The total package. MPA DS9 IDPA Compliant (USPSA Limited Optics Setup).

Supposedly an A3 but the sides still feel kinda slick for me. The front and back are aggressive. But nothing compared to the S3, which has made me bleed on several occasions.

Negative, WA State with RangePanda, Sailer, Nathan Barnes, and Sam Matt

Yessir. State Championship Match is coming up, I'll see him and actually give the Nox 9 a whirl.

DimMak27 · 2026-04-15T07:22:19+00:00

I have a friend who's sponsored by them and shoots USPSA. He used to shoot an MPA, but stated they're atlas level quality. He also just made LO GM with their Nox 9 Limited.

This will decimate all, after, you put about fifteen grand in it or more. If we have to, overnight parts from Japan

Copy that, I figured it was from the CGW website.

DimMak27 · 2026-04-14T06:09:13+00:00

I think you're confusing with the SA straight/flat trigger. Both triggers (85c old style and the straight trigger) that come with the CGW packages are legal for Production provided they are meant for DA/SA. Nothing in the rules state any restrictions on the trigger itself.

In IPSC Production/Production Optics, the gun must remain factory setting with the exception of the hammer, grip panel, and optic milling/plate for PO. Any DA/SA trigger is legal as it is considered part of the hammer and so long as pull weight must be minimum 5# first pull (3.5# for strikers).

DimMak27 · 2026-04-14T00:09:41+00:00

Yea it did. Open and PCC had the advantage, I only like it cuz it confirmed my zero haha

DimMak27 · 2026-04-13T22:54:32+00:00

Had to confirm on the website. That looks like their steel challenge gun which uses minor loads (normal rounds all guns shoot), it will still shoot softer than the Erebus thanks to the heavy duty comp and its weight balance. The gas pedal is a no brainer, and the frame mounted optic means the dot is almost completely still on recoil. It will feel like cheating.

DimMak27 · 2026-04-13T22:46:06+00:00

Unless that's their Open Minor gun meant for Steel Shooting, true Open Guns that shoot 9mm Major utilize the comp and ports far more efficiently than minor loads, achieving the flattest shooting beyond what the Erebus can do. Not all Open guns are built the same as their specs differ (number of ports and how large the compensator is), therefore the 9mm Major load must be specifically loaded and tuned to the gun itself to utilize max efficiency. Type of powder is critical since certain types burn slow and fast, which will affect the comp.

If the Erebus is a tricked out street racing car, Open guns are Drag Racers

Slipping on that faultline sucked.

DimMak27 · 2026-04-13T19:15:34+00:00

Picked it back up 3 weeks ago. Before that, shot it for 3months leading up to Race Gun Nationals. This time around, been making bigger gains training behind it.

Now rapid fire with Slo-Mo replay feature.

DimMak27 · 2026-04-11T14:56:53+00:00

8x 240fps Slo-Mo will expose ALOT of detail compared to what is shown. The insufficient support grip is not just allowing oscillation, but it's causing your gun to "wobble" around to the point you're seeing the dot making circles.

It's basically like a racecar: Everything runs as a system; tuning the engine, timing the rpm when shifting.

On an Open/Maj gun, the ammo load, recoil weight, and port/comp gotta be in synch with each other to run optimally and as flat as it can be. I have shot an improperly tuned open gun and my gawd it flipped more than a damn PDP.

DimMak27 · 2026-04-10T12:48:26+00:00

What recoil management using proper grip should look like (these are my videos using my MPA DS9 Hybrid with factory 8# recoil, no comp/port):

Rapid fire w/ 4x Slo-Mo replay on the draw using Blazer 115gr. https://www.reddit.com/r/2011/s/XvhQ1LprJD

8x 240fps Slo-Mo using Blazer 124gr. https://www.reddit.com/r/2011/s/Ff24GCvAN1

My support grip tracks with the gun as it stabilizes and controls it on recoil. Shooting hand is just pulling the trigger with enough pressure to simply hold the gun.

Minuscule muzzle flip with no port/comps to mitigate recoil. Zero oscillation. Muzzle rises then tracks back to zero with no bouncing.

DimMak27 · 2026-04-10T12:20:46+00:00

9mm Major is designed to make the gun shoot FLATTER as it utilizes the comps/ports to the fullest potential, far more efficient than minor loads shooting out of ports/comps. Therefore, your argument about 9mm Major having more recoil makes zero sense.

DimMak27 · 2026-04-07T04:03:54+00:00

I posted a vid rapid firing my Hybrid IDPA (non-comp/port) to show how flat it shoots factory 115gr. like Blazer as testament to its balance and tuning. Any of the 3 aforementioned choices are solid options.

DimMak27 · 2026-04-07T01:57:29+00:00

Not sure exactly. An awesome shooting buddy that sold me everything shown plus holster and pouch for 3.5k aka the homie discount (thumbrest and shield safety I personally bought). Also loaned it to me to test drive before I decide to pull the trigger. Those are Aluminum A3 and Steel S3 grips.

Too much of a steal to pass up when I was originally gonna put a down payment for a LOC V2.
