They are what gave me the idea! Unfortunately like regor said they don't make them for the TSO. Also, would cost pennies to print compared to 60 bucks for a set of 3 DAA mags.

Very niche topic here but hopefully someone will know. Does anyone know if there is a 3D model of a TS/TSO magazine out there? Looking for an STL file to print some dummy mags for dry fire. If not, I plan on modeling them myself with some space for weights to make them realistic, and spare my feed lips in the process.

It's about time! Finally we have an answer. I knew I wasn't the only one haunted by this dead thread. Now for someone to figure out which screw on comp works best with this setup and we're golden.

It has saved me literally hundreds of dollars at this point. Used mag holders that I designed myself and printed for an entire year and they haven't broken yet. Even printed a custom magwell for my glock that worked great. Have a thumb rest on my TSO now. The uses are endless.

Thats where my head was at. Barely used (guy claimed <500 rounds, looking over the gun I believe it), with mag extensions, brass scales grips, and milled for a slide racker. 1200 was the winning bid, I think I did okay!

I got a CZ TSO! Love it so far.

I just wanted to post an observation I made recently after making the switch to .40sw from 9mm in limited. I was curious about this concept before making the switch my self so I thought I'd share. The felt recoil out of a 9mm polymer frame gun vs .40 out of a heavier steel frame gun is not as different as I imagined it would be. To be fair, the comparison was made with factory 9mm (which we chronod to be about 138 PF) and reloaded .40 (which chronod at about 173), so your reloaded 9mm is probably going to be a bit softer in comparison. The recoil impulse is by no means the same, but overall the felt recoil of is pretty similar with the heavy (3+ pound) gun. If you have good recoil control already the .40 is nbd. This is my subjective experience and I'm sure others haven a different opinion, I'm curious what others have to say about it. If this has been beat to death already I apologize.

I appreciate the advice, unfortunately it came about a week too late. Found a .40 TSO for a steal and went for it. Shooting my first match in limited major this weekend, will come back here and give an update on how it went.

I'd like to be competitive in the sport, I'm not quitting my career any time soon to pursue USPSA but I'm in it for more than having a bit of fun. Right now at my local club there aren't many high level shooters shooting in limited, and only one or two shooting major. The high level guys at my club all shoot PCC and I don't think we have a single open shooter. With that in mind it is a bit difficult to gauge where I fall skill wise, if that makes sense? From what I'm hearing it doesn't sound like there's a "when you hit XYZ class you should make the switch" type of answer, the answer being pretty subjective.

I'm currently a student and have set the goal of making M in limited by the time I graduate. Thats going to give me 4 years to get to that point, competing once per month and live/ dry fire practice as frequently as I can with my schedule (grad level student, not exactly flushed with free time). I'm reasonably confident that I can make master by then but my question is I guess, at what point along that journey is making the switch appropriate. I understand this is subjective so I'm really just listening for some different perspectives. I have not shot a major match yet, so I'm thinking maybe hold off until I shoot at least one major to see where I really fall skill wise? USPSA is my "thing" outside of school stuff so I'm in it for a little bit more than just shooting for fun, if that makes sense.

Heard. Currently fully set up for 9mm minor with a reloading press and the goodies. I could retool my press for .40 for about 50 bucks, but I would probably need to buy a chrono to make sure I'm hitting that major PF. Been slowly collecting .40 brass and have primers/ powder, so would realistically just need some .40 bullets as far as components go. The biggest investment would be the gun obviously, looking at a used TSO or something alike. I'd be looking at probably 1000 dollars to make the switch (if I sell my current gun), which I can do, but it wouldn't feel great bank account wise. I'm basically trying to weigh if the upgrade is worth doing now or not. Is there a time/ place skill wise that's a good time to make the upgrade? Should I wait until making a certain classification or something alike? Appreciate the feedback.

I'm curious to see what advice is out there on this topic, and haven't been able to find any discussion on it. I've been shooting USPSA for about a year now in limited minor. I love the sport and have seen marketable improvements since I began. I'm happy with limited division and that's where I plan to stay, so I'm wondering when the appropriate time to make the switch to major PF is. not sure its important but: - Usually place 1st or 2nd in limited division at my local matches out of 15-20 competitors (mostly U class, but a few Cs, Bs, and an M or two) - Usually place in or near the top 10 out of 50 overall - Just got initial classification last week (C class, womp womp), we'll see how those classifiers go in the next few months

My draw is definitely faster, but on a plate rank I'm making sure I see a good sight picture so it probably slows down to around the speed of my reload, maybe still a little faster. On an open target at close range, I can hit sub 1 seconds for a draw but I don't think I've ever hit a reload that quick on my best day. Aside from classifiers and very specific circumstances, I think chasing super quick draws and reloads hits a point of diminishing returns.

I have definitely noticed more rapid leading with TG and coated bullets, but it has never been an issue for me. If you use a nice brass bristle bore brush and some good solvent every once in a while I see no reason to pay more (or have to switch up load data) for jacketed bullets/ a different powder.

I figured this would be a good first post, trying to figure out how this forum works from the not "google a problem and find the answer on enos from 10 years ago" side. I'm a broke college student with this expensive hobby. I've been competing with USPSA for about a year in limited minor, but just official joined and got classified (C class, limited minor, womp womp) recently. On the "broke competitor" aspect, I've found that a 3D printer is a mighty good investment for practical shooters. Nearly all of my gear is 3D printed (magazine pouches, holster hanger, lots of stuff for my reloading press, and even my flared magwell), and holds up a million times better than you'd expect. I'm happy to talk about that sort of thing if anyone ends up curious. Thats all I got for now, I look forward to posting on this forum more often. Peace.
