Patriot Defense makes a billet extractor but I don't know if they are able to export it to your country.

Sorry, got in a rush; it is now SSP 15, ESP still 10... for now. How long will it take them to pander to the double stacks and increase Division Capacity for ESP etc? Thereby obsoleting my single stack.
Probably never, they are protecting people with 1911s.

ESP is 10 rounds

The rules are a lot more relaxed now

The rule used to be the same but I don't see it at all anymore.

Not for Limited Optics I hope

It's helpful for stage planning, figuring out when to move and shoot vs when not to, activator sequences, etc. At least it was for me in the beginning....although there were almost none here when I started. I watched a lot of video then.

My advice would be to start attending matches other than your own match that you run and win. Get a feel for how the local "pros" are shooting and what you need to work on. If any of them offer some coaching on the side, book a day with them, otherwise, find a USPSA oriented instructor to get you started. As others have said, Ben Stoeger has a bunch of media on his youtube page, some are clips of his full classes, some are just rants. Filter out the good stuff (it's very good) and avoid the range politics and his content is terrific.
Once you know what do practice and how, dry fire 10-15 minutes a day. You don't need to spend 2 hours daily doing this. If you are gripping the gun hard and properly your hands will be sore after 15 minutes.
Where are you located?

why I have a rule of seeing stages before paying much..
That being said,,, we talking a few steps back ? or a flat out stick gun over your shoulder and run up range ? The latter I may have seen a handful combined in 30 years.So you never shoot any matches with pre registration?

Most folks calculate what their "reloadable" capacity is and what their "full up" capacity is.
For example, my Limited mags are reloadable at 19 but very tough at 20. The mags on the belt are all at 19, but the one in the gun is a "barney'ed up" 20 (meaning 20 in the mag and one in the chamber). I'll double check that the mag catch has fully-engaged its slot in the magazine, ensuring that the mag is fully-seated during the "Make Ready" process.
Yep. My CO mags are 24+1 to start, 23 reloadable.
This is generally how we refer to capacity.

That last few major matches I've shot it made up 0%

Let’s review it. What is your USPSA number?
There are few issues that might be at play here. Are these hundos listed as Legacy scores on your USPSA profile? These don’t have HF in the records so I removed them from output for now.
also you might have something with 100 percent historical, but curPercent much lower due to HHF updates, even if it’s not a legacy score
Sorry I meant to delete that part of my post. At first I didn't realize I was looking at Open division scores and just scrolling down, saw Melody Line which had 0 hundos on file and knew that couldn't be right. User error.

It's not changing anything about the system.. it's just fixing the individually-stupid classifier HHFs. The process remains the same, the stages remain the same, all that changes is what score gets what percentage on the classifiers where that mapping is currently wrong.
If, say, Christian Sailer shoots an open classifer a bunch of times and his best run with no mistakes beats all other scores yet comes out to an 83% score is that a problem with Sailer or the classifier HHF?
For some reason there are a bunch of Open classifiers with no good scores but in CO there aren't any. Should classifiers be based on theoretical performance or prior scores that have actually been shot?

They don't fire out of battery. They have an unsupported barrel like a first gen glock

Just looked again, there were 43 Masters too.

Really it's worse that that in a popular division like CO. It's not crazy to have 20 EX's in a match, that'll will mean 4th EX will probably getting bumped to MA. You could have 4 or 5 SS's get bumped to EX at the same match. So in your example of back to back matches, the 2nd match could see the 8th place EX (from the 1st match) getting bumped to Master.
In this area there are a lot of majors, so we are manufacturing Masters to the point the classification system is kind of broken.
There were 43 CO Experts at FL State this weekend.

The most important thing is that it's reliable. I'm in a FB group for Prodigy owners and those things seem to be hit or miss. Good luck

The gun doesn't matter too much, but if you like it more and that makes you want to handle it more and train with it more then it matters.
A Rolex doesn't tell time better than a Casio (actually, it's worse) but people still like them. -
You don't have to use them if you don't want to

Looks like this year it's a level 1 with 10 stages for $150.
In 2021 when I shot it it was $275. Not sure if it was a Level 2 then or not.

Fix your holster situation

Being the most expensive match and not receiving value in return for the fee.
For $4000 is there anything better than the MPA DS9 LOC for Limited Optics?
in 1911-style Pistols

Ported is not legal in USPSA Limited Optics but would be in IDPA Carry Optics
