I have a 1911 TRP with tlr9 wml. Weight exceeds the 45 oz rule for single stack division so would like to know if weight rule counts the wml so that i would need to remove it to qualify. Am a casual shooter who only does local matches.

Hey there! New to any form of shooting competition. My friend and custom holster maker got me into it. I'm very excited and wanting to gather gear as I can here and there. All I have so far are my firearm & 2 magazines. She's willing to make me a holster for it. I am also looking for holster options to buy. I'm a woman with an hour glass figure, so id really really like something with a thigh strap for extra security during my draw. Thanks guys! Located in ENC.

So I've taken the plunge into the Open Division woot. I'm shooting a P320 spectre comp ( Limited ) is my usual go-to Division so this comp stuff is all new to me.
My current ammo is a custom load developed specifically for Production guns that I load on a Dillion 550. It's a 124g round nose pushed at around 132 power factor with Bullseye powder ( couldn't tell you the exact charge weight ) with a 1.135 oal This ammo runs in my 320 comp but I have no idea of I'm starting behind the performance curve regarding having more/less gas being comp'd.

Any recommendations are welcomed as well as any constructive criticisms .. Ty

I am looking for a 1911 in 9mm for fun and to use the same ammo as my loads for production and carry optics. I want a 1911 with rail and optics ready. It looks like my best two options would be the Dan Wesson Specialist OR or the Springfield Operator AOS. Are there any I’m overlooking or why I should or shouldn’t go with one of these?

Hi guys,

I recently escaped from the People's Republic of New Jersey to Virginia and am going to apply soon for a Virginia DL so that I can buy a firearm without needing to go through the whole process of getting a firearms purchaser identification card and having to deal with all the restrictions NJ has with respect to firearms.

I have been doing some research into different firearms and ammunition and calibers. However, something I have not considered until just the other day is the idea of getting into competition shooting, at least at a hobbiest level initially. I used to do olympic archery as well as track and field through college and then later with New Balance awhile back and have been getting a strong itch to get back into some sort of competition scene. Over the years I have sustained some injuries, including to my heart and lungs overseas so I haven't had much of a chance to give the competitive itch a go outside of pickleball (yea I know :/).

I saw and also heard from someone about there being a USPSA carry division effectively. I want to initially becoming highly proficient with a single gun before I branch out and have currently been considering strongly the Hellcat Pro (No-Comp), Beretta PX4 Storm Compact, and Sig P365 X Macro. I am not a huge guy (5'9 at around 180 lbs) but I have XL hands so I do not want to go too small on the grip. I was wondering what gun you guys might recommend that would allow me to have a decent bit of fun on the USPSA scene whilst also being practical for EDC given my stature. Also would having a built in compensator be an issue for competition in the carry divisions?

Also as per ammo, I plan to use Federal Syntech ammo (just to reduce lead exposure since I already have a whole host of injuries and damage to my insides haha). I don't know if this ammo choice is a huge factor for gun selection. I found some nice bulk deals on cases of the 150 grain and 127 grain Syntech ammo.

Thank you guys for taking the time to read this and for entertaining my questions.

I was talking to a friend of mine who recently started shooting and usually competes at limited10. Most matches he is the only one in that division, so he always gets 100% score. I am wondering if he is going to become GM as soon as he soots his 6th match. What are the rules for such situations?

I pray for power factor right. If DQs lurk or foot faults creep, I pray my reloads don’t make me weep.

Bless my sights and every stage, Keep my fingers smooth, no rage. Help my splits be quick and clean, And make those steel plates fall unseen.

Through barrels, walls, and swinging doors, Guide my steps and help my scores. And when the match is all but done, May the A-zone bless each run.

Hello friends, long time lurker first time poster here. I normally shoot a 2011 in LO, but just picked up the sp01 urban grey version (threaded barrel) for a stupid good price, and rather than try to just make it just a shadow 2 with a longer barrel, I figured I'd keep it close to stock and shoot production instead.

Does this thing fit into the uspsa box with the threaded barrel, or is that gonna be a problem? Also, from my reading of the production division ruleset, I am allowed to cajun this thing, but not convert it to SAO/remove the FPB?

I flipped the rule book and from what I can tell, cajun kit is fine, FPB removal is a no-go, and it should fit inside the box i think?

Sorry if this has been said somewhere else but after a good while of searching reddit and watching videos on YouTube I still couldn’t find a definitive answer. I also couldn’t find any pics or videos of the standard belt attachment connecting to the pouch itself to help guide me.

Can the CR speed mag pouch be mounted with teklok belt attachment?

Hello all, moved to Massachusetts from abroad and I am looking for a good club near Boston. Any thoughts or pointers?

Is the HK USP Elite .45 ACP allowed in USPSA production class or does it not fit in the box?

I have long looked at and admired the Shadow 2 OR and my new one should arrive tomorrow.

I have a Holosun 507C on hand and have ordered the following holster setup.

BDS Carnivore

Boss hanger with blad tech mount.

I now need to figure out the best options for mounting the Optic. I am looking at an Impact Machine Plate with the co-witness sight. I will also add the front sight to get the rear sight to work. Should I do this or is there a better product for a mount? I don't shoot USPSA yet but want to get my setup right.

It's that time of year again! The new board (tm), comprised of similar geniuses to the folks who gave us Cameo, lifetime employment for Jake Martins, and a lifetime ban for a national champion-cum-YouTube trolls.

They look different, but they sure don't act different!

Time to roll out a nationals schedule that puts the most popular division at the beginning of the year (as seen before), but now saddled with a bunch of irrelevant divisions nobody cares about.

It's pretty obvious that they hate actual competitors and want to do everything possible to dilute and depress the competitive field.

I ordered an AMG Timer August 7. It’s is now October 20. I’ve emailed and called and haven’t heard a single thing from them about this shot timer that I’ve given up hope on now. Is this normal? It says it might take over 8 weeks, but at the time I ordered they were saying 6-8 weeks. This Wednesday will be 12 weeks. Anyone have any other suggestions besides contact them, because I’ve tried that numerous times?

Gun was new a couple years ago.

A few weeks ago at about the 35,700 round mark, the extractor hook broke.

Replaced the extractor with an eeman tech one, and a CGW spring(not hi power as it is not recommend for 9mm 75s). Ran about 600 rounds though the gun in practice with maybe one malfunction, didn’t think much of it.

Now for the last couple of matches the gun is choking on nearly every stage with a failure to extract. Slide strips the top round and jams it into the empty case causing some good clearing practice.

I switched the extractor spring back to the old one. It ran one stage(28 rounds I think) ok and then again on the next stage it extracted but the case did not clear the ejection port and the slide closed on the case with it sticking out the side.

Anyone use and/or have trouble with eeman’s extractor, and anything else I can try or look for as far as a cause?? I’ve ordered an extractor from CZ Custom, CZ USA of course has none in stock per usual.

This gun has been so reliable that I don’t even think about the possibility of malfunction unless it’s user-induced. The extractor has to be the problem…

Not a happy camper, malfunctions drive me nuts as well as ruined my entire match and a couple of classifiers.
