    As a matter of fact “car” never appears in the rule book, neither does “parking.”  

     

    If I'm not mistaken, a car is considered private property so once someone goes into the car it's the same as going into a house.

    The other thing is to bring a dot to the optometrist (can be loose and not on a gun).  When they're doing the 'is this better than that' thing, pull out the dot and take a look through it at arms length.

     

     

    I've done the same with the slide from my Limited Gun. They were fine with it.

    If you have to load anyway, why not shoot Open major.

     

    I don't have to load but do prefer it. Although at current costs I'm thinking of shooting factory until the next crisis price gouge.

     

    I just got an MPA for LO. I love it but won't be any better with it, just maybe smiling a little more.

  4. I've read a lot of negatives about MPA here but where I shoot there are a lot of people with MPA's. Quite a few Open but also a lot of Hybrid's and LOC. Nobody has told me of any issues and I asked almost all of them before I placed my order.

    I also talked to David L with MPA and traded emails with the owner before placing my order. I have had a great experience with them and in under 16 weeks I received my MPA today. I will get it out to the range soon and I believe I will be a good test because I am not a gunsmith. I only have experience with Polymer guns (mostly FN's) but do shoot a lot in USPSA (3-4 matches a month) but also am just a C (almost B ) class shooter. 

    I have several times squeezed the trigger while the safety was engaged just to see if it would do anything and it doesn't move at all. F

    Slippery might of been a bit harsh on my part. I could for sure shoot his gun as is and I think I'd be fine. But I wouldn't describe it anything like what you're saying yours is. And he seemed really happy with everything about the gun but the grip. And it would suck to spend that much and something that major not be to your liking. 

     

    Has he reached out to MPA? I have a DS9 LOC on order and they have been very easy to deal with.

    I have seen many of their people at matches go out of their way to help people, even with guns that aren't MPA.

    People who have expressed the displeasure with the BoD has changed nothing.  The only real way to fix things in my eyes is to make it painful for the current BoD through finances.  Emails, and social media posts are not going to cut it.  Money talks.  

     

     

    If 100 members do not renew that doesn't move the needle considering all of the turnover there is yearly in membership.

    If 100 MD's go Hit Factor and not USPSA for several months, that hurts. It is much harder to find new MD's than it is to find new members. If the MD's get fed up enough to either stop altogether or not run USPSA it will matter a lot.

    Until now, only members were voicing their displeasure openly. USPSA is still a small sport with high turnover. Unless the local leaders do something then not much will change.

    I hope when all this stuff is over with in the next hopefully few months, USPSA is stronger and better run than it has ever been. And while that may not happen, maybe it'll be stronger and better run than it's been in a long time.  

     

    There was some discussion around rules that I enjoyed. There was some good stewardship happening then. 

     

    That is what I want the board to focus on. Stewardship.

    The ego's are worse than I have ever seen now days. The very reason I don't shoot much anymore. If I shoot a match today, it is for the soul reason to get together with my old shooting friends and laugh at the ego monsters. If you can afford it, buy it. You worked hard for your money, but do remember. It won't put you at the top because you spent crazy money on a work of art, unless you are Hunter Biden and you are the seller of the Art.

     

    I have been lucky with the attitudes and people I have met in A6. I have been encouraged by many GM's and even though I am a C class lifer I have always felt included and comfortable with anyone I have squadded with.

    I'm also getting an MPA DS9 LO because of the good people they have working for them and one of their sponsored shooters who I have gotten to know well.

    Again, I've been fortunate and not had the same issues with ego's around me but it would be a turn off if I did have that experience.

  9. I spent a lot of money and time trying to find an acceptable co witness setup with optics on my Glock and FN509.

     

    I finally got rid of the irons. If my dot fails it takes too long to think to switch to irons and I feel without irons if the dot fails that I am better off trusting my grip and presentment than hunting for the irons. 

  10. I prefer the 2.0 single dot reticle. I have used a SRO 2.5 for a long time so when I got the 507 I tried just about every combination and always came back to the single reticle.

    I guess I don't really care too much for all the other reticles. But the 507 comb is brighter than the SRO 2.5 it seems so I am sticking with that.

    I also got a G17 GGP optics slide and just put a Holosun 407A on it. Bright 3.0 and good enough for what I will use the G17 for. I didn't want to spend extra for reticles on the 507 when PSA had the 407A for so cheap.

    With the 507 comp I used it in a match that was wet and cold and had a jam. I didn't want to risk dropping the gun so I banged the 507 Comp on the port 3 or 4 times until it cleared the jam. The dot turned off but after the stage I went to the safe area and turned it back on then rotated through all the reticles then put it back on the single 2.0. Shot the next stage and no issue. 

    The following week I went to check the zero and it was still where it should be. I was surprised b/c I hit it so hard I expected to have to replace the dot. It seems tough enough for me and will be what I put on my MPA when it comes in.

    All the consistency really makes me think everything is good. 

     

    I try to give the benefit of the doubt whenever possible but the examples of double standards are numerous. I realize most Non-Profit BOD's are dysfunctional but the double standards with them comes across purposeful and with malice :( 

  12. For those upset about things there are now 3 elections that will occur in 2024 (A1, A2 and now A3).

     

    Enjoy your shooting and vote. There has never been a more impactful opportunity. 

  13. I was happy in CO but do have an MPA LOC on order but only because of my experience with them. 

     

    I wanted to upgrade and was looking at CZ's mostly but decided on an MPA. I have met and shot with a few of their shooters and they are good people. 

     

    I know the gun won't improve my results but I also feel good about spending money with them knowing the people and the way they have sponsored a lot of things in my area.

    Yes, and that is my problem — flat arches. If I could have a shoe with arch support like Brooks and the tread of an inov-8, that would be a match made in heaven. I haven’t found it yet. 

     

    I have flat feet and use arch support in my tennis shoes but for matches I wear Timberland hiking boots and they work great and I don't need arch support with them. 

     

    The extra ankle support helps me too.
