Unwarranted commentary of a personal nature that reveals a substantial amount of jealousy. Stay classy. Holster is marketed as if it is for USPSA so it should therefore be USPSA legal at the very least. The holster maker needs to make it right.

Recently I began looking for either a 929 or a 986. I finally settled on a 986. I looked at several 929s at the local shops here and found issues with all but two of them. Those issues included: 1. Hammers scrubbing the frame 2. Barrel not aligned properly with the frame 3. Out of time (would not rotate cylinder to lock up) 4. Rear sight crooked However, I did find two good 929s at a shop in central North Carolina. I'm not sure I should mention it because I don't want anyone to think I'm advertising for them. But the two they had were quite good and did not seem to have the problems the other four 929s had that I was able to find in my area. Am I allowed to answer private messages to tell people where the two decent specimens are? I don't want to run afoul of the rules but I also want to help people out if they are looking in my area. Btw, the 986 was in great shape and was the only one I found. I got lucky on that one. Best, SOTG

The ones wearing jerseys are a mix. Some have sponsors. Some have them for "fashion". Some for practical reasons (they breath very well). I have one that is personalized to represent me. I have zero sponsors. I also like that they breath very well. Some in IDPA and some of the other sports see jerseys as a "gamer thing". That's my take on it from what I've seen and heard. I've been to matches (not IDPA) where if you wear a jersey and/or shoot USPSA, Steel Challenge, etc. You are looked down upon as a "f#&%ing gamer" and they do let you know you are not welcomed as "one of their crowd". I, frankly, don't care. It fits me. Interesting that people would look down on you. Maybe I'm just ignorant but all shooting matches are "games". The breathability of the garment makes a heck of a lot of sense. I have this Reebok shirt that was probably designed for people playing basketball, but it is comfortable and it works. The local matches I go to don't have anyone running around with the jerseys. But I was thinking about going to the 2-gun rimfire nationals, and wanted to blend in. Seems most people have jerseys there. Really appreciate your input.

I'm going to show my ignorance in a major way here, so brace yourselves... The people I see at matches wearing jerseys are typically people who have sponsorships, right? Or is it also a fashion thing? Sorry, I know this is a really dumb question but I've only done a few IDPA matches and 2-gun rimfire. Nobody at my matches is wearing anything with logos on it, so I was just curious.

jchris4769, Do you mind telling me where you got those cup holders? I think I'd rather have ones like that on my cart. Thanks, SOTG

This thread inspired me to make a cart for myself. The Rugged Gear carts are very nice and I briefly considered getting one. Someday down the road I may do exactly that. But I decided that every penny I save on the cart could be used for more ammo, or something else that might help me, and so it was that a homemade cart was constructed. Ended up finding a twin baby jogger on Craigslist. It's very basic, no frills, but that's what I wanted. Seems to have turned out okay, I guess.
