Slightly muzzle forward, so my hand can rest on the gun without having an angle in my wrist

Is the metal one different in size from the polymer versions?

I had it in my head to never stop myself, but in retrospect, I guess I should have stopped myself and forced a restart?
Shooting open, I wear amplified ear plus with a MSA Sordin over the plugs, and leave that turned off.
It's more about not starting in this situation than stopping yourself.
-
The further the better, but most people can't shoot groups wells enough at 25 to zero there.
A 10 yard zero is silly

If you start prematurely it's a stop and reset you situation but if you are moving AT the start signal it's a creeping penalty. RO has a lot of discretion in this case but if you're the shooter and just stop in this situation, it's going to be a reshoot.
Do you wear electronic muffs while you are the shooter? If so turn them off. -
It usually will work itself out with a polite comment or just standing there as the RO and giving a stare.
As the shooter, you don't have to react to the timer if something disturbs you right before your run.

Thank you all for the response. Not shooting to slide lock would certainly solve 50% of my concern. I hadn't considered that. I'm required to shoot to slide lock for requalification at my "day job", so just assumed I'd need to in carry optics. When I competed years ago it was a 10 round limit, so had to deal with slide locks and lots of mag drops, so I was taking that mentality into carry optics.
I wish I could find a gun show or gun shop that had competition ready guns in stock, but everyone I call is out of stock for what I've wanted to look at. I had considered the Canik Rival-S and steel PPQ, but haven't found a single one at any of the gun stores I've called. I'll use everyones advice to help narrow my search, and hopefully find a gun to get me "back in the game".
Thank you!
Go to a match. While the Canik and Q5 SF are not SUPER popular, there's a good chance you'll see one. A CZ with thin grips is also pretty small.
ALSO, there's nothing wrong with shifting your grip in order to get to the mag button. Rob Leatham does it with a 1911, every time. -
They help the mags to fall out for sure.
-
For local matches, not usually. If my gun explodes and I can't continued I'd rather get a head start on lunch then go to the car and strap on my backup. This isn't advice, just what I do.
-
Depends on the club and the flavor of the matches, and your skill level. At the matches I've been shooting, once the buzzer goes off I'm never stopped, but the less skilled guys are definitely not doing that.

It feels like we've gotten away from realistic concerns. For practiscore to "expose" you with a private profile your hypothetical employer would be looking through practiscore matches in your area looking for you which is a big leap from seeing you've posted competition footage on social media or are wearing paraphernalia at work.
Has your employer actual made an issue out of this from just Practiscore?
All they have to do is google your name. My name comes up on hundreds of pages relating to practical shooting. If I were to change careers where this was suddenly and issue, I'd be screwed.

PCC GM doesn't count.

ok not really sure what point you're making or if there is one

One class below your highest class rule... shoot a D class % on 4 clasifers in LO as a GM in any other division = Master in LO..
I understand the rule, but not sure why you say the HHFs don't matter, unless you just assume it's impossible for anyone to shoot good scores in LO with the current scores as they are?

Under 40 oz for sure. It has a plastic grip. It's listed on their website
-
I'll probably shoot it with my same CO tanfo but start cocked and locked. Maybe I'll get a 2011 again

I've seen this posted before, but when I started 18 years ago or whatever is now we still looked at the overall results. You could print them out really easy with easy win score back then.
So it may be something that affected majors, but on the club level I've always seen the overalls
Print them out? Scores took weeks to come out and then would look the same as this format always has

If PractiScore wouldn't do that, its support team would be answering non-stop questions from people who believe in what you say that either ask why people's division results aren't present or why their division aren't shown by default...
You'd just have to change the home page of the results to have links to all the divisions, like USPSA's website shows.
-
Practiscore showing the combined results as the default page when loading match results is what killed locap.

I don't get this Lo Cap = 15 rounds nonsense. That's daft. 15 rounds does you no good. Even with 15+1 you have no extras when shooting two views. Since OEM mags hold 17, go with load to capacity. Then with 18 to start you have two makeup rounds.
OP, there is nothing you can do to increase SS participation, short of paying people to shoot it. The way things are going, all the participation will be in optics divisions. When my eyes said no more Limited, I switched to Open. CO wasn't a thing back then. When they changed the CO rules to be essentially Open minor, almost all of the Prod shooters in my area switched. Most of the Limited shooters also switched. I don't see anyone going back to irons.
Time to break out the XDms and CZ p10's that hold 19 rounds

Please post in here if you are an IDPA Master and if you also shoot USPSA, your classification over there.
If you shoot IDPA majors for any length of time, M is almost inevitable.
M in SSP and ESP via bump (a looong time ago) and CO this year via the 5x5.
USPSA GM in Prod, Limited and CO also -
4 inch 25 yard groups are absolutely OK for this sport.

Production, Limited and CO GM
Production I think I made in 2016. Limited soon after and CO about 2 years ago. I'm 40 now. L-4500

Bruce Gray did a lot of work and has a great series of videos showing that these guns can't fire out of battery. I don't get it
