IPSC/USPSA shooting help!!

[scooterj]

I have 8) 10rounders and 8) 8rounders already .

So long as they are reliable, you are good to go. Will need to carry at least 4 mags on the belt.

They are the CMCs power mags. Some like them some dont. They never let me down in my Kimber and Springer (My Wilsons hate cmc mags).


Thanks

for single stack u need atleast 6 mags on ur belt

I'd say 10-12 would be a more fair estimate. There are more recent matches with > 12 shooters than there are < 10.

As far as L10, usually you have a handful, same as SS.

To get an idea of the breakdown go to lagator.org and click on the uspsa clubs (EAPS, CAS, TPS) and check the score sheets. They are broken down by division.

It does seem that Ltd. gets the most.

I did what you said and if I understood it correct it seems out of production
single stack and L10. Production has the most shooters on a average (not all the time). Did I understand that correct??

 

[spanky]

Yes.

Production It is I made my mind up. I have been wanting a reason to look for a fullsize 9mm anyway .

Any tips on guns and gear for production feel free to pass them my way.



Thanks

CZ75 point like a 1911, glock points like a glock, either one would do the trick
Just find one that point's natural for you!

I do love Glocks but I think I wanna give something else a try.

The guns Iam looking at so far are the CZ75 / S&W M&P / H&K.

My wife is just going to shoot her duty G-23 (and dont dare say anything about her glock ).

 

[spanky]

I'd go with an m&p over a 75b because of the dao over sa/da.

Unless there is a dao 75b then get whichever you like the best.

 

[Zero.40]

i like a CZ-sp01 or CZ-75 if i got the numbers and all right

 

[smith625]

The m-p for the money is very reliable, easy to shoot and accurate, it is taking a good bite out of glock in the production ranks. The glock will be available next year with a removable palm swell if that is any clue.

 

[kz45]

I think the palm swell will be a big improvement

Palm swell? We don't need no stinkin' palm swells

Ok, I am bias on the gun for Production. CZ all the way. I have the CZ 85 Combat (bought back in 2004) that comes with Ambi controls and fully adjustable sights. Cheap to obtain, all steel, very accurate, reliable and points like a 1911 to me. Just get a trigger job on it and it is ready to go.

The 75 is good and the SP01 is the cats meow

I just bought the M&P Pro 9mm to take a crack at Production. I already had four Glocks, but as stated, they just don't point and shoot like the 1911's I'm familiar with. Not to mention the M&P has a good trigger right out of the box.

Any of the pistols mentioned can take you to the winner's circle. The most important thing (other than safety) is to have fun.

See you next Sunday.

As Buddy says, remember that it's the Indian not the arrow.

I personally like the Glock 34. It's a proven platform that works for me. It fits like a comfortable shoe because I've put tens of thousands of rounds down range with one. Most people who like the grip angle of the 1911 style pistols don't like Glocks and vice versa. I contend that a well set up gun coupled with practice is all you need. I don't care for the 1911/2011 grip angle, but had no trouble hammering plates from the first shot when a buddy put his STI Executive in my hands. Unfortunately, he asked for it back

In thinking of the guys in our local clubs whom I would consider the top shooters in Production over the last few years, the people whose skills I admire, I can list people who shoot Glocks, Sigs and CZs. Over the next year or so I will probably add some S&W and SAs to that list as their numbers increase and new shooters enter the fold. Most of the top guys stick with the platform they have and are used to.

The key to success: find something you like and practice with it until you can't miss
