Richie Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 How does Carry Optics seem to be doing at most matches for attendance? Since it appears esp legal mag well etc would make for a very fun class... Anyone trying it much so far? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am geared up for it, but since I'm shooting CDP at Nationals, I've been concentrating on that. My CO is in 9mm with an RMR mounted on the slide. We've been averaging three CO folks each match...and we run a club match every other Friday. We've had a lot more PCC shooters, since that division has had a more solid description. With CO, a lot of guys I've talked with were waiting for the "provisional" part to be more defined. They didn't want to invest in something that might not be legal. I think HQ has settled on it from what I can tell. Edited September 9, 2018 by jdk129 another thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Watson Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I shot Saturday with 2 CO and 4 PCC out of 65 entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Watson Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Brock's Gap, Hoover (Birmingham area) second Saturday. And that was a relatively slow day, first day of dove season and early season football. They often fill up at 80. They also do USPSA first Saturday and Steel Challenge third Saturday AND Sunday. All well attended. Edited September 10, 2018 by Jim Watson Other matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarilynMonbro Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 We get one CO guy at our local match. Usually 30-35 shooters Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Watson Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I live in Florence. If I want to shoot matches I have to travel. It is 22 miles to the club range with small outlaw USPSAish and IDPAoid shoots. It is 88 miles to Ridge Crossing for substantial IDPA. It is 95 miles to Cavern Cove for large Steel Challenge, they dropped IDPA because carbines were the Next Big Thing. It is 117 miles to Manchester for IDPA. Haven't been since I got into steel, though. It is 135 miles to Brock's Gap. Mostly IDPA but BPCR in the past, USPSA and SC available. I've got the van so I am the designated bus driver if more than two of us go, usually three or four. Not counting majors at 150+ miles. I am resisting invitations to travel seven hours to next Louisiana State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 We normally have two co and two pcc on average at matches around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigarmsp226 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) I shot in this class twice with a SIG P320RX, and made several range trips before my first match, only to realize that the Romeo1 red dot is to small for these 59 year old eyes....I was chasing that dot all day....Purchased a Burris FF3 6 MOA and will give it a try again in the near future..... Right now I have shifted my focus to PCC and with a C-More 8MOA I find that big red dot easily.....But remember - I am old....Mark Edited September 29, 2018 by Sigarmsp226 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I don't like the 3moa dots either. 6 is what i am running on both my co pistol and my pcc. In steel challenge, uspsa and idpa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did shoot a 6MOA vortex in three matches this year, and other than the window being smaller I did find it easier to track. Yesterday I was able to look at a DDP 2.5MOA side by side with my Romeo1 and it seem to look twice as big as the 3MOA Romeo1.

LowBoost Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) BillR1: I was taking a look at the new Romeo1 - Do you have it? Any comparisons to an RMR or DPP? I plan on IDPA/USPSA and some steel. Short distances up to 30 yards. My vision has started to present some challenges for 15+ yards.

GOF Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I have a 6 MOA ROMEO1, and a RMR. I prefer the ROMEO. Bigger window, easier to operate than the RMR Adjustable, easier battery replacement, very bright dot, and adjustable brightness levels easier to use than the RMR.. The scope cover is crap, but that's my only complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have four Romeo1s, including three of the newer 6 MOA dots. I think they're an amazing sight, and much tougher than the exaggerated stories on the interwebs would suggest. I tried an RMR and the window (IMO) was too small. The Romeo1 works well for me for both carry and competition use.

telligentgunner Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Our local match just started letting people shoot CO without "approval" first. There were only 3 shooters out of 60 running optics, which I was one. I'm running a Glock 34 Gen 5 due to it only coming in an MOS version and has a slight mag well build it.

Jim Watson Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Carry Optics is firming up. Classification times are the same as ESP. CO will be recognized at the 2019 World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 hmmm, then i might have to shoot CO at the idpa worlds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racknrider Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I’m surprised the classification times are the same as ESP, that suggests that adding a dot to your ESP gun is of no advantage. So, why not just lump them together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdk129 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 From IDPA's website, 20NOV: This week, IDPA will be releasing an updated version of Appendix C for Carry Optics for immediate use by our membership. This new release adopts the classifier brackets found for Enhanced Service Pistol as the brackets for Carry Optics. By finalizing the classifiers for this division, it becomes easier for clubs to recognize this growing division for their matches at every level of our sport. Carry Optics has become a popular division for many of our members and we are responding to this enthusiasm by finalizing the outstanding issues found in the provisional rules. We are also going to recognize Carry Optics at next year’s World Championship match being held again in Talladega the week of October 21st through the 26th. Classifier scores will be accepted into the system. Members are encouraged to contact their Area Coordinator if they have any questions concerning this change. We hope you will enjoy the changes. See you at the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold my 3 moa because I was loosing it in the bright sun light days. The 6moa Romeo 1 is like a completely different sight. Most of the time I'm turning it down. Haven't run it at the top setting yet. C-more, FF, Vortex and 2 DDP one 2.5 and one 7.5 have to be run at full when the sun is out. FWIW, think its the best sight out there currently for slide mounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
