That could be a good question. An exception would be if you had the magazine before 2013. https://www.shouselaw.com/co/blog/laws/what-are-colorado-gun-laws-as-to-magazine-capacity/

Has anyone tried the accuracy with a Zev slides installed vs. Legion slides? https://www.zevtechnologies.com/ZEV-Z320-XFive-Octane-Slide-with-RMR-Optic-Cut-Gray

I'm confused, isn't this thread about adding .22lr?

Except...following that argument USPSA should have one division only, of further only one firearm with only one modification schedule.

Same for my back. It would be an issue if your group likes to put steel plates into columns where you have to shoot one before you can see the other. As for competition with other shooters. What I've seen it doesn't really impact them. You make accommodation for the rim-fire shooters, not everyone else. If I could find a few more mags for my S&W I would probably do it as well, as I have tens of thousands of .22s, but not nearly as much 9mm.

Same here. They use pull rope for moving targets, leave a tight head shot for some drop targets, allow .22s to count if the steel is knocked over etc. There is some adaption required but it is not bad. I imagine it would be more difficult in a USPSA match which normally has a lot of falling steel.

What he said. I find with the current bullet prices I've focused more on IDPA, primarily because of the lower ammo count.

Thats all well and good, but if the range bans your club the rulebook is worth less than nothing. I have had one range close because of errant rounds and another put its clubs "on notice" that if rounds go over the berm, that club is done. The perils of massive growth.

So true. Unlike you fine people I am a suckie old fart shooter, and this really applies. Yes, often in local matches I am in the same boat. However, this can be rectified. Don't RO every match. If asked, and you will be, be honest and say that you are taking this match off to focus. Also bringing this up with your club to start a drive to motivate volunteers to step up can be helpful.

Twice. Once. The first time I was ironically the SO for the squad. Fumbled the pistol on the draw. No biggie. Took a few shooters off to get my head back in the game and SO'd the rest of the match. When SOing/ROing I will often announce to the squad I've only had to DQ 3 people and one was myself, so lets not ruin my streak. Second nearly 2/3 done with local match. Popped a round before sights on target, completely my fault. The only issue was that the RO and other RO's getting into a discussion about whether it was enough to be a DQ while I stood there with Deer Eyes. Again no biggie. Helped tape for the rest of the match.

Yes I have an older M&P with those sights and they are excellent. Also available, fully adjustable sights from LPA: http://www.lpasights.com/en/products/spf02sw/ http://www.lpasights.com/en/products/sps02sw6f/ Also Hi Viz. S&W sells a version on their M&Ps. I believe its elevation only adjustment but not sure. As an RO I've seen these and they are bright! https://www.hivizsights.com/product/litewave-h3-tritium-litepipe-sw-mp-sight-set/ https://www.hivizsights.com/product/sw-mp-adjustable-sight-set/ One can always combine Hi Viz or Dawson front sight and LPA fully adjustable rear sight.

I may have to steal that phrase. While I have a Sig 320 I miss shooting my old M&P pro. The adjustable grip was a real blessing to me.

CO is the poor man's Open, and its ideal for old farts like myself with poor eyes. With modern CO/RMR's, its hard to beat for the price.

Wo, now we're just getting crazy.

Thank you for the clarification.

We shot IDPA style matches with shotguns in similar fashion on plates. We followed the rule of a 12 yards minimum and were good. The IDPA standard is 10 yards for steel and I think similar for USPSA.

I wonder if this will actually have the effect of increasing the number of Production shooters, especially with Glocks/M&P types.

Yes, I bought my last pistol (which is RD compatible) with the view that as the eyesight deteriorated I'd probably shift from iron sights over to it.

1. The strong desire to get my head handed to me. 2. As has already been noted, usually the stage props are more developed. While I have found local clubs can put on stages as good or better ( and frequently we steal the stages for our own local matches) they typically don't have all the gear to put together the typically prop intensive stages for every stage that are often seen at majors.

If not one pops up with one, give me specific details and I could probably work up a quick one.

Thats brilliant! You're already steps ahead of me. I may try that in the future. I have heard very good things about Hunter's Gold.

Remember the issue is really the prescription. You can get many types of sunglasses and safety glasses with prescription. But the prescription itself has to be tailored to shooting. In your area ask around for a good doc who works with shooters on their prescriptions. It really helps. ...then later get a carry optics like everyone else with bad eyesight...:)

You could actually do "shooting" scenarios online. Have a shooter doing his thing and the instructor go through what was wrong, where to best stand etc. etc. Frankly its a good thought for a best practices tips videos. As an SO/RO (depending on match), I'd love some sort of best practices session or videos like that.

In addition to all these points: look up USPSA stages as well. They can give you ideas. Clubs I am at have often adopted USPSA stages with minor tweeks to make things different. Facebook has a USPSA and ISPSC Stage Design Page which has interesting stages that can be excellent fuel for stages.

3 gun. If they can bring a full carbine to your pistol match, they will win...
