Outlaw Action Pistol Match - 09/20/2025

Outlaw Action Pistol match (USPSA rules with IDPA scoring) at the Amarillo Rifle and Pistol Club. I was shooing my new Staccato Heritage P from concealment (AIWB) in the Optics division. This was my first time using the Heritage P at a match. The gun ran great, as expected, and it was much easier to shoot than my lighter weight Staccato C2 that I've shot at the last two matches. The two larger stages were my design (same layout, different start positions).

Stage 1: A three position stage that included strong-hand and weak-hand shooting. I wish I could've done it a little faster, but it was a solid run and I ended up winning the stage with only two C-zone hits.

Stage 2: A one position stage with 11 targets. I ended up with one hit in the hard cover of a target (which is a miss), but the rest of the hits were decent with only two C-zone hits. There were several people that had magazines that could hold more than the required 22 rounds, but I had to reload as my largest mags only have a 20 round capacity. The miss on the hard cover and the extra two seconds for the reload left me in 6th place on this stage.

Stage 3: A decent run, but my plan to shoot the two targets through the port while moving forward didn't happen as quickly and smoothly as I had planned. I ended up in 3rd place with four C-zone hits.

Stage 4: I pushed my speed a little bit more on the closer open targets and was able to win this stage with only one C-zone hit.

I ended up in 3rd place Overall out of 16 total with the least amount of points down for the day.

USPSA Action Pistol Match - 09/06/2025

USPSA Action Pistol Match at the Southwest Shooting Center in Clovis, NM with the Southwest Performance Shooters club. I was shooting my non-ported Staccato C2 from concealment (AIWB) in the Limited Optics division.  I had planned on shooting my new Staccato P 4.15 Heritage, but the Dawson Precision optic mounting kit that I purchased was missing some parts and I haven't received the replacement parts yet. I had still been carrying and training with the C2 since the last match, so I decided to shoot it again at this match. It was unseasonably cool outside, which was definitely a welcomed change from the Texas summer heat.

Stage 1: A one position stage with a lot of different targets. I was the first shooter of the day on this first stage. Since I wasn't warmed up I tried to shoot it conservatively, but still landed four C-zone hits and ended up in 6th place.

Stage 2: No close up targets to go fast on this one. I executed my plan pretty well with only three C-zone hits, but ended up in 7th place.

Stage 3: A short stage with no need for a reload. I had three C-zone hits, two of them on the target that I shot on the move, and ended up in 4th place.

Stage 4: Mostly all close up targets on this stage, but most of them had to be shot while standing on a balancing beam. There were 10 targets total and I considered doing a reload in the middle of it, but decided against it since I would be walking on the beam during the reload, so I just used a 20 round mag and topped it off after chambering a round. I ended up going to slide lock at the end with one make-up shot. I had two C-zone hits and ended up in 6th place.

Stage 5: "Hi-Jinx" classifier stage. I tried to be really accountable for all of my shots and only had one C-zone hit, but I ended up in 8th place.

I ended up in 5th place Overall. Certainly not my best performance, but I'll take it. The lighter weight Staccato C2 with a small window RMR optic is definitely challenging to shoot at a match, but I must admit that I am enjoying it. It forces me to work a little harder, which should help to improve my action pistol shooting skills.
