Plenty of opportunities to shoot USPSA within an hour or so of Charlotte.
Spartanburg Pratical shooters is the 1st and 4tn Sat
Rowan Practical Shooters is the 2nd Sat
CGGR is the 3rd Saturday
There are several others in the surrounding area as well if you’re interested.
Interesting to see how many people try to tell other people, who they likely don’t even know, how to enjoy their lives.
To the OP, you do you man! Have fun and be safe and ignore the BS from the trolls.
I ended up ordering the BA Hanson 16” barrel. I think it will be fine for me to learn on. Can always swap it out or build another 18” gas length upper later on should I feel the need.
Thanks for all of the advice and insight.

In case anyone is looking for one. There is also a new one listed on Practiscore classifieds.
I upgraded from a 550 to a 650 a couple of years ago and will say the difference was well worth the price paid. The 650 has been much more efficient for me.
