"what typically doesn't work is trying to get the perfect still sight picture and then real quick pull the trigger before it goes away." I may have been doing exactly that, at 25 yds offhand the dot movement on the target seemed extreme compared to the iron sight, even though it’s the same for both.

That’s very plausible, I was a bit distracted by the dot moving on the target. I assume the solution is practice?

I had my CZ shadow slide milled to accept a Holosun 507c. At 25 yards offhand I can hold a softball sized 10 shot group with the irons. With the optic it opens up to a large dinner plate sized group at 25 yards with the same ammo. I checked the optic, it appears to be mounted snugly to the plate and slide. With the optic I keep both eyes open, but I have to close an eye with irons, my right eye is very dominant. Unless the optic is defective, I am at a loss to explain how I am more accurate with irons. This is absolutely not the case with long guns, with them I am more accurate with the optic (red dot or scope) than with iron sights. Thanks.

I want to use my SP-01 shadow in carry optics. Obviously the slide needs milled, any gunsmith suggestions? I am new to optics on handguns but I have a Holosun 512c on my PCC and like the circle dot reticle. I have done some research and it seems that direct milling to the slide offers advantages over using a plate. This leads me to the Holoson 507k as it can be directly milled to the narrow SP-01 slide unlike the 507c or SRO which require a plate. Is it a bad idea to run the smaller 507k vs larger SRO + plate for competition? Also if I run the 507k some gunsmiths (Cajun) allow you to keep the factory rear site, will this help someone new to pistol optics find the dot or will it be something in the long run that just clutters up the sight picture? Another reason I am leaning toward the 507k is it will fit on my P-01 and rami concealed carry pistols. I like to keep my competition guns as close to my carry guns as possible. I am a causal competitor, I do USPSA for fun, but I don’t want my equipment to handicap me either. Thanks.

I got a BCM SPR build in 556 & a Compass Lake .22 LR upper built like the BCM. I bought the CL 22 upper as a cheap way to practice on my SPR lower without spending a fortune on ammo, but I am questioning the merits of my decision. I mostly shoot at simulated distance targets at 25 yards designed to simulate targets at 50, 100, and 200 yds. But obviously the recoil and possibly the wind drift and drop are very different. Would I be better off selling the 22LR upper and just buying more 556 to practice with? Thanks.

Your assumption is correct. Sorry I forgot to mention in original post.

I have been thinking about jumping into the PCC division and have a few questions. I have pretty much settled on the JP GMR-15, however I am not sure which optic or magazines to get. Currently I am leaning towards a Aimpoint Comp M5 for the optic because I want something that is not made in a developing country (China, Philippines) as I don’t trust the quality control of optics made in those countries. I also want an optic that takes a readily available battery (AAA for the comp m5). Is the Comp M5 competitive in PCC? For magazines I was thinking of running a 33 round Glock mag with the Taylor Freelance +20 extension as my starter magazine with 3 additional Glock 33 rounders on the belt for stages with mandatory reloads. This would give me back up “big mags” in case the mag with the +20 extension failed. I will use the DAA Glock extended mag-pouch spacer in my DAA racer mag pouches. Would this mag set-up be competitive? Thanks.

I would get the CZC TS magwell that fits the IPSC box. I got the large TS magwell and had to remove a lot of material from it & the CZC basepads to get the mags to lock in and drop freely. I ended up having to bead blast my basepads because they were so ugly after I was done. CZC really needs to watch the tolerances on some of their parts.

Just picked up one of these scopes and need a mount for my 556 AR-15. Here are my priorities from most important to least important: 1 retain/hold zero 2 quick detach 3 won't DEFORM the rail when used properly, I understand it may leave some cosmetic marks, 3 allows the use of a folding back up iron sight 4 robust, bombproof construction 5 allows proper eye relief 6 ease of installation, will allow use of wheeler torque wrench 7 will return to zero after being removed 8 price 9 weight Right now I am leaning towards this: http://www.bobroengineering.com/view/product/18/ Thanks

Ditto, if I had to do over I would have just gotten the CZUB or CZC IPSC magwell.

For pouches I run DAA racer mag pouches (plastic), buy them from CED and they will include a free modified spacer for the TS. I tried CR speed, DAA universal, and ghost 360, but the DAA with the modified spacer worked the best. For holster I run a blade tech pouch on a ben stoeger boss hanger.

I have not tried anything, I was always gripping the gun hard, just not to the point that I induced tremors. Per the Leatham vid and my own facilties of discernment I decided to just continue gripping the gun the way I always had.

Is the factory trigger plastic or metal?

Thinner grips also help with reaching the safety. http://czcustom.com/CZ-Thin-Medium-Silver-Grips.aspx

Hard, my deadlift work set is 455lbs for 7 reps. I have a strong grip, but when I death grip the gun I get tremors, I would bet most people have tremors when the squeeze at 100%.
