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.
Another interesting data point on reacting to a "stop" signal.
Stage 17 from production nationals in 2022 was a 8 second PAR time stage. A significant number of the production shooters in the...
Another data point on this: I also agree that our mind's ability to process information subconsciously is much faster than the conscious .20-.25 reaction time. An interesting case study I do on this...
I had a similar epiphany doing some training with JJ and Sean Griffith about a year ago on a drill with about 3 shooting positions. Sean is an excellent super squad CO shooter. Sean and I were...
I've heard this argument stated several times over the years in my organization and from one of these units mentioned, and I wholeheartedly disagree with the premise of it. The argument I've heard is...
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...
I used to use Salomon Speedcross but have been using baseball cleats for the last 4 years or so. I won't go back to trail running shoes at all. The cleats are superior on almost every USPSA surface...
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.
Honest self critique/assessment is critical to improving on your own. I've found that most people are incapable of this, and therefore need an outside observer to tell them what they are doing wrong...
I know you've had your sights installed by multiple people/professionals, but I've seen hundreds of guns with the front sight twisted that were installed by full time agency gunsmiths. The direction...
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.
One of the biggest...
I consider reactive shooting any shot that I mentally confirm the location of the sights/dot prior to breaking the trigger. That doesn't meant the sights have stopped moving or the dot is steady, it...
Both predictive and reactive, depending on target difficulty. In the first stage, that far partial was definitely a reactive sight picture. I ended up putting two shots within 1” of each other on the...
I shot my first club match with this trigger today. Overall, I’m still very impressed and happy with it. Again, not the best Glock trigger I’ve ever felt, but extremely forgiving, especially when...
There are all kinds of situations that may bump your gun out of battery or slow down your slide movement while shooting, from contact with your hands, gloves, clothing (in a retention shooting...
I put a few hundred rounds through it yesterday and really like it so far. It is extremely forgiving, and I found times where I would have called a bad shot with a stock trigger, this one still put...
I picked up one of these triggers and installed it in one of my competition guns. Here are my observations and thoughts so far:
*I am measuring about 4-4.25#'s of trigger pull vs. 4.5# in my stock...
I disagree about this part, but I think that's a common misperception with regards to SAO/2011 style guns that is a holdover from the 90's and early 2000's when the alternatives were heavy DA/SA...
I don't disagree that the weight change helped the polymer gun shooters more, but it took the division even further away from the concept of "bring your factory gun from your nightstand to compete",...
My vote is for this one: as much capacity as you can fit in the production box.
Low cap is dead. Stage design for low cap is non-existent, even at most level 2-3 matches unless it's a match...
