EkuJustice Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Like the example above, shoot the heavy gun for the distance and oh no it breaks right before the hosing stage and you swap it out for a light gun then fix the original gun before the next long stage. You can't go back to the original gun, even if you fix it. Once you switch guns (with Range Master approval), you're not allowed to switch back again. I could look up the rule and cite it here, but I'm too tired after shooting my Tuesday night USPSA local match! I know you can't which is why the sentence above stated "I really don't see a match director having a problem with the switch as long as you stay switched" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Hunter Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Have a shadow as my maingun and another sp01 as backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGus Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I've enjoyed this thread. As someone who has only been shooting Limited Major for about a year (and sporadically at best with too many kids activities going on), I've learned some good info that I wasn't aware of. But like a few others have said, I also bring a back up. As of now I shoot a Sig P226 .40s&w X-5 Competition (with extended basepads and aftermarket magwell to try to be somewhat competitive), but I also bring an EAA Witness Elite Match .40s&w as back up. If something goes wrong with my main gun (which so far hasn't happened), I don't want to have to sit and watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpleman71 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I shoot a G34 in production. Have a g17 as back up for now. Would like another g34 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sin-ster Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Necrothread, but... My backup is basically identical to my primary-- just no KKM barrel. If my main fails (M&P), it's going to be something serious, or a PITA to fix at the range. (Hammers, roll pin punch, work block, slave pins... Ugh.) So to the backup we go.

Trini Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Have a STI ans SVI for limited. G34 and G17 for production and several 1911s that I have used in SS. It pays to have 2 for the division that you are shooting like most have said if one breaks your still in the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTraab Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 My situation is less than ideal, but I carry an SR9 to backup my M&P. Eventually I'll have a twin in my bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonman556 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I shoot a SA XDm 5.25 from Canyon Creek and my back-up (stock 5.25) is at Rich's right now getting some work done to it so it feels and shoots like my main gun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
