If you are good enough to put two bullets in the same hole, then you are also good enough to spread them apart. Its also a good reminder that you are probably shooting too slow for the given target difficulty. A fist size hit displacement on two aggressive shots is usually a good indicator that you are shooting at the proper aggressive pace.
I too have had perfect doubles that ended up as misses during a match and after reviewing video footage afterwards shows both bullets hitting the exact same spot on the target or berm. If there isn't evidence of two hits on the target that an overlay can distinguish, I don't question it because its pointless. In every one of these situations, when I reviewed the footage my shooting pace was slower than it should have been for that target. As I said above, if I was shooting that target with the proper aggression, then it would have spread out the hits. Lesson learned, don't shoot like a wimp.

it’s not really about being good, it’s more like just being…. Unlucky, because most likely you will score an Alpha/Mike.
Somehow... yes

Does anyone else LOL at the irony of this statement and the others that my double must have been an alpha - mike? "It's so close, you don't even need sights, but you must have missed the target entirely, because perfect doubles just don't happen."
I know I didn't miss. Regardless, I'm pretty sure I made the right call not making a fuss about it at the match.
There´s a big difference between hitting the close range A-zone without seeing the sights, and hitting a perfect double.
The first one is done by having a good index and good technique, the second one need´s a kind of recoil control, which is able to return the gun exactly !!! to the point from where the first shot started from and a trigger pull that doesn´t move the gun a micromillimeter. Or the exact same bad triggerpull
This can happen once in a while, yes.... once in a while.
The chances alpha-mike to perfect double are about 1000 to 1 i guess
If you are good...

These were 3yd targets. I did a bit of practice today, and and decided to focus on speed for most of the shooting. I setup 2 targets a bit more than 6 feet apart at 3yds. The drill was draw and fire 2 rounds into each of them. I don't consider myself to be terribly fast. In matches, I generally make up for lack of speed with accuracy. In the 5x5 classifier, the past couple of times I've done it, I've landed at the faster end of SSP SS (25-25.5s). I expect I'll eventually make it at least to EX if I can shave some time off my draws, reload, and maybe go a little faster SHO without giving up any points.
Anyway, I was able to do this drill fairly consistently in the 2.5-3s range (more often right about 2.5s), staying down-zero. Splits on each target were generally 0.2s +- a few hundredths. My draw was typically 1.5s or more, and transition time 0.7s +- 0.1. This was probably about the speed at which I shot the above mentioned portion of the stage in the match. I guess I should have tried...but I don't know that I can manipulate the trigger any faster than this (for splits on a target) without totally ignoring the sights.
It´s not the trigger, it´s the draw and the transitions. In USPSA/IPSC we aim for sub 2 seconds, 7 yards, 3 targets, all A´s.

This is too funny !!
At 5 Yards, you can easily shoot misses. You just need to switch your focus/eyes/body a bit to early.
At this distance, you can transition from one to the next target, 2 yards to the side in ~0,2 sec., which also means you can easily miss a target at this distance in this time.

I'm thinking about getting the coolfire system, but I also need a shot timer. What timer are you using that picks up the coolfire well? Thanks!
Hi!
I´d say every timer, on wich you can adjust the sensibility. I use a DAA Shotmaxx 2.

I had to start the first stage in my first ever match and it was the important IPSC long course. I was so scared and stressed, my heart was pumping like hell. All i tried to do was calling my shots.
After the stage i felt like i could collapse
and i really thought about driving back home. I couldn´t handle the pressure.
Somehow I made 2nd on that stage with 3 seconds slower than some of the top 5 but with much more points. Made 2nd overall in Production out of 31 and could´t believe it. I was very happy.
The next 5 matches i made many of the mistakes you talked about. Forgot targets, run targets over, forgot stage plans, shot silly mikes i called good, lost magazines and I even was laying on the ground, slipping out on a piece of brass (indoors).
It´s such a cool sport, but it´s very hard to handle the pressure

I have a normal xfive grip in large. They are really only a tiny little bit bigger.
They are not any longer.

I recently installed a Galloway Precision trigger bar spring on my X5 Legion. It definitely improved the trigger reset function. But I did not feel any noticeable increase in trigger pull weight.
No, you don´t really feel 100 grams.

Hi!
As some people where asking for them -> Armory Craft sells "Positive Reset Trigger Return Springs" now.
I tried them. Reset is more snappy now. Pretty nice. They increase the triggerpull weight by about 100 grams.

It´s the FCU to slide fit in my eyes. You can see the slide lift from the FCU while pulling the trigger. Once it gets spring tension from the magazine (with a round in it) it´s gone.

Again, not knowing the soda stream bottles.... is it possible that they have an internal regulator that only allows so much pressure out? The way the trainer is "charged" it can only ever be equal to the pressure coming out of the "filler" bottle. If it is low pressure then you would only get a couple of shots before it gets week. If the bottle is empty or close to empty, same thing.
Coolfire tech support is pretty good. I would reach out to them.
Thanks for the help. It starts running now. Seems like the sodastream bottles wherend filled propperly.

I have never used the soda stream tanks so I don't know how the fittingis oriented on that bottle. Is he holding the tank so that it is upside down when he fills it?
Yes he is.

What type of CO2 tank is he using? He gets 4 shots and then has to refill the barrel before he can get 4 more shots? Make sure he is using CO2 and not air.
If using CO2. Fill the barrel and listen for leaks. Could be a seal needs to be replaced or a fitting isn't tight.
It´s CO2 Sodastream tanks. The coolfire trainer is brandnew. He gets 4 shots with full power, after them it´s getting very weak. He did listen for leaks. No leaks.
He will try out new tanks.

Why are you only getting 8 or so good shots? While I don't have a VP9 kit, I do have one for my P320 and also a 1911 and I typically get 15-17 good quality shots before the recoil starts getting weak. My son has the trainer kit for his VP9 and I would swear he told me he usually gets 14-16 shots before recoil starts getting week.
Are you using the refiliiable CO2 tanks or the puncture style?
Sorry for bringing this old topic up, but a friend just got a coofire kit for his vp9 and he only gets 4 shots out of it. Do you guys have an idea what could cause the problem?

... and my timer can time every shot. Thats pretty cool.

I have no idea about open guns.
These STI DVC´s aren´t the Infinity guns Christian Sailer uses, right ?

Pre travel doesn’t really matter to me. To me the most important metric is the reset distance.
Same here. As long as your finger is long enough it doesn´t matter. Shorter reset is always nicer.

Is there anyway to get a more positive reset? I'd drop in a grey guns kit, but the warnings about "range use only" have me cautious.
The Greyguns Hybrid Kit has a "new snappy reset trigger bar spring" in it.
Maybe you can talk them into selling these individually

Something new I've discovered and added to Extended Hybrid specifically to address Glock trigger:
i wouldn´t want myself to train for releasing the trigger not far enough.

What was that ? Finger on the trigger ?

Hi fellow competitive shooters,
When I just started my IPSC journey, I was eagerly looking for content on practical shooting techniques on the Internet.
I learned a lot from books (amongst others the Brian Enos book) and IPSC/USPSA shooters on Youtube, Vimeo, etc., but still sat on my hunger.
Several years on, I want return to the practical shooters community, especially the beginners.
For those who are interested, check out my "How To"-playlist on my Youtube-channel for IPSC techniques and training: shoot on the moven drop step, table starts, turns, and much more ...

Enjoy!

Mason Lane won Limited Nationals with a GGI P320 in 40S&W recently:https://www.instagram.com/p/CG0ZJd_JBkz/?igshid=59v5qbmhdppy
He used the TXG grip and it worked well enough for him
He did train for about 500 rounds and then shot the match.
That doesn´t tell very much about long term reliability.
