Recommended Posts

It was nice to meet you guys yesterday. Now lets get ready and practice more for Oct. 2.

 

Marlon, why wait till next month.

 

Central Jersey next Sunday, Old Bridge the week after.

Practice? That is what the 1st stage is for.

I would need a whole lot more practice before I join. I don't wanna embarrass myself after seeing Ray shoot at BH and Maks in that video.

 

Nah! The important part is look cool while you shoot. The spectators can't see the holes (or lack there of) in the targets. Come to the USPSA Introduction Class and you will be good to go.

Wow that looks like a lot of fun. What do you need to get started in this? besides a pitol :D . Is there a requirement for caliber, mag capacity? What type of holster and mag holders? Thnaks for the help.

 

 

Pistol with 4 mags (at least), at least 9mm. almost any holster will work, and mag holders are a plus.

 

But most of all, just come out, major fun.

Thanks Maks, I will definitely have to come out and try that. how many rounds do you go through in a match? Do you have any holster recommendations, I would need to buy one for my Sig, or 1911.

 

I used a Blackhawk Serpa holster which was pretty good for a 1911.

 

The courses are typically 100 to 200 rounds, depending on who is hosting the event. Shongum was 100 rounds, and I went through 110, between the safety orientation and lost ejected rounds. Typically you would want to bring 150 to 250 rounds, depending if the course of fire is 100 or 200 rounds.

that was awsome, the helmet cam reminds me of doom..

 

I have to get out and do this before the end of the season.. maybe the one in two weeks if we do not race in atlantic city...

season never ends. you can shoot up to 4 matches a month and more all year round. weather permitting of course.

Blade tech makes top quality products, but there is a wait for them to make the holster and mag pouches. Uncle mikes is also of good quality, lesser expensive and readily available.

This sounds like a lot of fun. How long are the matches? How many rounds do you go through? Reloads allowed or factory ammo only?

 

 

4pmish.... they end. Look above. depending on where, either 100 round, or 200 round course of fire. most people that I saw there were using reloads. commercial is allowed.

Okay so I just ordered a blackhawk holster and double mag holder. Only problem is I can't make Sunday at CJ. I will make the next one. Oh and now I have to start reloading pistol ammo (.40). Guess I need to call Vinny at hunting world and order some dies, etc. My wife is going to love this :lol:

Thanks for the cool videos, LOL.

Well I'd prefer to use reloads, cause of expense and making a lighter load for quicker response, but hey....

 

 

When is the next one.

 

I'm sure you'll start shooting in production, but if you move to other classes, your loads have to reach a certain power factor to qualify for major.
