+1 on the speedcomps. I also use a bladetech DOH with rescomp belt, and before the speedcomps used the CR mag pouches. It all depends upon where you like the bullets to face. The speedcomps put them facing out from the belt while the CRs face them along the belt.
If you like the CR's I have 5 for sale, barely used with all the parts

Bladetech DOH and speedcomp mag pouches. The blackhawk CQC is a great carry holster, but I would think twice about it for competition. If you do not firmly hit the release switch you will draw a lot more than the pistol

Had a quick question for you all shooting the M&P's. I shoot the XD because I found the grip angle to be the closest to a 1911. How is the grip angle of the M&P? It looks quite similar.
Thanks,
Ray

Try the S.P.O.T. Very inexpensive. It holds zero despite a lot of abuse, comes with its own mount, and from what I have read is the exact same red dot as Burris. If you want more, AR15.com has several threads on the scope.

Thanks everyone for filling in the gap. The last half hour did seem a little out of character, but I think it makes for great story lines going forward. As for Starbuck, how many kick ass men and women do we know that have a change in personality when they are PW (oops fall in love)?

Help anyone. My DVR did not record the very end of the season two finale. It cuts off right where the blond cylon tells baltar that she knows who he is. What happens next?
Thanks in advance

I would emphasize what eric posted about the XD trigger. If you do a search you should find a couple of posts on this subject. I shoot an XD tactical with a trigger job from Rich at Canyon Creek, and even the most die hard glock shooters in my club think that the trigger is better their glocks. Of course, the trigger is just one factor...

Thanks again George and drawandduck (sorry for making you do the tally). This was only my first season shooting ipsc and I know that the dollars can add up fast. This will be a bit to think about especially since I do like doing non-major modifications myself. Hope you had a merry christmas and have a happy new year.

Slight thread drift. Lately, I have been seeing the sights lift more often
, and have noticed that I often see the actualy muzzle flash from my right (non-dominant eye). Any of you fellow cross-eye dominant shooters experience this as well? -
Thanks to both of you. DrawandDuck thanks for the pics. Can I ask how much the mods to the competition master ran you?
-
Ditto eye cutter's advice. With the draw, I bring the gun in line with my left eye which means moving the entire triangle a little to the left. It takes time to get used to it, but once you do it works just fine.

Hey there,
I am thinking about getting started in 3 gun/multi-gun next season and have been thinking about shooting open with my open pistol. For my shotgun, I have been looking at Remington 1100 Competition Masters.
Will the 8+1 capacity and no compensator/porting be a serious liability in open class? In other words, should I look to a Bennie Hill or JP shotgun built for open instead?
Thanks,
Ray

Shooting L-10 minor is a great idea. Not only is the ammo cheaper, but it will penalize you for sloppy, inaccurate shooting so it is great practice.

Just finished my first season shooting IPSC and I have loved it. If you already have the 1911 stick with it for at least a few matches. You can shoot limited 10 or single stack if the club recognizes it. Be slow to spend money. There are lots of different options out there and you need to find what works best for you not simply which division but what type of pistol in each division. Try other peoples rigs and pistols during practice sessions and see what works for you or demo them at a range. If you get really hooked you will want to save your money for quality equipment which you can often find used here or at the USPSA website.
Have fun and be safe.

INTJ. See my avitar

+1 on the Mitchell. The catch works great though I found with my S_I's I had to tinker a little to get the proper positioning, and when you call the warranty number you get Mr. Mitchell himself.

Is the plan to shoot saturday and sunday or are some considering all day friday?

Hey everybody, I just wanted to see if I could get an update on if/when an S_I version will be out. If there are no plans to make them, has anyone tried to see if an S_I mag wil fit the XD or Glock holder? Also, for those that already have them, has anyone tried a draw on one of these from the "over the buckle" position? Does it feel better/faster than say a 771 or Guga Ribas pouch in that position? Thank in advance for the help.
For the forum member who is making these pouches, there is definitely an interest in an S_I version.
After reading your post Joe, I tried my SV and STI mags and they definitely will not work in these pouches. I have never tried the Guga Ribas pouches so I cannot comment, but it is in my opinion better than a 771 pouch or similar for over the buckle. Again, it is all in not having to rotate the wrist as much to position your hand on the mag. Of course, there are many out there who can do it lightening fast when the mags are horizontal to the belt.
-
Don't sweat it, its perfectly legal. USPSA only stipulates no race holsters, everything else can be as racy as you want or need.
Including the mag holders!
-
OK got mine today, and they are great. The angle of the pouches and set up, as one can guess from the photos, is much like the limcat mag pouches which I use for my SV limited and open rig. For those of us who want to minimize the amount of wrist turn during the reload this is great.
They feel a lot more solid than the limcat holsters (whether they are in fact is a different question to which I do not know the answer.).
Also, even a skinny guy like me can get five of these pouches in a very comfortable position for production without having to reach behind my back. I had been using CR pouches, and it looks like I will be selling those, and they certainly beat the heck out of any carry mag pouches for speed.
The only slight negative is the limited amount of adjustment. It is great for tension both for mag retention and fit on the belt. It is also provides 180 degrees worth of adjustability from straight up and down to horizontal front and back. However, this is done in set increments (there is a pin that holds the angle) so they are not completely customizable (oh well, get used to it).

While shooting minor may not be the best approach to winning at the hightest levels, it is not a bad place to start in developing skills. Shooting minor will definitely prevent you from shooting too fast and being sloppy, and once you have made it a habit to shoot A's, it should stay with you when you transition to major PF.
In my limited experience, I have tried to shoot production (minor) and limited (major), and the habits I have developed in production have made me a better limited shooter. I will actually be trying production and open (minor) next season to continue this trend.

1) to understand what I do right,
2) to understand what I do wrong,
3) to always improve, and
4) to go from D to GM as quickly and safely as my skills will allow.
-
Congrats on the D! I'm with you.
My first card came in D for production and C for limited. I am pretty happy with that considering I never shot pistol until this year when I started IPSC. Still have a few more classifiers waiting to be posted so we will see what I end up with at the end of the year.

Somewhere in the links that Eric has posted is a reference to the dot drill or dot torture. It is great for indoor practice session especially if your range allows you to draw from a holster.

I've been shooting an XD for two years now, and really enjoy the pistol. I purchased it used so no telling how many rounds through it, but I put at least 2,000 rounds through it with no problems. I had Rich at Canyon Creek fit the barrel and perform his magic on the trigger, and I like it almost as much as my much more expensive 1911's.
