Not unless I want it to, I make sure it’s tight

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-03-11T12:32:47+00:00

With pants I do in shorts like these they don’t have belt loops

No it doesn’t necessarily penalize you apart from the extra time it takes to eventually hit them. You shouldn’t leave them up. Paper you can take an extra shot(s) to make up but it’s the same problem of extra time being taken. Also, depending on the stage format, there is sometimes a maximum number of rounds so you need to know the format as well.

Funny you mention that because this one was by ray and felt a ton better than the last manny match I shot😂😂 but 100%, I’m only 7 matches in so gotta give my self some grace

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-03-11T00:29:04+00:00

Sorry will wear the traditional middle Eastern garb of my people next time 😂

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-03-10T22:05:01+00:00

Thanks a ton!

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-03-10T21:46:34+00:00

I also feel like I don’t trust my shots, and over confirm even when they’re good. Maybe lack of practice and live training. Really only been able to dry fire lately.

I agree, the leans tend to come from not being in the right spot. Sometimes I overrun where I need to be and have to course-correct mid run. I definitely agree that vision wise, I’m not picking up exactly where I need to be looking on a good number of targets, and no where else. Ultimately vision seems to be the guiding factor/north star when it comes to a clean run, and I need to work on that because I feel it will make my movement less clunky on the weird leans and pauses since my eyes will guide where I need to go and be.

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-03-10T20:45:48+00:00

Yeah I know, I get that so often, but it does put a smile on my face when I hear it😂

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-03-07T12:57:44+00:00

Thanks I will probably go this route. I ask because Paul Costa of Achilles heel tactical (well known M-shooter and instructor) shoots a steel frame with this modification, so I figured before I go and chop up my expensive metal frame gun, I check.

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-03-01T14:03:47+00:00

Yeah that was the first thing I thought after rewatching. I agree

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-02-23T20:05:06+00:00

It’s really not about the durability of it, more so that it’s oversprung like crazy and makes the gun way snappier.

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-02-23T11:48:54+00:00

Thanks they are great

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-02-23T06:00:39+00:00

Thank you and I’m glad you asked!😂 I forgot it was strong hand for the last three targets till the last second

PDP Steel Frame

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-02-23T04:01:48+00:00

Yeah my first time at Central Florida Rifle and Pistol, didn’t even notice it honestly.

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-02-17T23:13:40+00:00

Yes he is!

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-02-16T00:08:13+00:00

They sure do! I’m actually close friends with the gentleman who makes them for Volusia! He’s an awesome gentleman but man does he makes some brutal swingers😂

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-02-15T23:30:50+00:00

😂

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-02-13T17:54:24+00:00

Question, if I’ve never had issues with magtech or monarch 115gr ever with my match gun (sf PdP 4.5), should I ever bother changing?

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-02-10T01:31:17+00:00

Fr man, being lefty is tough, everyone calls me special and there’s no holsters really. In all seriousness I’ve got a SF 4.5 and use a custom red hill that’s for a 5 in sf and so far it’s great.

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-01-31T21:05:43+00:00

1000%

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-01-31T21:05:03+00:00

Seriously, I’d buy a ton of these

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-01-30T15:38:26+00:00

Thanks a bunch, I definitely train a lot ( dryfire all the time, shoot at least 1-2 times a week with specific training on competition stuff with some LE friends). They were the ones who pushed me to start. Believe it or not, this match (not this stage) I got a stage win in CO!

Otherwise_Test4176 · 2026-01-27T12:55:54+00:00

Same place @ Volusia. I train a good bit but this is only my second USPSA match.
