  1. This is Great! I wish a video like this would have been available when I first got started out. Well done!
  2. As you obviously are aware, if you compete in carry optics division with your concealed carry or duty pistol, you can run a light on it. Which more than likely would have a light on it nowadays, they have become very popular, as they have been found very useful and effective for concealed carry and duty. It seemed to me the rule change to allow lights was to afford people who run their guns set up with a light and a red dot the ability to practice and compete with their potentially life saving equipment without having to change their set up. If you don't currently run a light on your carry pistol, I would strongly recommend looking into it. While doing so, I would look at current data that is being put out by professionals or professional organizations, and shy away from any dated data from sources that don't hold those qualifications. As for potential advantage in a competition setting as relates to recoil impulse or transition speed, I doubt it would be enough to make any measurable difference that would determine a win or a loss for the day for the vast majority of us. I hope that you find this helpful or at least interesting food for thought.
  3. This is a great idea. I am definitely going to try this out. I have been trying to find a SRO in 5 MOA for a good price for a while now, but they are hard to find right now. My first pistol red dot was a vortex viper, which I like. Upgraded to an RMR in 1 MOA, which works fine as well, but I find my target transitions are a little bit slower than with irons. Bought a holosun with the acss reticle, which I really like as well and helped speed up transition times, but have never thought of doing this. It will definitely be trying this out. Thanks for the good info!
  4. The match is the test. Studying for the test is practice. Take notes after every match you shoot on what you did well, and what you did not. That will help you focus your practice efforts and time, and make maximum use of your practice ammo. And never underestimate the power of focused, concentrated dry fire practice. Don't over do it with the dry fire, I'd say MAX 15 minutes a session, no more than 2 sessions a day. 1 session will do just fine though. You can work on everything but recoil management and sight tracking in dry-fire, and you can do it at home. I have a dry-fire routine, much like fitness buffs have a work out plan, and found it has worked well for me. As I identify weak areas, I focus on them a bit more in dry-fire and practice, but continue to polish those other skills. A trap I have seen a lot of guys fall in to is practicing what they are already good at, because it feels good to crush it. Don't fall into that trap. Practice what you suck at, and finish up with a drill you are good at or a certain skill you are good at to end on a good, confident note. If you practice the most what you suck at the most, you will improve much faster. Good luck, I hope that helps!
  5. With enough practice I was able to get my splits down to between .15-.2 15 yards and in with a glock 19 gen 3, bone stock internals and trijicon night sights. That is my duty side arm at work overseas, so when I started out in USPSA in 2017, I just shot one of those. With enough meaningful, dedicated, goal oriented practice, if I can do it, I would imagine anyone else could too. I own a high end 1911, 2011, and several glocks. I think they will always be a viable option for competing, and I would say due to the after market support, probably the best choice for a shooter just starting out in the sport.
  6. I’ve heard tell of pre-orders already having been submitted and a backlog for this thing growing. Covid supply chain issues and CZ’s stateside manufacturing being located in New York, and therefore subjugated to NY laws and covid regs, has really laid the speed bumps down in the path of the DWX delivery times. NY state considers gun manufacturing non-essential, so every time they get a covid spike there they get shut down. I would really like to see them move to a free state like others in the industry have done. Florida would love to have you CZ!
  7. Obsessiveshooter, in trying to determine if that was one of the best trolls i’ve seen in a while, or if indeed there were instock primers at midwayusa, I did in fact see that CCI #41 primers are in stock and available, fyi. 1 box limit at the moment.
  8. Truth! Humility and determination will get you to your goals everytime. In fact, not reacting to these types of people backfires on them, gets into their head. Even more so when the targets and shot timer reflect that they have no effect on you.
  9. I'll definitely be going there to check it out. I appreciate the tip, thanks for taking the time to share!
  10. Do you have to bell out your case mouth quite a bit with these bullets, or no? With blue bullets QC there is no more belling required than an FMJ. Are these similar? Thanks.
  11. Right now, if they aren’t a well known and established business/website and they have a suspicious amount of inventory in stock, it’s definitely a scam. Thanks for the post, i’ll be sure to avoid that search result as well!
  12. As many as you can afford. I say this because let’s say you only have 1 hour to train. Do you want to spend 15-20 minutes worth of that time cramming mags, or spend all of it shooting/training? The more mags you have the better, IMO. Having plenty of extras is always handy when one of your mags craps out on you eventually as well. For matches, I bring two sets worth of mags that I have proven work in practice for whatever division I am shooting, loaded up and ready to go. Instead of spending time cramming mags at the match, I spend it watching how the better shooters dissect the stages, getting my stage plan together, or BSing with other shooters.
  13. It seems most shooters tend to dedicate to one division, mainly because having set ups for multiple divisions can add significant cost increase for equipment. Add another firearm, holster, and mag pouches to the gear list at minimum. There are some shooters who shoot multiple divisions as well though. I like shooting limited, but will shoot single stack every once in a while just for grins.
  14. New guy here. Located in Orlando, FL. For the central FL shooters on here, where is your favorite place to shoot besides Universal Shooting Academy?
