I often hear people on here talking about having the time and money to train. I've always thought that Steel Challenge was a good way to get a fast draw, learn quick Target transitions etc. not to mention, it's fun.

Also, if you have kids, it's a great way to introduce them into shooting.

If you're not familiar with the sport, here's a video you can check out and see if it's something you may be interested in.

Enjoy your Sunday.

I know that Tisas cut ties with SDS. Have they released their version of the MAC 9 DS yet?

With a growing number of pistol optics and the increased reliability, everybody's got their brand. What's yours?

For me personally, I've owned a Sig, Holosun and Osight.

Osight SE is my current favorite. Why? Small footprint, decent size window and clear glass.

Oddly enough, the only optic I've personally seen malfunction was a Trijicon SRO that belonged to my shooting partner. It would randomly turn itself on and off. In all fairness to trijicon, they fixed it quickly and got it back to him in no time. I haven't personally experienced any issues with my optics.

I've asked this question here before but there's always new concealed carriers joining the subreddit. I absolutely love when we get new guys into competition that are continuously training and getting better with their concealed carry weapon.

For those of you that are thinking about getting involved in the sport, what kind of questions do you have?

I think I shot my first match around 2013 or so. I don't remember a whole lot of people showing up. Nowadays, we're easily averaging 80 to 100 shooters at a weekend match. Seems like every match has a bunch of new shooters as well.

Is everybody else seeing this across the United States as well?

I see that they offer laser porting at a decent price. Just seeing if anyone had any experience.

Maybe you've been wanting to go to a training class but you don't have the time or money.

Maybe you been wanting to get into competitive shooting you're just nervous about showing up for your first match.

Maybe you simply want to invest more time into dry fire to get that draw under one second.

For those of you that have training goals to make you better concealed carriers, let's hear them.

Hey guys, I'm completely new to the 2011 platform.

Been shooting Glocks competitively for years but decided to get a MAC 9 DS.

Anybody that's very familiar with this platform let me know because I've got questions I would like to ask. Thank you.

Hello there, stepping into the 2011 world. I'm an avid competitive shooter that's been shooting Glocks in competitions for years. Purchased a MAC 9 ds yesterday.

I've already ordered the upgraded optic and plate screws from Xcontrols.

I've read online that these run optimally with a 10 lb recoil spring.

Any insight would be great. This thing is going to see four to five matches a month and I want it running as good as possible.

Also, the magazine released for me is pretty stiff and if somebody could direct me where to order an appropriate tensioned magazine release spring that would be great.

I would also like insight on what magazines run good in these. The guy at the gun store told me MEC-GAR. I've ran about 100 rounds through it so far with the factory magazines which I think are made by checkmate and they have ran pretty flawlessly.

Are they currently updating the website?

I was waiting to look at the results from two recent matches that hadn't been posted to see if my score had moved but as of today I cannot log in.
