube...
Well keep in mind, from what I've read, most of us hold our breath when we start shooting. So, that might be the reason for being out of breath.

that was my thoughts as well. COps dont even do anything about actual crimes when you call. Somehow I dont see this being recorded anywhere, past whoever answers the phone saying ,,"thanks"
You're right. We don't do anything but get a paycheck.

Well the original grips sucked, so I know why they replaced them. I bet the 600-800 range would be correct. I traded a G43x with optic and light for the same generation P220 not long ago. It is all original and I will likely never shoot it. I've got a P220 Legion if I need to scratch that itch.

That's not how it works. Somebody might run into the same issue and want to ask you or some of the other posters questions.

I wasn't thinking much of it until I experienced it. We were in downtown Fort Worth doing interviews, so I thought we were going to miss it. Probably 100 or so TCSO folks got to enjoy it.

Thank you all for your replies, I just shot it again today and the same problem persists definitely not the optic or anything that’s loose. I do have a question, how do you check the barrel link? When it is in battery and push down on the barrel, it does not move. The only thing I noticed is that if mount the barrel in the frame with the slide stop in the link and not using the slide, it doesn’t lay flat on the frame it kind of wobbles from side to side. I thought if you don’t have the slide on the gun and the barrel is in the frame with the slide stop and you push it forward and down it is supposed to lay in that gap between the rails. Mine does not. I think this might be part of the Problem but I don’t know what to do to fix it.
IIRC, Remove the slide from the gun, put the slide stop through the barrel link and push it back into the barrel lug. The slide stop should still be able to rotate inside the link.

My club uses wood strips with rubber matting attached to it, and duct tape to help hold it in place. And Chalk lines for where it is supposed to be. Tape doesn't stick very well on the dirty concrete floor.

I've shot a ton of their 124 Match Winners and they are good. But I've found a source for 125 HAPs for the same price. Much cleaner on the comp and extremely accurate. Shot a 1" group at 25 yards today in an uncomfortable position.

RMR makes awesome bullets

If I was starting over, I'd go Mark7. But I've got my 1050, bullet feeder and RF100 running great. So, I don't want to start a new learning curve.
-
Depends on how you look at it. My current load is a Hornady 125 grain HAP over 4.8 grains of N330 to 1.125" using fully processed brass. This costs me around 26 cents a round. Can I buy factory ammo for less, yes. But if I want to buy a round that is similar to what I'm loading, it will be at 50+ cents a round from Atlanta Arms or Staccato.

Welcome to the forums. You picked a strange time for USPSA right now. Maybe get back into IDPA till things settle back down!!

Well that's interesting. I picked up a Platypus as an IDPA gun (also just really wanted one) and was considering porting it. Comping just isn't an option on my gun, but ports are easy.
I'd port it for sure. The only thing keeping me from spending the money to add ports to the XC is one of the head Smiths at Staccato says they sometimes cause jackets to peel, especially on plated bullets.
-
I run an XC and it's pretty darn flat. But I shot a guys P a few weeks ago that had 6 or 8 barrel ports and it was MUCH flatter than my gun. It felt about like a true open gun.

I'm just finding out about this and I'm having a hard time believing it.
One of my local clubs (I'm a member at almost all of them) asked the uspsa match director for a list of everyone that has been DQed from every match. He asked them what they wanted that for because he would have had to figure it all out. They replied that they would give the list to the state police so if anyone ever had to use a firearm for non sporting reasons they would be labeled unsafe to use/own firearms.
When I first hard of this I didn't believe it but was told that another club in PA was doing the same thing. Then proceeds to tell me of a story of a guy that got into a lot of legal trouble because of it. I don't think I should post those details here.
One has nothing to do with the other. If it's true, it's ridiculous.

Not at all, just curious since your local to me. I just to see GET's trailer out at ETTS back in the day.

I get to reverse a shoulda woulda coulda,, I left a boat I enjoyed, working for a company that was good to me to do what I thought would be near same situation for 25% more money and things didnt work out, have bounced around several companies all paying the same higher rates,, only to have my life put in danger, be lied to, and thrown under buss by bad management. Generally wishing I had never left original company.
well got an email and just signed an offer from company I left,,, wondering if I was available right away. Yep still at a lower pay,, but you know , money isnt everything.. Quality of life and lack of stress can make up for alot. Having an Army pension that pays ALL my living expenses makes me pretty flexible...
Any way wil have a set month on month off schedule, no more bouncing around, and can actually plan a hunt or some travel ICORE shooting matches.Yes I agree, double dipping is awesome!!

Grumpyone has taken on a lot of work to keep it going. Don't be a stranger!!

Sig P320 with the small TXG grip. Have someone port it for you. I've shot 2011s that were ported vs the single port comp on my XC. The ported gun was much flatter.
-
I had a grouping issue with my XC. They changed the barrel link and put in a new slide stop. It still doesn't shoot as tight a group as I'd like, but I also have my suspicions about the DPP. FWIW, I don't notice any issues during matches, only trying to shoot groups off a rest at 25.
