True. It might just change the balance of participation in CO vs LO.

I just don't think current CO shooters would be happy if they restricted them to 15 rounds at this point in order to differentiate CO from LO.

The matches available to a shooter can vary a lot depending on your location. Locally for me there are no outlaw matches. 3 USPSA and one IDPA. Of course the farther you're willing to drive changes whats available. But I see people in some areas where IDPA is very popular and not USPSA.

I see no reason to combine LO and CO into one gigantic division. Both are popular enough to justify keeping them seperate. As far as major/ minor in LO it's seems obvious at this point that a high percentage of shooters want to shoot 9mm minor at no disadvantage to shooting major. I enjoy shooting major in Limited or SS but the number of others who do is dwindling.

The nearest (over 2 hours) club shooting PCSL doesn't use the PCSL target with the K zone. As an outsider looking at it that seems like the biggest factor differing PCSL from USPSA isn't being used

Do you have easy inexpensive access to .357 brass or is it easy to make out of 40 brass.

I use a couple mags for my reload that very rarely hit the ground. I have enough mags for the first mag that I can just switch out for a clean one because they nearly always hit the ground. If it's a small match with small squads I just switch dirty for clean. But with bigger squads I'll just clean the one that hits the ground because there's plenty of time to do it.

That was a good explanation.

My post was a response to a previous poster who said the doublestack mags were more forgiving then singlestack mags. That hasn't been my experience.

For me 1911 mags are much more forgiving then double stack mags. Stock double stacks are also more forgiving then when you add extended basepads to them. That's when they get more sensitve to dirt.

Welcome. Yes, plinking can be fun but I have much more fun competing.

At this point if you're shooting in lo cap divisions in local matches there are usually very few in those divisions. Rarely will there be more then one or two in SS, sometimes 0.

In my area it isn't a big deal. They might get more reluctant to change if too many shooters started asking but I haven't seen a problem.

What level of PF are most Open shooters using for steel challenge?

If the 3 divisions were combined, SS, L10 and Production , there might be a decent number of shooters for a division. With just SS and L10 there won't be enough to matter.

Nice! Howdy from Northern California. 100 miles north of Sacramento. I've shot matches in Clovis before.

Thanks. The area I live in is typically 100+ degrees in the summer and I haven't had a problem. My pf has crept up to upper 170s and could have been a little cooler weather at a couple of majors. Now I'm giving Limited Optics a try shooting 9mm minor. Need to do some testing with afew different powders before shooting a major match.

As an avid SS shooter for years I've thought it might work combining Production, SS, Limited 10 with the 10minor/8 major scoring. Only because of the dwindling participation in those divisions. But now with Production going to 15 that kind of messes that idea up.

On our local dusty, fine dirt ranges I'll generally use the same mag to reload on the stage because I rarely have to drop it to the ground. My first mag I'll nearly always clean after picking it up. Just one mag, only takes a minute. Right now in the winter the ground is more of a hard compacted surface and unless the mag hits the ground nose first, require less cleaning.

No. But it takes some time shooting a different type of gun to really give it enough of a chance to determine which gun you actually shoot better with. You can't give a different gun a fair chance shooting a couple of mags through it.

Thanks guys.

Thanks.

I guess just how they compare to the other popular CZs, shadow 2, etc. I have a standard cz75b and Tac Sport.

Checking out a CZSPo1 shadow for USPSA CO or LO. Anyone using one? I searched but couldn't find much on this specfic model.
