Slippery might of been a bit harsh on my part. I could for sure shoot his gun as is and I think I'd be fine. But I wouldn't describe it anything like what you're saying yours is. And he seemed really happy with everything about the gun but the grip. And it would suck to spend that much and something that major not be to your liking.

I assume IDPA that's a Aluminum grip? I have a buddy that got one that's Aluminum for IDPA and it was supposed to be the aggressive one but it felt almost slippery. Your post makes me think they gave him the wrong grip TBH. Talon grips are more aggressive then his MPA grip.

Around here CO is also the clear winner. But, you have lots of iron sight 9mm divisions in IDPA. CCP and ESP are basically the same division now and SSP just gets 5 more rounds. We might have 25 in CO and 15 to 18 shooting irons just split between those divisions. SSP numbers did improve a little. I guess people see 5 more rounds as a bigger deal then a magwell

A8 always fills with in minutes. This year last I checked only had like 250 registered.

Don't they have to basically sue everyone who uses it? So like every club in the country currently running HF matches. If that's right, I wonder how much we'll pay our lawyers for that.

Let's check the minutes....oh wait.

So people will call it points per second or similar. They can't trademark math.

So that's like 8 bumps to master or more depending how many MA's get beaten too. 9th Ex was 42nd in CO and beat 47 MA and EX combined. So he should get a bump to MA. So 9 new Masters in one match.

Yeah, in IDPA 15 almost seems worse. Typically in IDPA I see more 6-6-6 stages. Really common. So you end up either round dumping more or tac-loading. But, I've only shot one match in SSP since that change. It just seems like stages are either built with 10 round guns in mind, or 6 shot revolvers. Nothing else.

Readings posts about 8888 stages I'm happy to live somewhere that doesn't do that at least. But we see our own problems.

With LO being part of the match from the start I think iron sight shooters better not waist any time signing up. I imagine tons of CO shooters will jump at a chance for another bite at the apple. I expect all iron sight divisions to be in worse shape this year vs last.

Yeah, I'm sure a few are upset. Obviously not many since Prod is so small to begin with. While I haven't shot prod 15 I have shot CO 15 a few times. It'll no doubt change the way production is played, and take some getting used too. I wouldn't be surprised for some people to quit the sport and others to jump to SS. I think that will happen with any rule change to a existing division.

Did anyone expect day one for Production to explode? That seems silly. If production participation just manages to hold over the next couple years, that's probably a win. If numbers drop then it either did nothing or made it worse. Most people that left spent a bunch of money on new gear, they're not likely to just drop that stuff and go back. There are no uspsa matches near me until March and that depends on the weather. First match of the year I'd expect 80% of the shooters wont even know Production is a 15 round division. I've was thinking about it, but I leaning towards just selling my two production guns to buy another 2011.

TGO = The Great One = Rob Leatham.

There is almost zero need for a tac load in todays IDPA. I can't remember the last time I did one.

I remember seeing mention somewhere of a infinity open shooter running around a 1 lbs or under and replacing the trigger parts after some number of rounds that seemed like to much trouble to me. 50k doesn't seem to bad, that's a few years for me. I spoke to a guy recently at a club match that was running a 10 oz trigger. I handled it at the safe table, pretty sick for sure. Impressive he could do that. I didn't even think to ask him how long it would stay in spec like that. If I see him again I'll ask just because I'm curious.

It sub 2 lbs triggers are lasting 80k rounds without adjusting the spring, I'm not to worried about it either way. Generally I don't go under 2 anyway. I've handled sub 1 lbs triggers, but I really don't see the point in that.

That didn't really answer his question though. Why would a spring under less tension not last as long as one with more? I find it hard to imagine the sear spring really wearing out when it's barely doing anything on a light trigger.

He could still shoot SS, but like I said I get him and James not going head to head in the same division. I still think they should make a 2011. And not a fake Ruger 2011, like Ruger should just make one. I asked Dave if they were going to recently but his non-answer was hard to read. It was either a "They are but I can't say they are" or "I told them that but they wont". He didn't really use any words, it was more of grunts, noises and hand gestures. Hard to explain, but did not give me a answer. I'd consider a Ruger 2011. Pretty much zero interest in anything else they make.

It's really confusing, and if you don't know what you're looking for I can see someone watching it done correctly and then not doing it correctly themselves and not even realizing it. Sometimes it's as little as pick one foot up step over fault line and fire one more shot. Vary subtle difference to catch in a split second. See if I can explain this right. I shot a stage that at at a level 2 last year. From p1 there were 3 targets two close 1 far. Depending where you stand you might not be able to see one of the close targets due to a vision barrier. But, since vision barriers aren't cover you should be required to shoot both close then the far target. But you we're allowed to shoot close, far close because the target that you couldn't see you weren't exposed too. You could see this target at P2 also. So it was asked can I just not engage it and wait until I get to p2? No because it's behind a vision barrier and you're exposed to it so it must be engaged before leaving P1. Gets worse, at position 2 there was three targets you had to shoot in order. The second target was behind a vision barrier and needed to be activated to see it. You couldn't shoot the 1st and third then activate. You had to shoot the activated target second because it's behind a vision barrier. I'm probably screwing this up to some extent, it was super confusing but to sum it up they were handling vision barriers differently from position to position within a single stage. The SO didn't seem super sharp, I blame it on that. I just shot it the way he told me too.

You also dropped the bullet weight by 21%, And you increased the case volume considerably too.

Especially the 5's of people shooting revolver division.

I see walls and barrels used as VB. Most walls you can see through for safety reasons. If you ask about shooting through a VB you'll be told no and possible DQ'd for intentionally shooting their walls. It's easier to just round dump in the open and move on. I've seen this from the club level to level 3 matches. Not anything higher then 3 in this area.

Maybe, L10 is rarely recognized though. I get not wanting to shoot against each other in SS I guess. Ruger needs to just get on the band wagon and build a 2011 already. Then see if they'll jump into some real divisions.

I rarely see Dave or James shooting revolver. Mostly you'll see Dave in L10 and James in SS. When shooting IDPA they're in CDP and ESP. There are other revolver shooters I stumble across, probably 3-5 of them ranging from A class to C class. I shot revolver like 7-8 years ago now.
