Hey all! I'm wondering if anyone has tried to cram a P10S into the BUG box. It looks like it's a hair too long but the manufacturer specs usually aren't too exact. BUG Guidelines: Max Barrel Length: 3.5” Max Length: 6.5" Max Width: 1.375" Max Height: 4.625" Max Weight: 26 oz P10S Specs: Barrel Length: 3.5” Length: 6.6" Width: 1.25” Height: 4.6” Weight: 24.4 ozs

What division are you running? I guess technically it could go in ESP or SSP, right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So... sorry to be one of those people but I find myself in the market for a new USPSA gun and I'm wondering what everyone's long-term thoughts are on the Pro XT? I've had my eye on it since it came out but always shied away from it for one reason or another. The (relatively) low-cap mags are a disadvantage, but the fact that the trigger pull rivals a tuned-up CZ has me looking at it really hard. My only concern is that my stubby sausage fingers won't be able to run it properly. Also, this is decocker-only, correct? No option to run it in single action with a safety?

Those are like... Sir Mixalot BIG butt Big Butts. Custom?

Really good advice in this thread - thank you. I'm still going to work on splits - I feel like they could be faster than they are without getting sloppy. I'll start looking at other parts of my game, too. I know for sure that my draw is slow, but I think I could find room for improvement in target acquisition and reloads, too.

Oh, yeah, this one is for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you everyone! I'll start working some of these into my range time. Interesting. So you get a full sight picture before you break each shot?

Thanks, appreciate it. I think this one is in good shape but I honestly don't really know what I'm looking for. I cleaned it with a non-ammonia cleaner when I bought the gun and that's been the extent of my interaction with it. I guess I should know this, but are all Ti 8-shot cylinders cut for moons?

Hey spinnygunners, I've been shooting wheelies for a couple years now and decided to try and improve in earnest (finally). Obviously a lot of what we shoot is double-taps on paper and that's also one of the things that's harder with a revo than a bottom feeder, so I was wondering if anyone had specific drills or strategies they use to increase speed and accuracy? Shooting as fast as I can, I can get both shots into a 6" target at 13 yards, but they tend to both be low and not exactly impressive groups. I suppose I can just keep doing it until I improve on trigger pull and I learn where the sights should be when I break the second shot but I figured smarter people than me might have better approaches... Any help appreciated!

Out of curiosity, what's the going rate on a 8-shot Ti cylinder? My new to me TRR8 came with one and I'm trying to weight out if I want to use it or stick with the steel one.

Kidding aside, a 4" version would make a great IDPA gun.

Awesome! The Pro is the DA/SA model, right? Was the trigger necessary to help with the SA pull or just the DA?

First, sorry if this is a double post - I tried searching but the combination of "Witness" and "Match" turns up quite a few hits. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Witness P Match (the single-action version)? I'm specifically interested in the shape and size of the frame. As an individual of the sausage-fingered variety, I tend to have problems shooting the larger-framed EAA's and even some CZ's. Obviously the metal frame guns will be better for recoil mitigation but I'm not overly concerned about it in a nearly-2lb 9mm platform. Any other thoughts appreciated!

Ah, I get you now. Don’t worry, you’re dealing with shooters - if they weren’t bitching about that, it would be something else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was thinking that it wouldn't be the worst idea to make the tablets easier to track, haha. Drop me a PM?

Perfect! Thank you!

Hey all! I'm running matches using Kindle Fire HD 6's. The color screens and responsiveness of the devices are awesome, but the high-gloss screens can be problematic in the Colorado sun. Has anyone found sun shades that work with their scoring devices? Amazon has a bunch of them that look great and are quite cheap, but they're all designed to be used in landscape format rather than portrait.

I believe all the 9mm's do. You could also reach out to Armscor if you want 100% validation.

I'm a "C" challenging a "GM". Not really, lol. I'm 99% sure that I can shoot faster than Pat. The difference is, he would hit something.

Challenge accepted. See you Sunday?

Haha, no worries! That's one thing I enjoy about IDPA and ICORE - you can't burn down a stage shooting alpha/charlies and beat someone who went somewhat slower and shot all A's.

I get that. I just saw an opening for a humorous(?) anecdote and took it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You’re not wrong. It’s funny how the “realistic” game needs so many extra rules to make it competitive. Not realistic, mind you, because I guess it’s only realistic to carry magnum rounds in moons but not standard PF. Coz... reasons. It makes it literally impossible to use a 9mm revolver. Again, I guess 9mm is ONLY sufficient protection in SSP, ESP, BUG, CO, and PCC... but put it in a revo and suddenly it loses ALL stopping power. Or something. And 8-shot revolvers OBVIOUSLY don’t exist in the wild despite S&W making a snubnose 627 (to say nothing of 4” guns). Sigh. All my whining aside, those are the rules of the game and I’ll stick to them when I play it. It gives me more time behind a wheel gun so I’ll take it. Plus... I look damn good in a vest.

ORLY?! Because the last IDPA match I was at, I was immediately informed I was cheating because I was using moonclips. Ignoring that it was perfectly legal since I was shooting magnum power factor, IDPA revo is such a weird beast - less barrel, less ammo, twice the power compared to most divisions. They must have been dealing with some really fast revo shooters when they were writing the rules given the Harrison Bergeron-type limitations they imposed on the division. Anyway, I've just always liked revolvers with no real reason as to why. ICORE L6 is my favorite division because I like the feel of an L-frame more than an N, but I've finally settled on some agreeable N grips for ICORE Limited and USPSA.

Huh. You know, I thought I had to use magnum cases in order to use moons. Re-reading the rules, I’m not clear if that’s actually the case. It wouldn’t take a lot of speed to get these to 155 PF... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
