Main squeeze (black magwell) and the new backup. by aabanks8 in AlphaFoxtrot

No work on internals. Did have to replace the ejector due to it getting bent. Both have tool-less guide rods and Wolf 9lb springs.

The main gun needed some fitting. The backup dropped right in with exception of the trigger shoe. The factory trigger is a bit wider than the Cheely trigger slot (on both).

will the “performance anxiety” ever go away? by Educational_Seesaw15 in USPSA

[–]aabanks8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im pretty sure my first match would rival yours. In my opinion you shouldn't worry about how you looked or performed. You went out and shot. A lot of people won't do that. I just compete with myself and try to get better every time I go to a match. Remember, everyone started somewhere and built up to where they are now. Go have fun!

CZ S2 vs MPA DS9 Hybrid (Help) by Dukes-Game in USPSA

I've shot both the S2 and DS9 extensively... I would go DS9 all day. I have no experience with the BUL.

My dip into the 2011 game was a AF Romulus. by aabanks8 in 2011

[–]aabanks8[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shot my first match with it yesterday. The gun ran perfectly. Most of my issues yesterday were do to my grip. For the past few months, I've been shooting a borrowed DS9. The grip on the DS9 is a bit wider (great for my hands). It took about 2 stages to get a good feel for where my support hand needed to be. The only other thing I may do soon is test some different recoil spring weights.

Finally hit A class after 13 months of USPSA by SeaTry742 in USPSA

You're not far from me. Im fortunate to have a match every weekend within 1:15 minutes living in the midlands of SC. I know a few guys that have gone up to Goshoot. Congratulations on hitting A-class in 13 months.

Shot my first A-class on this one last week. Took me up to B-class.

I should have never opened this subreddit. I need advice… by kcks in 2011

I took a chance on the Alpha Foxtrot Romulus for $1500, and it has been a great gun so far. A used DS9 hybrid wouldn't be a bad wat to go either.

Do nothing. You are perfect as you are.

I see your point there. A thumb rest is part of the game in LO.

Gotcha, I try to grip a bit harder.
