    I don't know what happened on stage 7, but I need someplace where I can order six cases of that. :rockwoot:

    My live fire Sunday was over 1/2 carry gun. I guess i need to bump that up to 3/4 next time.

    4 out of 7 were acceptable. I had 3 stages with reload issues. I had to pick palm skin out of the Magwell after stage 7 ;)

    Reloads from concealment suck.
    It's gets better with practice but it still sucks.
    When the practice falls off the original levels of suckage return.
    Finding the dot one handed is still a Challenge
    It shouldn't be.
    No deltas that may be a first.
    I need a bazooka on the truck or a bulldozer to make the afternoon traffic a little more bearable

    Anyone that carries firearm should be trying to get to some of these events.
    It's great practice and shows you which skills need the most work so practice can be tailored.
    You need to think a little bit while you're shooting,it's not just punching holes in paper.
    It's a good time.

    I agree. I actually shoot my carry gun now instead of keeping it holstered :popcorn:

    All of my reloads felt like an epileptic with cerebral palsy and parkinson's was controlling my hands. I used to have decent reloads when I shot a single stack 1911 all the time. Having a gun that holds 18+1 or 20+1 has limited the number of reloads I've had to do in USPSA matches (which until these matches came along were my practice). Now that we have to reload after 6 shots, it's a different world.

    As I stated earlier
    Reloads from concealment suck
    They can get better with practice but they still suck.
    When the practice falls off the original levels of suckage return rapidly.
    I will qualify this by saying that anyone that is practicing at all is miles ahead of someone that isn't.
