L-10 division

[Scott Hearn]

Feegee, if you are like me and need to work on your shooting fundamentals more than anything else Limited is where you need to be. Breaking down a stage and developing a plan is much easier in limited. I shot my 9 Pro in limited minor for a good while just to get used to the game and to focus more on my shooting rather than my gaming.

If you are a good shooter and enjoy the competition production is where it's at. It took me awhile to figure out why a good number of master and even grand master shooters play in production. I really didn't understand why they wouldn't want to have all the go fast goodies they could get their hands on. It's because they are shooting against a bigger number of competitors. When they win their division at a match it means that they actually did something that day. Also doing well with a basically "out of the box gun" means your skills are sharp and it's a good way to keep them that way.

I'm pretty accurate with an auto, just slow. I've recently dove into revolver and it's a whole different world. Much more difficult. If I ever get somewhat proficient with the revo, I ought to be able to do some damage in Limited.

Why not Single Stack?

I think its a regional/ range thing. The Ponca range gets several L10 entry's.

I copied this from Brian Enos Forum:

Limited 10 has always been popular in my Section (Seattle area), usually outdrawing Production, and often outdrawing Open. We have had an interesting shift lately, where shooters known for shooting a specific division have suddenly changed, a handful of "Limited shooters" going Open, and a handful of "L10 shooters" going Limited, so the numbers have shifted a bit. Single Stack is being shot rarely, and single stack pistols are very popular in the northwest; Limited 10 in this area is a single stack division.

That kinda sucks I have dumped some pretty good money into that 45. I sure wish I knew what I know now when I was buying that gun, ammo is higher than any other to lol. Guess I will save my money and get a xdm 5.25.

Nothing at all wrong with the gun. Its just not the perfect choice for a USPSA competition gun...but it'll still do.
It would be a great gun in IDPA/CDP.

What would be a good affordable gun?

 

[Scott Hearn]

For which? Production or Limited?

Production = M&P, 9L or Pro. Or Glock 17 or 34.

Limited = M&P 40 or 40 Pro. Or Glock 22 or 35.

All depends on your budget. Go long slide if you can but the standard works too.

If you're a fan of the XDM platform, there's choices in 9mm and .40 there too.

I started with a G17, and still shoot it. I'd rather have a G34/35 or M&P9/40 Pro, but then I'd have to start from scratch with the modifications. You can get a used Glock at a very low price, and then fix it up. That said, I'd rather have gone the M&P route, because the ergonomics are better and the stock trigger is better. The main reason I stayed with the G17 is that it already had a stippled frame in a non-black color. I'd also rather have started with .40 S&W for my cartridge, not because of the power factor issue looming in the future, but I prefer shooting .40 S&W. The cycling is quick.

Feegee, what we need to do is get your hands on several pistols and let you shoot them, no STI's or you'll be screwed. I vote for the 40SW not because I have one and a loader it's just a good all around caliber, you get major PF and can have 20 in a mag if you wish. Later,

I will be at your house Tuesday after work and molest your 40cal

 

[Ksmirk]

Good thing about a Glock is if it gets dirty you just throw it in the dishwasher LOL shoot it, molest it, drop it in the mud, shove it in a barrel full of water, it doesn't matter. Thing about the Glocks is stuff is cheap compaired to the other's anyway.

I'll PM you the addy and I should be there by 5:00pm, I'm sure we can get you wanting to spend your money on something LOL Later,
