    He's not wrong - the money isn't in the prize tables any more. But I can't think of a single Top 16 American GM whose sole source of gun-related income is matches. Which is why shooting multiple nationals is important, because if you're selling classes or trigger jobs, that shit helps.

    Oh, fuck, stop conflating things.

    First, it was 5,000 rounds. I am just a doc, with doc's salary, can't afford as much ammo as you can.

    Second, the reason I was considering Limited was because after shooting CO for 5 months (after doing a Production for three years), I am not going back to a division with every-10-or-so-reload dance. Not for competition purposes, at least. There is so much of the game that this reloading frenzy is standing in the way for me, I am done with it. You yourself quit it like 5 years ago? So if I ever go back to irons for competition, it will be Limited, and I ain't Gabe either, so it will a foootay.

    So the only 'cause Ben part was a consideration of a Tanfo, but I dig that blue gun anyway, and I am not hugely in love with TSO ergos, and I am not paying 3-5 grand for a 2011. Remember, I am just a doc, with doc's salary.

    That coupled with his statement that shooting .40 he simply “does not care” if he throws a C. In many peoples brain that equates to “wow, I can be like Ben and not worry about all those pesky c’s”. Little do they know...

    I predict people will switch back to production when their guns start breaking and they have reliability problems. For most shooters that should be a year or two away...

    Depends on the gun. I’d bet my STI shooting .40 will outlast my Shadow 2 in 9mm.

    Possibly, that’s if you can get the STI running...

    Mine has been incredibly reliable. However, mine’s a full build by Millennium Custom.

    Getting the mags right is the trick. I use STI magazines. I’ve found that the SV mags I had and others didn’t sit as high in the gun.

    I have a purpose built gun for every division in USPSA. if I could only keep one, this would be the one.

    I was at that bpr match and was surprised by production numbers last week but a few less shooters all together. I normally shoot production but just got off work and my work gun puts me in limited minor.

    I broke 1 sight (around 13K rds). I have had several screws walked out on my other ones. That's the thing - everything needs to be loktited when shooting major. Including your grip
    BTW, my buddy broke his rear sight on his STI DVC after 10K as well.

    Welcome to the forum. Always good to see another MN person here. Of course now I have to try to figure out what your real name is based on the set of people in Limited in that match who normally shoot production. (Fear not, I'm not interested in outing you in any way, just satisfying my own curiosity.)
