    That's crazy. I wonder why the plates went up 130 bucks, I bought mine from Springfield when I got my pistol for 60 bucks which was list price. And I think if you hunted around you could find them for 40 or so at other places. 

    Seems the problem is the RMR mount. Some places are $60 for other versions. But want to run a sro or 507 comp your paying big bucks

    Local shop had both a 5 and 4.25 today. Trigger was about the same on both - heavy. I picked up the 4.25. I really like it but the optic plate situation is frustrating. Having to pay 130+ for a new mount when they put a useless one in the box is dumb. They need a trade in program where you can trade their stupid mount plate for something descent.

    I had kind of shied away from these due to some negative reports I had heard. But this sounds like more positive experiences than bad. I go back and forth between the 4.25 and 5 inch guns and having a hard time deciding. And I do like to and plan to tinker on it. But more because I enjoy making improvements vs needs to make fixes to get something to work. 

    Limited Optic classification ?

    For my first LO match I just put the magwell back on my X5. And got a DAA Flex holster - which made all my other race holsters feel sad... 

     

    I can see where having a 2011 with tuned ammo and spring we could get a gun that would shoot close to a open gun. Just gotta hit them A's fast. 🧐 😀

    Registered a week or so ago in practiscore for local match in limited optics and shot my first LO match today. The classifier was 22-06 blue don't care. Shot a pretty good run - hit factor was 10.17. But there's no LO division in my classification record. So do classifiers not count while its a provisional division?

    Seller stated 1000 rounds so. This is 1200rounds. Yeah I mean, the gun looks beat to death. I just don’t know how that crack formed. 

     

    Does anyone know if this is repairable

    Why did you want to get a DVC? How long have you been shooting? I remember when the DVC first came out they looked pretty slick for a mass produced gun. But stories here on Enos and seeing others first hand experience with them it did not take long to see these were a crap shoot as to how soon it would take to go back to STI for warranty repair. Pretty sure the DVC is what made STI turn into stacatto

    Revo with optics maybe legal in USPSA

    Does anyone shoot L10? I am thinking at our local matches I have rarely if ever seen anyone shoot L10 

     

    Shooting a revo in open always seemed dumb as you would pretty much be guarantied to finish in last place and have to explain to all your buddies that you don't really suck that bad, you were just shooting a revo with a dot...

    Thinking like the local match guy I am -  I bet lots of CO shooters will jump to LO with the gear they have. I can put the mag well back on my CO gun and get a fancy race holster vs using a cut up a production type holster to accommodate my hUUUge thumb rest. CO is already a long way away from production guns with a red dot
