Hi all, probably a stupid question, however I want to shoot limited optics with my P226 XFive legion. Theoretically the 5 inch bull barrel for the regular 226 XFive series should just drop right into the XFive legion. However I was curious if anyone here has actually done that and how the experience was, if it required any fitting or other tinkering. Thanks!
I recently shot an all classifier and the scores were entered as P but overall percentage hasn’t changed today. Since it’s already the end of Wednesday, is the classification system update being delayed because of race gun nats?
I have an upcoming all classifier match coming up. I've done these before but they're usually done in 3-4 hours. The thing about this upcoming match is that there's 20 people per squad and there's 7 stages and I'm concerned that I'm going to be running into a time conflict by the early afternoon.
I'm curious what the official etiquette is for leaving a match early. I would ideally want to complete all the stages but if it's the early afternoon and there's half of them left, then I may need to duck out for something I can't reschedule for.
I have a P320 X Five Legion. I enjoy it, but so many ranges have banned it from being used due to the uncommanded discharge issue, so it just sits in the safe taking up space. Should I sell it to free up some space and money to buy something else I can use as limited optics?
Has USPSA discussed any plans to address sandbagging, particularly when the goal is to win class awards at major matches?
I'm curious about a situation where a shooter is capable of consistently shooting at a very high level in local matches — regularly 90%+ overall, sometimes 95–100% — but still maintains a much lower classification, such as B or even C.
The concern is that a shooter could potentially:
Then they can enter a major match as a lower-class shooter and compete for a class award against shooters who are actually performing at that classification level.
I'm not talking about someone having one unusually good match or simply improving quickly. I'm talking about deliberately maintaining a lower classification over time for the purpose of competing for class awards.
I know there is a bump system, but it doesn't seem to work particularly well in this situation if someone is intentionally avoiding having their results recorded or manipulating classifier performance.
Does USPSA have any plans to address this? For example, could classification eventually incorporate overall match performance, or could there be some mechanism to prevent someone from intentionally avoiding classification updates?
If you’re looking for more USPSA content to watch, I’ve been vlogging a lot of my matches. Would love for you guys to check it out. Thanks!
Looking at maybe getting one for carry optics, but I'm not sure if there's a good setup for getting 20+ round mags. Thoughts pls, big PDP isn't as ergonomic for me (femboy hands).
Where do you guys recommend sourcing targets from? The ones on Amazon have B zones and are obviously fakes. I need them before Saturday. (Never bought USPSA targets before. I live in California.)
Hey everyone, currently buying the titanx dry fire trainer and wanting a red dot on it like my competition gun, Glock 17 gen 6 w/ COA. Trying to keep the budget within reason on the dot, I can (with substantial discount) get a vortex defender ccw for ~$200 shipped or defender ccw enclosed ~$250.
Has anyone had issues with transitioning between enclosed and open emitters for a dry fire/trainer vs their comp gun? Knee jerk I’m thinking no, but looking for any/all experiences.
Didn't realize I won a trophy in the Escape from Alcatraz match at Richmond (California) this year. The theme of the match was...obviously...Alcatraz prison, with touches like the staff shirts being reminiscent of guard uniforms and competitor shirts resembling the prison's convict outfits.
It shouldn't have caught me off-guard when they handed me my trophy. I hate how kitschy a lot of match trophies are these days, but this one had me laughing. Apparently, they are the authentic tray design.
I’m trying to change the culture in my local LEO community but I want to hear what others have heard from their communities. What are the main excuses you’ve heard and more importantly what are some solutions? There is already some good discussion going on in the comment section of the video, please chime in with what you’ve heard. I’ll do my best to implement the solutions in my community. Thanks!
Hi y’all! I caught the USPSA bug, and now I’m addicted. That being said, I’d love to take some classes with top-level shooters to improve.
I’m fairly new to firearms, so traveling with guns isn’t something I’m quite ready for yet. Is there a website or resource where I can find GMs or Ms who offer classes in Florida? Southwest Florida would be ideal, but I’m more than happy to drive anywhere in the state.
Thank you!
***Context***
All...after being away from the game for ~12 years, I started shooting again about 4 months ago. Don't really have the time or place to do much, if any, live firing. Dryfire it is. Was a production shooter from 2012-14 when production/open were all the rage. Was shooting between A and M level. Best I've done was shooting about 75%-80%of Ben Stoeger and Matt Mink back in the day.
Fastforward to today, started shooting CO a couple of months ago. As a former D1 collegiate athlete, I tend to "muscle" the gun quite a bit in the interest of "speed" -- superficially shooting speed. My movement is quite quick/fast and I tend to shoot pretty fast. Just have to be even more comfortable with target focus and indexing.
***Problem***
For close-target transitions, I often have bad 2nd shots -- C/D and even M. I tend to "float" through the targets and not leading with my eyes and often "muscle" the gun for speed. Yesterday's local match, I finished 4th out of 25 in CO and 17th in the match of 75; as a result of those bad hits from bad transitions, I had 5 mikes and way too many charlies/deltas. Could easily have finished second in CO. In short, my shooting "time" is usually quite good, but sub-optimal transitions often cost me big time...whether from bad hits or from over-transition by muscling the gun; this ends up costing me in points or in time.
***How to address***
I'm going to do more dryfiring and make sure I "pause" on each target within the array. That said, I also want to make sure I don't over-confirm and linger on each target. Any dryfire drill recommendation is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance. Thanks for reading this long post.
Punished myself by shooting L10 to demonstrate a problem with the rules
Hi - current striker fired duty pistol guy looking to upgrade to either a s2 or a 2011, specifically a GP Arms Patriot (~$2k hand fit 2011 with a few mim parts, prob best value in the market).
Assuming I eventually drop in a cgw kit in the s2, which would you pick and why? I'm not tied to CO, obviously willing to go into LO - I'm more looking for the gun that will be performing the best and will be reliable long term.
Shot my first match as a member today and just wondering if the division scores or the combined score is what counts for your classification, for clarity on our classifier today I had 76.13% combined but a 99.20 for CO which one counts towards my initial 4 classifiers?
Got it sorted with the classification calculator turned out to be a mid A class run 79.33%
Thanks everyone who helped
First M class run ever. Shot this at 84.5% the last time I shot it now 85.4%. Could have been higher if I didn’t hit so many Charlie’s but I’m happy and can’t complain about a m class run
It's a little warm in south Florida. Looking at howitzer but are there any other sun hoodies people recommend? Locally, all i see are custom jerseys with sponsors and their names on the back. Since I suck, it'll be a while before I get that. Pic for attention in the jersey we got for doing a special match at the OK Corral.
I wanted to make a post to get some input from owners of p211s and 2k11s or someone who’s shot both. I’ve got the 2011 itch and want to get one ideally sub $2500 hence why I landed on these two options. I have large hands so I will say I’m leaning towards the p211 for that reason. If I do go with the p211 it’d be the GTO, I would just have to acquire a sight block. Any input is helpful and I appreciate anyone’s time.
