2024 Steel Challenge Rankings Projection
CClassForLife replied to jrdoran's topic in Steel Challenge
Might not be a problem. I think some names for Practiscore competitor were having issues when they were 2 characters or less. L3950 for example. -

People with first or last names that are 2 characters or shorter? -
Anyone mounted a red dot to a blue gun?
CClassForLife replied to ColoradoNick's topic in Training Techniques
Brass threaded inserts for plastic. Drill holes where you want the optic to be. Use a soldering iron to set the inserts into drilled holes. -

At the very minimum, you get an FTSA for not activating the target. So you got scored the most lenient way possible. See 9.9.2 in combo with 9.9.3. Specifically, "Activated scoring targets which do not comply with the above criteria are considered disappearing targets and will not incur failure to shoot at or miss penalties, unless they are not activated (Rule 9.9.3 applies). Activated appearing scoring targets will always incur failure to shoot at and miss penalties if a competitor does not activate the target movement either before or with the last shot fired in a course of fire." In a funny turn of events, you got scored exactly how you intended. Although, it's -25 points not -5 as you calculated (-10 for miss, -10 for FTSA procedural for the disappearing target, -5 for potential hit). As for your question, let's say there's a long wall perpendicular to your view. Also, let's say that there's a target behind this wall. If you "shoot at" this target, you should get disqualified on the spot. What you did was so strange that it probably didn't compute in the moment, and they gave you the benefit of the doubt. Three possible results: -25 points (-10 miss, -10 FTSA for disappearing, -5 potential hit) -35 points (-10 miss, -10 FTSA for disappearing, -10 FTSA for steel, -5 potential hit) DQ

I think LO will absorb CO due to it being the more relaxed ruleset. 15 round production will probably never be a thing in USPSA because it will feel like too much of a loss. Time will tell.

LO will end up absorbing CO.

3.8 grs if you're using coated bullets. 4.0 grs if using JHP. Gives ~130 PF through a 4.7" Sig AXG.

It costs me more to reload than buying rounds right now. However, I like to shoot JHP to prevent compensator fouling. This and being able to dial in my loads make it worth the ~5 cent per round premium. However, if all my guns were uncompensated, then I would just buy the cheapest CCI Blazer. Current breakdown of my minor loads at replacement cost: Brass - 5.8 cp (Blazer headstamp fully processed from A+ Brass) Powder - 3.0 cp (4.5 gr N340) Bullet - 9.5 cp (PD 124 gr JHP V2) Primer - 11.0 cp (CCI 500/550) Total of 28.3 cpr

JP GMR-15 or Sig MPX PCC final considerations
CClassForLife replied to Fasthenk65's topic in Pistol Caliber Carbine
If what you want is within your means, then get that. The thing you want already has a lead against everything else when it comes to the thing that actually matters (which is making you want to use the gun). My experience, expectations, and wants are different than yours. Personally, I would get the Saint because I already know how much better the other things shoot comparatively. However, they aren't that much better to justify the tradeoffs and/or cost. For you, that calculation might be completely different. -
Do you mean hard leans to the right?

JP GMR-15 or Sig MPX PCC final considerations
CClassForLife replied to Fasthenk65's topic in Pistol Caliber Carbine
Springfield Saint Victor PCC is fantastic for <$1200. If I was getting my first PCC all over again, then that's what I would buy. Maintenance is easy as it's direct blowback and reliability should be better than its Glock counterparts due to the way the rounds feed. This is coming from a person who started with a JP GMR-15. -
Springfield Armory Saint Victor 9mm PCC
CClassForLife replied to Tampa-XD45's topic in Pistol Caliber Carbine
Shot one today. Very impressed. I don't think there's a better value for ~$1000. Factory furniture is fantastic, and the handguard doesn't have barrel nut tension bolts that normally protrude on the bottom of most handguards. -
I'm not one-handed, but I did shoot matches with just one hand for a few months. Based on my testing, my one-handed performance is about 75-80% of my two-handed performance with relatively light guns (it would probably be much worse with my heavier steel guns, but I haven't tested that yet). I can probably consistently shoot B to A class Steel Challenge Carry Optics times one handed. If you do shoot a SC match and want some times for comparison, then let me know which division you chose and I'll lay down some times.

MPX Competition Gen3 Upgrade Must Haves 2023
CClassForLife replied to mandiesel's topic in Pistol Caliber Carbine
Don't worry about the muzzle device. Stock MPX shoots quite well. Honestly, I wouldn't buy any other upgrades as that just makes the gun closer and closer to the JP-5 in price. For future reference, you can call JP directly and ask for ready-to-ship models or purchase from ShootersConnection (they restock every few weeks and don't charge sales tax for non Kentuckians). @Bdh821 has the most experience with the MPX platform here, perhaps he has some insights. -
We would be fighting for last place GM

I think he meant that other lefties have a chance. On a side note, I literally just bought a sub2k for the memes. If you're actually shooting that, then I'll join you.
-
Damn, you still trying to offload your relics? You can shoot one of my JP-5s for Dragon's Cup.

Steel challenge starting point reference. In 10 days, Accelerator SC-105 will fall. I have some nutty theories that I need to vet before sharing, but they seem very promising.

Order from IPSC store. You do pay for shipping, so it's suggested to pick up other items like slide rackers or spare parts. Shipping takes a week or two. https://ipscstore.com/en/cz/1189-2613-eemann-tech-sa-trigger-for-cz-75-front-shifted-long-fingers.html#/14-color-black/510-type-smooth There are 4 flavors: reverse reach, standard, forward reach, and extra-forward reach. I had the same exact issues with the factory polymer trigger, so I picked up an extra-forward reach thinking it would solve the issue. However, it was too long for my liking. I've settled on the standard reach and it's perfect (M/L gloves). If you wear XL gloves, then opt for the forward. If you wear XXL+, then go for the extra-forward.

Here are some laughs before someone knowledgeable chimes in. Get some random bits, put them in a spinny boi and drill through the compensator. It's a czechmate, the worse it looks, the more hilarious the recoil pattern.

I have the steel challenge model and a 10.5" SBR with the side charger. The new MLOK handguard with the grippy texture is super nice. In terms of setup, my current preferences are: - BCM Mod 3 Grip - BCM Mod 0 Stock - Sig Romeo3 Max 6 MOA - Crimson Trace CTS-1400 Lower 1/3 Riser - Techwell JP5 Magwell - Glock OEM 33 magazines (I purposefully load to 32 rounds to get used to IPSC) Everything else is factory.
