    Just picked up a 2.0 Compact locally for $499 and put 150 rounds of 147g/130PF reloads through it. I EDC an M&P 9c with Apex sear and USB, and have over 30K rounds through a 5" Pro with Comp AEK...

    I'd shoot 100 rounds every other day and spend the days in between dry firing the next day's drill. I'd also try to keep my strings below 4 rounds to increase the reps of draws and reloads since the...

    Same at my club. The shooting challenges are easier, but the scoring penalties are harsh. An SSP MA had the best pistol score of ~100 shooters at two different new classifier matches in my area. He...

    Your long range accuracy is already good enough to make Master. I'm guessing its your raw times everywhere else that need work. I've personally never dropped fewer than 20 points on Stage 3, and have...

    From what I've seen in classes and competition, the standards for a single shot to the A/-0 zone from concealment at 7 yards are:

    Master: Sub 1.1 seconds
    Expert: 1.1-1.4 seconds
    Intermediate/SS:...

    Been averaging 15k rounds a year for about five years now. Made Ex in IDPA SSP and B in USPSA Limited in my first year competing, but stagnated at this level for over a year. Added roughly 50k cycles...

    Ron Avery shoots my local USPSA clubs, so it may be useful in the context of his post to know a bit about who shows up to these matches. Ron is among a select few national caliber Grand Masters who...

    Got a bump to SSP Master myself, and was surprised to finish ahead of Nils, Seeklander and Randi on a couple stages. Guess I'll just keep all that to myself when my squad starts bashing IDPA at local...

    The consensus among many competitive shooters in USPSA is the front sight should be 70% to 80% of the width of the rear notch. Having enough light bar on either side of the front site is important...

    Frequent dry fire has been the key to improving my on-demand performance, as well. In 2013, I did half the live fire practice I did in 2012, but added 3-5 hours a week of dry practice. Prior to...

    I'm just a couple seconds off SSP Master, and can identify with there being a difference in strategy between the upper and lower divisions in the Classifier. Up through Expert, I shot it as clean as...

    +1. Its as though IDPA is saying that a Limited gun from that other organization is on the same level as a Production gun in the same caliber. Seems pointless to have both SSP & ESP if they are both...

    I recently cut my sessions to half the volume I normally shoot, but doubled the frequency of range visits. Progress is being made. One of my immediate goals is to shoot better cold, and more range...

    I plan to make the same number of range visits in 2013, but will shoot roughly half the center fire I did last year. Most transition, SHO and WHO practice will be with .22lr. I have enough components...

    I shot roughly 20K rounds in 2012, devoting a lot of time to SHO & WHO early in the year. FAST didn't show huge improvement, but my consistency is much...

    Same holster, mag pouches and M&P Pro 9mm in IDPA SSP and USPSA Limited/Production. I do run an Arredondo +5 extension when running Limited.

    I shot two classifiers this year trying this very tactic. My raw times were about 15 seconds apart, but my scores were virtually identical. I placed mid SS in both, but got a match bump to Ex in a...

    Only had time to run it twice before a class, getting 8 hits in 5.6-5.8 secs from a draw. Need to slow down on this one, for sure. Great test.

    Good job to you, as well! The SSP Experts in my squad really hauled the mail, and you apparently smoked them. I too struggled with my trigger, coming completely off of it between shots on the speed...
