I recently acquired a SP-01 AccuShadow to replace my P320 Legion for action shooting competition. I love the gun, but first time out it had a number of failure to go into a battery issues. The issues only occured with Southern Munitions' 124gr Green Hi-Tek Coated Remanufactured Ammo. It did not occur with the 115gr FMJ from a local commercial reloader.

Any thoughts on the cause for those more familiar with CZs? I'm wondering:

• Does it need a break in period?
• Does the gun just needed to be better lubricated?
• Are the tolerances too tight for this particular ammo?

Unfortunately I stockpiled the Southern Munition 124s because my Sig liked them, but now that gun is being relegated to the safe.

Hi folks, I participated in the Appleseed program 15+ years ago. Back then, 90%+ of the participants were shooting with iron sights. Iron sights were strongly encouraged, and the curriculum revolved around them; optics were the exception, mostly for folks with vision challenges, and not really mentioned in the training materials.

I took a long pause from shooting when my children were born, but now my son is 8 and wants to learn to shoot, and I thought Appleseed would be a great place to start. I haven't been to an event yet, but as I try to catch up with the community, it looks like most people are shooting with optics now.

Can someone catch me up on what has changed in the last 15+ years? Are iron sights still recommended, or has there been an intentional shift to optics? How has the training and curriculum changed?
