    Shadow 2 OR in Production

    in CZ

    Posted

    I really wonder what the logic is behind that vs allowing other guns that are optic ready on the production list.  The more i listen to the Stoeger podcast and read some of the threads here, I have come to the conclusion that the governing body of uspsa is a bit detached from the membership

    a drone sounds not only obnoxious but dangerous especially if it goes off course or has a power issue.  Imagine if that thing flies over to another bay and whacks someone who is firing?

     

    I know at some major local matches last year, Bill Duda from "Go Fast, Dont Suck" set up several giant pipe camera/erector set looking platforms (super sturdy) powered by a lawn mower battery in an ammo can at several stages.  These gopro cameras were 15' or higher, way behind the fault line, and did not interfere in any way.   They were on constant record the entire day, so everything/everyone at these stages was captured with the vids for sale on his site.  I think a tall selfie stick or modified painting, gutter cleaning pipe to hold an action camera attached to its own base or range cart is the least invasive and safest way to go.  

    safety on/safety off for competition?

    It is allowed, specifically asked and answered a couple if years ago in the USPSA magazine. You're simply using factory parts to put the gun in the condition of a G model factory gun. It's as legal as an actual G model gun.

    Can you tell me what month the magazine was as a reference?  The range master at a level 2 last fall gave me that info.

    This ^^^ is the answer you seek. It takes ridiculous rules about thumb safeties, made by people with no idea what they're talking about out of the equation.

     

    Also makes the gun much nicer, and is how Beretta should have made the gun in the first place in my opinion. While these guns don't jam much, when they do, you stand a good chance of decocking  the gun and engaging the safety when you clear any jam you may have. Making it a G model (decocker only, no safety function on the decocker lever) eliminates this possibility. You may find yourself in DA mode, but all you have to do to clear that is pull the trigger.

    I dont think thats allowed

     

    from appendix D4

    22.1

    Disabling of any external safety or

    externally operated safety

    External and externally operated safety

    mechanisms must remain operable.

    Special Notes/Clarifications:

    •

    For purposes of this clause, a “trigger safety” is

    externally visible, and must

    remain operable.

    •

    For purposes of this clause, the prohibition on

    “disabling” means that you may NOT modify an

    external safety mechanism in any way that

    affects its function as a safety per the OFM

    design.

    Has anyone used the Nevermiss industries alpha hanger?

    Im a creature of habit and have been using the Ben Stoeger boss hanger since i started and figured if it aint broke, dont fix it.  Im about to order a GX holster for this season (a little late, I know) and I saw that outside of the boss hanger, they offer this https://gxproductsusa.com/product/nevermiss-industries-alpha-hanger/  While it looks smaller in profile I wonder if the holster will be more floppy/less stiff vs the boss hanger due to the longer attachment points on the boss.  What are your thoughts on this product?

    There is a deeper issue here; One that a few people have alluded to, namely the intent to attract new shooters to the sport. On the surface this appears to be a good thing, but reality may be different.
     

    There are a finite number of shooting ranges, some of them are not capable, or have any desire, to host USPSA matches.

     

    There will come a time when club matches fill up so fast that long-standing members simply can’t get into them. This is already happening in some parts of the country, and with the primary goal of HQ to drive those numbers ever higher then it will become more prevalent.

     

    While HQ will be bringing in more shooters, how many will be lost because they can’t get to shoot any more? How many will be lost when they get sick of 20-25 person squads, and being on the range for 8-10 hours?

     

    With the current ranges that are available, there is an upper limit to how many active members USPSA can accommodate, while I don’t know what that number is, I do wonder what the plan will be when it hits that number.

    Good point.  I didnt think of that.  THe fredericksburg match here in VA, for example, fills up almost instantly.

    I think they need to accommodate the current shooters while looking to the future.  The more people involved with shooting sports is better for everyone, keeps the sport fresh, and gets new faces to replace those that no longer wish to compete.  When I was stationed at Fort Bragg I would shoot skeet competitively.  Aside from one female around my age (mid 20s) everyone else had 20 or more years on me.  Skeet is dying because it didn't appeal to newer shooters and the fact that a lot of the old timers had 15K rolex watches and 30k+ kreighoff shotguns made it a little intimidating since i was shooting a citori as old as i was with briley tubes and a suunto watch i was issued.  putting guns in people's hands and getting them to do more with them outside of leaving them in their nightstand drawer is healthy and smart for uspsa and gun ownership long term

    CZ has been terrible the past year at least their Mil/LE team.  Ignoring emails, not responding to voice mails, playing games with the purchase program and blaming the website, and then pointing you towards their Mil/LE dealers who refuse to place an order and then not responding to emails bringing this to their attention.  The irony is that when I sent an email about T&Eing a pistol as we were looking for a new gun for our agency, they were johnny on the spot with the comms and sending out a T&E P10c and following up abou that, while ignoring all other emails.  I think im done with them and will buy a tangfolio and go to springfield for any future commercial 1911 purchases.
