First handgun win of 2018! Open/optics division in local match

[1KPerDay]

60ish shooters overall, with about 16 in Optics/open division. Quite a few PCC shooters. I guess I need to get one of those.

I placed 1st in my division in 5 of 7 stages, and placed 6th on both of the others, due to trying to shoot too fast and making dumb mistakes. I took first overall in my division by 0.4 seconds. Whew!

I shot my S&W CORE 9L with RMR 3.25 MOA optic. Non ported, standard barrel and recoil spring, Apex FSS trigger and sear kit. Taylor Freelance 28-round mag extension. Safariland belt slide IDPA legal holster, crappy cheap paddle mag pouches.

Still losing a lot of time getting on target for the first shot, and on reloads, and on movement. And on being stupid. A couple very fast master-class IDPA iron sight shooters had faster overall times. And a couple PCCs naturally.

Thanks for the video, that was entertaining. You whack those Texas Stars very well indeed! Just looking at them scares me.

 

[1KPerDay]

LOL they can smell fear. Diabolical beasts indeed!

Well done, indeed.
I have done more than my share of competition. I appreciate the dedication that it takes to be a serious competitor.
Congrats.
Some can talk the talk, but i see you can walk the walk.
Well done.

Id like to see it.

Excellent shooting if I must say so!!! You must have put in a lot of work over the years.

Haha! Very cool. You definitely dominate on those Texas Stars. I like them as well, but wow, you definitely shoot them as well or better than any I have ever seen.

 

[1KPerDay]

Thanks! Sometimes even a blind hog finds an acorn, as they say.

You know how to boss those stars around, and the walking-while-shooting-steel stage was pretty impressive. Your hands move slow as molasses during the first half of the draw, but once you set up shop, the shooting is good! Good stuff.

 

[1KPerDay]

Slow as molasses is right LOL.

Congrats!

The end of January I got my first division win ever in SCSA (or any thing else with a handgun). Shot iron sight revolver at a range I had never been to. There were 7 or 8 others in ISR.

I actually thought my shooting wasn't too good that day and given the times on official SCSA stages I have done better in the past. But still, it was fun seeing my name at the top of the division. I think the really good shooters didn't attend that match.
