I started shooting USPSA About two years ago when I finally acquired my first pistol. I bought a used EAA Wtiness in 9mm and found great hi-cap mags and extensions that gave me a capacity of 20 rounds per mag. I had the fortune of local shooter helping me out and hand-me-downs of a safariland 009 and three 771 mag pouches for a Caspian were very appreciative. Due to school and work (still in college, Texas A&M University), I haven't shot as many matches with this setup as I would like too(but then who shoots as much as they want to) but have done very well I think based on my equipment. When I get to shoot on a regular basis, I find that my scores jump tremndously and I can compete with the big boys in our local clubs shooting minor to their limited race guns. The speed helps alot but accuracy is what will decide if it is worth it. IF i don't but once in a while, I will show up at a match and finish top 1/4 of limited overall (I think by next month I will be getting my A card, took me a while to find classifiers) If I shoot for a while and have some practice, I will place top 2 limited shooting minor. On more than once I have won a match outright over open guns but I think that was more them having a bad day as well. I am not saying it is for eveybody, but the pure speed that can come out of it for a newbie is probably not a good thing. Most would try to spray and pray and that isn't good, especially for minor scoring. I have shot a couple of matches with borrowed .40 STI's and Para's and have done even better with a .40 major, but it is doable to run a minor 9mm or super in limited. IT isn't even but with less recoil and more capacity, it almost makes it worth it and it si always fun! William A-45421 Texas South Section Area 4
