Glad you are all enjoying it. ‘That ‘Production Optics’ thread was a monster... good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawboy Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Shooting my first match in CO division tmw. I put together a G17 with a Burris FF3. Looks like fun so, of course, I have to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking to get a G17 mos. CO is gaining fast in USPSA from what I’ve seen in my area matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George16 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Just got the tungsten grip module for my X5 last week so I’ll be shooting CO too. There’s no way I’m going back to iron sights with my vision going worse as the day goes by. I use mono vision glasses when shooting with iron sights but there’s no comparison to shooting with a red dot. I had been dry firing every night to get use to seeing the dot so I don’t have to hunt it during the draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have shot one USPSA match and one Steel Challenge match in CO. I have learned that I need more dry fire and live fire practice and a larger dot. I do okay with finding the dot but there is some hunting for it and the 3 MOA dot that I have is difficult to see and to track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I'm sure someone here will proudly let us know that not only is it meant for carry, but they use it on their carry gun, and you are a fool to think otherwise.

kalaikanui Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 When all the talk of CO first started... I thought Oh ya, I'm in - bought an M&P CORE. Yay! but the rules say no comp'd barrels, so in went the APEX barrel, put a Vortex Viper on an was ready to rip, then the rules shifted to allowing mag extensions, so I got those. After all that and shooting 6-8 matches I just couldn't learn to love it; the trigger sucked and I was much faster with my limited guns. Flip-flopped back and forth about dumping it and thought "I shouda just bought a 2011 open gun", well I've concluded if I'm in for a penny, I'm in for the pound bought a new APEX forward sear flat trigger for it this week and if that doesn't make me a fan, well I'll keep it until I can't see the irons on my limited racers anymore; blow the dust off and shoot for fun.

It happened sooner than I expected. For two months in a row now, CO is the second division by popularity after Limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07yzryder Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 lots of CO and PCC around here in vegas. The few matches i shoot are dominated by PCC, its an easy way to get into the game and have fast scores. Funny i asked one shooter why he didnt shoot 2 classes (PCC and one other) he said dont need to PCC has all the same fundamentals as a pistol. I walked away lol. Currently shooting limited will be shooting limited and PCC once my barrel gets in. I enjoy carry optics but my CO gun is a 4.25 inch ported 9mm which is not USPSA legal and i dont feel like getting a new barrel lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you went on the USPSA website, clicked on a few matches, and pulled total # of shooters in each division for them? Don't take this the wrong way, not an insult just trying to understand your charts, and I'm no statistics expert. How many matches were in your sample size and how did you determine it's a statistically sufficient and random sample to represent the entire population of USPSA? Division participation varies a lot by region so seems like it'd be quite a process trying to pull data from clubs across the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much, just not manually but with a script. It’s a sample in a sense that it only includes high match IDs. Recent matches have high IDs, so should be counted.
