Hello. Are there any clubs in the Uvalde, Del Rio, Bracketville , Eagle Pass, etc region of Texas to shoot USPSA style competitions? Indoor or outdoor. I have searched Practiscore but even finding a local match I know is happening can be a challenge at times on that site. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies. I will go out again and see if I can sort some things with the grip. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

I track the sights through recoil and the gun feels like it should be settled, and previous to this outing it would be settled, but now the front sight moves or bounces a few times and I have to wait for it to finish before taking my next aimed shot. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

It is hard to explain. It feels almost like it is whipping. More up and down but a little side to side. I see it more than I feel it. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

Be patient while I try and explain this. Xdm 5.25 40 limited gun. Bought used with 14lb recoil spring on factory guide rod. I have shot a couple thousand rounds through it and a few matches. So this issue I will explain is new, just started on my last range trip. After firing a round and while the slide is cycling and my sights are returning to the target the slide shakes three or four times at the very end of the recoil cycle. This never used to happen. The sights would settle with no shake. The front sight/slide shakes just enough that the front sight will move outside the rear sight window. It is always 3 or 4 times after the pistol had just leveled and returned to battery. This makes follow up shots feel very slow. The only thing I can think of is that the recoil spring is "whipping" or bouncing on return to battery. Especially since the bounce or shake was always the same number of times. I am buying a new recoil spring but any other ideas? Anyone else experience this? Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

Foxtrot Mike. I don't shoot PCC in competition but mine runs and runs. If you look for deals and buy the upper and lower separately you can be into the gun for under $600. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

This. I always explain it as rolling my chin towards my right shoulder. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

Buy two 1/8" tungsten welding rods. Cut to length (each rod will give you two pieces). Rough up the inside of the guide rod with a chainsaw file. Fill with epoxy (I used Gorilla brand) and insert the four tungsten rods. The rods will fit tight with no wiggle. Wait 24 hours. Shoot. This is heavier than the stainless steel guide rod. Total cost $8.00. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

That must be it. Thanks for your input. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

Sorry Korn. I was being a smart a$$. I am listening to Steve Anderson's podcast as we speak. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

What is dry fire? Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

I will be honest. All I know about IDPA is that you draw from "concealment" and they tell you what order to shoot targets in. Neither of those aspects sound appealing to me personally. I'm not even sure that is true but I've heard guys on here say it when talking smack about IDPA. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

I figured that was what you meant after reading it again. And I have seen much better shooters than I do similar prep to what you are explaining. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to get kicked out of a match doing what I do. It may change down the road but at this time it is my routine that I feel confident with before a stage.

Ahh, ok. I get what you are saying. I understand it is a sport. I'm not try to make it something it isn't. At this time I prefer not to draw and pull the trigger on an unloaded pistol at load and make ready. Simple as that. You do your way. I will do mine. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

I can't decipher emoji. But thanks for contributing to thr discussion. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

Thank you for the comments. I'm not asking you to do it. I am asking if it is legal. Personally I would never draw a handgun out of the holster and pull the trigger unless I was ready to shoot because any other time except on the uspsa range that gun will be chambered and ready to fire. To each their own. Don't try to make a moral argument out of my procedure. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

I have read the rule book. And the subsection in chapter 8. I was asked not to do it during a non official USPSA style event so I just wanted to make sure I hadn't been getting away with anything I shouldn't be. Thank you for all the responses. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

I have only shot a handful of USPSA events so I am still a new guy. My question is this: Am I allowed to take a sight picture after I load and make ready but before I holster the weapon to start the stage? My routine or habit so far has been to load a magazine and chamber a round and punch out a single time for a sight picture. Then slowly holster the pistol, move a magazine to the front pouch and put hands at sides. I just want to change this routine if it is against the rules before I get DQed. Thanks.

Thanks cowboy Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

What you said makes sense. I am not against shooting something local or unsanctioned in the area if anyone knows of some shoots. Be happy to get any trigger time really. Again, thanks for the response. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

I appreciate the response. I have checked Practiscore a bunch. Oh well. And I thought Texas was a gun state! Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

Anything within an hour or so of Mcallen? Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the replies. Houston and Austin are probably too far. I will be deep in the valley. I am just looking for as many options as I can to be able to compete a few times while I am there. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk
