Yeah, recoil, felt recoil, power factor all that’s great. But here’s the thing: what about how your ammo groups? I mean, if your rounds feel like a gentle hug but scatter all over the target like you’re shooting buckshot at 10 yards, is that really the ammo you want in a match? These are the kind of existential crises that keep me up at night.
@@zavadad Apologies for not including any precision data. Viking still needs to correct his front sight and didn’t feel comfortable providing you with any suspect findings.
105 is really low. I tried to get a load prepared for a Sig 320 Compact in CCP. I couldn't get the PF below 115 before I got malfunctions. I probably could have gone lower with a lighter spring but it didn't really seem worth it. Even 115 is very light.
Take a look at Zeroed Ammo for some really well priced competition ammo in various weights and calibers! I supplement my reloads with them and have been super pleased.
I am a new competitor (IDPA) who has only shot two matches. I have improved considerably in that time. I enjoy and value your videos along with others that have helped me improve. I look forward to competing in regionals next year in my area. Question. I have been told by my local club that compensators can only be used if “integral” to the pistol. So, no thread on. Which is what the rule book says according to how I read it. Recently I was watching a competitor’s video from nationals at CMP. He was using a threaded attached comp. Are comps allowed or not?
@@PaulGee I mostly compete in CCP division. I’m currently using Xtreme Bullet’s 124gr plated HP over VV n320 loaded to 113 power factor. Just won 1st place in CCP expert class at the Georgia State Championship using that load. Looking forward to Sheepdog, hopefully a bump to master class. Thanks for all the videos Paul. I watch every one of them and use them to spread the word about IDPA to other shooters who are looking to get into the sport. Keep up the great work!
@ShooterReady489 I would love to run 113 in my P2000, but it’s not consistent. I’ll try 124’s and your recipe. Thanks for that and I’ll see you in December!
So if one "random" target is holding a baby hostage, would it be legal to designate as the 2B1H target? Seems pretty intuitive that the guy threatening my baby gets the extra round.
What about when a competitor tapes up one of your down 0 shots and they score you a mic , even though 4-5 other guys saw you shoot the target clean? Asking for a friend.😅
@@thebrassbrigade5963 Tough one. The SO’s are purely evidence based decision makers and a target with one hole is difficult to overrule. However, multiple witnesses can be a compelling argument. Your case should have been challenged and sent up the SO rankings due to touching a target is just as illegal and may get someone DQ. My call? Multiple witnesses would have earned my consideration and changes in the way we score the stage.
I know this might sound crazy but a 300 dollar vr headset and a 10 dollar game and you can teach people about how to handle the firearm and simple basics without having to hand them a real gun
@@taylor1722 Absolutely! There are multiple ways to train and sharpen your skills toward different tasks. And depending where people live in the world will also determine if resources are available or even legal for practice. For me, I need to practice the way I hope to respond to minimize uncertainty. Thank you for your great response.
I bring a sharpie with me and draw 4” tall targets on the giant paper then push that out to 10 yards or 30 feet and try to hit the center and head from them.
Oh my, don’t threaten me with a good time! It was always a dream of mine to shoot 9mm, but always fighting for my rights in California left me with limited choices of guns and prices that were just as insane. STI in 40 was my only option. Otherwise, a Rock Island may have been my first choice.
we do it 15 rounds first mag and 10 rounds second mag, if they have the capacity, that way for the 3rd string they have 5 in the gun and after they finish the 2nd string. CDP if Single Stack takes a bunch of mags.
Dawson precision should show people how to use a caliper correctly. You measure the height as intended, but that picture at 8:39 has probably cost a lot of cursing and additional shipping to save 5 minutes by quickly overlaying stock images.
@@PaulGee It is not about liking it. It shows measuring the front sight height with the large jaw instead of the depth rod. That spreads the wrong use of calipers. With an inaccurate measurement it may lead to wrong orders, dissatisfied customers and unnecessary shipping.
