    Best Iron sights for RFRI

    in Steel Challenge

    Posted

    What is the hot ticket set of high visibility iron sights for a 10/22?  I would like a ghost ring type rear that mounts on the picatinny rail, and a fiber optic front that clamps to a .920 barrel.  Who is making these sets that I see folks running in steel challenge videos?

    Rimfire vs Centerfire

    in Steel Challenge

    Posted

    I shoot RFPO and RFRO because I shoot my centerfire handguns in USPSA matches.  SC gives me a place to play with my rimfire guns, plus rimfires are the fastest guns in the game because you don't need to draw from a holster.  I like speed.  Finally, no having to reload ammunition for the matches or chase brass at the matches.  That is a refreshing break from shooting USPSA.

    I have one on my Steel Challenge RFRO (A Class). I love that big dot! I have had the sight for about 6 months with no issues. The (I think it's 11 MOA) dot only covers a bit less that 3 inches at 25 yards, so it's not as big as it may sound. But a 3 MOA dot only covers 3/4 inches at 25 yards. It works for me.

    GOF, thank you for the info. It is an 11moa dot, you are correct. I have a 10moa CMORE RTS2 on an G17 and I like the large dot. I figured a large dot on a rimfire for steel might be sweet paired with the larger glass. 
    thanks again.

    Is anyone using this optic?  I have the BFF3 in 3moa and 8moa flavors and I like both, with the 8moa being superior to the 3moa for speed steel.

    I particularly like them for use on rimfire pistols due to the thin lense housing.  I also like the top load battery feature.  the glass is on the small end of the spectrum and that is what has me interested in the BFF4 because it appears, in photos, to have a much larger glass and retains the thin lense housing. Plus, the four reticles seems useful, particularly the 10moa circle dot.  

    So, if anyone has experience with this optic, please chime in.

    Tunachaser, that is a very nice pistol. Thank you for sharing it.  I have two Accushadows with DPPs on them but I am seriously considering converting an SP01 with a bull shadow top end such as you have done here.  It will be that or buying a P320 Max.

    I am thinking of adding a Bull Shadow top end to my cache of options to run on my SP01 frames.  

    Does anyone have one and if so, what are your thoughts on how they feel as compared to an Accushadow.

    Pics would be awesome.  Thank you. 

    Limited optics Vs Open

    Fwiw I pulled out my 2011 limited 40, put a dot on it, egw adaptor, and loaded up some minor loads.

    Still not putting the revolver up, but I'd bet that I won't be alone at local matches in LO.

    Kind of excited about it too.

    Here here.  I jus outfitted a second CZ75 SP01 Shadow for LO. same as my CO gun with thinner aluminum grips so I can reach the thumb safety, magwell and thumb rest.  Will run in a Guga Ribas race holster.  Kind of excited myself.  🙂

    Not sure I see the point? It's the same thing as CO but with higher HF classifiers.

    Some clubs in my area have the option to shoot the match sat. and sun. I will be able to shoot CO one day and LO the other day using optic-equipped guns in two divisions that are not open division as I do not have nor want an open gun. Sounds like fun to me. Fun is the point, for me. I haven't given a single thought to classifiers.

    Who plans to try limited optics with their current carry optics gun with or without the addition of a magwell?  I would include setting up a second gun of the same type as your carry optics gun but with a magwell added as the same as using your carry optics gun.  I am setting up a second AccuShadow with a magwell for limited optics as my carry optics gun is an AccuShadow.  I get 23 reloadable in my magazines and the trigger is plenty good enough.  I am just wondering if I am alone in this approach, or are other people planning to do similar. 

    I forget, what did we not like about gen3 guns?

    Any real differences I can't notice when shooting in a match environmen at speed. That being said the only reason I prefer the gen5s is I don't like the finger grooves.

    My current CO gun is a gen 2 G17.  Replaced mag release with extended release.  Steel recoil system. Brass grip plug. Milled for C-more rts2.  Done. Works great. I love the smooth front strap on the gen 2 guns, and I love the old school dust cover with no rail. I have G19-3 and filed of the finger bumps immediately.  

    IPSC How To: How NOT to DQ

    in Match Screw-ups

    Posted

    I saw this at a local match. Shooter reports to start location which is facing up range and requires a turn -- Fluffy's Revenge 2.  Shooter waits for the make ready.  RO does not give it.  Shooter says to RO I am waiting for the make ready so I can practice my turn.  RO says, you can practice your turn before I give the make ready.  Shooter faces up range, then turns and draws his pistol to air gun the stage.  He does this twice.  No make ready was given.  Nobody said anything, including me.  Shooter finishes his air gunning, RO gives make ready, shooter shoots the classifier.  The poor shooter had DQed with, in my opinion, the unwitting help of the RO.  I don't believe either of them were aware.  I was no on the tablet.

    Remembering Ammo

    in Match Screw-ups

    Posted · Edited by lawboy

    During match season, I leave 200 rounds of ammo in the trunk of the car at all times.  The ammo never leaves the vehicle.  That way I always have ammo for a reshoot, or for a brain fart where I left my intended ammo at home.  I have left my intended ammo at home and I have used the emergency ammo to carry on.  No one was the wiser.  🙂 

    I have the same rule for batteries for optics and shot timer and hearing protection. A package of every type I need remains in the car really year round.  If I am at a match chances are I drove there and will have batteries.  I also have a set in my range bag just in case I got a ride with someone else.  I have used the batteries for one device or another several times and many more times, given them to some other shooter whose optic died or earmuffs shut down.  

    Glock 17 for CO and RFPO am I nuts

    in Steel Challenge

    Posted

    Planning to run one Glock with two top ends this season and try to make master in both divisions. Is that crazy?

    I have shot a few matches every year for several years using a 2022 conversion gun in RFPO and various other 22s in RFPI, and TacSo rifle in RFRO. 

    I was never too serious but this year I have set some goals and plan to run the Glock.  I shoot my 2022s better than the Glock conversion but I think with some dry and live fire training, which I have started, I will be able to raise my performance with the Glock and get to Master this season.

    Is that misguided? Should I stick with the 2022 for RFPO?  Interested in opinions more informed than my own.
