Calls Shots

Calls Shots (8/11)

  1. I dialed back participation big time in the last 2 years, for a lot of reasons. I started my own business, so work became more exciting. I plateaued in skill, at least for the amount of time I was willing to practice, which was always close to zero. I live in Colorado and I realized that I was spending so many weekends in a dirt hole of a shooting range, instead of seeing the beauty I'm surrounded by. I bought a motorcycle and started exploring this past summer. I actually shot half the stages at the State match and realized "I'm not actually enjoying this, and if I left now, I could go on an amazing ride for the rest of the day". So I left. What's funny is, early into dialing back participation, I shot better. I finally made master in Limited. But then the not touching a gun for two months and showing up for a match really started to show, and I dropped in the results. Which made things a little less fun too. The USPSA organizational drama and the dying of Limited major also made shooting a little less interesting. Oh well. There are seasons in life. I don't want to keep doing things the same way out of habit. I want to fill my time with whatever actually gives me the greatest return on investment. Right now it's other things. But I'll still shoot when I've got a buddy to shoot with or if I get the itch.
  2. 3 allows me to be more target focused and use it like a red dot. Which allows for speed. Accuracy is just as good as if I had my sights set up for #2.
  3. Do yourself a favor and see if the Mecgar competition mags run fine for you. If they do (and they should) then they are only like 20 bucks at gregcotellc.com
  4. Titegroup. It's the OG powder for a reason. I use it for .40, 9mm, 45acp in all loads. It's dirtier than others, but an 8lb jug lasts a century, and it just works.
  5. I shoot titegroup, so my pistols get a nice layer of black gunk inside. Would an ultrasonic cleaner completely remove that crap, or would I have to go in with a brush afterwards to get the gunk off that was merely softened or loosened?
  6. If my name was McBlastyPants and I was signing up for a Taco Bell eating competition, I'd register as John Smith.
  7. Carry optics is becoming cooler than Limited in the same way that Being a sensitive guy with soft hands is becoming cooler than being John Wayne. I don't know that I want to be cool, but I do want to compete with the heat. It's just too bad it'll need to be with 9 sillymeter. I'm getting one of my pistols milled for an RDS right now, but I don't know if I'll ever be motivated to learn to shoot a dot. I really hate 9mm, the soft recoil, the little baby bullets. It's not part of that adrenaline rush ideal that I got into USPSA for years ago.
  8. you've been here 1 month, so it's understandable
  9. This is the wrong forum for discussing home defense stuff, and it would drift the thread. There are other better places for that if that's your thing. But this is a competition forum and that's the singular interest here.
  10. Any word on a .40 version, for those of us with hair on our chests that still have decent vision?
  11. Well, I think Phil's ideas are just plain bad. Anyone who spent thousands on a .40 Limited gun would be so pissed at the Organization that they would likely move on.
  12. how about a screenshot, for those of us that that don't InstaTwitFace.
  13. Exactly, those 3 rounds end up being very precious on a lot of stages I see. Enough so that a serious competitor wouldn't consider 40 minor.
  14. Awesome. Jared, you would know better than anyone: is a .40 planned?
  15. I'm seeing things like "limited run" or "only 1200 made". Are they not going to make any more? With everyone wanting a 9mm 2011 these days, it makes zero sense to not continue production of these.
