I’ve seen used razors sell for 850-900. I have one and love it. I don’t think I could let mine for for that price.
-
Red stitch. Competitive price, great quality, and the owner supports the sport of 3 gun. I like the magnets that are used on red stitch stars better than the spring on other stars.

I put my inner belt with the overlap in the front and the outer belt with the overlap in the rear. I locate my holster in the correct position on my hip when putting on the outer belt.

Been there. I’ve went as far as marking one with a paster to make sure it was the last mag I’d grab to get through the day.

I was actually fixing to order a set of these but i think i will wait until they come out with a better mounting system. I love everything i have form DAA. Cant wit for them to find a fix for this.
I agree. Please keep me posted. I’d like to try your’s out before buying.

Never heard of them. How do they hold up over time?

I’ll average 3-4 club matches per month during warm weather and maybe 2 per month from December - February.

Whether or not you need to be staring with laser focus at your front site, as some have suggested, is a topic for another day. In competitive shooting we use all types of different focus depths depending on the target and the situation. I can tell you two things. If you are staring at a crisp front sight for every shot you will be slow. If you are looking for bullet holes you will be slow.
Dry fire alot. Train your brain what a good site picture looks like for a shot at different difficulty levels. Call bad shots in dry fire. Its easier to do when there is no explosion going off in front of you. Learn to pull the trigger without disrupting your sight picture. Learn how to pull the trigger hard and fast without disrupting your sight picture. Then take that information to the range. If you have never seen your sight lift at the moment the shot breaks before I recommend pointing your gun at the berm, not a target, and just rip shots off and watch what happens. You will see stuff and a lightbulb will go off. Make sure your not blinking when the shot breaks. Try double plugging if needed.
Running bill drills at 20 yards is also a great shot calling exercise for me. Learn what a good trigger pull and sight alignment rewards you at different distances. Learn what a deviated sight awards you at different distances. Its not easy. It sucks. Its kinda boring. But as others have said if you only practice one thing until you get it right this is it. It will save frustration and wasted ammo.
Solid advice!

6) dot drills 5.0 par
3) 7 yard bill drill 2.30 par
3) 15 yard bill drill 3.30 par
3) 25 yard bill drill 4.30
6) dot drills 5.0 par to get you back on sights
These are minimums in my opinion. You can add more if time and round count permits

Make a plan and have fun! Stage craft will come in due time.

If you are competitive by nature, 40 is the way to go especially if you plan on shooting more uspsa matches than anything else.I faced the same dilemma earlier this year. I bought a DVC 9mm because my main focus was 3 gun and roughly 2 months later I bought a Cheely 40. I spent several dollars on belt gear and reloading components and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The dvc sits in the safe and eventually I will sell it.

Thanks! I’ll check the classifieds and mid south.
-
I find all the targets first, plan my route, and plan my reload location. I then focus on movement in and out of shooting locations. I rarely run the full course of fire at 100% speed during the walk through.
-
Bill drills... this will help with recoil management and getting back on target. You can only shoot as fast as you see your sights.

Thanks it is all new to me try to change things up to keep it fun unfortunately I don’t get much live fire so have to make do
I mainly focus on correct grip in dry fire. I also work on my draw stroke and focus on fundamentals at 75-80% speed. I do dot drills, bill drills, and reloads in dry fire. Nothing in dry fire will replace recoil from live fire but I think it’ll make your range days better. I hope this helps.

Where is a good place to buy it?

they are great but not for windy days
Agreed. I built some out of 1-1/2” square tubing. They don’t move on a windy day but they aren’t the best for portability either lol.

The medium is plenty big enough for all your gear. You may need a team lift to get it on your cart if you fill it up.

Check out Everglades

I picked up a small and large dry box from the camping section in Walmart. They have an o-ring seal and two latches. The small will hold between 200-250 rounds of 40S&W.

How do these compare to the race master pouches?

+1 on the Cat Crap, I used it in Iraq, and have used it in North Carolina, I have yet to find anything that works better!
I got mine at REI (online), and you may be able to find it elsewhere!
This will be an addition to my range bag real soon! Thanks

I use a Weber tactical. It took me about 3 months to get it but the quality is good.
