Keeping the thread alive...
Congrats my friend, sound like the Florida welcome you very well.
PCSL 2 Gun, Quantico Shooting Club
4 stage 2 Gun match with PCSL hit factor scoring. 10 March
youtu.be
First PCSL match. Pretty standard 2 gun match with “funny targets”
Hit factor scoring made for good uspsa practice.
I recently added a timney trigger and Dawson sights to my Glock 35 and used a 9mm conversion barrel, no power factor considerations at this match. Upgrades to the pistol will pay off, trigger is good and the sights are easy to pick up and offer a finer sight picture.
I tried to push the speed envelope as much as possible and had a few good moments
I also noticed my new sights print a bit high so some pistol steel kept me humble as it often does

Nice, man! I like the pcsl format.
The last big pcsl match I did was "hard as hell" and they had the red dot guys in the same division as lpvo.
As a red dot guy... I wasn't nearly as competitive as I usually manage. The 500 yard targets were challenging. Doable, I'm proud to say, but you get the idea

Dots can be a real challenge - the long range stage here was only 200 yds, but finding the target against the background was a struggle for some. A bit of magnification helps so much

I was the first shooter on the first stage of the day and during walkthrough, I picked out my targets and the land marks to find them.
The sun came up just before the buzzer went off. The light on the landscape completely changed the colors and shadows. I lost all my landmarks. Really set me back
This weekend it was cloudy and grey, we were the 3rd squad through. The range is used for I know distance shoots and has targets out to about 750yds, lots of little white specs down range and lots of grey trees mixed in

It's been a while since I ran a camera at a match, because the one I have adds some bulk to my earpro. I need to get it back out for this summer and get some new video. The Generation 3 Gun match in Missouri is always a superb event.

Pertaining to gear:
Most shooters put all their gear on the belt. A few years back, I bought a DeTurk vest from Invictus Practical because it seemed to me to be the best way to add a large number of shotgun shells without tying up a big portion of belt real estate. It came with a simple chest band, which I wasn't really thrilled with because it could slip down during movement if the band wasn't really tight. So I bought a simple light chest rig from 5.11, and used ALICE clips to secure the Deturk vest to the chest rig. I came to discover that it had some additional benefits that I didn't anticipate when I bought it. If the stage designers put you in a vehicle, it is much easier to load pistol or rifle mags from a chest rig as opposed to a belt. I can go prone with shotgun shells on my chest, and not lose them, whereas shotgun shells on your belt are prone to being dislodged if you prone out. If a stage incorporates a lot of running, having the weight of mags and ammo on your chest instead of your hips, prevents the weight from being detrimental to running. Your hips have some rotational movement when you run, while your chest naturally stays relatively still. It feels much smoother and more natural to run when you get all that weight off of your hips.
For shotgun only matches, having the chest rig plus all my normal shotgun caddies lets me carry 36 shotgun shells plus the 9 in the gun for the start. I have a pretty wide assortment of other caddies that I can add via teklocks if necessary for really big shotgun stages like a jungle run.
All of my belt gear is now on ALS or QLS plates, so I can remove it if I don't need it for a stage. Two gun stage, rifle/shotgun only. I can remove my pistol, still in the QLS holster, and just leave it in my range bag. Same thing for pistol/rifle stages. I will pull all my shotgun caddies. It only takes a second to clip them back on for the next stage.

At 140lbs, I quickly discovered that there simply isn't enough real estate on the belt for 3 gun matches.
I made up a placard years ago that holds rifle mag, pistol mag, and a shotgun shell caddy.
