Well I have taken the plunge and have gone full tilt in moving to Open division in USPSA. Got bitten by the completion bug over a year and a half and haven’t looked back since. Started out in Carry Optics and just made the jump to Open for 2020. Borrowed my buddies Atlas Chaos and did a classifier match and got B class first time shooting an open gun, lol. I ordered a Phoenix Trinity Honcho that is a pretty new concept gun with the way the designed their lock up system (see the vids below) It seems to have an added benefit of reducing recoil a bit. Shooting 9 major now but they have barrels you can just drop in to swap from any caliber you want. Provided a couple links below that describes how it works.
I have attached pics of my new gun, using the Romeo3 MaxXL. Ran my first match with it this weekend and it by far was the most fun I ever had shooting in USPSA. Tried posting the a stage run but wouldn’t post from my videos like my pics do, I think I need to YouTube the video first, may try again later. Hopefully the gun proves to be reliable over time, it’s been out for just over a year but so far seems to be running reliable for all the users. By the way no affiliation at all with the company, just sharing the information.
