    IDPA cover vest / concealment garment

    in IDPA Shooting

    Posted

    I’ve only shot 3 matches thus far, but my patriot vest has served me well. It's light and airy enough to not be uncomfortable in the California heat, and it came in LT sizes which is why I got it over 511/woolrich offerings. the interrior pockets also stiffen the front pannels quite well, making them fold back rather than crumple. http://concealedcarryoutfitters.com/PatriotVest.php

    For the gamiest rig though, I did have an idea...

    I’ve looked through the rules, but I’m guessing others know them better than i do. Is there a requirement the concealment garment be retained throughout the course of fire? if not, seems you could shave a second or two by adopting a "tactical sarong", i.e. wrapping a shemagh scarf around your gear and clipping it in place. Buzzer sounds, you sweep it away and it falls to the ground leaving your gear unimpeded.

    Begs the question though: are you gamer enough to shoot in a dress? :blush:

    Gamer to the Max! I like it!

    CZ 97 .45 make a good competition pistol?

    97 with a shorten dustcover

    That is super-cool. Is the dustcover under the 3.25" limit? I would imagine that would also give you a little (not much) weight reduction to work with as well.

    It would be sweet if you gave it some Hi-Power style cuts right were the frame ended to make it look more like a 75. (Hi-Power cuts are allowed in CDP)

    From IDPA Rule book:


    8.1.1.2.

    Double action, double action only and striker fired semi-automatic firearms compete in Stock

    Service Pistol Division (SSP). Any firearm that can be used in SSP can be used in Enhanced Service Pistol Division (ESP) or Custom Defensive Pistol Division (CDP), depending upon the caliber. Single action semi-automatic firearms compete in ESP or CDP, depending upon caliber. Revolvers are classified by loading method and ammunition power.


    And:



    8.2.2.1.7.

    All firearms legal in SSP are legal for use in ESP. This provision may be used for firearms that violate an ESP rule (for example, a firearm with a steel dust cover or rail over 3.25”) to still be used in ESP, provided the firearm meets all SSP requirements.


    And:



    8.2.3.1.7.

    All .45 ACP firearms legal in SSP are legal for use in CDP. This provision may be used for firearms that violate a CDP rule (for example, a firearm with a steel dust cover or rail over 3.25”) to still be used in CDP, provided the firearm meets all SSP requirements.

    Well chopping the dustcover would probably be considered an external modification. The full length dustcover should be fine for SSP since Stuart says it approximately weighs 42 ounces so there is wiggle room for grips and basepads. So then it will be legal for ESP and CDP as long as only factory parts are used on the outside.

    The advantages of ESP over CDP is twofold. In ESP you only need to make 125 PF vs 165 PF and you have ten instead of eight rounds.

    I know the IDPA equipmnet rules.

    Forget about SSP and the SSP into ESP & CDP rules. If that is what you want to shoot, a shadow or any of the 9mm guns is a much better option.

    IF you cut the dustcover you dont have to worry about any of the SSP rules. You could build the gun specifically for CDP with an after market barrel bushing, a magwell and SAO trigger with overtravel screw and whatever else you wanted.

    It would also make a good Lim-10 gun.

    Woah let's back up here.

    Chopping the dustcover might be considered an external modification. Since they don't like you to change the sight dovetails, they would probably frown on this as well.

    If you chopped the dust cover you wouldn't have to worry about any of the SSP rules. You could add a magwell and convert it to SAO and even do the CGW bushing modification and be good to go in CDP or ESP. Not sure why anyone would want to run a 97 in ESP over CDP. I think a 45 fits best in CDP.

    I don't know if cutting back the dust cover is possible, I've never handled a CZ-97B.

    I haven't been able to discern anything from the 97B's description to find out if it comes with one, but I'll get mine this weekend. As I read it, the CGW bushing is definitely an aftermarket part and falls out of favour with 21.6 and requires milling which breaches 21.2b.

    The Accu-Shadow comes with the bushing already installed as part of the stock model, so it's allowed.

    The 97b and regular shadows (straight from the factory, not czc) come with a bushing.

    I know this because cgw's 97b upgrade mentions the factory bushing and its shortcomings.

    The shadows because I researched replacing the front sight and the front sight pin holds the stock bushing.

    The accu bushing in an accu shadow is a completely different piece than the factory bushing. They(czc) have to mill the factory slide to use it.

    Shadows do not come with a bushing. No 75s or sp-01s leave Czech republic with a bushing. They are installed by CZ Custom in the USA. That is why they are not SSP legal. The CZ-97 comes with a bushing but I would think the modifications needed to fit the 1911 bushing that CGW does would make it illegal in IDPA (all divisions, due to long dustcover)

    Anyone ever get a CGW 97 and chop the dustcover and add a magwell and run it in CDP?

    9mm IDPA Bug loads

    in 9mm/38 Caliber

    Posted

    I have been thinking about a BUG load for a little bit as well. I don't shoot BUG very much but I have an idea I would like to discuss.

    I typically load a 147gr bayou over 3.2gr of titegroup at 1.14" OAL

    I have considered subbing in a lighter bullet and keeping all other variables the same.

    So in practice I would load a 124gr bullet with 3.2gr of titegroup to 1.14" OAL and not have to change anything on my press. Does this sound like it would work? A light bullet at a light charge. This would allow me to crank out a few hundred sub-minor bug loads and not spend time on developing a whole new load and adjusting my press.

    For 95PF we need:

    115gr @ 826 fps

    124gr @ 766 fps

    135gr @ 704 fps

    147gr @ 646 fps

    Does anyone have experience with this type of load?

    It's not regestered in your name. Texas has no gun regrestry.

    Sell it to whomever you would like. It is illegal to knowingly sell it to a prohibited person such as a fellon. You could take it to just about any gun shop and see what they will give you or list it on a site like texas gun trader and meet up face to face in a public space in daylight. Its not required but a good idea to write up a bill of sale and get the guys DL#.

    Hope that helped

    New IDPA Rule Book - ESR Division?

    in IDPA Shooting

    Posted

    Seems a little odd thet they would lower the PF or ESR when it already has lower Classification scores than SSR

    On paper, lower classification scores = faster guns.

    We can only assume that the new 155 PF will make the clipped ESR guns even faster.

    I foresee the new Revolver division being ruled by the 625's.

    Maybe this was a conscience decision by Berryville to throw a bone to all the downtroten 625 shooters who just got displaced by the 8 shot Minor guns in USPSA. Or maybe they are just ensuring that their pals at S&W have a market to keep selling JM 625s.
