On their Facebook page they said they are trying for a release by the end of 2019

Definitely on the wish list for Santa now, hope they can stick close to the planned release

I don't know of anyone who makes a plate that converts from one footprint to another. I'm running an SRO right now and really like it, previously I was using only DPPs.

Not cheap but another option: http://www.uniquetek.com/product/T1553

Here you go:

Most of the big names (Blazer, American Eagle, Fiocchi etc.) have been around .17/round, maybe cheaper if you catch some sales. With some of the rebates earlier this year I was able to get Lawman 124s for around $.137/round. Just gotta do some research.

Another member has an STI DVC-S in the Classifieds if you're looking for something now

Excellent job!

Tanks, hopefully you get a personal tour from her! Just kidding, but holy cow that makes me jealous. Definitely post some pictures of yours when it's done!

Unfortunately there is just not a good answer to this problem yet. From a longevity standpoint, the Trijicon RMR is probably tops. The downside is that it has a pretty small window. large bezel/frame, and the tint of the glass doesn't work for everyone. For anything else, at this point take your pick but at least make sure it has a good warranty behind it because you will most likely need to use it.

Yes and Yes

Valid point Jack on receiving the pistol but I know several local shooters who had to wait 6+ months (my neighbor was 10 after they quoted him 6, got a custom built 2011 done in the meantime because he was sick of waiting on them) to have STI make their pistols right after running into various issues from the factory. If this smith is local to you, I'm sure he's willing to back his work and make any problems right as fast as he can.

Agreed, while I was at Hood, Copperas Cove put on some really fun matches but for USPSA and Steel Challenge APSC does an excellent job

They have an Action Pistol on 9/7 and USPSA on 9/22, hope to see you there sometime

@TK66 How'd the match go?

CK Arms has the "Solution" line starting at $2,750. Again, as most posters have said, it's your own personal preference that can drive the price difference.

I think it all depends on what you want to get out of shooting USPSA. Are you trying to compete for wins at Level II and above? If so, you're probably better off sticking with CO and saving up for a 2011. Do you only shoot Level I matches and only compete to have fun? Then shoot whatever fits your budget and your personal goals. I shoot an Open Glock 17 (currently setup for minor) because 1) it's cheap 2) it's fun 3) it's versatile (can shoot USPSA, Steel Challenge, GSSF, local Action pistol matches, etc.) 4) it runs with no issues and the biggest reason...5) THE GUN IS NOT WHAT IS HOLDING ME BACK FROM BEING COMPETITIVE! So in summary, I'm a fan of Glocks and Open Glocks but just be realistic with what you want to get out of it. You do not need a $3500 gun in order to have fun and be competitive in USPSA (even in Open).

Have fun, unfortunately I can't shoot Cortland this weekend but it’s a great group of folks

Where are you shooting this weekend? Cortland?

Those look almost exactly like the ones Red Hill Tactical has as well, must be a manufacturer making them with the ability to brand them

+1 If comps didn't at least have some tangible effect on recoil mitigation, Steel Challenge rimfire shooters probably wouldn't use them (other than to increase sound to register shots as well). So it may not have as great an effect on recoil reduction as a tuned USPSA Open gun but it is still "flatter" than a non-comped gun.

You're not getting paid to shoot, so shoot whichever one you like the most. You may even want to shoot 2 guns if your match/squadding allows it so you can see in real time what you like/don't like about each platform.
