It really depends on what your budget is and where you see yourself going in the sport. The two best out on the market are the CWA custom pistols with the double stack width grip (what I shoot) and the Volquartsen scorpion. I have tried them all and if I was not going to make this type of investment, I would go Ruger 22/45 all day. Some people like the Lites, but I prefer the heavier gun. Which ever direction you head, I recommend getting a threaded compensator. I would then add Tandemkross goodies as budget opens up.
I hope this helps!
SteveSteve - Do you have any experience with the CWA conversion kits?

The Leopold FireDot reticle may work for you. Around $1400

The Vortex Crossfire II has a red dot reticle but it's only 1 -4 power:

Hey @Tampa-XD45did you end up finding much out in that area?
I found these 3 locations:
-
I run my Glock mags (with & without TT extensions) maxed out. My stock JP GMR runs fine with full mags. I download a few rounds when a stage requires a reload.

I would recommend spending $25 on the Williams Firesite set and you'll be ready to go for RFRI.

Stock fit is the challenge for RFRI. Most AR type stocks put your head too high for iron sights. The original 10/22 stock is a good fit for irons. You already know the trigger options.
The cool kids run these $260 barrels: https://tacticalsol.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=1366893&CAT=13324
Here's my RFRI setup with a stock 10/22 leftover barrel. I used a poor man's milling machine setup to mill a slot in the left side, drilled & tapped the bolt for a handle.

Shoot the Ruger MKii that you already own. There are a ton of upgrades for it if you think the gun is holding you back.

I am really, really sorry to resurrect such an old thread. But... how in the world do you change the mainspring on a Mk III? I bought a new one from Ruger hoping to solve some ignition issues (already changed the firing pin) with Eley Force ammo, but I cannot figure out how to take the mainspring out of the housing.
Check out these 2 videos:

I like the sport pistol for light loads in steel challenge, cleaner than many others I've used
What load are you running for steel?

Here's a video that may be helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQnvGx8JRd0

I use the 6 moa Venom on a 45 mount. I pick up the larger dot quicker than a smaller dot.
-
I use the Holosun 507c with a similar mount (Raptor) and have not run into the problems you're having. Is it a new sight? Do you have access to a laser bore sight?

Yeah. I talked to Todd about this yesterday. It's 2 oz. heavier than my Axiom stock. I'm trying to decide if the adjustability is worth it to me.
Another consideration ... is it $275 better than the Axiom stock? Not to me but someone will try it out and report on it.

Looks like another choice for 10/22 competition stocks:

I use my 617 for Speed Challenge and to practice for icore when I work on cardio movements. I did my trigger and you can see I had a custom barrel done. Great gun. I use manly Blazers. Never a problem.
Looks good. Who did the cylinder & barrel work?

Wouldn't any regular picatinny riser work? https://www.cheaperthandirt.com/parts-and-accessories/parts-by-gun-model/ar-15/mounts/riser-rails/

I use a 6 MOA Vortex Venom which I've been very happy with. It's personal preference but I would not want a 2nd full size red dot blocking some of your view when transition to the next target.

Google search shows an indoor match in Brevard every Thursday, and a monthly outdoor match in Burnsville. Any other regular matches in western NC?

Does it have a heater feature?
Yes. Check it out: https://www.harborfreight.com/25-liter-ultrasonic-cleaner-63256.html

The Hornady is 2 liter capacity for $105.
The Harbor Freight is 2.5 liter capacity for $80 plus they always have 20%-off coupons . I've used the Harbor Freight model for 5 years.
They are nice to have on hand and don't take up a lot of space. Wipe the major gunk off of parts before ultrasonic cleaning and your solution will last a lot longer. I've also used it for small amounts of brass cleaning.

1. Polishing is easy. It's not rocket science and it's a finesse task. RPM speed isn't critical because you're going apply pressure slowly (remember ... finesse)
2. If you have a Harbor Freight near you, they have rotary tools and tons of accessories for half of what you would pay in a big box store or Amazon.
3. Here's an example of polishing on Glock trigger parts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_edmc5iih0E Tons of other videos out there.
4. Get some metal polish. I use Flitz but they're all pretty similar. Some guys even use toothpaste. Just a mild abrasive.
5. Feel the part you're going to polish for roughness. Sometimes you need to remove metal before polishing. If you polish a rough Glock trigger bar, you'll end up with a trigger bar that's still rough but now shiny from being polished. Remove metal by hand with sandpaper, nail files, metal files, not with your Dremel.
6. Move other parts out of the way or cover them cuz the metal polish will fly all over your workbench. A face shield also helps. I cup my hand over the Dremel bit when I turn it on to catch the excess polish.
7. The safety plunger was much harder to round over than I expected. Really hard steel. I chucked it in a drill press and used various metal files to round over the bevel before polishing.
Have fun.

Pistol Magazine Capacity Rules

As Bill posted, some divisions do have "Maximum ammunition capacity" limits. You need to look in the SCSA rules appendix for the division you want to shoot. Rimfire divisions (appendix H7 and H8) have no ammo limits. Production (listed below) does have a limit.
