Podcasts and books recommendations

Title.

What podcasts and books do you recommend about training, I am trying to focus less on gear right now. I currently have all Ben’s books, refinement and repetition, and Brian Enos’s book.

Thanks!

92 Vertec wish list

LOK grips makes brass panels for the Beretta 92 but not for the Vertec. I like the extra weight for my competition guns. I asked if they would ever consider making a wraparound version for the Vertec frame and they said if enough people are interested they’d consider it. So if that sounds good to you, maybe reach out LOK.

Training in movement without freaking people out.

I know that some of you are also stuck in the position that your apartment is too small to truly train movement and you do not have access to ranges that allows movement other than during matches. Have you found any training drills or skills to work on that you could for instance do on a basketball court or field in public? Could training footwork without “air-gunning” lead to any improvement?

How to find classified HF info?

Wondering where you can find the HF required for each class for all of the USPSA classifier stages?

Just shot a local match with a classifier and want to see what class I'd be in globally.

Not a uspsa member if that is a problem.

Iron Sights Alignment/Sight Picture Question

When you google iron sights alignment for handguns, you get a lot of similar images like for example

https://pistolwizard.com/static/img/Sights-Diagram-Rear3-min.jpg

or

https://canadianshooter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pistol-sights-vert-align.png

Which show the front sight should be level with the rear sight.

However i found in practice this not to be true for me (CZ Shadow 2 Orange). I watched the Warrior Poet's Pistol course video and it had the correct alignment as middle of the front sight dot level with the rear sights and that has worked really well for me (was wondering why i was shooting low all the time).

This is a screenshot from the Warrior poet video

https://cdn-images.imagevenue.com/bc/4d/7d/ME19J8L0_o.png

He is saying the middle image is correct, not the left one

Is this correct iron sights sight picture different for each handgun ? What are your thoughts on the above (or other) diagrams ?

Thank you

Accuracy w/ hard target focus and irons

I am trying to learn how to do this and just wondering what is a reasonable expectation for accuracy. For years I have shot with the traditional front sight focus, but always slow-fire. I want to start practical shooting so I thought this would be an important thing to learn.

So far it's definitely a struggle. I really can't see where my front sight is a lot of the time if I'm truly hard focusing on the target. I discovered at the range today that it improves massively if I turn off the overhead light, which I always preferred having on for a FS focus. But obviously I won't have control over that in matches.

Anyway my question is: what kind of accuracy is achievable this way, compared to a hard FS focus, all other things being equal? For reference, in slow fire I can shoot roughly 1 - 1.5" groups at 10 yards with a FS focus, but only about 3" at best with a target focus, and even then they're rarely centered on the spot I'm looking at. They are almost always left because that's the way I present the gun. It never mattered back when I wasn't in a hurry and used FS focus, because I could see it and I'd just fix it before firing my shot. But now I have to move the gun around to see if I can make the notch slightly darker or brighter because that's my only way of knowing where the FS is. I'm about 1000 rounds into target focus at this point and I have definitely improved but I'd just like to know if anyone has ever been able to replicate the same accuracy you get with FS focus this way?

Any other tips are welcome of course. Thanks!

Absolutely Wrekt Speed Option at Area 6 - RFPO

Beat my PB by 2.40s in RFPO, with one make up on the first string.

My coach laughed and said I guess I need a new coach cause I stomped him.

Still two more days of shooting, but I’m hopefully top of M. We will see Sunday!

Getting started with steel targets

Anyone have advice on what to look for when buying steel targets? I'm getting into competing and trying to get out to blm for practice more often. Looking for something with minimal setup, maybe multiple sizes for a range of distances (20-200 yards), and what specs to look out for

Doubles drill at 25 yards

Quick question

I usually shoot doubles with 0.13-.15 splits

I can keep it fairly together in 7-10 yards , I have some vertical spreading (only up)

I tried pushing to 25 yards at those splits but kept missing high the second shot.

So I slowed to 0.2 splits which is still predictive shooting but I can stabilize the dot abit at those splits. Whilst doing this I kept it in the A zone and was fully aware of my dot.

By slowing down did I cheat myself? Or in those ranges it is considered acceptable to slow down in this drill?

Belom 124gr 9mm?

Anyone have any experience with this ammo? I’ve seen some pretty good reviews but there’s always some bad reviews out there and those always make me question quality. One review specifically mentioned it being popular for competitive shooting since the recoil is on the lighter side. Does anyone know if they have hard primers? I would be running it in my competition CZ SP-01 that has lighter springs in it. Wanna make sure they’ll all go bang consistently before I grab 3k of them. Thanks 🙏

Silicone Carbide Grip w/ Rubber Granules?

Has this ever been done before? The idea came from Handle-It Grips “ Extreme “. I was wondering if anyone has done this with Silicone Carbide & mixed it with rubber granules & it was an enhancement or was it redundant?

Does anybody know of someone providing metal backstrap for Beretta apx a1 full size? Preferably brass / aluminum. If someone can make an aluminum or steel frame that would be even better.

When you have a magazine that is restricted to 10 rounds, usually there is a lot of unused space inside the magazine. Does anybody make any mechanism to insert weight into those empty spaces? That will be helpful in my mind. Extra weight does not slow down my sight acquisition but helps in recoil.

Axil Xcor tip options

I have a set of Axil Xcor Pro’s but haven’t had the best luck with the tips keeping them in place comfortably. Does anyone know of any optional tips that fit the Xcor’s? I’ve had good luck the ribbed style on the plugs but haven’t had any luck finding decent ones that fit these.
