    yeah def mill or get a MOS slide and just polish the trigger bars. anything beyond that you won't even notice the difference.
  2. i think this is the case for most people who are trying to get a new barrel.
  3. every live fire session should end with some SHO/WHO practice.
  4. wish i had an answer for you but im also dealing with the same issue. i know its a total mental thing as i feel like i have to do well when i shoot with the higher class people and it tends to cause me to make dumb mistakes.
  5. the simple answer is visualization. the longer answer is mentally running yourself through the stage and knowing exactly what you need to do so that you can play it in your head, with your eyes closed. you do this by mentally running through the stage plan repeatedly and it should help you fix any issues you may have with over running targets, skipping targets, forgetting to reload, etc. think of a stage as a start and end point. between the start and the end you have to do a handful of things: shoot a target, move to a new spot, or reload. once you have a stage plan in mind, repeat the exact process in your head over and over from start to finish. if you get mixed up somewhere, repeat that part over and over until you remember it perfectly. It should end up looking like a queue system of things you need to do from start to finish: draw gun, look at a precise spot on each target, move to the next spot, precise spot on each target, move to the next spot, reload, precise spot on each target.
  6. Consistent and repetitive practice will really drive this one home for you. Make sure you are also building points of reference for your body to familiarize itself with so you always know your arms or hands are in the right place at all times. This includes resting your finger or palm on a particular part of your holster, having the butt of the magazine touching the same point on your forearm, having your support hand coming up and touching the same part of your belt/stomach each time, etc. This reference point is integral in being able to repeat the same action over and over until it becomes second nature. In regards to you finding yourself sometimes not gripping hard enough, Ben Stoeger often explains that our brain can usually only focus on one task at a time. It doesn't make sense to try and have our brain focus on multiple things and do those multiple things poorly - better to focus on one and do it well. How does this work when you have to think of a ton of things when shooting a stage? Practice each one of them individually until they are completely wired into your subconscious and you dont have to think about doing it. During dry fire, focus on your grip pressure throughout every drill. Repeat the word "crush" in your head every single time the gun is in your hand and clamp down simultaneously with your support hand. Over time, you'll start to incorporate this subconsciously and if you feel like you are slipping, keep repeating this process during your practice.
  7. An instructor really really helps take the content that you know and have practiced and allows you to extract additional nuggets of information that you may not have initially registered or understood. This goes for rewatching class videos from instructors when you are a more advanced shooter as the takeaways are different based on your skill level and you get that light bulb aha moment. I think in terms of drills to do live, the same fundamental drills you do dry should be done live to affirm what you've been practicing dry. Push them at speed and make mistakes so you can continue to tune and improve.
  8. Does your match performance show that you are consistently delivering results above a B class shooter?
  9. Experienced the same thing going from my glock 19 to my new shadow 2. I'm sticking with my glock as my comp pistol until I learn the s2 but it was definitely unexpected.
