Sarge Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 The biggest miss for me is the Maglula Uplula. I had such high hopes for it but it just never caught on with me. Turned out to be much easier to just stuff them in the old fashioned way. The biggest hit so far, my 550b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hit--Brian's book, just plain awesome. Bust-- "Practical Shooting Manual" I bought it (online) after I was a "B" class shooter, this book is geared to someone that has never shot USPSA or visited this forum.

Chills1994 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hit: Nike Landsharks, the best thirty or so dollars I spent...seems like cheap insurance to me from slipping and falling with a pistola in my hands and possibly getting DQ'ed or worse. Miss: I will have to get back to you on that... I'm still thinking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokshwn Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 The biggest miss for me is the Maglula Uplula. I had such high hopes for it but it just never caught on with me. Turned out to be much easier to just stuff them in the old fashioned way. The biggest hit so far, my 550b. Come shoot with us at about 25-30 degrees in the winter...that Maglula gets to be worth about 30-40 match points real quick Not so bad for those 30 round open mags either. Hits (definitely not all inclusive): Benosverse, KISS Bulletfeeders, Bedell Custom Guns, Dillon 650, and 1050's, classes from Ron Avery, Manny, and Max & Travis, and a $9 WalMart folding chair when I travel to a match. Misses: Radians earmuffs, should have just burned the $50 and stuffed the ashes in my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbbean Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hit: My first full custom gun (Jim Anglin 6") - I've owned some nice guns, but this was the first gun where EVERYTHING was right. Now if only my personal technique were up to the same level as this gun! Miss: Para P14.45 Limited LDA - bought after shooting one match, and conclusive proof that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Not a bad gun, but not at all suited to how/what I want to shoot. Its now an office gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hits: Rx shooting glasses. Also a well used, plain jane Limited gun that just flat worked 100%, (and kept it for a few years instread of changing guns every 6 months.) Misses: Any fragile, weird 2 stage feeling, likely to fail in a major match, recoil management guide rod device thingy - any brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyZip Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hits: membership to the PSGC. You can almost practice any day of the week, and NOT have to compete for space. My U dies, Nike trail shoes, grip when I need it, slide when I need it. LIFT brand safety glasses, cheap AND good. A cooler with water/gatorade/sandwiches for match. Misses: rem oil, leather gear, leather ANYTHING, and the failure to buy a good folding chair and cooler for my first good match. Bite Orthosports. Those suckers filled up with sand, had no useful traction, and lost comfort along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
