glockstan Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 What do you like the most between these 2 divisions: 1. Single Stack 2. Productions you have only 1 choice, pick out the best one and tell me why do you like it, thanks a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I can't see this as coming down to anything other than what type of gun you like, really. If you like the 1911...then Single-Stack division it is. (It's not allowed in Production division.) If you like Glocks, CZ, M&P, XD's, Sigs, HK's, Beretta, etc...then Production division it is. (These guns are not allowed in Single-Stack division.) If you are shopping for which one to play in with a 9mm, then know that shooting Minor power factor is rough. In Single-Stack...you will be shooting against people that make Major (even more rough). In Production, everybody is scored Minor...so that levels the field.

bruce282 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Production. Cuz Glock don't make a single stack (yet). Bruce Seriously the gear both guns and mags in SS to me at least take more work than a Glock, XP, or M&P in production. The down side is minor scoring.

Paul Burtchell Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I will pick single stack. I like the grip angle of the 1911 much better and I think that a 1911 is a better looking gun. How's that for scientific?? I find single stack more challenging due to the increased recoil & more mag changes (sometime). You can't waste shots. It's a thinking man's division. It's truly a personal decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo radley Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Production. a) It's a lot cheaper and easier to get gear that runs. In *general* less expensive to shoot -- yes, there are some that cast .45 from wheel weights, pick up every case, etc.... c) In most major matches it will be a larger Division - more competition. d) Probably easier to advance vis-a-vis USPSA Classifier system. e) Stage management is critical, but one mistake, or missed piece of steel isn't lethal, IMO.

steel1212 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 (edited) Oh yeah SS all the way. Hell if you want to get cheaper you can go with a .40 and still make major. Edited June 10, 2008 by steel1212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 You can't waste shots. It's a thinking man's division. with 8rnd shooting areas...SS is pretty much Virginia count..otherwise you're stuck standing doing a reload. Now that's a challenge. can't pick one..like both for different reasons.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawulf Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I like Single Stack. It forces you to break down a stage and accurately call your shots. Reloading costs can be kept under control by using LSWC and a little bit of Clays. I am more of a traditionalist, so shooting SS feels like I am going back to our roots.

zhunter Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 OK, I will elaborate I like SS for reason listed above, mainly, with only 8, you have to be quick AND accurate!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glockstan Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 (edited) SO bottom line is: most of you here will go for SS than Production, now then how comes most of the match results I've seen in area 2, 3 and 4 Production division have more shooters than Single Stack? huh!....

Just a WAG guess, but I'm going to say because Production is cheaper to shoot and has a very wide selection of competitive guns to choose from.

Rik Probably something like that....although if you count different brands there are probably as many, or more choices in single stack. I've got a single stack rig and enjoy shooting it from time to time, but I have little interest in Production....not sure why, but it's probably that I'm a 1911 guy at heart.

1911user Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 (edited) Production because it forces accurate, fast shooting and good reloads. Less recoil, lower cost factory ammo, etc. is only a bonus. B&C hits become much less acceptable with minor scoring. Edited June 11, 2008 by 1911user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagz Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I have both guns, a Glock and a SS1911A1 and have shot in both divisions. I personally prefer the Single Stack. I find it more challenging and tactical. With limited number of rounds, you can't afford to miss, you can't afford to make extra shots. I find it more "cost-effective" to shoot.

Nik Habicht Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Production all the way! Partly because it's where the competition was a few years ago when Dave Olhasso was shooting most of the local matches; partly because of Jersey's laws, partly because I think it's more fun than any other division, partly because there's a fairly large group of my buds shooting it with me...... SS --- I'd play, but they wont let my Glock SS play...... (G36) Guess they're scared of a .45 SS that runs and runs and runs, without jamming or maintenance..... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan W Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 production here too - It's fun, the minor scoring makes it a challenge, I don't mind reloading, it's cool to beat non production shooters in the mixed overall, and I dig shooting the same type gun I carry. I shoot other stuff too, but I like production the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hello: If you reload, shoot single stack 40. If you don't reload, Production 9mm. Both are fun but I like Single stack since it is major shooting a 40 or 45 at 165,001 Pf ;-). Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 for the moment its production..for me. like the challenge on trying to beat up on the other divisions shooting minor and 10rnds. :D maybe someday get back to my single stack as it what I started with, when we shot only one division.

LPatterson Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I don't like only one choice in anything, adapt and overcome. I have a gun for every handgun division and once I get off my butt will have gear for 3 gun. WHY, because it is fun to shoot different challenges.

dohboy Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Production and single stack are my favorite divisions to shoot because the playing field is more even and accuracy is emphasized, especially in Production. However, I like single stack a little more because I have fewer rounds to give and I also like the fact that I have to do more reloads. I guess you can say I like "old school" IPSC and not to mention that the 1911 is my favorite gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lppd4 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I will go with SS. I have pistols to compete in all divisions, but my favorite pistol is the SS I had built in the late 80's as my competition/duty gun. It runs like a house a fire, it is highly customized with every part changed or modified in someway. It used to be a Springfield GI it now looks like a TGO 1. I had this gun built when Robbie was "The Good One" and Brian had hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UW Mitch Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'll cop out and say I like 'em both, plus revolver, L and L10. Depends on my mood. Sometimes I want to shoot my single stack, other times it's my XD other times it's my EAA Witness other times my 625. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
