It is good info! No blind loads.... however this thread is 15 years old hahaha.

Some people say the “Im losing to the person with 2 bad knees” but aren’t athletic at all. I’m not saying that that’s OPs case but in person that’s what I’ve noticed. In this sport the athletic side of things is extremely ignored by most shooters. However, in my experience, fitness will take you from being last at local match to top 10. Watch people like jj or speedy Murdock... they are athletes. You definitely gotta go work out to get those results though. Train sprints everyday etc, for most people running is just generally an uncommon thing to do even if we all subconsciously think we can do it. It’s a skill that needs to be trained. Aside from the fitness level holding people back, the other element is the equipment side. My rig was holding me back majorly when I first started. Ghost pouches with 1 retention clip don’t do the job so there was a mental block of how fast is too fast before my mags fall out. After running pcc with no belt for awhile I was mind blown at how much faster I got just due to movement. In short, get your rig locked down, and train explosive! It takes effort to move the way you want to! Obviously sprints in dryfire as an extra is also good.

I got burn out due to being overwhelmed. I wanted to do full carry optic conversion, get a real competitive pcc, and upgrade the reloading press. I just felt like I had a lot to do to make shooting care free again. But I just spent the money and got it all done and I'm super excited to get back into it and dryfire and compete again.

I think stretching and then working up heart rate is super important. Gets your mind alert and your body ready to move. Some draws or something before classifier at safe area maybe is a good idea.

Never look for hits. Ever. Look at sights or dot and know when you pulled the trigger.

Your plan should never be to count. If its a habit to do so, definitely work to eliminate it. The way you know how many rounds you have till reload is by stage planning. Memorize actions not counting. So when you do the walk-through don't go "1, 2... 3, 4...." just look and memorize what you see and what you will do. No counting. If you need verbal when you walk-through say "bang".

I run a 403b which only has the dot reticle. I won't lie... for the price holosun is really nice. I've never had any problems with it and the quality and finish are fine as well. Ran the 403b for an entire year and never changed the battery. Reason for the 403 over others is because of the tube. The battery is housed in a slide out tray in the base of the sight, meaning that the tube is thinner than some of the competition not having a battery housing mounted on the side of the tube. In the future I definitely want to experiment with the 510 not for the circle but for the larger window. Also... green

yes you are right it was bad wording on my part. I can't see it shooting that radically different. I think the more major thing will be weight and hand placement.

So, I just heard the podcast with Leograndis. He claims that before nationals he switched to a homemade 5in and 10 in shroud. He said it didn't like it and switched back to a 14 pin and weld. Now he's back to using it with the limcat. With that info, i'd guess that it probably is no real advantage over a 14 and at that point just go with whatever. JP recently has been leaking info on their instagram about their new ultralite 9mm which will be, in theory, the exact same as the lim cat with an aluminum shroud and a comp welded onto that. Just less ridiculous looking with a lightweight slim handguard that's full length instead of coming halfway like the limcat.

I won't lie I definitely am skeptical of the 10" pin and weld.. never used one so maybe that's why. seems it just limits options with holding it.

I’ve been loading for the past year with Universal Clays... also given to me by my reloading mentor lol. Never got a chance to chrono but did recently and wow... I was shocked when my velocity was all over the place. This is the first time I’ve read that this powder is hard to meter. Reloading on a 650 if it’s a press issue. What did you do to remedy it? Or just use it up and move on? I bought a bunch of titegroup already to switch to once the universal is done.

I as well would recommend a different dot than an rmr. RTS2 or a DPP is the way to go for sure.

Yes they are possible. The difference between the shadow SP-01 and normal 75B SP-01, is the presence of a firing pin block. This will determine how low you can mill. Just make sure you send it to a reputable place and make them aware.

I have not seen anyone with this done. But if I had only one rig to shoot and definitely didn't see myself buying a dedicated production setup, then yes I would go with the plate. If in the future I thought I'd get a new production rig then I'd just mill right down.

Love seeing all these people making weight without lightening cuts done. Just got a Shadow 2 and am sending it off to get milled and lightened so I am less worried about making weight. However, I am using TTI and standard g10 no palmswell so we'll see when I get it all back.

Got CZC tuned one. Honestly its pretty damn good and no need to upgrade but once the funds come around in a few more months I'll put the full cajun parts kit. They take the feel to a whole new level.

Saw Leograndis post about being sponsored by limcat to shoot pcc. Didn't even know they made one. What do you guys think about the tron? Just bought a gmr so not interested in buying but curious how you guys think it stacks up It'll be good to have another upper level pcc build competitor

I know a few guys who ran MPX's and they have all stopped working around 10,000 rounds. Every single one has had major spring issues constantly and then has had cycling issues around that round count. Some quit and some switched to jp and haven't had any problems since. lol Recently bought a gmr to switch out for my scorpion. Scorpion has held up fine but it's not even on the same level as the gmr

Definitely try both a liquid chalk (progrip or liquid grip) and standard climbing chalk. I shoot in Florida as well, it's an absolute necessity. I find that liquid grip can be almost too "sticky" making it more complicated to do certain gun manipulations. Chalk, I find, has no stick and is just dry and frictiony. It's all personal preference at that point though. Downside with chalk is that it's extremely messy. Try both, you will see that it makes a huge difference at matches.

I use black diamond climbing chalk. Throw it in a zip lock and it looks like I'm testing out some performance enhancing drugs for the match lol... I used chalk once from this very good shooter and I was amazed at how well it works. Went out and bought a giant bag of it. Not sticky but just a lot of friction and dry. The only downside to the chalk, pretty major problem, is the fact that it gets EVERYWHERE. It's messy as f*#k to use and definitely a pain. Maybe its the fact that it feels very rudimentary, that it feels like it works so well. I need to do more testing of liquid and pro grip and I am very interested in making my own liquid chalk as well. Also, I'm glad the people in this thread mentioned "sticky" as a component. I see that often over looked when talking about grip enhancers. I've found a popular liquid chalk brand (can't remember which) way too sticky and it was just uncomfortable to manipulate the gun doing different things like reloads etc. I've stuck with chalk because there's no sticky feeling at all. Its just dry and a lot of friction.

Yeah don't look at gun, train the muscle memory of your draw. From there you can either look dead ahead not focused on anything or focused on your first action of the stage wherever you need to run to or whatever you need to shoot

like others have said, with a dot theoretically, it is on the same focal plane as what ever you are looking at past it. So always target focus. This might not be a popular opinion, but when I used to shoot irons, I got considerably better when I stopped focusing on the irons plane. I just practiced a lot doing only target focus and it was much similar to shooting a blurry red dot lol I got much better at shooting in general when I switched to a red dot. It taught me what I need to see in general and I carried that over to irons.

honestly, another option would be to get a very very small FO maybe in a green color. and/or sharpie out the major top to dim it considerably.

Yeah I'm confused at the purpose of what they are asking as well. In terms of weight reduction or distance reduction. Weight obviously like everyone says, lighter hammerspring and ext fp etc. but for distance you'd have to do something like the cajun reach reduction kit.

Yeah you can direct mill. You just need to find a company to do it and tell them what optic or send it with the gun. cajun gun works will do it and so will cz custom or a local shop. alternatively czc sells a dovetail mounting plate but I’d recommend just doing the full mil
