jarozzy Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I haven't shot a match in a while, due to having kids and my local matches changed from shooting on Saturdays to shooting on Sundays. The last match i shoot the carry optic class was not created yet. Since then i have started carrying a G19 with a RMR daily and have the itch to go to a match and start shooting again. Does anyone shoot a G19 in the carry optic class? Also does the longer barrel length of larger guns (i.e. longer sight radius) make a difference with the mini red dots?

9x45 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 If there was no CO Division, not Class, then it was not a USPSA match. Local action matches have local rules. I don't use the RMR, but rather a Docter or a Delta Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is saying that the Carry Optics Division hadn't been created yet the last time he was able to make it to a match.To answer your question, I dont believe that a longer barrell would make a significant difference shooting at the close distances we shoot at in uspsa when using a red dot. Since you dont have to deal with site radius.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarozzy Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Thanks Explosiveo for the answer. Sorry i used the wrong terminology not saying "Division". It has been several years since i shot a USPSA match, and yes it was USPSA, at that time the CO division was not a division, my last match was in 2012. I used to shoot Limited, SS and Open. In the CO division what is the most prominent gun used? Why use a Docter or Delta pro vs the RMR? On my current gun I already have an RMR on it, but i have a few other guns i want to get milled for red dot.

dapribek Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I think S&W COREs and Glock MOS pistols are primarily used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeedOff Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I've used the M&P Core, Glock 17 MOS and Sig p320 X five in CO. I don't feel disadvantaged using the 17 vs the 34 I shoot in production. Sight radius isn't really a thing with the dot. I'd say shoot a few matches with the 19 before you decide to mill another gun.

YVK Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 A friend, who is a member here, shot day one of a level II match with a G19/RMR, and day two - with a G10/DPP; that was a couple of years ago. There was a significant difference in performance and placement during those two days. Granted, different stages, day to day variability because of shooter's factors etc, but I don't think he ever shot a match with RMR ever since. Shorter barrel is a non-issue for CO; however, there is a common opinion that larger grip of G17/34 allows to control the pistol better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explosiveo Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 the Delta point pro has a HUGE window and the glass is really nice. i think its night and day vs. a RMR. I shoot a Glock 17 MOS with a DPP. But you can be compeditive with the Glock 19 with the RMR. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YVK Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 It is a typo, 9 and 0 being next to each other on a keyboard. It was a Glock 19 with a DeltaPoint Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
