Knguyen1904 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 My first match I shot with a Glock 19 Roland Special in Open Division cause that’s all I had. I was completely unaware of the “race gun” tech that was out there. Once I saw a 2011 someone was running I was like I NEED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took 12 years off shooting, and came back about 11 years ago - first time I ever saw a 2011. Took me about 7 months to make the plunge All I shoot now is my TruBor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touji Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I initially had no interest in red dot pistols but gave Carry Optics a try... then I wanted the major scoring to chase my friends shooting Open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngeloConde Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 The looks and customizations of the 2011 platform. Even tho I'm running a cz Czechmate. The speed and need to be accurate is a challenge and 2ho doesnt love a good old challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsonian85 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I wanted a dot and a slide mounted optic seemed silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullett Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I shot a friends STI and I was hooked. I couldn't get the 2011 platform off my mind and shortly after I bought a CK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkeejoe Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Shooting a series of night matches with my limited gun and struggling to see the front sight in the poor lighting made me want to shoot with a dot. I hate reciprocating red dots that s]are slide mounted, so I went to open. High A class limited shooter, looking forward to getting an open classification.

cody6477 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 All the cool kids were shooting open. And I got a helluva bonus at the end of last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gviz Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Shot poorly at 25 yards with iron sights alpha mike, Charlie delta very sloppy. Moved to carry optics managed to eliminate mikes. Took me half a year to find that disappearing dot on my first shot at every stage. Then Christmas came along and shot an email to bedell custom. And, the rest is load development lol why do they call it the dark side? Coz I’m always at the garage reloading?

bjones6686 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 All the reloads I do shooting single stack makes me want to switch to open but I have so much money invested into single stack that I stick with it and occasionally will shoot limited too. Give me a few years and I'm sure I'll switch over to the dark side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsipd Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Shot a buddy’s open gun a few weeks ago and it’s had me thinking since. Currently shooting limited and PCC. Loving both but it almost always fun to lose in a new division. For those of you who swapped into open what was the deciding factor?I got into open due to my eyesight. My dominant eye developed an astigmatism and I get double images for iron sights. The red dot is just fuzzy and I can focus on the target not the sight. Plus, the guns are just cool and the science of reload and tuning the load to the compensator is intriguing.
