I know a lot of guys who are paying more for factory minor ammo to shoot CO then it would cost me to load major ammo for open. For them they have the money but don't want to bother with the time to get into reloading. And Open is probably the only division where you basically have to reload to get the best performance. Like moto said, the gun is really a small part of what we spend a year on this sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 well maybe recently but for last 4 or 5 years 9mm wasnt worth my time to reload. Powder and primer prices went up, and bulk ammo prices went down.. Was gonna help my step son load some 9mm, and priced the components. and dang was only like a $20 per K savings. NOt counting brass. Carry optics probably never woulda got started, or not be near as popular if production went to full capacity mags. I think thats what really drove it. Ability to run a standard factory gun with full magazines with cheap factory ammo. I do have to agree with a few folks here. Current USPSA gun rule sets are beyond asinine.

Stdz Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I think people would just find out if running the light helped or not. Mostly just the extra mass. Then everyone would meta that setup and it would just turn into a "Must have a light to be competitive" division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think the combo of big mags and a dot and cheap guns that run is a perfect complement to the other divisions. I can't imagine why anyone would shoot production with big mags except to hide from the heat in limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in on that, 8 major 10 minor in production and and put production and SS in the same division. Hell, you could toss revolver in their too, I don't care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
