    Production for now. I'm all in on production for the next couple years trying to earn a world shoot slot.

    I've switched my USPSA gun to a Tanfo Stock Master this year, and I find it points extremely close to a Glock, to the point I can go back and forth between the two with no issues.

    Not to be a downer, but within a similar class of pistols (for example, a G19 to an M&P to a Sig 320 to a Walther PDP to a Canik Rival to a Staccato to a CZ P10 etc), a good shooter is not going to...

    In my experience, SIRT pistols are great for force on force training, especially when you don't want to use all the protective gear required for simunitions, however, they are terrible for dry fire...

    Slightly off topic, but I've been doubling up ear pro for years and found this works best for me. I'm around a lot of shooting. Both at USPSA and other competitive matches, my own training (~15k...

    I use g34’s for production. The sight radius provides a little more forgiveness when your irons aren’t perfectly aligned, which is almost every shot in a sport like USPSA. The 17L doesn’t come in...

    I generally subscribe to this line of thinking: Make a plan, internalize it, visualize it, execute it as aggressively as possible. If you get off your plan (malfunctions, standing reload, etc), get...

    I agree with this. I'm also switching from a Glock to a Tanfo this off season and it only took about a week of dry firing 15-20 minutes a night to have my index draw on point.

    I recommend the 47 or 17. Either will take you as far as you ever want to go in the sport.

    I like the DAA XiP pouches because you can adjust them around a wider axis. I like to angle mine out away...

    This is definitely a thing with Glocks. My gen5's shoot predictably about 2" low and 1" right at 25 of the center of the group at 25 yds on the first shot.

    Hit factor scoring is far superior to any other competitive shooting scoring format, and as others have said, it's easy to compute now that it's all done electronically.
