looked 100% full when I checked the other day, maybe someone did or will cancel.

They posted on Friday that if you came and helped set up the bays for the match they'd give you a slot and a free match. So I got up this morning and headed to Quantico to participate in the set up, so now I get to shoot there tomorrow

good deal, most of the ranges offer some sort of concession to shooters that come out to help set up/tear down. good luck.

Well, that was interesting. I shot this with my CZ-75B, which I haven't used in 3 years. I placed 21 out of 23 in the Production Division with a match percentage of 18.489%. I have no idea how this actually works. Everything else I've shot is time-plus. Not bad as a warmup for next week, assuming I can get a slot at Peacemaker for the 3-gun match. I'll have my Para ready for that.

uspsa is basically your target points divided by your time on that stage (so points per second). the best shooter gets 100% of the target points for that stage and everyone else gets a % of that based on their points/second (hit factor) as a percentage of the best shooter. then the points for each stage are added up and also shown as a % of the winner. because your time is in the denominator, time is very important but of course accuracy matters also.

registration is and has been open for peacemaker's 3 gun next weekend, have at it.

No tengo dinero, Senor. I get paid Wednesday, so I can do it then.

ah, I understand. check out www.northmountainps.com or gravitastactical.com - they're doing a uspsa match this weekend and have free slots for a handful of folks that help set up.

So I'm looking at this http://www.midwayusa.com/product/13...e-p-16-drop-offset-kydex?cm_vc=ProductFinding and this http://www.comp-tac.com/competition-holsters/international-holster-10241 . Will a standard 1911 mag work with my double-stack Para? I had to modify my Blackhawk! Serpa 1911 mag to work with my Para, but the Blade-Tech seems to be made expressly for my gun.

I emailed them, waiting on a response. I wish someone had them in stock, but it looks like the earliest I'd get one if I ordered today is the end of May :sad20:

Their response:

"Good Morning,

I really don’t make anything in the international that will work for that pistol. You might try a holster for the STI Edge. But I have no way of guaranteeing that.

Thank you,

David Wisby"

Looks like I'll have to go with Blade-Tech. I picked up another Serpa for my Para and modded the holster some to make it work. I'll have to order the Blade-Tech next month.

Comptec is limited on holster. Good product If you have the gun they sell holster for. Lol

Blade tech has more selection as far as gun models.

In case anyone was wondering, I shot this past weekend at Quantico. Again, volunteered setup and got to shoot for free. I ordered and received a competition belt from Midway and got it the Saturday before the match. The Serpa worked fine, but I should really get mag holders specifically for this belt. The Blackhawk! mag holders didn't have a big enough gap to really grip the belt. Looks like another order to Midway is in order.

davsco · May 14, 2015

you really don't want/need a serpa for uspsa as it slows your draw time a little. for 2/3 gun where you need retention, sure. I haven't shopped around much, but blade tech mag holders with teklok work great for me, they have spacers you can add/remove depending on belt width. and zero complaints with bladetech doh with asr belt loop for handguns.

also check out brianenos.com. some guy was just asking about best belt/holster/pouches for uspsa so lots of advice there.

I had to use what was available. I'm waiting on my Bladetech, which is will get here at the end of next month.

What divisions are you planning to shoot? From your posts, sounds like SS, Production, and limited. I like to stick with one at a time. Stage execution and planning is very different especially between limited and SS.

For SS I just use a Blade Tech with the standard belt attachment. Keeps the front grip strap above the belt line and holds the gun close enough.

Production I use a blade tech body with Stoeger BOSS hanger. The standard blade tech DOH cants the grip outboard a fair amount actually placed the gun more than 2" from my pants line at the grip.

Ghost Stinger is the smoothest draw I have tried for a production legal holster.

I'm shooting Limited Major in USPSA pistol only. I'm shooting Limited in Steel Challenge and Tactical Optics in 3-Gun with a different pistol.

To do really good in USPSA you need to use the Peter Hoyle shooting formula.

And by that I mean if you can get around 80-90% of the max points shooting as fast as you can humanly do it you will easily beat anyone who tries to get every single point. And I mean if every target has one A and one C hit you are doing it correctly because if you take time to get 2 A hits your time divider will almost always be worse than the guy who goes really fast and only worries about getting the first hit as an A. There is a fine training regimen to tune this to get the max out of it. This an an addendum to the gaming aspects of USPSA/IPSC. This can get you a high B low A ranking really fast if you have any skills at all. Still as you rise up in ranking the guys in the M/GM categories can usually shoot really fast and still get 95% of the possible points. So at that point you need to get more speed and accuracy.
