    Just to be sure (I can be slow at times)... I can shoot a Shadow 2 in IDPA Carry Optics - correct?

     

    Also, I'm in the Fort Wayne area. The IDPA match I plan on starting to shoot at is the one in Wabash (on 4th Saturdays). Do you ever shoot there?

     

    The out of the box Shadow 2 weighs 46.5 oz which is already 1.5 ounces ABOVE the IDPA weight limit for Carry Optics (45 ounces) and 3.5 ounces ABOVE the IDPA weight limit for ESP (43 ounces). So the answer to the question "I can shoot a SHadow 2 in IDPA Carry optics?" is ..NO.  A stock Shadow 2 with even the lightest optic on it will weigh well above the 45 ounce limit for both IDPA and USPSA Carry Optics. Weight has to be removed in order to do it.

    Ask and you shall receive. IDPA legal Shadow 2

    What is the Mag Release?   Did you just remove the oversized pad from the Shadow 2 mag release?  The other legal ESP gun claims to have a Cajun ES29 Mag Release installed.  The Cajun ES29 is an extended safety not a mag release.  I cannot see the release as it is obscured by the IDPA logo on the closed box. 

  3. USPSA is a sport - there's a physical element to it, unlike a static contest of shooting skill like Bullseye or GSSF. Personally I like "track meet" stages since I'm 36 and still move pretty much as fast as I did at 25. That's changing slowly year by year, and things like a chronic wrist injury are starting to catch up with me... but I LOVE how physical practical shooting is. I wouldn't have it any other way.

    I do not like going prone - I simply don't shoot very well there, and that's why I love it when stage designers make me do it. I do like seeing stages where one of the competitive ways to attack the stage allows prone shooting to be your final position... so those with old stiff joints don't have to get back up on the clock

    Prone as last shooting position would conform to IDPA rules. (So you'l probably never see it in a USPSA match!)

  4. Welcome aboard :)

    Whatja shootin'?

    Reloading, yet?

    I shoot a CZ 75 SP01 Shadow in IDA and USPSA Prod and just started using an STI Edge in .40 for USPSA Limited. I've been shooting for almost 3 years (I actually started late in life).

    I reload 9MM and also some 45ACP (I shoot Bullseye centerfire and .22) use Titegroup and 147 GR RN (mostly Berry;s but also Xtreme)

    My next venture is probably 3 gun although there is very little around here in MA for matches.
