    SIG P320MAX

    Cost-wise, the Max seems like a Legion + a Romeo 3.  Is there anything I'm missing there?--any you get 4 mags.

     

    Or, is the Legion the more versatile choice, optic-wise?

     

     

    Steel Challenge--Ready to Race: Ruger v. TacSol v. Bergara BXR v. TC v. Other....

    in Steel Challenge

    Posted

    All,

     

    Looking to set up a 10/22 for Steel Challenge.  Wondering if users here have any experience comparing the Ruger Competition, the TacSol X-Ring, and the new Bergara BXR Carbon Fiber.  

     

    I can't find a Bergara anywhere--but the weight and cost are great features.  

     

    I've got a couple of 10/22s--i could also just hot rod one of those, too.

     

    Weigh in if you're in the know

    I must be one of the few that doesn't like their holster.  Granted, I only have experience with a single holster for a 5" 2011 but the fit was horrible.  I tried to return it but after the whole restocking fee and shipping brick wall I just threw it in the drawer with the other misfit holsters.  I choose Weber Tactical but I fully understand that opinions and experiences can vary and holsers/mag pouches can be a personal thing.

     

    And I believe USPSA gives you 10% off as well.

     

    what advantages does Weber offer?  (not trying to bag on either manufacturer, and you're someone that has handled them both).  

     

    I like the idea of the RHT with the lower ejection port cut, where Weber does not seem to have that feature.

    Dawson will still do the treatment if you call and ask them. Good Luck

     

     

    They had "Dawson tuned" trojans on the site for a while.  I finally had enough coin to buy one, and they aren't offered (but a stock trojan is).  I asked if they would tune one and they said "no."

     

    9mm 1911, is it ok for idpa?

    Bret's comments above pretty much nails it. Also, since the most recent rulebook changes, I can't guarantee this to still be 100% accurate. But the trade-off of 9 mm versus 45 ACP is simply capacity versus power factor, 9mm is loaded to 9 cartidges in the magazine and 1 in the chamber upon the "load and make ready" command, whereas 45 ACP is loaded to 7 cartidges in the magazine and 1 in the chamber upon the "load and make ready" command. Also, 9mm is minor power factor and 45 ACP is major power factor. Qualitatively, 9mm can be operated faster due to less recoil, but requires more accuracy, whereas 45 ACP has greater recoil but scores higher at major PF. A rough rule of thumb comparison I typically used when shooting IDPA, is a target scoring two Alpha's using 9 mm (minor PF) is roughly equivalent to 45 ACP scoring one Alpha and one Bravo at major PF.

     

    IDPA scores differently for minor and major power factors?

    SS Minor disadvantage at Lo-Cap Nationals?

    It's better to go limited major and save SS for special occasions.  ;) I love shooting SS but I have been learning and progressing much more quickly shooting limited.  

    That's not the question, e.g., what division should i start?  

     

    The question is between minor and major SS starting from step one (and while you didn't say it, without regard to penis size, "manliness," "45ACP, because they don't make a 46!," or "9mm is for 'insert slur here....'")

     People who aren't winning would be far better served by practicing than by stressing out about guns.

     

    i don't think anyone is stressing out here.  ultimately, while different than the original question, if one decided to start from the beginning without owning a 1911 for single stack, is it better to go major or minor? 

     

    once the selection is made, then the competitor can go practice and not stress about guns.  

    SS Minor disadvantage at Lo-Cap Nationals?

    I've read many a thread on here that the "SS Nationals" biased stage design to elimination any (real or perceived) advantage a SS minor shooter would have by designing stages to favor 8 rounders.  

     

    My question is this--I'm assuming the "SS Nationals" was run by the the now-defunct Single Stack Society (or 1911 society or whatever it was called).  Is that correct?   

     

    If so, or not, is there a disadvantage (by stage design bias) to SS Minor in the USPSA Lo-Cap Nationals where L10 and Production shooters will be participating on the same stages, versus an all-SS match such as the SS Nationals?  

     

    Ultimately, the question comes down to this--were you to go to the Lo-Cap Nationals match, would you go minor or major in SS?   

     

    Or, if any of these assumptions are wrong, please let me know (am I confusing "SS Nationals" with "SS Classic....")

     Whoops 

    this is what he said--who knows, maybe they're the same, but it appears the 512c will be an upgraded 510c instead of the larger 512T, which seems to look more like a Vortex UH-1
