safety applied if it has one? no 180 or muzzling issues?

They also have a smooth grip that you can use grip tape on or do your own carbide and epoxy grip. It's even less $.
any feedback on the black mtn vs cheely etc?
-
loving the aggressive steel grips on my most recent 2011s. would like to get similar but aluminum (lighter) for my sti steelmaster. cheely seem oos and mpa says they stopped selling their grips. i see vulcan machine works who milled one of my 2011s for an optic, but they're a tad expensive although it looks like they do the fitting.
any recommendations?
i've stripped 2011s and others all the way down and back and replaced/fitted extractors and ejectors, trigger groups, etc but wouldn't consider myself a gunsmith. any big fitment issues to be aware of?
thanks!

whaaaaaat, that is friggin ridiculous. certainly some if not most, of the dq-able events in uspsa (180, handling ammo at the safe table, removing holster with gun in it not at a safe table, handling your gun outside a safe area, etc) have no bearing on actually being safe outside of a match.
on a more practical matter, are the cops really going to keep a list somewhere of all this? public or private, where is it posted or saved, who is responsible for updating and checking accuracy? does this list include issues outside of competitive shooting - guy puts one thru the floorboard or a wall in his house, etc?
perhaps this is just an April 1 thing a few days early...

i always thought, perhaps incorrectly, that energy (1/2mv^2) was a more applicable measurement for felt recoil / muzzle jump than power factor/momentum (m*v). seems borne out by saying heavy but slower bullets have less recoil than lighter but faster bullets, when both are loaded to the same pf.
-
answers probably skewed by age. ~60 now i'm not a fan of really low ports or 25yd dashes. but one every once in a while i won't complain too much because something like that may come up in real life. but i do go to matches to shoot and not conserve ammo so like a higher round count.

Too bad they're a pain to load!
man that d60 is a pita to load!
used one on a stage recently and the rifle was doubling and even tripling! they were awkward offhand shots and i guess my bad form combined with the extra weight from the extra ammo had me essentially bumpfiring! i shot a coupled 30 rounder (same extra weight vs a single 30 rounder) on another stage but it was prone or supported, with zero issues.
-
on a stage where 30 is more than adequate, i think using coupled just increases the effort to dumping the gun in a barrel, more bulk and mass to catch on the barrel or barricades etc. ditto with a 40.

The older Edge and Eagle guns were well built and very classic looking. Miss that look.

iirc, 69 smk, 24.0 varget, 2.25 oal. small rifle primer (or match). basically i was trying to mimic the black hills blue box reloads that worked great for me.

orlando is showing 1:15 or so away SE. volusia county gun club and central florida rifle and pistol club both do uspsa and other similar games.

BTW
both hands to the same side seems to me to be a great way to sweep the support hand on the draw.
My first thought.
But try some hands positions and see what works for you. As noted above, legal unless wsb says otherwise.

Sounds like it's a keeper, congrats!

you have the set screws loosened of course?

my first criteria for a pcc is one that takes glock mags. i am sure i wouldn't buy one that took 2011 mags. and i have a handful if not more, of 2011's... most run flawlessly but generally if there is a problem, it seems to usually be mag-related. plus, i haven't seen any 2011 drums yet...

looking to avoid being the only participant in Limited-10.
easy enough to do at sign in at the match or even at the start of your first stage. but you can look the day before at the 'match breakdown' button in practiscore and have a pretty good idea of how many are registered in each division and change your division then if you want to.
-
like all above, if a mag hits the ground it gets cleaned or put away to clean at home. generally clean all mags before the next match, same with the 2011. i'm slow enough as it is, don't need my equipment to become the weak link...
-
take the first shot or two slow and see where you're hitting. or blast away and check your targets after the first stage. some matches may have a spare bay where you can check. not sure of the legality, but maybe ask the RO if you can fire a test shot before you make ready for the COF.

fyi you can get mpa 'regular' 2011's for $2800 at shooters connection and elsewhere. i have one, pretty nice gun, pretty sure it won't be holding too many folks back.
-
i'm going to stick with my open gun (2011 and frame mounted optic and comp), just a little funner. but i can def see the allure of LO and in fact some of the local multigun (non uspsa) matches have divisions for co/lo guns without being put in Open so there is some crossover.

THe XC us a 4.6" barrel with a single port comp to make 5"
gotcha. couple of guys were shooting XC's in Open at a local 2 gun match, seemed like a pretty smooth gun.

I just got a Staccato XL (5.4") two weeks ago and it shoots softer/flatter than my P and XC. It is a pure joy to shoot.
the xc is 5" barrel and then a comp, or 5" with the comp/port? i'd think just slightly shorter than the xl but with a comp/port, the xc would be the flatter/softer one, but guess not.

feedback on trijicon rmr hd? looks like always on but i guess just change the battery annually or even quarterly. i guess you could do the same with sro. both are expensive options. will look at holo and shield.

oh cmon, stick with 38 super, it's cool! just buy new brass. powder ain't spilling over. believe the longer 38 feeds a slight bit better than 9 (so i've heard).
