That looks rather convincing

Once I have my stage plan during the walk through (know where all the targets are, my positions/marks, reload positions, etc.) I will walk the conga line a few times until I will walk through a few times to ensure that I am hitting all the positions and that I have no hesitations about which target locations and target order. I identify trouble positions where I seem to be having difficulty stopping in the right spot or with target order. I will repeat small sections as needed and will may do short bursts of speed testing ability to get into and out if particular positions if other shooters are clear. Overall you are looking for smoothness and efficiency while moving through the stage. When on deck I will try a couple of runs through the course at as much of full speed as I can do to ensure my plan is programmed and that I am hitting all of my positions and that there is no hesitation with finding the right targets. I think going full speed is important because it will likely be much more difficult to hit a tight position if you are only looking at it while going at a casual pace. Again, I repeat smaller sections of possible but like to run the whole thing start to finish executing perfectly if possible. The fast pace gets the adrenaline going more as well and helps me to know where my focus should be. The only real drawback of this approach is that sometimes I am already out of breath and the mouth breathing comes over loud, clear, and obnoxious through the first person camera. For example:

I just got one of these. Waiting to try it out. It came with instructions to run it wet and not count on more than 10k rounds.

SIG Sauer P320 Carry. It has a 3.9" barrel and compact slide but the grip length and magazine capacity of the P320 Full Size.

Any word on when this will be on the USPSA Production gun list?

I wish I would have know you were doing this. I would have just bought the leftovers from your spring kit as I will be trying to run a lighter spring.

I think with the lighter spring you should be able to use slightly less gas. Seems like that should translate into a softer feel.

I just ordered the kit today. How do the spring weights relate to the stock captured spring?

Moltke, did you get a JP silent capture system or are you using conventional?

No. Different manufacturers.

I picked up a JP Ultra LMOS aluminum but now have to figure out what buffer and spring system to pair with it. I had been running a standard JP LMOS with a JP captured spring and really like that set up. I was about to order the Spring Kit for the captured guide rod from JP so I could potentially lower the spring weight in the captured buffer system. For those who are running the Ultra Light systems, what is your buffer and spring configuration? Also, if tuning using the JP Captured spring kit where do you start when it comes to spring weight?

Which Guide Rod do you have ? I have the GGI one but from the pictures the Springer looks identical.

Great tip. Thank you. I still need to play with spring tuning. I dropped in a Wolff 13lb and have been happily plinking away with good results so far but need to optimize.

They look similar. You can use Wolff or ISMI springs.

Both the Springer and the GGI P320 guide rods are uncaptured.

This is awful advice. Please learn how to use your slide lock. You don't want to run dry but that doesn't mean that you don't want to be able to recover as fast as possible. There should be very little difference in time between a standard reload and a slide lock reload if you minimally competent. not one of the 3 top tier instructors I've trained with has ever told me I should be practicing slide lock reloads training for USPSA competitive shooting .... Did they tell you specifically not to practice them and did they also say that they never practice them? Why would you not want that in your tool kit? It isn't like it's difficult to master.

Might be possible for Open but when you shoot Production that isn't a smart thing to do. It's best to learn to use it correctly.

Looking forward to shooting this match again.

You can call SIG directly to order to the parts.

They seemed to come out just fine. I have started using imgur.com to upload and share pictures here. You don't even need an account to upload and the resolution is much better.

Looking forward to the range report.

In terms of IDPA? Both USPSA Production and IDPA SSP rules have prohibitions on modifying guns to change calibers. Granted, the process they had in mind is nothing like changing calibers on a P320 where the FCU which is technically the gun is identical across different sizes and calibers of P320. The sad fact is that since there are no caliber markings on the FCU there would be no way for a match official to tell if you bought your P320 as a .40 and later acquired a 9mm conversion kit since the gun would be identical in every way to a P320 originally purchased in a 9mm configuration.

I am using Wolff
