  1. Hello Everyone. I’m a longtime pistol shooter but new to 3 gun. I prefer to shoot an optic on my pistol so I need an open shotgun. I have an benelli M2 and a burris fast fire speed bead setup. Can this be competitive if I add a speedloader setup or do you really need a magazine fed shotgun now days?
  2. OK given the rule change who makes the worlds heaviest pic rail mounted weapons light?
  3. I have a Romeo Max on a SIG Legion. It’s great to shoot. Big window the dot is sharp and will go super bright. I’ve probably got maybe 4k rounds through it. The flex pad that covers the on off switch (and presumably makes the thing water proof) flew off 2 matches ago to parts unknown. The auto on off feature sucks. It will shut off and if you move the gun right when or immediately after it shuts off it won’t come back on. Then you can’t get it on with the on button until it sets a while. I have to turn off manually after every stage and then on at load and make ready to be sure the dot will come on. I’ll be trying an SRO next.
  4. Ok so who wants to go in business with me making the heaviest damn weapons light on the market. We’ll call it Schuetzen Glocken.
  5. I can’t comment on the Q5. I do love my legion. To me I need 3 things good trigger good sights and the gun needs to run and be reasonably accurate. The sig comes with a nice set of FO adjustable sights, my trigger measured 3lb 4oz on my gage and it feels clean to me. I don’t notice the squish everyone is talking about. The gun has run 100% and it shoots inch groups at 25 yds. The only bummer was finding I needed an adapter plate to mount a romeo 3max
  6. Hello all. Well it appears I screwed up. I ended up with a Romeo 3 max. For some reason I thought it would mount direct to the gun. It does not so I need a adapter plate. I don’t see one for the legion/romeo 3 combination on the springer website. What are people using to mount this sight and where can I get one? Thanks again everyone you’ve been very helpful
  7. Thanks for the responses. I’m torn I like the look of the SRO a little better but it’d be nice that the DPP would mount without a plate. I think I might try a DPP if it don’t suit me I need a sight on a SW 627 too I’ll just move it to that gun and get a SRO later
  8. Thanks all. I had not seen the SRO so I’ll check it and the DPP out any word on if sig is coming with a new version of the Romeo that might have a big window? I thought I saw someone mention in a post but nothing on the sig website yet.
  9. OK so I’ve shot both a Glock 17 and a Tangfo Stock 2 in carry optics both with a Burris FF 2. Hated both and went back to production because I couldn’t keep the dot in the window on recoil and had much trouble tracking it. Basically I would finish higher overall in production. I just got a P320 X5 Legion and I’m itching to try CO again just for that big magazine. Is there any red dot option to make it easier to keep said dot in the window? Also before anyone says it I’m not limp wristing the gun. Basically an A class shooter master in production but I have slid a little since then my eyesight is getting worse hence the other hand reason for carry optics.
  10. Hey for the guys with too much recoil spring in your canik sfx. I installed a sprinco unit made for a walther Q5 with the light spring. It works perfect and does shoot softer
  11. I picked up a range officer last summer probably 8k round through it and it's been perfect. It's an honest 1.5" gun at 25 yds. No malfunctions at all. Trigger was heavy but a $9 cylinder and slide 3 leaf spring got me a passable 3.5lb trigger.
  12. I just wanted to thank all the staff. I shot Friday and it was a great match. I hadn't shot anything more than a local match in many years and it was great to get back out there and great to have so much participation in Singlestack.
  13. Dawson makes two maxwell inserts. One accepts standard mags with the tab in front. The other has no cut for the tab and is made to work with Dawson base pads. I got the later and 5 Dawson mags whenI got my 9mm RO. The gun mag well and mags have all been flawless.
  14. I made production master several years ago. But my performance is going down due to some eye problems. I'm all in
  15. Thanks Dwain got lucky. Just decided to hit the gas and go for it. The hits just happened to be there. It'll get thrown out for being more than 15% over my average. Having trouble I haven't shot production for years so my classifier average is really low. I had one other really good one thrown out. Can't win. Oh well
  16. I shot this in 3.18 clean in production. Came out to 9.43 hit factor and 100% problem is USPSA threw it out as more than 15% above my class. I haven't shot production in years so my classification is C (I'm about to make A in limited)but I did shoot it and it was set properly. Is there any way to appeal and get this to count? Usually I get psyched out and blow classifiers and they seem to count those they should also count the ones where I have my head on straight and do something right!!!!!!!!!!!
  17. I'm having the same problem. Haven't shot production in years but with .40 bullets so high broke out the old g17. I'm a high B in limited (need one more good run for A) but C in production. I don't even shoot much USPSA mostly steel, GSSF, and NRA-AP. SO I'm sure I've improved in the 3-4 years since I shot production. I shot steely speed VII 06-10 in 3.18 with 30 points 9.434 HF and it was disallowed I e-mailed and pled my case. we'll see. I am in fact the most inconsistent shooter in the world I'll either score well or crash and burn but I did shoot this one and it sucks if they disallow it.
  18. I go back and forth on this. I have a older Benny Hill 6" 2011 and a G-24 (Bought the Glock to start with then upgraded). I've really tried to evaluate both in practice and matches by breaking down the timer data. I see two advantages to the 2011. 1. Reset is shorter so I can shoot about .03 faster splits on those up close and dirty targets, but a lot of times this is fools gold. .03 ain't much and if it costs you a A or two have you really gained anything? 2. The 2011 reloads soo much easier. That tapered magazine is great for fumble fingers. No matter how you flub it it goes in. It saves me about .15 sec per reload. All that said I shot the Glocks (17 in production and 24 in limited) this years after solely shooting the 2011 for the last two years because I wanted to shoot some GSSF matches and maybe pick up some prizes and the new production class for NRA AP interests me. I could never see a difference in my match results whether I shot the 2011 or the glock 24. I finished about the same and I actually shot about an 89% classifier with the 24 which is high for me so far typically I can get in the low 80% range if I shoo to my potential so 89% is very good. I don't think it matters much. A 24 and $2K worth of ammo will make you better than a $3000 2011 limited gun I think. This thread interests me when I first got the 2011 I thought it was a great advantage but now I'm not sure. Has anyone else shot both a lot? You guys are right about a G-35 it's so darned versatile you can shoot so many games with it and be competitive. If I was just starting I would buy a G-35 and 100k rounds of ammo. When I got that shot up I'd move on to something else MAYBE.
  19. The .285" tall sight won't work in a fobus or uncle mikes kydex holster there is not enough clearance. It does work in the inection molded Blade-tech. I have all three and have tried. I just looked at a bladetech DOH today and it looks like it would go in it also. Hope this helps.
  20. I have a G-24 with the same problem. It has the dawson adjustable rear and the .285 tall front. Rather than buy a new front sight I cut a shim out of .025" plastic machinist shim stock and put under the front sight. It's still 1.5" high at 25 yards. A load with a lighter bullet going faster will tend to shoot lower, but may have snappier recoil. You probably don't want to go lighter than 115 gr in 9mm though. I feel your pain I bought mine as a set from Dawson you would think the front would have been sized to put the rear more inthe middle of the adjustment range.
  21. I guess it will all shake out one way or another. I just hope USPSA recognizes that one of the things they've done a lot better than others (IDPA) over the years is to not obsolete equipment with the rule book. I bought a 5" revolver a few years ago thinking I would shoot some IDPA with it right before they changed the rule to 4" max for revolvers. That along with trying to remember when you can and cannot drop a magazine and the failure to do right crap just turned me off. USPSA has a great deal going. With the new SS division along wiht production limited relover and open about anything you want to use will work in some division. The rules are not hard to learn or subjective. It's a very good sport and it's growing. I just hope everyone remembers what got us here.
  22. OK so everyone is arguing.I'm confused. I just got another glock and was going to get back into production some this year. So according to the current ruling what can I do to it. My old production gun (sold a couple years ago) had aftermarket sights and barrel, steel guide rod and trigger polished. Can I get by with this under the current rules? I don't care I'll shoot the dang thing bone stock happily as long as everyone else does, but how do you enforce that? It's obvious from the post we need clarification though. Man just reading the rulebook I can't see how they read all this into it. By listing the accepted mods in parenthesis it implies that they are examples and shouldn't preclude trigger polishing but if that's what the ruling is OK I just need to know.
  23. It may be the best to stick with one gun, but I find that I get bored. So I usually switch up at the end of the year when it gets cold at the end of the year. Practice with the new gun when there is nothing going on then shoot it when the new season starts. I think it helps me keep working at it or I would get bored and burnt out and quite. I did that once and it took me 10 years to get back to competitive shooting. So in that way it helps me to change it up once and a while. Then I always get back to limited where I am the strongest. I fiddled with singletack last year and I think it's going to be production this year. You revolver guys are tempting me though. I used to have a ball about 20 years ago shooting NRA action pistol with a revolver. Only thing is I can't count to 6. I don't know crap about shooting compared to a lot of the guys on this forum, but What ever you do make sure it's fun. That is the point after all.
  24. I guess I agree in principle if all else is equal support USPSA sponsers. I don't however agree with bashing people who choose something else. It his hard earned money, get what you like. I had a STI trusight it had to go back to me that's unacceptable for that price gun. My dad had a springfield the lug broke off the bottom of the barrel without too many rounds on it. Don't even get me started with S&W. So yes I have a Kimber that is accurate and 100% reliable, but I do catch crap about it from time to time. Maybe I just got lucky and got a good one. Lord knows I gave STI/Springfield/S&W a try.
