    Ipsc Production Gun Changes

    in USPSA/IPSC Rules

    Posted

    This has got to be one of the most frustrating things that's come about in IPSC in....well, in IPSC history. I can only imagine how I would feel if I were a gun company executive/owner or such. We've got enough on our hands fighting outside battles with public opinion, legal restrictions, environmental protection issues, and do I have to even mention law suits? We just can't keep changing the rules and slamming doors in the faces of our shooters and sponsors. Some clearly defined requirements need to be set in stone and once a gun is on the list it should remain on the list. Turning coat after the fact is a seriously low blow....

    I have enjoyed all the input so far, thanks. All this preaching to the choir has made me hungry, I'll catch y'all later. :D

    I was just pointing out that the thread was supposed to be about "Women We Love" and then I thought it would be funny to say that we should leave our wives off the list and.............................................................oh forget it. :wacko:

    I was just trying to be funny, Patrick. Carry on, men.

    Who said the women had to be athletes?????

    That's just it, I don't remember anyone making any requirements or restrictions. The thread was supposed to be about "Women We Love". It's all about free love, man...

    Uhm, no wives please.

    Extended on Glock?

    in USPSA/IPSC Rules

    Posted

    I'd like to add the extended mag/slide release to a G22. Please tell me why it's legal and where I can go to see the final official word.

    Splash,

    I think it's more of a "innocent until proven otherwise" situation. The extended slide and mag release are Glock O.E.M. parts and are not specifically prohibited, so they're legal, as are the factory base pads for the Beretta and (now the new) CZ.

    The Quest for the Sub 3 El Prez

    in Skills

    Posted

    Welcome aboard Boo,

    For what it's worth, I voted "no" in the poll, just because it was the first answer that popped into my head. That doesn't mean it actually can't be done, it was just my opinion at the time the thread opened. Everybody's entitled to their opinion guys, including Boo. I don't think he's calling anyone a liar or trying to disrespect anyone. Even Thomas needed to stick his hand into the wounds....

    I am a hockey fan

    Hockey, what's that? Oh, you mean the activity formerly known as the professional sport of hockey. :lol: No offense Boo, I couldn't resist. Nice avatar, by the way.

    Duane,

    How is shooting an El Prez with minor ammo (and production gear) less impressive? The scoring penalty makes it tougher in my book. Unless of course, you're counting any hits. I can't wait to go back to major scoring one day. :P

    Regards,

    Dryfiring - Do I need a target?

    in Training Techniques

    Posted

    Flex brings up a very good point. Shooting is mostly a visual/mental skill, not just raw mechanics. That's not to say that dry firing to improve your gun handling mechanics is not very important, because it is. So, take your pick: gun, target, or gun and target. I "dry fire" all the time without a gun. I'm training my vision because I can only shoot A's as fast as I can see them. :D

    CZ 75 IPSC STD

    in 10mm/40 Caliber

    Posted

    I'm about to start reloading for my CZ75 IPSC std, 40 S&W for limited (major, I hope). Anybody out there have any suggestions for an OAL to try? I'm not sure how long a cartridge will fit in the magazines. Should I just start with the longest that will fit in the mags and see if they will function in the gun? I will be using MG 180 gr CMJ's and Titegroup. Thanks.

    Just be sure the bullet is not contacting the rifling. Let us know what you come up with for a max COL, thanks.

    Carlos, what say you?

    So I guess the new platform is to your liking? Thats an awesome run...

    Thanks Matt, yah, the gun's fine. I feel that it's got a lot to offer for the Production shooter, but now more than ever I believe that it's shooter. We've all heard it and said a hundred times before but I believe it and I feel it now! Hope to see you on the range soon bro...

    Just so I'm clear, it's at 10 yards, right?

    Yep...10 yds, back to targets & wrists above shoulders too. :D

    I did a 4.36 w/ 8-alphas & 4-charlies yesterday with my CZ-85. That's only 1.37 seconds away from winning this contest. :lol:

    And yes Skipper, I was consistantly in the mid to high 4's with my hits (not always pretty ones though), how 'bout that. I guess there is something to be said for reaching for the stars, cause that was by far my best run ever and it was too cold out for my taste to boot. :P

    Good luck guys.

    Something really cool just happened

    That's awesome Sam, you know they have a .22LR conversion for the 75/85 as well right? It's called the Kadet. I can't say much about it as I haven't tested it yet, but it looks pretty sweet and I'd love to get my hans on one. I just have to wait a bit. It's on my "things to beg for:" list. :D

    Thanks a lot guys! I am totally stoked and ready to enjoy this new season.

    And mcoliver, I'm still a newbie at CZ but the best I can tell, the 85 Combat (vs. the 85B) has an overtravel stop for the trigger and NO firing pin block safety. And BTW, a huge "Thank You" to Angus Hobdell for all his help and support, what a great guy!
