I have one pistol. A G17 Gen4. If I were to have two pistols I'd have a G34 and a G19.

Pardon my tone if it came off as snide, but I was just curious if there was another factor in choosing the G34... I bet you could get it sold fairly easily for little loss if you did decide that one of those others were more to your liking... Since you are running a Gen 4, is cutting off the lower half of a backstrap cheating for SSP? It is a stock part, just modified... maybe there is some wiggle room there without having to go with the beaver tail...

I don't know of any way, but I'm wondering why you didn't buy an M&P or FNS if you wanted to stay in SSP with a 1911 grip angle?

Our club has been on the fence about Steel Challenge for about a year now. The perceived lack of variety pushes half of our shooters away. We'd like to have a week night match and Steel Challenge seems like the perfect solution to 'get our kicks.' And it's a good way to bring in new shooters with rim-fire. I think using the standard 8 as classifiers is a perfect solution. I think a good balance would be L1 matches can shoot 1/4 to 1/3 classifiers. Or something like that. I'm spit-balling on that but anywho.... Great Idea

4 on belt, one loaded to 11 in my carpenter pocket on most stages for a load mag. On some stages, like all mags on the table start, I'll end up taking that extra round out and putting it in my pocket. 50 or 51 rounds should be enough to finish any 32 round stage with plenty of reload options Am I missing anything here?

I don't understand the first sentence; it reads to me like empty jargon. Shot calling is seeing the sights on the target at the break and "knowing" that the gun was lined up correctly. If that is measurement, then so is range estimation if based on "how far away something looks". Below is the basic model for a closed loop system. If you are trying to aim a gun, the outcome is where the gun is pointed. Sights are a 'sensor' measuring the output of where your gun is pointed.

Which is to say the are an instrument or sensor for taking measurements. That's why I likened it to a control loop because they measure your errors, and you close the loop on how much they are off by. There are just various ways to close the error depending on how large it is. I don't see how sights measure error. Error is based on outcome. The only accurate measurement of error is checking the target. The sights are not measuring the error of your movement, and you don't use that as an input to close the loop? And just what is shot calling?

Wouldn't they be more like the windshield? The sights don't direct the gun, do they? I would say the steering wheel on a car is an input device. Depends on your plant model...

I wish your line of thinking was more prominent in IDPA.

+1 Spikes and CMMG could go in the fun gun category too.

They are one input into your control loop.

Jones Tactical makes a 1.75 belt that they can customize for you. If you go out for that kind of thing.

Just the right side. Makes for an interesting 'flow'

And I can see why... Chalk it up to club quirkyness.

This port would be 'too high' to hit the mini popper from where the shooter stands. If you put the port low enough shooters will have a direct shot at it and make it interesting by forcing them to a lower shooting position to hit your swinger, the angled low targets should be pretty easy from up close.

This really kind depends on how competitive the team wants to be. If every member wants to be competitive they are going to need their own setups for dry fire. If the only practice will be on the range and every one is willing, I'd go with Safariland ELS and have a limited number of mag pouches/shell holders and just swap them around.

Make it really interesting by putting the left port low enough and position the activating popper so you can hit it if from further back in the course, near the start of the narrow section. You might have to shift the 'point' to shooters left a little to do that.

Can we get some side views?

It looks like a pretty narrow view through those ports on about 10yard targets. There are a not many shooters I know of who wouldn't run right by that especially given the option to shoot them in the clear. I'd say make the view wider and place no-shoots on the fences. And as far as I can tell there is no way to shoot the targets on the right side effectively from the narrow section if that's the intent. The angles don't seem to work for fast shooting nor can you get at the activator of the swinger.

In my mind less is more. You have a lot of fault line for basically a head fake on new shooters. This is my opinion and I haven't seen it shot so take that with a grain of salt.

I disagree on the Glock. Even the Gen 4's are a tad larger than I'd like and I have med-small hands.

You do realise that all shots must be taken from inside the fault lines, but the fault lines in no way constrains where a shooter may travel while not shooting?

Not quite as much cleat as a foot ball cleat but good comparison against the Speedcross 3 is the New Balance MT110.

CZs haven't been mentioned yet. ETA: They have been mentioned twice now.
