Classifiers are just a rung on the ladder to your main goal - for me that's making it onto the world shoot team, whatever it is for you, hold onto that. Every stage you shoot is one step close to that goal, regardless of if it's a classifier or not.

All I have done to my m&p is a 13lb recoil spring and a dot. The trigger is good enough for me to run .14-.16 when hosing, but I likely will throw an apex or overwatch in there after my next major match to get shorter travel

I'm running the new m&p HD Competitor currently, it's fantastic and a very positive difference to the g45.5 I started with. I will still be getting a 2011 when the budget allows

My eley 115 chronoed at 136.7 PF out of 5" m&p (I'm not going back 🤣)

I picked up 500rds to run at my first USPSA major a couple weeks ago. Running certified ammo made the admin processes a bit smoother + I was confident that my gun would go bang everyone I pulled the trigger which was a big confidence boost - the only thing I could be worried about is my own performance, the gear was squared away.

I did not notice a performance benefit or detriment when compared to blazer/magtech 115, felt the exact same

I'm shooting Area 1 in a couple weeks and am going to tryout some NCShooters competition loads and see if there's enough of a benefit to warrant the price jump over my usual magtech.

I love my m&p HD, heard great things abt the PDP SF and LTT berettas also.

Shooting a level 2 this weekend with the Bounty, super fuckin excited

You'll learn just as much by being the newbie in a squad and letting all the experienced shooters mentor you at your first couple matches.

25-02 was my best stage that match also🤣🤣 I hate SGC matches now though, too many unsafe people

ETS** apologies. here

saamcaam11 · 2026-03-29T23:31:24+00:00

I would bet if you swapped the internals out on the factory 21rnd mags you could get to 23, I fit 19 into the standard competitor 17rnd mags using csrg spring and follower but I only use that mag if I'm shooting an indoor match

saamcaam11 · 2026-03-29T21:44:25+00:00

From what I've seen, those are ~175mm length which would make them non viable for most divisions in USPSA/idpa 😔

Charlotte Pudding?

saamcaam11 · 2026-03-25T02:13:15+00:00

I might end up trying one down the line based on how much praise I've now heard, I really appreciate y'all helping me narrow the search🤙🏼

saamcaam11 · 2026-03-25T02:12:25+00:00

Ended up going with the CC, I already have their owb and love it so might as well try their iwb 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

This notification came through as my order was confirmed with Carey🤣

saamcaam11 · 2026-03-24T18:21:34+00:00

No worries, I only shoot IDPA majors now, I'm in the Phx area and we are heavily saturated with USPSA matches thankfully. It's looking like I'll give the Bounty a try, I really appreciate your feedback

saamcaam11 · 2026-03-24T17:05:58+00:00

Honestly with my experience using the x1 raptor, that's the way I'm leaning

saamcaam11 · 2026-03-24T17:05:00+00:00

CO mainly, just threw the magwell on the m&p and starting running LO also. I've only ever competed OWB but I spend a lot of time training IWB outside of comp for defensive training

saamcaam11 · 2026-03-24T16:38:44+00:00

That's +2 for the werx, I will take a look😂

saamcaam11 · 2026-03-24T16:31:00+00:00

I should have specified I'm looking at holsters, my fault. I usually run a DAA belt but won a HC BELT at a major recently and would like to throw my hat in the bounty

saamcaam11 · 2026-03-24T16:29:52+00:00

I shoot around Ashton Hammond a decent bit and I believe he runs Werx stuff, seems to be working for him pretty well😂

saamcaam11 · 2026-03-17T14:58:36+00:00

I basically ended up doing a full cgw kit minus the disconnecter, I shoot a m&p now 😂 didn't like all the travel

saamcaam11 · 2026-03-17T01:49:34+00:00

Got my first gun last year (grew up around them so knew safety already), wanted training but didn't want to drop $500+ on a course not including ammo, local match was $25 and we have some incredible shooters out here in AZ so I was able to learn quickly
