    There were 27 combined mikes for the top 10, although Max had eight of those, skewing the average.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    The stages were a good mix of straight up field courses that favored much shooting on the move, some gimmicky activator sequences stuff and some IDPA-esque stages (fun WHO stage, SHO, while carrying an ammo can, etc).

    I liked the mix. A lot of stages had longer shots, complicating the difficulty of shooting on the move, etc.

    It was challenging, but not complicated.

    It ate the lunch of a lot of GM's... the spread of talent was very mixed up!

    That said, I've got so much to learn - the shortage of, well, everything is still frustrating to grind through.

    Max finishing fourth was surprising. Probably the most encouraging thing is how quickly people can ascend into the top 10. I’ve only been following the sport for a couple years and both years there have been out of nowhere people finishing top 10. There were only 3 people in this years top 10 that were also in last years. Granted, several didn’t shoot this year but people can ascend quickly in the sport.

    JJ is having an incredible year, 2nd in production, IDPA Champ, and now CO champ.

    The stages looked really fun. Single hand shooting needed to be on point!

    Good job Les and anyone else that got to shoot!

    I wonder if Beretta is going to start seeing a surge in popularity as a gamer gun again. Sponsoring a ton of IDPA and USPSA matches is one thing, but to have a bunch of 92 variants in the top results is pretty cool.

    It definitely adds validity / credibility.

    (Not that they need it, but you know what they say about perception)

    92x Performance has been out for a bit, not much interest. It doesn't have an optic adapter version, at least not on their site, so I presume his is a hybrid between regular Performance and the Defensive. Beretta's site is full of livid reviews about 92 RDO - because people can't get adapter plates, apparently.
    Aside from his win, I don't think that things are lining up too well for Beretta right now. I am glad that he's upholding his side of the contract. Last year was kinda rough for him, by his standards.
    Doesn't read posts longer than two paragraphs.

    Personally, I don’t see the 92 becoming popular in USPSA. USPSA
    people love aftermarket stuff and there isn’t an aftermarket for the 92. Some of the popular holster makers don’t even offer holsters for it. The gun 92x is on the high end of the price point.

    However, if they can get their open gun working it might be a nice budget option for open division.
