I just dont feel its fair to make the other shooters wait. If you just want to shoot the clasiifiers the cost will be $20.00 NOTE: All matches at AtlantaCC are conducted under a COLD RANGE as per USPSA rules. That means all guns must be either holstered (or bagged) at all times, unloaded, hammer down, with no magazine inserted. You may only handle your gun at the direction of the range officer (RO), or in the designated "safe areas." You may not handle any ammunition or loaded magazines in the safe areas! Violation of these or any other safety rules shall result in a match disqualification.

If you're willing to wait, just ask your local FFL Dealer. Should be able to get you one rather quickly. I got mine within 3 days. LOVE IT! The M&P .40 Pro w/fiber optic sights is a sweet, and accurate weapon. Well worth the wait and the $$. Just wish USPSA would make this a legal gun besides the L series.

Exactly what is a Certified Military RO and how does it pertain to USPSA? Just curious. That is about 4 hours worth of sleep and 6 beers later, thinking two things at one time. What was meant to be said is that I was a certified trainer when I was in the military. What it has to do with USPSA is that CQB drills are more in the lines of IDPA. But it is the same priciple if you're shooting a field course in USPSA that in transition remove finger from trigger as you would in CQB so you don't or in case you do sweep your partner.

.You need to get your finger along side the frame of your gun so a RO can tell from any position if your finger is on the trigger or not. RO,s cannot always be in the right place to see if your finger is actually on the trigger. I would have stopped you and DQed you for sure! dmshozer1, (you will have to view photos at photbucke as i states I've added too ,an I can fully respect your opinion and decision in the above stated comment that all RO's cannot be in the right place, therefore becomes a judgment call. I too am a Certified Military RO. However, I do communicate with the stage RO of my grip due to the fact that I lost my strong hand ring finger this summer amd meed ,u trigger finger for the exta grip on the firearm. [/img] It is hard to tell, but from second :28 to :36 is the timeline in question. In the following Picture (ACC 01) I have my trigger finger wrapped around the front of the trigger guard. I can see your concern in the below picture as it does to appear that my finger is in the trigger yet again forwardof the trigger again. This image will clearly show that my trigger finger is on the frame during reload. Picture 4 as well shows trigger finger is clearly on the frame prior to re-engagement. Picture 5, During re-engaging the targes my trigger finger is clearly inserted onto the trigger. This photo I will side with you this photo, as during the failure to feed issue it is clear that I failed to remove my finger from the trigger. Touche' Thanks for the feedback!!

It is and has been approved! I have been shooting mine since October. http://www.uspsa.org/uspsa-NROI-production-gunlist.php S&W M&P Pro series 5" 9mm (29.2 oz.),Sigma models Compact SW9V (26 oz.), SW40C (26 oz.), SW40F (26 oz.), SW40V (24.4 oz.), SW40VE (24.4 oz.), SW99 9 & 45 (25.4 oz.), SW9C (25 oz.), SW9F (26 oz.), SW9M (18 oz.), SW9VE (24.7 oz.) (Any DAO or DA/SA revolver with a barrel length of up to 8.5" is approved)

OK, I have a dumba$$ question!? So, in order to dress up do you as well have to shoot in costume? That would be too funny! Especially with the characters from Blazing Saddles.

This video was not in an actual scoring match, but has the same mistake twice by the same guy. Once a month their is a shooting coach that has an instructional league on competition, target aquisition, snapping the eyes, etc. It's an opportunity push yourself witout negative scoring reprecussions. We will shoot the stage the first time on own, get critiqued and a chance to shoot it again. It is a prime example that we all make mistakes. This video is of an A shooter making the same mistake twice. He is a good friend of mine so I compilated this video to poke fun. All the guys in Area 5 get a kick out of it.

I think it is instinctual by human nature in competition. That is part of the learning curve that I am still trying to teach myself. I am not allowing my second shot to come back and find the sight. So most of my shots are Alpha - Charlie or Alpha - Delta. I'm still a rookie and learn every time I shoot. I shoot with GM Max Bedwell and he instructs me a lot and having video helps too. I could hear the frustration in your voice when you over transitioned and had to go back. That totally messed your cadence up and most likely interfered with the rest of your mental zen causing further mistakes.

I agree you can still go slow and win. Granted, I am still learning as I am a new shooter to USPSA Pistol only discipline. Thanks to Ron & Mary Ann Cooper for the introduction to the sport and Aaron (Coach) Bright and ACT for competition 101. Which I see you know Target Sports! I ran a class with Coach and shot it in 21.84 with 2 Mikes. Aaron convinced me NOT to worry about my time and focus on hits. I ran the stage again. (Comp 101 class) and shot in 18.42 with no mikes. It does pay to slow down.

I hear that all the time. My finger is always forward of the trigger guard. The RO's I shoot with can see that better live. But thanks for being aware and attentive to safety!

I believe this will be a comical, and yet educational thread if others are not to embarassed or egotistical to show their Blunders. We all make mistakes. 2010 being my rookie year in USPSA Pistol only after coming out of the Army I had my fair share of mistakes. One thing I have learned is (Proper Preperation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.)

Yes the M&P is available. It is a very nice gun. However, do shop around for the right price as S&W suggests MSRP at 850$. You can find for $600 if your patient. I have shot mine in about 5 production matches this year. I like it but have found that tuning it makes it better. It is damn good from the box, but if your going to shoot limited this is my first suggestion. https://apextactical.com/store/product-info.php?pid36.html Apex Tactical Specialties is proud to introduce it's new *Competition Action Enhancement Kit.

Lynn VV & Titegroup is very popular. Titegroup is more economical by far. Brazo's built my EDGE and this is their data they gave me and I just made 181.2 PF at the Indiana State Championships. I chose Titegroup for Economics. For optimal performance, following are load recommendations for your Edge: OAL - Length of the cartridge should be 1.22 inches Powder - 4.8 grains Hodgdon Tite Group - 5.0 grains of Vihta Vuori N320 or Primers - Winchester small rifle primers or small pistol primers Brass - Remington (40 S&W) Bullets - 180 grain Zero JHP (40 S&W)or Montana Gold (I used MG/JHP) These loads should make a 168 to 170 power factor. However, when determining the load that will work best for your gun, begin by using about 10% less than the specified amount of powder. Check for pressure and check for velocity using a chronograph. Work your way up until the load meets the desired power factor without showing pressure signs. Brazos Custom Gunworks Ingi Londrigan

It must be down again your link is bad.

My friend and I were wondering what the best Load Data would be for this particular gun. I shoot MG JHP, Limited. I don't want to use this beauty as an experiment. If anyone had any data that has proven work in the past or ir Bob has a recommendation it would be a great cost and time saver. Thaks Bob for a wonderful peace maker & thunder maker. Bart
