Carrygun Match at Heartland Feb 20th !

[Burk Cornelius]

I think I am going to pick up one of those slim littel Taurus .380's with my match gift certificates that I won. I would love to try a side match with the .380's sometime.

Have you shot the Ruger LCP? Try one of them before you buy the Taurus.

OR

Reddog has the Kel-Tec P3AT $260 out the door. I have never shot one, several of my friends swear by them. Two LEO friends carry them as their BUG

Back to the topic at hand:

I have a question about one of the divisions.

PDLL = Ported (like the Glock "C" models) Dot (like the Optima red dot) Lasers and gun-mounted Lights.

Why are ported guns categorized with dots, lasers and lights?

They are cheater guns. The ports reduce recoil, the dots and lasers are easy to shoot.

Does porting REALLY reduce recoil that much? I has a G23c and really didn't notice that much difference ??

I carried Mike's hand me down LCP for about a year. Great gun!!! I just figured the Taurus is cheaper and the trigger actually felt better.

The Keltec is a copy of the LCP. Oh wait its the other way around isn't it.

BACK ON TOPIC...

Porting is supposed to help. I think with the little guns it can only do so much.

Ben I have several Glocks, several holsters, and several mag pouches if it would be easier for o e of you to shoot my gun you are welcome to it.

[jtischauser]

sorry a guy and his wife, but the thunder girls do work out at the gym i go to if you want to ask if they would like to go shooting at the heartland match..

 

[jtischauser]

If y get the Thunder girls to shoot I'll buy ammo and match fees for you and them

Porting exists on guns other than the Glock "C" models.

That said, my 22-C kicks like a 9mm.

My Springfield V-10 kicks like a light .40

The V-10 is a viable carrygun, but holding 6+1, it's not the most competitive in the "Open" division of USPSA

Would it be to much of a safety issue to have a stage with a handheld light? Maybe a portion of a stage?

Dark stages are kinda cool the first time. but the extra time it takes to turn on/off the lights makes them a pain in the ass. I would be happy if I never shot one ever again.

 

[Burk Cornelius]

Come on throw an old guy a bone! I've never used my light when shooting.

 

[Wall]

FYI
If you do, use jacketed bullets.

Sorry, I should've explained.
Lead cast bullets that most of use for match shooting make alot of smoke. Trying to look thru that smoke with a light is pretty much useless. The jacketed bullets don't smoke near as bad. I found out the hard way. Of course we didn't have any warning that we'd be shooting a dark stage, so nobody would've been able to prepare for it anyway. I keep some jacketed ammo in my bag now just in case.

 

[David E]

Dark stages are cool, but they are a pain to run. They are slow and sometimes confuse people. The last dark stage we had, a shooter shot UNDER the tarps at the target he could see from the previous position. Obviously, his shot didn't hit the backstop.

I ran him again and THAT time he did the stage backwards, even tho he'd just done it correctly (except for that cross-range shot thing.)

Turning the lights out can be very disorienting for some. It also makes it difficult to monitor the shooter for safety issues.

I will have a dimlight stage coming up, but as for a completely dark stage, probably not in the near future.

 

[Burk Cornelius]

Dimlight is cool. Flashlights?
