It’s been slightly dremeled at an angle and then silicon carbided over. Read something about modifying grips to have a thumb rest, does this count?

Hello, I am attending my first ever Shooting Competition. Looking for tips and pointers, I am showing up with my Springfield Hellcat Pro, 5 mags, ears/eyes. Aside from Ace Virtual Shooting I have no idea what to expect, any tips are greatly appreciated.

Dunno if this is the place, if not sorry mods. Are there any good spots anyone reccomends for ipsc rifle matches? Could be international or even something not specifically ipsc rifle but includes rifle shooting at both close and long ranges (like gas gun but fast?) I saw a couple carbine shoots or mini rifle on practiscore but maybe im looking up the wrong thing. Any advice in the right direction would be awesome thanks.

Does anybody make 170mm mags that aren’t 100 plus dollars? I’m pretty tempted to just buy some promag 32s and cut them down to size. Anyone done something similar or have better ideas?

Check out my Etsy shop with a handful of practical shooting designs. Free shipping on all and more designs to come as I have time. DM me if you have anything you’d like to see. Thanks! https://azoneapparel.etsy.com

What are the benefits of adding an aluminum mag-well to a CZ Shadow 2 for competitive shooting? Does it significantly aid in faster magazine changes under pressure?

I’m thinking about getting into USPSA but want to start in carry optics. I can buy a new slide for my Sar9 with shield micro footprint or I could just ahead and grab a g34/g43x/g45 or something in that range.

Has anyone run a sar9 before? It’s a budget gun but I think it won’t be what’s holding me back. I have looked around for owb holsters and there’s not too much selection though.

Do any of you know or use VR for training precision? Is there anyone using something to train for ISSF precision challenges, rather than Steel Challenge?
I'm aware of Ace VR, but it mostly focuses on running around and shooting targets.

Hello there, everyone I have wanted to get into target shooting for years now but haven't been able to due to my housing situation. So I wondered if anyone had any advice on starting points, guides, gun advice for a starter, or even a YouTube to check out. I was looking at a Ruger M4, I like the look, but from what I've seen 9mm is the general size you want to shoot. Again, any advice is welcome.

Does anyone know if I can shoot my Shadow Systems XR920P with the comp taken off in another division other than open?

Have a Shadow 2 and looking to put on a 507Comp to shoot my first competition - CO in USPSA.

I see removing the cover plate removes the rear sight. The OEM CZ plate is $50 but doesn’t have a rear sight vs. the Impact ICM plate has a rear sight but for $100. I don’t mind the price. I just want to know if it really is twice as good with the rear sight. If I get the Impact plate, do I have to get the front sight as well or else it won’t co-witness?

What optic plates do you guys run for your shadow 2? Any preferences or opinions would be great, thank you!

Has anyone shot at this event before? What’s a good safe number of rounds to bring?

For a beginner like me just getting into IPSC, would you recommend grip upgrades early on, or should I wait until I have more experience? Brass grips caught my attention, but I’m not sure if they’re a beginner-friendly choice.

Does anyone have experience running a Staccato CS, New C, or a C2 in the CCP division? If so, how did it fit in the box and did you have to do any modifications to it?

Hey all, was thinking about buying a fancy gun for limited optics but then stumbled upon that optics are now allowed in limited 10, and that looks like a lot of fun.

Can anybody recommend a 2011 style gun that comes factory in .40 with a frame mounted optic mount , Gas pedal, and slide racker?

Saw this video and thought I ask you guys your thoughts on running vs walking …or even standing still!
