Found I do something similar as far as ‘stitching’ the stage together. I’ve also avoided watching the two or three guys before me and can usually be found mentally shooting the stage somewhere off in the back of the group.

Gotcha. Good info to have; thanks for sharing!

Awesome on that Classifier! Though certainly not polite to make the Open shooters feel bad….but sometimes it can’t be help I think the difficulty is part of the fun; just wish more people saw that so the division could grow a tad. I did have a couple folks this past week ask me where my revolver was when I was shooting Limited. Seems they might be converted just yet! Thanks for chiming in!

It does appear to be an easier indicator of a problem in grip since it’s more apparently shaking when something is off (or not visible at all). It certainly doesn’t replace the need for fundamentals to be solid. Unfortunately, too many people think about dots and lasers in this way.

Its certainly challenging but also pretty rewarding (when it’s done right ). Have you tried something like an 8” late at that distance? I’m sure it would offer a similar challenge.

Do you mean in terms of accuracy or general handling? Both?

That is a pretty satisfying feeling, especially when it’s a PCC guy I’ve never won one either but I did almost break the top five at our local match a few years back - just had a couple Mikes holding me back. Probably the most satisfied I’ve ever felt shooting. Despite dealing with every possible handicap, the fundamentals and good stage planning pulled through. Something I look back on often as a motivator for other classes.

Who is making these? Also, I’m unfamiliar with any PCC running Springfield mags; who makes that?

Love the simplicity of this. Thanks for sharing that!

Showing is certainly the logical first step, but many, if not most, of our customers will then ask something along the lines of “What’s the point?”. Some explanation of the potential speed and accuracy advantage, as well as the need for consistent presentation of the gun, are usually required to get the point across.

Certainly an effective demonstration from the sounds of it. Only thing I’ll have to work out is how to get away with that on the sales floor

How do you describe using a red dot on a handgun to someone? I’ve slowly ironed out something along the lines of “You look at the target rather than a front sight and the dot slips in between. Rather than guiding irons to a place you want to hit, you focus on the spot and send a shot when the dot aligned with it.” I’ve also communicated the potential increase in speed by explaining that shooting irons requires the alignment of four things (eye, sights, target) and a RDS only requires two (the eye and the target) as you don’t actually have to align the dot against another reference on the gun to get it to do what you want. This seems to make sense to most people I’ve relayed it to, but I’m curious if anyone has found a better explanation.

+1 on Vaultek I’ve sold several to customers and have had no complaints. They don’t necessarily do too much different besides their app feature but they do the biometric side better than other companies we’ve carried. Plus we’ve played around with the same display for about three years now and it’s survived.

Thought you had some knives on that belt for a split second That’s a good looking setup!

I’ve seen those and was interested when a Glock-mag-fed gun was on my radar but haven’t seen one that would work with the MPX mags. Be awesome if they kicked one out though.
