Outlaw Action Pistol match (USPSA rules with IDPA scoring) at the Amarillo Rifle and Pistol Club. I was shooing my original non-ported Staccato C2 from concealment (AIWB) in the Optics division. I recently dehorned and refinished this gun at RFV Tactical in a custom mix of Cerakote that mimics the factory DLC finish, and I've been carrying and training with it for several days, so I thought I would shoot it at this match. The lighter weight of the gun and the smaller window of the RMR optic was definitely noticeable in this dynamic shooting environment. It has more muzzle flip than most of my other 2011 style guns and the small window of the RMR makes it a little harder to be aware of how the dot is tracking during recoil. The gun still ran great and the new finish looks amazing. We had two smaller one position stages, and two larger stages utilizing the same layout with different start positions. We went through all the stages pretty quickly and got done before it got too hot.
Stage 1: Engage all of the targets from behind a low barrier while down on one knee. The first mag was restricted to 10 rounds to force a reload. I inadvertently released the slide before the mag was completely inserted during my reload and it didn't pick up a round, so I got a click but no bang when I pulled the trigger, which took several seconds to realize and correct. I ended up in 6th place with one C-zone hit.
Stage 2: Pretty straight forward stage of shooting around a barrier. Didn't even need to reload as I used a 20-round magazine. I ended up in 3rd place with one C-zone hit.
Stage 3: I thought my stage plan was pretty good, and I executed it well, but I pushed my speed too much on some of the up-close targets and picked up three C-zone hits while transitioning from target to target. I also had a lot of make-up shots on several targets. I ended up in 2nd place.
Stage 4: My stage plan was very similar to Stage 3 despite the different start position. I was slightly more conservative with my speed on the up-close targets, but still picked up three C-zone hits (but no make-up shots) and placed 2nd again.
I ended up in 2nd place Overall out of 25 total and had a great time.
