evild Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Going to be shooting Open minor with my Staccato P duo till/if they are made USPSA CO legal and was wondering if the balance would be way off with a 170 mag. Anybody tried that or in a similar sized gun? No comp or mag well, just gun as it came from factory with a dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rnlinebacker Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) They won't get in for a long time, if ever. But come have fun in Open! Edited July 10, 2022 by Rnlinebacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjwalt666 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 It'll still balance fine. You may notice a difference but it will only be different for the first 8 shots or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that they will never allow 170mm in “Limited Optics” but if you are gonna shoot open minor the 170 is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no one knows what the board thinks except for the one slip up. It’s all just opinions at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
