Outlaw Action Pistol Match - 07/27/2024

Outlaw Action Pistol match (IDPA scoring, USPSA-ish rules) at the Amarillo Rifle and Pistol Club. I was using a new Staccato P 2011 that I recently picked up as a shop gun for RFV Tactical. I bought the gun used in excellent condition for a price that was way too good to pass up, and it already had a Leupold Delta Point Pro optic installed. I wanted to use it for at least one match while it was still completely stock before doing anything to it, so this informal match was the perfect opportunity. My performance sucked and the match itself sucked for multiple reasons, so it was all a big disappointment for me. The gun ran fine, but it wasn't nearly as easy to shoot fast as all of my other personal customized carry guns. I ended up in 1st place Overall out of 19 total, but that's most likely because several good shooters left early due to the extended wait times in between each stage (only using one bay and each stage was setup completely different), so I would've most likely ended up in 2nd or 3rd place if they had stayed. 😕😖

USPSA Action Pistol Match - 07/13/2024

USPSA Action Pistol Match at 41 Lead Farm in Lubbock, TX with the West Texas Practical Shooters club. I was shooting my ported STI Tac-Lite 4.0 2011 in the Open division. I recently installed the original full-size grip module that I did a step cut grip chop on to eliminate the large magwell that I had on it, so that it would print less when carrying it. No issues with the gun and my performance was decent without any major mistakes. I ended up in 12th place Overall out of 42 total. Update: they had to throw one stage out due to problems with a scoring tablet, so I ended up in 11th.

USPSA Action Pistol Match - 07/06/2024

USPSA Action Pistol Match at the Southwest Shooting Center in Clovis, NM with the Southwest Performance Shooters club. I was shooting my custom V8 ported Staccato P 2011 in the Open division because that's just my go-to gun these days. 😜 The gun ran great as usual and my performance was decent except for a dumpster fire on the second stage, which was a classifier.  I tried to go way too fast and had a miss on the last target because I was off balance and sent my last shot over the target's shoulder. Despite my dumpster fire, I still managed to come in 6th place Overall out of 29 total. 😏
