    Max M.

    in USPSA/IPSC Shooting

    Posted

    I had a thought about Max and the new 320 is max campaigning the 320 in production because its the best gun Sig makes for production or because Sig wants to promote that model? I ask because given the current trend in production division of heavy steel DA/SA guns wouldn't the X5 be a "better" platform?

    IIRC the Sig X5 is a SA only gun so not Prod legal. That said the price point of the 320 is really where the appeal comes in

    Max has already shot several matches with the P320 in production division. I have it on good authority that SIG are working on a competition model of the P320 platform so that it can compete with other tuned platforms like CZ etc.

    Things they'd be adding to the competition model are things like a better trigger, the current production model has a 5lb trigger pull where as the competition model will have about a 2lb pull.

    What matches? I'd love to check them out on Practiscore if you have a link. Always wondered how Max would do in that pool

    Do you shoot comps when in bad weather?

    My first time as MD it rained so bad that we had to pull poppers from certain stages because the bays turned to mud. Stakes were coming out and we didn't want to have to reset them after each shooter. The worst part by far was the taping. The stuff literally fals right off and you can barely see anything behind the plastic. Will not do again :(

    the secret to recoil control?

    in Handgun Techniques

    Posted

    You need upper body strength as well as strong hands.

    I agree with the hands (which I read as having a string grip) but as far as upper body strength goes I don't think it's as important as having a good stance. Anyone weighing 120lbs + should have enough mass to manage recoil adequately. Get low, get wide, bend at the hips and grip the piss outta that thing!

    What would it take you?

    in USPSA/IPSC Shooting

    What would it take you to reach your dream goal in shooting sports? And, yes I am asking seriously.

    Do you need more confidence? Time? Ammo? Instruction? Hand eye coordination? Belief you could reach your goal? Money? A supportive spouse?

    - Time, ammo and confidence!

    Finally did it... Bought a 550b!

    in Miscellaneous BEginners

    Posted

    I use a 550b and shoot between 600-700 rounds a week. A few things that make it easier:

    - get an ergonomic operating arm as the standard knob will tire out your shoulder pretty quick

    - get an LED light to place above the sprocket, this will help you see the powder in each case to avoid squibs

    - make sure to keep the primer slide clean so that it functions properly without any hiccups

    good luck!

    Analyze my scores, help me improve.

    Looks like the average time was around 250-280 secs and you finished around 340 secs. That said I don't think Mike is necessarily saying to move slower but shoot slower and call your shots. You shot 70% alphas on paper which isn't bad but you had a lot of misses (10 total with 7 on one stage). Try shooting the next match without any penalties and start dry-firing if you haven't already.

    Also, you might want to consider something a little more effective than a G19 if you really get into this. Not anytime soon but down the line

    Broken Gun = Not an AD?

    in USPSA/IPSC Rules

    Posted

    I just took the NROI class this weekend with George Jones. This topic came up a few times. Based on those discussions, I believe it should have been a DQ. Shooter is always responsible for the gun....period....whether it was an AD caused by his finger or by malfunction.

    1. "10.4.3 A shot which occurs while loading, reloading or unloading a handgun. This includes any shot fired during the procedures outlined in Rule 8.3.1 and Rule 8.3.7. "

    The only time the shooter wouldn't be responsible would be if he were clearing the gun and the round didn't eject and the round was detonated when the slide was closing

    "10.4.3.1 Exception – a detonation, which occurs while unloading a handgun, is not considered a shot or discharge subject to a match disqualification, however, Rule 5.1.6 may apply."

    "Detonation .......................Ignition of the primer of a round, other than by action of a firing pin, where the bullet does not pass through the barrel (e.g. when a slide is being manually retract-

    ed, when a round is dropped). "

    +1

    I also took the NROI course with Troy McManus in August of this year and this sounds about right.

    Glock 34 Gen4 vs Gen3 for USPSA

    in USPSA/IPSC Shooting

    Posted

    I own the Gen4 34 and 17 and have shot their Gen3 counterparts pretty extensively before buying. Ultimately I chose the Gen4 because of the grip configurations which are legal in USPSA Production (the Gen3 cannot use beavertails legally). Looking back on it I think I overpaid and would have shot just as well with the Gen3's. Accuracy and reliably have been the same for me with either generation. It comes down to budget and grip preference.

    AccuShadow Front Sight Question

    in CZ

    Posted

    I'm looking for a front sight replacement for my AccuShadow that has a fiber optic as close to the top edge of the front sight as possible (similar to the Taran Tactical sights). Does anyone know if someone makes one like that? Thanks!

    Order the next height up from Dawson and file the top down.

    I thought about that, but CZ Custom's website says that the Accushadow needs a 7.5mm front sight. Converted to inches, that's 0.295 inches. The tallest sight I see on Dawson's site is 0.275. Of course, that may still work since I'm running a HAJO adjustable rear.....but they're out of stock at the moment. *sigh*

    Czcustom measure sights differently. .215 is the ticket

    ^^^ Oh really? That makes things a little easier! (although Dawson is still sold out of the .215) ;)
    They aren't sold out...that just means they have to cut one which takes 2 more days. I got mine in 5 days.

    Thanks jabbermurph! Order submitted! :D

    So did this work out? I was also looking at doing something similar but want a 0.95 width. Stuart told me that the height is indeed 7.5mm = 0.29 inches. Wondering if I should just take the risk and file my current sight's width...... :/

    Dry firing at home

    in Skills

    How useful is getting a shot timer for dry fire practice? I'm thinking it's about time I picked one up.

    Without a timer I'd say you're missing out on a lot of key components of dry fire. You need to have a basis of what you can do (and in what amount of time) in dry fire so that you can translate that into live fire. If I could do it over again I'd buy a Shot Maxx but a typical Shot Pro is fine. If you don't want to invest any money just yet there are a few apps you can download for free. The main thing you're looking for are random start times and par times

    I learned the most through his Dry Fire book but keep in mind you absolutely need a timer (or smartphone with a timer app). Skills and Drills is also good but tough to do if you're not an RO. At my local range practices you basically are limited to what the duty RO has everyone doing. I recently made RO so I can now start setting up my own drills which i plan to this week

    Gen 4 grip tape?

    in Handgun Techniques

    Posted

    I had good results with Jessup skate tape on my gen4 17. The only part that didn't stick as well was the back strap because of the curvature.

    Cut slits along the edges of the piece you use for the blackstrap. It will allow more contouring

    Pretty much what everyone else has stated above. Dry firing has been the biggest influence on my shooting other than video review. Anything you want to try on the range you can basically do at home first: shooting on the move, classifiers, draws, reloads, transitions etc. Live fire is just confirmation of the habits you've built up over time. The trick I've learned in dry firing is that you need to be 100% honest with your sights. If they weren't lined up properly you probably miked and should re-do the exercise until you've done it right.
