Fmj will be fine. I'd bring 200 rounds to be safe, but you'll probably shoot roughly 130. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Definitely bring lunch. Most of our matches are done by 1 or 2pm . Depends on how many show up. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Great! Just make sure you show up for new shooter orientation, since you have only shot a USPSA-style match. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

This is the email regarding the match: Shooters, Sunday's weather up in the mountain range is promising to be quite pleasant. Come escape the heat of the city and, at the same time, help us put holes on cardboard! The USPSA match at the Clear Creak range is happening on Sunday, May 27, 2018. We will meet for setup at 7:00am, hold our shooter's meeting close to 9:00am and begin shooting shortly afterwards. If you are bringing a new shooter along, please plan on arriving before 8:00am. At said time we will begin our New Shooter Orientation. See you all on Sunday!

The match in Dumont (west of Idaho springs) is this Sunday! Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

The idea might have merits if he was starting a whole new sport. Might. But the idea of it as a change to our existing sport is ridiculous. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

That's the first I've heard about the adjustable sights not lasting. I've got well over 5k on mine and it's going strong. I'm not worried about it. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I can see that slide racker taking a thumbnail off. The work is definitely cool, like a zev glock slide. From a pure performance perspective, grip tape on the front strap and slide would be just as, if not more, effective. But if you've got the money, why not? Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Glock frames don't suffer from lighter recoil springs, I don't know why the CZ would. I'd say, make it run like you want. The point is to have a gun that safely performs how you want, it's not to try to make it last forever. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

If you have enough people on the squad, one person can stand next to each target [not behind, that would be dangerous!] and hold an umbrella over the target. Anyone wearing a cardboard-colored shirt should run the timer or nook.

Yeah, my first and last IDPA match was 40 rounds. At least it wasn't cold. Those guys at that match, except for one, we're all perfectly suited to IDPA. The one guy though, I practically begged him to come check out USPSA, the way you'd point to an exit door for a lost person in a burning building. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I think you can get a thicker version of those same grips. Maybe also try the grip goo so your hands are dry all over- dry skin is pretty grippy by itself. The finger grooves on the hogue grip will push your strong hand fingers forward making room for your weak hand. In the end, you might just need to shoot a bigger gun. I chose a CZ TS over a 2011 for limited, partly because of its huge grip. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I wear an XL glove, and I do what I can to make the grip as large as possible on my pistols. My Sp01 clone grip isn't big enough still, but it still works. For your CZ75, you can order thicker grips or try a hogue wraparound grip with the grooves. But let me tell you, even without enough room for your support hand you should still be able to control the mild recoil of your CZ. If you are having to regrip, you aren't gripping hard enough. You may need to do some strength training with your grip, or just start utilizing the strength you have. And if you haven't yet, maybe add grip tape to the front and back straps.

Everyone knows that Limited is coolest because of the speed, the flashy gear, and all the rabid fans who ask for autographs after the match. Let's not forget the free money USPSA headquarters sends us, supplied by production shooters' annual membership dues. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Most people in this sport end up with an ideal gun eventually. And not everyone ends up competitive, skill-wise. No one will judge you, they'll just think that you came prepared. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

If you have already ordered the auto drum, then forget about the auto disk. The auto drum works beautifully. And you won't have that .4 grain variable. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I've seen guys make GM- Limited with a glock, so there's no reason you can't make it with that. You are at a disadvantage regarding weight right now, I'd think any further mods you make should be focused on that. You might try the SJC frame weight and see if that helps you get back on your sights faster. When I shot Limited with a glock, the heavy brass magwell and insert was a huge performance enhancement. I understand your affinity for 'underdog' equipment. When I moved up from a glock, I was considering everything BUT a 2011 for Limited. I ended up with a TS. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I had the same issue, filed the spot, no issues since. Which reminds me, I need to check that spot on my 2 newer mags. BTW, why the heck do you have 12 TS mags? Do you load them all before a match and use new mags every stage? I've never needed more than 4, even with 60 round stages at the Rocky Mountain 300. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

In keeping with the new production rules, I undercut the trigger guard a bit on the right side. Much more comfortable. I guess it's less of an undercut and more of a rounding of the edges. I did the same thing on my TS and I loved the result. In the pic you can also see the overtravel set screw I added to the factory trigger. I could have bought a trigger from Cajun like this, but a drill bit, tap and 8mm set screw was only 10 bucks. And if I screwed it up, I could always order the cajun trigger then. BTW, still no malfunctions yet, well over 1000 rounds. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

One of my two boys kinda enjoys shooting. He is less interested in competition. It's unlikely that either of them will join me in USPSA, but there's a chance my oldest will enjoy Steel Challenge. I thought bowling pin matches would be a great intro, but at 13 my son is the youngest person there by 25 years or more. Shooting matches are a whole lot of waiting, and I just have to accept that it's not their thing. At least for now. I'll check back with them regularly though. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Yes, since I started this thread I have added an over travel set screw to the factory trigger and installed the adjustable sear and race hammer from Cajun. It totally continues to run flawlessly. The next thing I'll do is undercut the trigger guard. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

This is more of a "Did I just SEE that??"- A new shooter at an indoor match, wearing his pants and regular belt normally, but with his shooting belt around his chest at sternum height, supported by his belly. He could barely holster his pistol. Craziest thing I've ever seen. He shot the whole match that way, and as far as I could tell no one said a word to him about it.

I switched from a Glock to a heavy CZ TS in Limited division. The real difference there was the trigger making faster splits possible, and the weight helping a little bit with recoil. And the CZ wasn't in danger of blowing up in my hand, or constant malfunctions. I also recently put together a production pistol from a CZ Sp01 clone. It is heavy, has a great trigger. But, now I think a plastic gun is ideal for production, especially with the new rules allowing the aftermarket triggers. In hindsight, I would have waited for the full size CZ P10 to be released, or bought an M&P 2.0 and put a trigger in it. If I wasn't mainly a Limited shooter with a CZ, I'd have a glock for production, but mixing grip angles is no bueno for me. Weight is nice for recoil reduction, but with a proper grip there is almost no recoil with minor PF. Triggers are very important. Faster transitions from lighter weight are way more valuable than split times. I honestly think the reign of DA/SA guns in production right now has a lot to do with wanting to race a fancier gun, and with following trends of some of the top shooters. Bottom line is, shoot what you like. But that Shadow 2 is going to be super hard to get used to compared to your Glock, and you will lose time on that transition. And when you get to a certain level of skill, you might admit that the transition was a setback and that the Glock wasn't holding you back.

It's all about what it's worth to you. I could shoot Saturday and Sunday almost every weekend, all within about 1:30 drive. But with two boys (11 and 13), it would be seriously shitty of me to be gone all day every weekend at this time in my boys' lives. I hate that guilty feeling when I get home as it's getting dark, and my wife was stuck with the kids all day. It's tempting to shoot more than I should as the M card is close, but some things are just way more important. Years from now, I'll be totally cool with my whole day being centered around a match. That said, I try to tape, set steel, break down and put away my stage with extra effort so that I can get back home ASAP with a clean conscience that I didn't leave work for my squadmates.

Since I have a Lee loadmaster for .40 and a Lee pro 1000 for 9mm, my bench is always covered in tools, crushed primers I had to dig out, finished cartridges with sideways primers, and spilled powder from the cartridges that didn't prime successfully. I figure on about 8% wasted components. And a mess. But the cartridges that make it through primed shoot great! I include a pic just so you guys can feel better about your own setup.
