This is Great! I wish a video like this would have been available when I first got started out. Well done!

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.

Those of you who are slower with a dot are using it incorrectly.
Focusing on the dot instead of on the target, trying to see the world through the optic instead of looking past/around it, and not finding the dot on the draw (clear sign of a poor index) are not the dot's fault but yours.
Putting a piece of opaque tape over the front side of the lens and trying to shoot with a dot that way will show you how good or bad you really are.
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!

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!

Hello, one of the things I really like about Glocks is the parts. They are easy to change and easy to buy. Try changing out some springs on a CZ or even a Sig. Work up a good load for a Glock and shoot it alot and it will take you as far as you want to go. Is it the most accurate--no but it is accurate enough. Magazines are easy to find and just work. As for the total weight, I don't think it means as much as people say it does. I have seen some really fast splits from a production Glock 17 and 34. Lastly is cost which most other production pistols cannot come close to. Thanks, Eric
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.

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!

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.

My advice would be listen to David Goggins, people will always throw rocks at someone else trying harder. It makes their insecurities feel less. Stay strong and focus on you. Peoples ego will be the down fall of them. Stay humble and ever forward!
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.

I'll definitely be going there to check it out. I appreciate the tip, thanks for taking the time to share!

I run Gallant 180gr coated for 40, 135gr coated for 9mm. As an added bonus, if you're a veteran you get a lifetime 10% off.
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.

I just had the opportunity to buy 10,000 CCI primers ($299) and 8 pounds of IMR powder from a website called primer1.com. Good prices, $25 flat rate shipping, no HazMat, … no credit cards… only Zelle, Venmo, Apple Pay.
Me; "How about sending a photo of inventory"
That's not happening but they were willing to let me pay half up front and half after they delivered.
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!

The biggest/worst thing I've been seeing here is new members with zero posts, but with a bunch of Private Messages in their stats. We can't read those messages, but we can see the volume. Too often we find out those people created an account with no intention other than to cheat members here. They like to target Want To Buy (WTB) ads.
Post one and you might get an offer that's too good to be true, that also includes a soft payment option that's actually a requirement (gift cards, BitCoin, XYZ transfer app, etc.).
Beware.
Great advice!

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.

Do most people focus 100% on one div? I enjoy shooting iron sights.
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.
