  1. It was my first match, so I was not sure it was contrary to the rules. For all I knew, he was correct, and I was just complaining about a rule I disagreed with, so I let it go.
  2. When he first told me that I had to put the safety on (while the hammer is down) I did contest it with him (twice actually) because it seemed so unreasonable. He kept paraphrasing some rule about every safety that the gun is capable of, must be used. I could not find any similar wording in the rule book. I did make a reasonable attempt to understand the rules before I posted here. Of course, I agree with everyone here, I just wanted to confirm I did not miss something in my research. I do hope to make it to the next match (if it ever quite raining down here).
  3. OK, thanks for the replies. I don't want to offend the guy. He was very nice, friendly and helpful to me all day. The S2 came with two safety lever, one with a ledge and the other smooth. I'm using the smooth once since I did not expect to need it. I was going to change it out, if he had been correct. It's kind of hard to get traction on. But, I will leave it "as is" and address it tactfully if/when I see him again.
  4. I have a CZ Shadow 2 and I shot my first Steel Challenge last Saturday and the RO said I had to start with hammer down in DA mode (seems safe and reasonable), but that I also had to engage the safety (seems severely redundant). I didn't want to be "that guy", so I went along, but wanted to get a confirmation on that requirement. The Steel Challenge rule book doesn't cover it, and it is my understanding that SC fall under USPSA so I "assumed" that if not specific to SC, then USPSA rules apply. (is that correct?) In looking thru the USPSA section 8.1.2.2 Firearm "Ready Conditions / Self-loading firearms / Double action" all it says "chamber loaded, hammer fully down or decocked". The RO insisted, that I must activate every safety the firearm is capable of activating. If your pistol doesn't allow the safety to be activated while the hammer is down, then fine, but if it does, it must be activated. Thanks!
