    We used to run 92s at work, and it was constant breakage with them. Ton of locking blocks cracked / split. I feel like the model is solid and shoot greats, but enough rounds through them the 92s just implodes on themselves. 

    Gen 3 locking blocks last somewhere around 20k, changing recoil spring every 5k will basically get you there, I am not really concerned with my 92 LTT, already have north of 20k on it. 

  2. This gun seems to have a lot problems between barrels, fitment, qc, extraction issues developing, is it worth it at this point to consider buying one to replace a LTT 92g for USPSA CO? Always been curious how the additional weight performs

    Yes, it may be that they simply haven't yet had one in hand to see if there are any differences.  I suppose they're busy, but it would have been nice if they would've elaborated just a bit...  That said, I noticed a gun shop here in Ohio has one  listed in stock.  I didn't think they were released yet.  I know Racaza was shooting one.

    There are a few stores online with them for sale, they are stateside. $1400 mark. 

  4. Comes down to feeling, I own both a cajunized cz and a beretta ltt with the goodies. Objectively there is just something different about the recoil impulse on the Beretta, it feels like a 1911 soft push but in 9mm. Secondly, the triggers are a toss up because it comes down to feeling. The reset is shorter on the Beretta without compromising safety features (I also carry the LTT), it's the shortest reset I've felt on a DA/SA. The rest is all personal preference, you just have to shoot them to find out.

    I fondled the base blue TS2 model at my LGS today and it seems a lot like my previous TSO with some very minor changes.  Metal trigger (not poly as I assumed it would be), great trigger break, non existent trigger reset (like nothing discernible at all), and a few hundred less than I paid for my TSO.  It’s great for what it is but so focused on IPSC classes that I don’t see much demand for it here in the US.  
     

    For folks who aren’t adamant about having a 2011, it would make a great purchase for range use if you have larger hands.  If you do have smaller hands, a Shadow 2 SAO seems just as well fit for $500 less and will serve the same purpose (but a less good trigger).   

     

    If they cared about the U.S. market, I think they would have released a .40 as well.

    Do  you guys have a favorite place to get said parts?

    Cajun gun works, cz custom, benstoeger pro shop (carries parts from cajun gun works but cheaper shipping if only buying springs).

    22 +1 with 18-round Mec-Gar mags.  Good to go for Carry Optics.

    got a chance to try them today, I tested a few configurations, worked on 15 round factory magazines, 17 round, and 18 as you stated. All of them functioned flawlessly, thanks for the info.

    Welcome to the board and USPSA and Steel Challenge.  Good time of year to get interested.  I went to my first match at the end of October many years ago and had to wait through the winter before I could shoot more matches.  SE Michigan has a good shooting community and there are some great clubs you can shoot at and potentially join depending on where in SE Michigan you live.  Wayne County Raccoon Hunters https://raccoonhunters.org/ is a good option if you are anywhere near Romulus and is where I am a member and practice at.  The Detroit Sportsmen's Congress (DSC) is up in Utica if you are north of Detroit, and there is Livingston Gun Club if you are close to Brighton.  There are more clubs in Michigan like Brooklyn Sportsman's Club if you are willing to drive some from SE Michigan.

     

    One of the best things about USPSA and these clubs is that you don't have to be a club member or USPSA member to come out and shoot a match or attend a practice, though if you want unfettered access to the range on non match or practice days you will have to join a club.  Going to your first match can be pretty intimidating, but don't let that stop you.  We were all new at one point.  I was absolutely terrible at my first match and got a ton of procedural penalties but had an absolute blast!  One way to ease into it is find out which days the club has their USPSA practice and show up for one of those.  No pressure there and I'm sure if you tell them you are new someone will help you out.  If you have any more questions about clubs or starting USPSA post em up or shoot me a message.

     

    Thank you, I am looking for a club to join as well because my range doesn't really allow shooting from holster, I basically shoot from low ready to simulate. Also no dynamic shooting, all shooting is on static targets. I am in the suburbs so the ranges are all a decent distance for me (Royal oak area) but I am willing to drive since it's mostly a weekend thing for me anyways. I appreciate the details and help.

    I've never had an issue at any place by showing up blindly.  Is there anything in specific that concerns you?

     

    Not sure what you mean by "seeing how people compete from start to finish".  If you've never been to a USPSA match, you will learn a lot more by showing up, announcing to the match director and your squad's range officer that you're new and need guidance, then shooting rather than watching from the sidelines.  You will miss a ton of information if you just watch.

     

    You will get help.  You will not be left alone to founder.  I bet money on both.

     

    PS you need not be a club member nor a USPSA member to start competing.

    Just didn't want to show up to a club without knowing a little more about each of them, and in terms of watching. I really don't know the mechanics of competing, I've gone through the rules and am well versed with handling firearms/safety but just don't fully understand game mechanics. 

  8. Looking for a club to join or at a minimum shoot USPSA/steel challenges matches at, I am registered on practiscore and see a few ranges holding matches but I am interested in hearing feedback about certain clubs within the community rather than just showing up blindly. Ideally, I'd like to spectate a match soon before I start just so I can see how people compete from start to finish. I've been shooting handguns for a bit now but never outside of static ranges.  The ones I am aware of are:

     

    • washtenaw sportsmen club (last time I heard they had a wait list and I don't know any members at the club, which I think is required to become a member) 
    • oakland county sportsmen's club
    • detroit sportmen's congress 
    • Wayne county racoon hunter club

     

    Looking to start in limited if that makes a difference, potentially production.
