Plus it was a challenge. I tried to stay within 3-4 seconds of the good open shooters on each stage with my 226/RMR. I knew I was at a huge disadvantage with my setup, but it was my work gun and I didn’t care.
To an extent, I still shoot at a disadvantage. I mostly shoot CO with my carry gun. Which had always been a G19/229/P07 sized pistol against guys shooting G34s, CZ Shadows, Q5s or whatever. I’d shoot from AIWB if they’d let me.
Now that I’m switching over to Glocks I may buy a true game gun, but still plan on shooting a lot with my duty/carry guns.
