I been shooting competitions for the past few months and always shot suppressed, I just put a descent brake on my 14.5 and I’m thinking of running it no suppressor to make getting in/out of positions ect a little easier. What do all you fine people do?

I’ve recently begun to get interested in competition shooting, specifically 25m rapid fire has seemed to pique my interest after seeing some clips from the Olympics. Looking around online I’ve struggled with finding resources and places to get into this discipline as it seems to be a pretty niche field. Specifically where can I go to try it out/train/ rent guns. Thanks for any tips! (Also I’m in Los Angeles btw)

I wanna buy some grips for Taurus models.

I can't find websites that sell grips and ship to Brazil.

I'm looking for grips for the PT 92 AF-SD, RT 82s, and RT 627 models.

When you buy them, which sites do you prefer?

My father had an RT 82s—manufactured between the late 80s and early 90s—with that specific grip; I’m still looking for one to this day. (related from https://www.reddit.com/r/Revolvers/comments/1duv5h6/taurus_82_for_wgw/ )

RT 82 related.

This was my first time ever shooting a revolver (Taurus 856 ultralite) in competition at a local IDPA match. I normally shoot USPSA with a full size Carry Optics gun, so a 16 oz, 6 round .38 snubby with speed loaders was a big adjustment. I felt like a complete beginner again but had an absolute blast.

The reloads were ROUGH with the HKS loaders so better speed loaders and speed loader pouches are getting purchased soon. I’ll keep running this gun for a while, but if I get more into IDPA revolver, I’ll probably get a heavier 6 shot .38 that uses the same size speed loaders - so either a S&W K frame or a Taurus 82 or 65.

There’s no chance this replaces my USPSA for me or that I start shooting revolver in USPSA, but it was definitely fun. I get the appeal and how it’s challenging and fun in a different way than shooting the more popular divisions - it reminds me of shooting Single Stack in USPSA.

Not the freshest video

Something a bit different. I run my Taurus 692 EG at our concealed matches. Our rules allow small cap guns to do 1 hit counts as 2 (1A = 2a) which allows us to be very competitive.

I like watching guys online talk about their load outs, whether that's holster, firearm choice or belt set up, and recently saw a few guys mention they put a TQ on their belt and I got to thinking, maybe I should do that too... You never know.

Very windy and had a bad storm blow through this morning. But it sure looks nice now

I would like to pursue competitive pistol shooting as a hobby. Before having 3 young kids I used to shoot around 5k rds of centerfire ammo per year. I’m sure those are JV numbers on this sub. Anyway, there seem to be so many leagues. USPSA, IPSC, IDPA and all their subdivisions. I’m just looking for advice on where to get started. More interested in defensive pistols and gear than race guns. Just picked up a Staccato C4X. With a factory comp, red dot, +\- a light what league would that be a good fit for?

Exactly the title. What are the best Glock mags or extensions that are legal for USPSA Open division?

Thanks in advance!

u/Deveat pointed out that there hasn't been much revolver here in a while, so here's some USPSA action with my ICORE/IDPA GP100 10mm.

This was last month's match; after a month of regular dry fire and practice I'm starting to feel a bit more like myself. (Not that this isn't a good run, I just have more in the tank when I'm tuned up.) One or two more practices to go; the ICORE International Revolver Championship is two weekends away. After that it's back to the USPSA 8-round guns for the rest of the year.

What's up,

I'm looking for some portable range gear- stuff to setup some stages without hauling a shit ton of gear. - uspsa or pcsl style

My range is always empty and I practice in basically a field with a few walls where you'd setup targets.
Right now I just throw my range bag down and some other reference item to run back and forth to for drills.

Looking to get something more adequate to setup mini stages but without bringing a truck load of stuff.

What target setups work for you that are compact and can be setup pretty easily in multiples, what might you use for "fencing", walls, shoot through, barrels etc that I could easily load in my hatchback and setup.

I know I could simply do what I'm doing but I'm looking to do some mini stages and work on stage planning and other similar things for USPSA and pcsl

Picture is what I'm working with.

Long story short, I've shot polymer guns in a Carey Concealment X1 Raptor for years. I've run into some issues of the gun sticking in the holster and messing up my draw... my fix was to remove the magnet retention. This has been 100% fine, but obviously the gun has no retention and I have to be careful when pasting targets, for example, that my gun doesn't fall out. Never been an issue.

However, I'm swapping to the PDP SF platform for the 2027 season and buying gear to start training with it. With the heavier gun I am not as willing to go with the X1 if I have to remove the retention. I've been looking at the Carnivore holster and I'm wondering if there's any issues with it with the PDP SF in particular. I've seen some posts with 2011 problems but overall seems to be positive. Just curious on any experiences with this holsters, and especially how it compares to the X1 Raptor if you also have that experience.

We all knew about the Holosun Promax but this new Promax Slim, i think Issac has let the cat out the bag maybe prematurely!

I am starting my reload journey with S&B primers. I wanted to know what the general consensus is on S&B primers with a 4.5 lb striker spring.

Anyone experience light primer strikes with this combo of primer/striker spring?

I'd rather not load 1k rounds just to test, but I may have to.

Any tips or drills to practice so I can be better prepared for my next match? I had a FTSA in a couple different stages also. I’d walk the stage before but would end up forgetting them in the moment.

Looking to get into limited optics with my Glock 17 gen 4 and am looking to add a brass plug to the grip for extra weight. What are the best options to do this is an older SLR magwell? I've heard about milling down regular brass plugs, but how you would prevent it from rattling? I have also heard of the option of using tungsten putty/balls in place of a plug. I am not opposed to replacing the magwell, but the next one just needs to fit taran tactical magazine extensions.
