ProGunGuy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 am shooting production now. I have a G35 that i can use in limited. My budget now does not allow me to buy all the fun stuff like long mags and magwells, etc. so if I ran my production stuff, but with full 15 rd mags and major PF, can i even be conpetitive with the big boys?

Pensfan Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Competitive with the big boys...? probably not. Check your combined match results and see where you stack using your production rig compared to the other limited guys. If you are beating them with only 10rds and more reloads, you'll be even more competitive with full mags and fewer reloads. However you can still try it out and see how you like the division before dropping cash into all the bells and whistles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean to say big boys like big boys nationals, probably not. But at a club level, you are not at a serious disadvantage. you can shoot major PF which is a biggie. Mag extension, well, at a 22 rd stage just reload earlier. Magwell? you are production shooter now so its not something new to not reload without magwell. All you need to actually do is reload quick and a good stage break down. Bottom line is its you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooting for M Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 See if you can borrow a couple extended magazines. You won't really get the feel for limited on a long course unless you can have at least 19 in the gun. A magazine extension or preferably 2 won't run you that much, but if you can borrow for a match or 2 it's even cheaper 16 in the gun to start will be different and if you drop a lot of points in Production, shooting major will help there. If you are a better shooter than those you refer to as the big boys, you will run with them just fine. Most stages will have ample opportunity to reload earlier, but 19-21 in the gun to start can open up options on some stages that are not otherwise practical.

Hi-Power Jack Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I have a G35 that i use in limited. so if I ran my production stuff, but with full 15 rd mags and major PF, can i even be conpetitive ? Why not give it a try and see if you like it - if not, you can always go back to production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerburgess Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 If you are on a budget get a couple of the pierce +2 extensions they are pretty cheep and will get you over 16 in the mag witch is the biggest thing for limited mags. that way you can shoot 2 8rd arrays without needing to reload.

J-Ho Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Go check out the Tx state limited results for Limited. Kale did that with his production gun. Won Limited by almost 9%. I say fill those mags up and have fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polizei1 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 No harm no foul! Try it out, if you like it, get the magwell and higher capacity magazines. If you don't like it, you haven't lost any money and you can just keep shooting production. I would love to try limited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagger10k Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 You can do pretty well in limited with a Glock 35 without many mods on it. I'd try to spring for at least 1 extended mag if you really wanna be competitive. Check out the gun BJ Norris got 4th (98.38%) at the 2011 limited nationals with No magwell on there!

MarkCO Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 In an average local match there will be an extra two or three reloads. That will cost you maybe 3% in placement overall in Limited, maybe 1 or 2 spots if any. Shoot the division you want with whatever is legal and jsut have fun.

warpspeed Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I don't think it will make any difference to the C/D shooter. In fact, it may help. You will reload on the move instead of trying to stretch it out only to need a reload at the end, standing flat footed, to shoot 2 more targets. i think one mag that holds 19/20 would be a good thing. Check the classifeds. From time to time, there are +5 extension from AA, Taylor Freelance or Dawson for a good deal. Having one will be like having a big stick in open; not required but a nice option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Bingo! One, or two mags with the extensions is all you need. If you can get 18-20 in at least one mag, you can usually find a place to reload in the middle of a stage and that will get you through a 32 round stage.

If its the points, I checked the results of the last few matches and I am square in middle of the limited shooter in the amount of points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I made Limited GM with a Production legal G35. I was competitive with it (meaning, the gun didn't hold me back). You really need a couple of extended base pads though. Two of them is plenty. One might do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKT1106 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I started USPSA with a stock XDM40 and a few mags in Limited. It was fun beating some of the guys with STIs and other guns on a few stages. Now I have an STI Edge so the new guys can beat me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Griffin Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 You'll either score 5% less or have to practice 5% harder. I'm lazy so I put on a magwell. Sevigny and Vogel have demonstrated that the gun ain't the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
