Hi

I was wondering if it was allowed to fit an extended magazine release button for the Production Optics Division, can't seem to find much information about it or is this covered onder the statement of 'facilitating faster reloads'?

The part I am referring to is an 'Oversized Mag Release Button' for a CZ Shadow 2 by LOK grips

I'm looking to build a competition rig for IPSC Production Optics, using either a Walther Q5 SF or a Shadow 2. I'm interested in your recommendations for the following:

• Belt
• Holster
• Mag Pouches

I'm seeking a setup that prioritizes speed, comfort, and reliability. What would you buy if budget was not a problem?

Odd question, but I recently started competing, and I'm in the D class. I see B's A's and a few others. I was wondering what you need to do to move up to C, B, A, etc...

I want to try IPSC shotgun in 2025 but there are so little information on the internet, also I live in Canada so my purchase options are pretty limited. Now I can only find this one on Amazon, is it worth buying or is there any other options in Canada?

Here in IPSC are bull barrels allowed in the production division? I plan to change my barrel in my shadow 2 to a bull barrel

I've been competing in IPSC for about a year and at the start of my journey registered an ics alias right away hoping I would be able to shoot one or two classifier stages every now and then.

But no one seems to care about ICS or classifiers, Have they died out or never been popular to begin with?

Since the entire ICS thing seem to run through winmss which is about to expire on march 31st 2025 and IPSC says to just "wind back" the date and time on the pc that you are running it on to keep working in the system.

In my region (Sweden) we basically only use shootnscoreit to manage our matches. And it's been over a year since a match has been reported to IPSC using winmss.

So what are your experiences or thoughts about this?
Do you/ your club use winmss or shoot classifiers every now and then to have a rank?

Time to recycle some cardboard... Made with fomecore, hot glue, and cut paper clips. #ipsc #target #ipsctarget #uspsatarget #uspsa

I recently bought some trigger parts for my CZ Sp01 Shadow, and I was wondering if you guys knew of any good gunsmiths in the Montreal region. I only have one pistol to compete with so I want to make sure I find someone that wont brick my only handgun :p

The title pretty much says it all. I was recently given the advice that I should be shooting with both eyes open, and my shooting has gotten worse. Maybe I need to get used to it, or maybe 1 eye closed it ok? What do you guys do? For clarification I shoot with iron sights

I currently

Hey there. I've been casually training for IPSC for a little over a year now, with my 92FS.

I've been running 15rd mags (92X ones) in my rig. I do have one 18 rounder I got before knowing about the capacity limitation, usually sitting back at home. But recently, I read that you are required to load no more than 15 rounds, not explicitly indicating that your magazines should not be able to load more than 15 (p.e.: using my 18 rounder with only 15 in it). Is this true?

Aside from that, I've been getting the itch to start shooting striker-fired polymer guns. I know that they are not exactly "meta" for Production (Optics), but I still want to challenge myself to do it. So far, I've got my eyes on:

• Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS: I know, I know, the trigger. I do love how easy is to fully disassemble and modify these things. Also, the MOS part does open the possibility of me getting into Optics at some point.
• Walther PDP 5": Good ergos and trigger. I got to try one and it felt more snappy/flippy than equivalent guns. Otherwise nothing bad to say about it. Comes OR too.
• CZ P-10F: Again, good ergos and trigger. Haven't had the chance to try one yet. They look pretty good. Also comes in OR.

I'd appreciate any of you giving me your 2 cents on any of these 3 guns. As a note, all these 3 guns have about the same price at my local gun store.

Hi there,

greetings from Germany. I am shooting since about 1 year with pistols and rifles on the range.
According to German law I am gonna be able to buy my own gun in a few month. I startet with shooting on fix targets and recently switched over to the IPSC range. Even though I took my time it was quite fun for me.

As my practice GUN was a Glock 19X I am now used to the System and I like the gun. I also tried a SigSauer, but my choice is the Glock 17 Gen5. My problem: Almost every Person on the range is telling me that Glock is bad choice and I will soon regret it. "Go get a CZ Shadow"

I there really something wrong with Glocks and IPSC? My primary goal is atm not driving to turnaments and so on. I just wanna have fun from time to time on the IPSC range.

Talking about Glock and IPSC Production. Is there a better Glock then the 17Gen5 MOS?

What is the general shortest length of Ar-barrel That would make power factor with regular 55gr or maybe even a heavier bullet?

So i'm gonna do my black badge course, but other than the holster, I don't have any of the gear. I need a belt and mag holders x 5, but i don't know where to start. Any brands I should avoid? Anything that isn't crazy expensive but good quality? I'm located in Montreal, anywhere I should order from or stores I could check out?

Big thanks!

Currently shooting CO in USPSA, want to shoot an IPSC match.

Is my takedown/thumb rest legal on my gun?

Can I run my 140mm basepads and just load to 15 or do they have to be short?

Is there a weight for Prod Optics?

Are magnets allowed on the belt?

Thank you, I’ve been trying to find out information from the rulebook but would like to be sure.

This will also be an international match, going to Guatemala from the states, any insight greatly appreciated.

Im preparing myself to take my black badge course. My pistol is an old Ruger P85. I know its far from a competitiom gun but its what I've got. I have mags and mag holsters, but im having issue finding an approved holster for the pistol itself. I have a mini rds on my p85 so the fitted leather holster I currently have only holds the pistol with slide locked back. I see the Fobus 97, I believe is the right number, is made for the P85. And should allow room for the dot sight. Im just not sure if they are any good or Ipsc approved.

This might be a stupid question but that's what the internet is for.

I really want to get into ipsc. I got my restricted license days after the ban occurred. Is there any ways I can bet a gun for competition? Any way around the ban. Legally obviously.

Very new to the sport, and I am eyeing on getting an Echelon for EDC and competing in the said division. My questions are:

• Why is the Echelon with threaded barrel qualified (in the list) but the regular isn't?
• Will the non-threaded version be qualified any time in the future?

TIA for any response!!!!

Hey, does anyone know where I can buy these metal holders for the belt? Don´t even know how to call them in english....

I‘m in Austria, i recently got approved for 2 more semi autos, total of 4. i have an Arex Delta L i have shot in some static competitions, and recently in production in my first ipsc match.

On the range, i sometimes had the opportunity to try other peoples guns, and i must say, i like the feel of full steel. Not just because i might want to shoot ipsc with it.

So i‘ve been thinking how i want to burn my hard earned money. So far i looked at the following ones:

Beretta 92x performance:

Pros: beretta pretty. Feels nice in hand. Said to be good out of the box.

Cons: beretta expensive (1900€). Slide very hard to rack, especially since by usual overhand grip is a bit hindered by the unshrouded barrel. No conversion kits that i know of to .22lr

CZ sp01:

Pros: CZ almost as pretty. Cadet conversion kit for .22lr avaliable. Dont think i‘ll outperform the gun to justify the cost the shadow 2 (1900-2100€, depending on the alignment of the stars). many holster options. Cost lower than beretta, 1300€.

Cons: i cant seem to find any for the life of me. Shadow2s just came some in, no sp01s. Might need to wait indefinitely.

Arex alpha:

Pros: already have the Delta and love it. Cheapest (950€). Runs fine Out of the Box, they say. Feels AMAZING in my hand. Easy to find.

Cons: most complicated to get parts for. Not that many options for holsters unless you go custom from the start. Delta magazines look exactly the same, except for one indent and dont work with the alpha. I have many delta mags. No conversion kits

Tanfoglio stock 1:

Pros: also veeery pretty. Just a hair more expensive than the alpha. Sights are intuitive to me. Conversion kits to .45acp avaliable, which is cool but a little weird in comparison. Basically a CZ clone. Feels better than the CZs i handled in my hand.

Cons: .22lr conversion would be great to have a cheaper training option. Overall a little small for my hands. Getting parts has been so so in the recent past, my LGS owner told me.

I have only put a few rounds through them, and often not the exact model (most ranges here dont have loaners, and gun shops dont have ranges usually)

That’s basically what i narrowed it down to.

WWYD? Or something else entirely?

Hello all! I am currently a USPSA shooter, and I will be shooting my first IPSC match in the Australasia match a couple months from now! I have been trying to navigate the IPSC rulebook for exact verbage on the legal set up of my Open division belt rig but I am having some difficulty. Any guidance or assistance would be immensely appreciated! Thank you!!

Oh boy. I did the safety course a few months ago, but i have had shot only static before today.

It was a lvl2 match, 12 stages over 4 hours. I shot production with my arex delta.

Goals achieved: not DQed. Probably not last! Goals not achieved: not missing some targets entirely. Completely brain farted in the second half sometimes.

Some people are absolute monsters. I mean you can watch on YouTube but it doesn’t do it justice. But it was also reassuring to see that even seasoned players sometimes fumble. Makes getting better seem a little more realistic.

Anyway. It sucks that i effectively cant train aside simple drills (no ranges that allow anything other than static pistol shooting in reach), but i’m excited to get more hours in once i move starting next year.

Just wanted to share, no big revelations for yall. Thanks!
