  1. The primary difference is just frame mounted optic, major PF and weight. And I guess capacity unless you live in NJ. Yeah, open guns have bigger comps and more ports. But that's a byproduct of the major power factor.
  2. He's in NJ...and really anywhere in the North East I wouldn't be surprised by this at all. Even gun people are anti 2A here. Example, I know a local training company that makes most of it's money on state mandated CCW training. They typically do 25-50 students a week at 300+ each. I've heard the owner say he's talked to his contacts at the state police (he's retired trooper) about increasing the qualifications required to become a instructor. Why? The two other local trainers just meet that minimum and this would put them out of business. This would likely put lots of trainers across the state out of business reducing the supply of the mandated CCW classes and likely lead to a sharp increase in the cost of classes from who ever remains. Supply and demand after all. In the NE this is the thinking of Pro 2A people, imagine what the other side thinks.
  3. A few IDPA clubs will DQ for that, as their rules allow it. USPSA rules don't allow for that as far as I know. I probably wouldn't report a round over the berm unless the law requires it. Solid chance in most places you'll find ranges in this country it doesn't damage anything when it comes down. But, it is your round and you're responsible for what ever it does hit. I've seen a few go over since I started doing this.
  4. Our club skeet is kind of dying off anyway. It's mostly trap, and 5 stand, soon to be a full sporting clays range. Pistol guys get one 25 yard deep pit maybe 15 yards wide. That's it for a 750 member club.
  5. I like skeet and trap too, but some of the older gentlemen at our club do not like pistol guys at all.
  6. I've had clubs mention they keep track if you send one over the berm. Then if anyone comes asking about a round at a certain time they can point them at you. PS pretty much logs this anyway. If what you're saying is true, I'd say who ever asked doesn't want uspsa at your club. Might just be a scare tactic. Your club have a lot of skeet and trap shooters?
  7. How much is considered bulk and what kind of price are we talking? I think I get 147 coated for like 7.xx cents or so. 125's might be 6.xx cents.
  8. It's pretty lame they wont even work on their own guns. Probably a place I'd avoid.
  9. My stock Staccato CS doesn't like these primers. It's possible they were seated 100%, but my other 2011 with a 15 lbs hammer spring and ext. firing pin has no trouble with them.
  10. I wonder, do the number of guys who are classified in a division they don't really shoot screw with your numbers on how many should be classified where? Looking at my numbers, I'm G in a couple divisions. But Production I'm 73% M. So the system is seeing me as way over classified based on the small sample of classifiers I've shot in that division. This is a really common thing to see. So it's not crazy to think a lot of those limited shooters that look over classified don't shoot limited a ton. Plus the fact that limited is basically dead, so there could be a lot of really old classifier data in there. If those people don't shoot anymore or switched to a different division they could be better now then there were then and it not be reflected. Really neat page to play with.
  11. It's all feel and what you like. I think light weight guns might benefit from the perceived softness of heavy bullets. Where as a lot of these new LO 2011's that are pretty heavy might be better with the faster feeling lighter bullets. But it's all pretty subjective and what you like. In reality once you get used to your load it's not going to have any real effect on the outcome of your match assuming it works in your gun 100% of the time.
  12. Do you do doubles like bop,bop.......bop,bop......bop,bop....? like a set of 3 or 4 pairs. That's typically how I do them. Want to try trigger that flinch a little more. Use a timer, on the beep shoot the pair, and repeat. That can help to induce that problem. You have to make the problem happen in practice to really fix it IMO. You have to not tense that hand up or what ever you're doing to drive the gun down.
  13. A 2011 builder advertises his guns are tuned to return to zero perfectly. Really, the slide comes back with more force then it returns with. The gun can't return itself, so you have to do it. With some guns you'll need to do more than others. But, shooting low is you over returning the gun or tensing up etc. It makes sense the guns behave differently and that you'll shoot one better then the other because of that. But, it's not really the gun it's still you. There's nothing wrong with trying lighter recoil springs to help reduce the problem. It's not a fix, it's more of a cover up. Don't take this wrong, I push shots low too. It's a struggle that will likely never completely go away.
  14. Even though it's happening just on one gun, I'd still bet it's you. With proper grip you should be able to return the gun pretty consistently no matter the slide length or recoil spring weight. Stuff like "prefect zero" talking about the gun just returning itself is just marketing. Really, you should be pushing harder. If you're shooting 19's with the 45. What happens if you shoot 16's? What happens if you back up to 7 or 10 yards? If you're consistently putting doubles in a inch it's time to push, you're going to slow.
  15. Lol, clueless. You're trolling right?? This isn't a uncommon attitude of someone who doesn't really understand. If it helps, shooting slow and moving slow makes the shooting tremendously easier. For the GM's to have a shot they need to be going as fast as they can, and if while doing that if they don't make any major mistakes they might have a shot at winning. Also note, Athena Lee isn't GM now. And in 2011 had only shot a single classifier above 85% (87%). Also, the skill level of uspsa shooters is much higher now then it was 12 years ago.
  16. The only real major division left is Open, and I think we can leave that one alone.
  17. Technically he asked about "general barrel fit". Then followed up with the statement you quoted about the bushing in a girsan.
  18. That sucks. I had a P01 which I'd guess is about the same size. I got it in the box at the one match I shot it in. But I think my rear sight might of spread the box a little. I forget what I was using for a basepad. Maybe it's something a belt sander can fix. lol.
  19. If you're stuck you probably need to take a class with someone who can point you in the direction you need to go. 3k is a lot in a class, and 5 days is a lot for a class. It sounds like something that would be fun, but more likely a shorter 1 or 2 day class would be cheaper and you might retain the information better. Maybe check out PTSG, lots of good info over there and you can get some video reviews that might point you in a good direction with out taking a class.
  20. Exactly, IDPA attempted to fix their match bump system. I think they were probably hoping to make it so the smaller less popular divisions could still get bumps. The result is now Master is close to the biggest classification in Carry Optics. With 4 or 5 new Masters being made at every level 2+ match in the country. It used to be people would say B class = IDPA Master. Now it's C Class.
  21. Pretty accurate, I got my 2nd G card via winning a level 2 and getting a bump which I didn't know was a thing at the time. I've never hit 95% in that division. But I also stopped shooting irons about then too.
  22. I would disagree. To do well on classifiers you need to be able to draw the gun fast, reload it fast and shoot A's fast. That stuff is pretty important in this game.
  23. Can you explain how they do better? Do you mean they finish a higher % of the winner then they normally do? And if so how would the number of participants change the % they shot?
  24. So like if I shot El prez a bunch that's essentially gaming the system. But if I train my turn and draw on it's own and my reloads and my transitions and run drills that require all that but never shoot el prez that's some how different when El Prez is the classifier? IMO it's dumb not to use classifiers in practice. You can go set one up as a drill and run it and immediately know if you did well or not. How do you know if you're shooting a M or G pace in practice if you've never done it? Running a known drill with data on M's and G's is a good way to figure out the pace. Then you just need to figure out how to always shoot at that pace. At the end of the day that guy that practices classifiers and gets good at them is going to do better then most.
  25. Can you explain to me how it makes bumps easier? If 10 people shoot L10 and Sailer shows up and wins the division and you shoot 75% of him. No bump. If 1,000 people show up and shoot L10 and Sailer shows up, shoots the exact same score and you finish 75% of him you bump to A. You didn't shoot any better but you got a bump. How is the second match harder to get a bump? How many people you beat doesn't effect your bump, and neither does how many beat you. The only thing that matters is your % of the winner. The thing that does effect you is if there are enough G's in contention pushing each other to win. Without that you'll get easy bumps. Which is why I don't think having 50 B and C class shooters matters. How many guys in contention to win is all that matters.
