      Powdercoated bullet sources in 2019?

      The Blue Bullets is the company I use. Honestly I haven't tried any of the other but I haven't really seen a need too. Last I saw they were the most used bullets at USPSA nationals, if some of the best handgun shooters in the U.S. use them, they're good enough for me.

      How do you dryfire?

      How long did it take to work up to that? I usually do 15-20 minutes and my shoulders and hands get tense. Shooting may be a perishable skill but those splits must not be, I still show off the video of you shooting a 5 reload 5 from your intro to USPSA class.

      How long did it take you be "good"?

      My point of view is a little different. I'm in college, I work a boring job, I don't like staying up till 3 am to close down a bar. I enjoyed being competitive in high school sports(I wasn't good but I enjoyed trying to make myself better and the comradery) . I started this sport wanting to get...

      How long did it take you be "good"?

      I think you absolutely could become a better shooter without going to a match. The problem is most people aren’t going to put in the work. Competitive shooters don’t have any real secret sauce but, they put in the work. Before competition I kinda knew what dry fire was but it wasn’t until I...

      How long did it take you be "good"?

      We shot together last weekend and watching you shoot I thought you were "good". You are definitely a more accurate shooter than I am. Adjusted for power factor we actually went back and forth all day. I think we suffer from different problems. Going off coach's thought you are getting to that B...

      How long did it take you be "good"?

      Just to clarify I added in the part about how many shooters where their to try and show it was sarcasm. I know I wasn’t the best shooter on the range that day. Fuzz, your actually someone I’m trying to chase. I saw you shoot at one of my first matches and I thought you were a great shooter...

      How long did it take you be "good"?

      Not to sound all high and mighty but i did get high over all at the last uspsa at acc ( no one needs to know that only 24 of the usual 100 showed up). I’m not expecting to win. I still see the huge skill gap that is going to take lots of dedication before I ever get close. It’s more a personal...

      How long did it take you be "good"?

      I've been shooting IDPA and USPSA for a while now and I'm leaps and bounds better than I was five months ago. I still look at my competition locally and feel like I'm not "good". I say "good" because I don't know how you define it. How do you personally define good? What happened in your...

      Glock malfunctions during fight

      Anyone that says "brand name here" doesn't jam, doesn't shoot enough to have a valid opinion.

      How do you dryfire?

      RVB as one of our residential GM's, what was your dry fire like when you were on your way up?

      9mm compact recommendations

      I really like the new larger sig 365. With that being said I’m going to buy an m&p 2.0 compact. 15 rounds, very smooth, I can get a full grip on it, much easier to reload than something like the 365 because my hand doesn't protrude as much past the bottom of the grip, safety or no safety models...

      How do you dryfire?

      I’m still new to the sport so take what I say with a grain of salt. I try to dry fire 5 days a week for 15 minutes. This has made huge gains in my shooting. I’ve been MIA from dry fire for about a week now and I can tell my reloads are very sloppy and my index is awful. You get what you put...

      Lawrence shooting: self defense?

      I think the lead up to the shooting is going to be important. Did the shooter try to verbally deescalate? Did he try to retreat? If I’m trying to deescalate and someone is still closing in on me and I can no longer retreat, I would seriously consider using my firearm as well. It’s not going to...

      When can you start classifying someone as a threat?

      Scenario: It’s around 11pm on the outskirts of Indy at a sparsely populated gas station. A women sees a man approaching as she is pumping gas. She doesn’t feel that she can make it into the car before the man would get to her. She engages verbally and says she doesn’t have any money. The man...

      What is UP with South Central Gun Club Matches??????

      Try to bring new shooters into the sport. I’ve been competing for about 6 months and I wish I would have done it years ago. It will increase the amount of set up/ stage design help, bring in more money, and bring in new ideas. Go to all the gun stores within half an hour of the range and ask...

      USPSA gear help - fat guy

      You can use that iwb holster for your first match, just go into it knowing you need to be slow and safe on the draw. If you can avoid it don't buy anything before your first match. Lots of people buy all the gear then quit early on. Go to your first match, if you like it then invest in solid...

      USPSA @ ACC JULY 27, 28 MONSTER MATCH

      What will be the max round count for a stage? It sounds like I might have to reload mags mid stage. :laugh:

      Magnum Research 1911

      I was at 9 guns in Anderson and they had some reasonably priced magnum research 1911's. I found some mixed reviews on them and was wondering if anyone has a person experience with one. I'm currently leaning towards the 9mm five inch model.

      DQ on my first stage! (What the sport is like for a new shooter)

      My first USPSA match I managed to get DQ'ed before my first magazine change. I had spent so much time dry firing, reading, and cranking out ammo on my turret press that it was heartbreaking. I put way too much pressure on myself. I was so focused on not forgetting a target, where I was...

      What's your training routine like?

      Pretty simple. I'm still new to the shooting sports and was wondering what the normal practice schedule of someone who wants to be competitive is. I'm not going to be winning any nations, my goal is to be competitive on a club level. What's your normal monthly round count? How many matches...
