  1. Perhaps he meant "will perform best around half its max power"?
  2. But in that scenario if the shooter came back up to the line with their PCC after bagging their pistol and DQ'd, they certainly wouldn't be allowed to continue with their pistol. DNF for the rest. We have people shoot 2 guns all the time at USPSA, that's not just a SCSA phenomenon. If YOU (the shooter) get DQ'd, you are disqualified not your gun. Hell I could break my gun then go borrow yours since it isn't what got disqualified. ::ETA:: that isn't to say that we can't DQ guns. We can, as ROs. But the only reason you can DQ a gun is if it is demonstrably unsafe. Kinda like a shooter that got DQ'd has been demonstrably unsafe....
  3. I used to fairly frequently shoot plate racks at 10 with the dot off to build index. On close targets I shoot them with my index, sometimes the dot is visible sometimes it isn't. But that doesn't change how I shoot them.
  4. Everglades, Infinity, Atlas, and Hamlet Dynamics all make one. I don't like any of them. Have to run the racker on the wrong side (which is a big issue to me), and I don't notice a difference shooting them.
  5. I currently am down to only one big stick, since my second left with my old gun. So I was planning on getting another magazine regardless, and was going to set it up to be IPSC legal while also changing the basepad on my current mag so I would be back to two. My current mag is sick, it is an old style SV tuned by Beven with his guts and a 4mm TTI pad.
  6. It sounds the same as USPSA, in my reading of it at least: Good to know. That was the way I was originally leaning until I saw I could just buy a complete mag from MBX. I will look into it again, thanks.
  7. Wow! And that passes the gauge? I figured most people probably lost a round.
  8. How many are you getting in that setup?
  9. I have tried to search but can't seem to find what I'm looking for anywhere. This is mostly directed at the Euro crowd or those that shoot matches under international rules... What mag setup are you using to fit the gauge? I know for a fact my big stick is too long to fit the 170 gauge, and was planning on shooting IPSC nationals in July. I hopefully would be able to get another big stick (I'm back down to only 1 after selling my backup gun) and set it up for IPSC, and get a different basepad to make my current mag fit. Potential options I see: SV with 3mm TTI New STI with 3mm TTI Complete SV 170 170mm MBX (didn't know this was an option until today) Since I just today discovered the 170mm MBX I will probably go that route, unless someone has information saying they don't actually fit or something. Thanks in advance!
  10. Thanks guys, I'm super excited about it
  11. Here is my match video from this past weekend. For anyone who hasn't been to the range in Missoula, I must say it is quite nice and I would definitely recommend it. Big thanks to Everglades Ammunition for their continual support, and to the Big Sky Practical Shooting Club for hosting the match.
  12. Tried it, didn't appear to help.
  13. 5 minutes, of being completely still. like... COMPLETELY still. Laying on the counter still.
  14. I have had two, and they have been great (bright, great battery life, easy to zero, etc) until yesterday when one just quit in the middle of a practice session. Not battery related (I put in a new one). Then a little while later the dot came back on but was incredibly faint, enough you couldn't hardly see it except in the shade. Wouldn't adjust up or down in brightness, wouldn't turn off. Frustrating.
  15. And yet... still ugly haha. I just hate the way offsets look, personally. I have had 3 different Everglades mounts now. I wouldn't buy anything else. The Brazos mounts are nice, but I much prefer having a blast shield (on my new gun especially, with the big holes it makes lenses filthy). I also like the Limcat mounts, and if you use a thumbrest then it would be a good option. I am not a fan of the price though.
  16. Yes. There was a rule change to only allowing one reshoot per division.
  17. No, that's what I'm saying. With the open gun I am perfectly confident shooting the lower A zone at speed. I think I was only down 2 on the upper targets. If I shot irons more than a couple times a year I would likely have done it as well with my prod rig.
  18. Like I said above, I aimed for the lower A zone with my open gun, and the heads with the production gun. I think that was the safest course of action for me
  19. I think like 6 Bs and Cs. Plus a Mike on the middle upper target... by like an inch. Ugh. 2 C on the bottom then 3B 1C on the top..
  20. Well, after we had been talking about all this classifier I decided to set it up for our club match today. Shot a 11.22HF, 99.7%. Drew to the top targets, then sped up through the string. I would have shot like a 106% but had the gnarliest trigger freeze of my life on the very last shot haha. 4.99, -4. I reshot it with my production gun afterwards and drew to the bottom, shot a 5.49. So I don't think it really makes a difference. Pretty sure half a second is just the difference between irons and a dot.
  21. This is terrible advice, sorry. Buy something that works one time and never do it again. I haven't bought new pouches in 4 years and only replaced my belt because it was no longer functional... the incessant buying of different equipment looking for an edge is a guaranteed way to never find the edge. Because the only way to get an edge in this game, is to train more than the other guy. OP, don't buy ghost pouches. They break. The racers are nice, but don't buy racemasters. CR Speed are still awesome. Haven't heard of issues with Guga Ribas.
