r/USPSA

Planning to attend my first match this coming weekend and am feeling underprepared. I’ve only been shooting for a few months, and have taken 3 training classes (Basic Handgun 1&2 & a defensive handgun course). The second two classes incorporated a lot of holster work, but my normal range is indoors and does not allow drawing from the holster, so I’ve been practicing dry at home. Just looking for any nuggets of knowledge that might be valuable for my first time out!

Anyone use RKX Carnivore Holsters? Looking at one possibly for my Glock. Currently have a Carey Concealment

Just wondering how you like it.

Yesterday I shot a USPSA match. I saw the results on practiscore about an hour after the match ended but how long will it take for them to show on the USPSA app itself?

Going to put a minus connector from (probably) tactical trigger in my Glock, and I'm debating if the rolling break or crisp break is a better option.

Hey all, I currently shoot a shadow 2 in uspsa. It's cajunized but I still tend to yank the first DA shot, which is really frustrating on classifiers. I want to give a Walther SF a shot. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to try either before I make the commitment. Those that compete with them. Should I go 4.5" or 5" match? I'll change the guide rod and grips immediately either way.

Thanks!

Figured it might be fun to try my hand at limited optics, given I have larger hands and prefer a magwell.. I've seen a lot of people vouch for the 2K11, some people say Staccato is the way to go but plenty more express their disappointment in the brand. I've seen Prodigy and CZ S2 thrown around a little bit so it got me curious where a good starting point would be.

I know everybody says start where you are comfortable but I currently have an LFA Apollo 11 sub and a MAC DSD-Comp that I've been shooting so I'm comfortable with the platform and always looking for a reason to purchase a new toy.

What is everyone using for active ear protection? My Axils are falling apart and don't have a great NRR.

I've had Ace for a couple weeks now and really like it. I'm just using a quest 2, but I feel like it's plenty good enough.

I'm just curious what drills y'all like to run to actually help build skills vs just playing the game. I've been doing a lot of the steel challenge ones to work on transitions.

I live in the northeast and have been shooting seriously for ~18 months now. Recently hit M in LO and CO and have a renewed interest in shooting major matches. This year, I was late to every one. I was able to sneak into one major but basically nothing else. In 2027, I really want to shoot a few majors and have my training revolve around that.

My problem is I have no idea how to figure out details on these matches until it's too late. Where are yall keeping up to date on majors throughout the year? Is it just constantly checking until a registration date is posted? Is there a website? If it's a function on PractiScore, can you drop the intel?

I feel like I'm missing something obvious but don't know what.

It's been a while since I've seen this discussed here, so I wanted to revisit it now that the shooting season is in full swing.

How's everyone feeling about the G17 Gen 6 vs. the G47? Early on, it seemed like a lot of people were unhappy with the Gen 6's recoil impulse, amongst other things. For those who stuck it out and kept shooting it, how are you feeling now?

I mainly shoot a 47, but picked up a 17.6 through Blue Label pricing to give it a fair shot. Personally, I'm not a fan of the Gen 6's recoil impulse. On paper — and during dry fire and general handling — it feels like it should be the better gun. But the moment I shoot them back-to-back, I find myself preferring the 47. I genuinely can't tell if that's just familiarity, or if the 17.6 is actually worse.
