Using a BladeTech dropped offset holster for my 2011 then going to a race holster. Before setting up the race holster for low draw and being new to me, I just did some dry firing. About 5 draws in, I noticed something was different, and I liked it. To me it seemed drawing from a higher position, there was less momentum bringing the gun up giving me more control and that's the way it has stayed since.

Kurt, I need to get this done to my M2. Are you saying Accurate Iron is the only game in town here, or is there someone that may be a little more accessible?

As a new shooter, I seem to recall all of the coaching I received was after the COF which makes the most sense and I then have time to process the new information. I don't know how safe it is to try to coach a new shooter who has hearing protection and a loaded gun in their hands. Now, as an experienced shooter who doesn't shoot any major matches and hear the phase "it's just a club match" when something questionable happens with an experienced shooter or "hey, you forgot those targets". I don't see it a lot, but when I do, I'm sorry it does bother me a bit.

I've just been dry firing 3-4 nights a week 30-45 minutes for about the last 3-4 months. I dried fired before then, but now much more discipline and structure. It might still be a little too early to tell, but I do feel more confident in the matches. I know I need to shoot more which is only twice a month right now.

If it's on a 2011 I don't mind. I just don't see why someone would want a flat trigger which hinges at the top, but then again, I didn't think I would like it on a 2011 either.

It's been a while since I had mine, but I don't remember it being too hard to load the magazines except for when they were new. The think I do remember is the slide being very hard to pull back.

I guess I've been shooting matches going on 3 years and I still wait for these commands, shouldn't everyone?

I love the way those guns look and I hope they shoot as nice as they look, but I could not see myself spending $2000 more on a $500 gun. If I had money just falling our of my pockets, sure, why not. For now, give me a Limited 2011 for that price.

I see they sell one that is offset. It says they stick out about 3/4 inch further away from the body. I'm guessing those are still legal in Production?

That's what I like to hear.

Come on, no black? I used to not worry about and just let the adrenaline do it's job. I must be getting older and wiser, I prefer comfort over adrenaline.

Thanks Jesse. I'm still waiting to see if I have any use for either one next year. I may just need to make a Red Dirt match sometime, I just wish they weren't on Sundays.

I'll be shooting an IDPA match next month when my brother is visiting. Due to time constraints, that's the best choice. He has it down, but I'm thinking shoot it like USPSA, what's a few procedurals.

I have two DAA Compeition mag pouches which I will be replacing soon. I have found my left hand grabbing the thumb screws along with my magazines. One thing that really irritated me about them was putting them on my DAA belt, it was not an easy task. According to them, they make their belts thicker for a reason, so why wouldn't they add longer screws for their own mag pouches.

I believe when I have a bad day at practice it's because I'm going faster than I should and it's time to slow down. If I think it something else, then it's time to stop shooting or I'm just wasting ammo.
