You guys are putting out some good quality videos. My only suggestion would be cutting them down a lot. Either make them a multi part series or just remove some of the explanations. I think a lot of people have such a short attention span and a 30+ minute video is a big “commitment”.
If I have a 2011 and red dot but has a light with those tactical development pro ledge will that put that gun in open division instead on limited optics?
Good information but you showed your rookieness by filming with the sun BEHIND you, over your shoulder. When you hold a black mag or black gun in front of you, in front of your BLACK SHIRT, you can't see. Don't do that again.
@JJLTACTICALSOUTIONS That is a common misconception. A thigh strap has zero bearing on speed like a holster does. If I attached one to my MRH race holster, it wouldn't slow me down at all. It also wouldn't help much, but that's because it's only been allowed for a few months. You can expect to see more competition oriented ones to fully take advantage of the new rule as people design competition specific ones.
Just stumbled onto this video. Super helpful as I want to get into competition shooting and knowing what different things are needed from a battle belt (which I am making currently). Good stuff!
Very informative, thanks for sharing everything. Honest question: why choose the battle belt for your current competition setup if you're using Tek Lok and a competition holster hanger, all things that just clamp over the whole belt instead of using the molle? Looks like the other belts are stiffer, so what are you gaining by using the battle belt that way?
Great video. Lots of good info. No one cares about revo. 😂 I think the fact that many carry optics shooters are doing well in limited optics somewhat proves the point that that division should have its place. A 2011 with a slide ride optic and minor power factor is more comparable to traditional carry optics guns than they are traditional open guns( that they would have previously been competing against) with compensators, frame mounted dots and major power factor.
Look an Asian lol. Thanks for putting this video out. I've read some of the rulebook, But your video takes any mystery or questions out of the equation. Been wanting to try my hand at competition. Shooting in this video definitely gives me the confidence that I may have been overthinking getting started. The minor major power factor thing was always confusing to me. After your explanation, it seems fairly simple. Great video for us beginners looking to get started 🤙🏾
Great video bud, What about a P320 that i built from the ground up. Is that allowed? Factory FCU, wilson combat grip module, factory or not brand slide.... Red dot, but no ports/comp, or magwell for reference.
You can have base pads on your production mags that are beefier. When they’re in the gun they have to fit in the IPSC gun box. Also, you can have 15 rounds in the mags. It has to be 15 in every mag at the time of the beep. So you can start a stage with 15+1 if it’s not an unloaded start****
Thank you for this information. I am still not sure what division should I be in. I am new to this and I have a 5” Prodigy with optic and magwell and a modified trigger. What division should I put in if I conpete on steel challenge? Thank you.
I run my M&P 2.0 with an Apex, a streamlight, and a Carver customs magwell in limited optics and I'm doing okay against the 2011 guys. It just goes to show you it's the shooter not the gun when it comes down to it. A lot of people laugh at my M&P because they got a $4,000 staccato. But the apex trigger on the M&P is no joke. And the Carver customs magwell is no slouch either. Not being said I plan on running a 2011 at some point. Just because they're badass
this was a great video the only error i saw was about pcc ... you are allowed to use an sbr in pcc as long as it is a legal sbr and allowed in the state being used (just no braced guns)
Thanks for a clear and informative video! I'm interested in trying out competitive shooting for the first time, so I'm in the info gathering stage. This video has gone a long way to answering questions I didn't even know to ask. Looking forward to future content.
Thanks for another great video. Super helpful. This maybe a dumb question- I tried to look it up and can't really find the answer. I've been practicing with a Canik Rival that i'm planning on taking to competitions, using Blazer Brass 9mm 115-grain FMJ. Will this ammo suffice to take to competition or will I have to start using a higher grain like 147 grain, etc? I don't see any velocity info on the box. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Are the battle belt lites you guys running 1.75 inch? No issues attaching “gamer” hangers? I’m looking for a different mounting option other than safariland (Thinking boss hanger)
I (Justin) ran the Battle Belt Lite for awhile and it is 1.75 and it doesn’t play super nice with the gamer hangers, but it can still use a boss hanger on it you just have to put it on somewhat cleverly
On the brown belt with Henning hanger.. is that a blade tech connection? I have an m&p as well I compete with I like that brown holster.. which armament option is it?
Not sure exactly what you’re asking. It’s a Hammer Armament “Baldur” on the Henning T-1000 hanger. The mag pouches are Hammer Armament as well, and attached via TekLok.
Can you help me with a beginner belt set up of possibly just shooting from AIWB , I’m just going to start my first competition and I don’t want to buy a lot of stuff if I can use the gear I have at home, I don’t have an OWB holster for my pistol at this time Thanks
One last question, If I have a 2011 and red dot but has a light with those tactical development pro ledge will that put that gun in open division instead on limited optics?
It is a good video. As it happens, I am 61, not 21, so I do not have a red dot optic on any of my firearms. No plans to do so. Not going to buy another expensive holster to accomodate it. When I go to observe a match, I see virtually no one shooting production in USPSA or stock service pistol in IDPA. It is carry optics, pistol caliber carbines, and unaffordable "John Wick" guns. A real turn-off. If you can enjoy it, drive on. The friendliness and equity of this disappeared a long time back.
@@brennanbrennecke3323 I had a feeling. quick question since you replied so quick. Have you tried Black Scorpion Belts/holsters? Seems decently priced. I have a Staccato P and was looking to get a belt going. Do you have any recommendations that you sway towards?
Yeah tons of people in class with them. Tbh I’m not impressed at all. See folks messing around with them a lot. They probably work fine but I’d go with a more trusted name. Look at Howitzer or CR Speed or double alpha academy or shooters connection for dedicated comp belts. For more versatile belts I’m going blue alpha all the way. Holsters we both run the Hammer Armament Baldur holster. Justin runs Trex arms Mars mag carriers and I run the ones from hammer.
@@GatewayDefense Hey thanks man, definitely helpful. Their customer service was kind of rude when I was attempting to ask some basic questions about light compatibility so I will definitely check out some of those. Do you have a code with any of these brands I can use just to send some love back your way for the help?
