Silly gun demands a silly hat

I’ve been building an open-source dry fire script for the community and wanted to share it here for feedback.

Trainer

The basic idea is pretty simple: cast it or run it on your TV, set up drills, and train with just your gun and some targets. No ads, no props, no gimmicks. Just a few feet of open space and something to aim at. I’ve found it especially useful for people who don’t have a basement, garage, or yard to dry fire in.

It’s widely configurable and supports a few different modes. Right now I have USPSA, IPSC, and ICORE targets you can arrange around the screen for drills, plus a few par timer options. One preset I’ve been using a lot is the “raining targets” mode with a 30-second par time for grip endurance and transition practice: make the targets smaller, fall faster, or spawn faster for more difficulty.

There’s also a calibration option so you can see what targets look like at different distances, like 5 yards or 20 yards, through your sights.

It can simulate an activated swinger with different levels of hard cover too, which I’ve found useful for visualization, especially if you only see those in competition.

Once you build drills you like, you can save them and bind them to hotkeys so switching between freestyle, strong hand, weak hand, wide/narrow transitions etc. is quick.

Everything is stored locally in your browser, and you can export/import presets to move them between devices or share them.

I’d appreciate any feedback, feature ideas, or criticism. I’m especially interested in what targets or drill types people would want next.

Planned upgrades: more common steel targets, bobbers, and better guardrails so the browser can’t be crashed. To keep this free and simple, I probably won't be able to integrate any feedback, so you'll have to be honest with your sight pictures and trigger pulls.

TLDR: If you dry-fire, try this and let me know what you think.

Curious what you guys are using and why

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.

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.

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

Thanks in advance!

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?

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Excuse the lax pace for the most part, this was the last stage of the day, we got like a 5 minute break in the rain so ABSOLUTELY drenched, and we were all starving😂 Also just have to remember speed is the name of the game regardless of hit factor. My SRO turned into a teacup from the rain and made it pretty hard to see the reticle but still had a decent performance imo. Learned a bunch and will be back at the next match I find local to me for sure.

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.

Second match of any kind. I don't think IDPA is for me. I had a great time and everyone there was wonderful, I just don't care for the ruleset. Still made for an excellent learning experience and got my feet wet. Placed 18/31 in my division despite my 18 PE penalties. Proud of my performance as far as time and hits are concerned, I just should've studied up and practiced the rules for Carry Optics more.
