Landed my first top 10 finish tonight at IDPA. I’d been hanging around 12-15 for the past few. Finally broke through. Finished 9th out of 30.
Been running my Gen 5 19 MOS with an RMR. Red dot all the things!!
My Gen 5 17 slide came back from getting milled, and has an RMR mounted. Will zero it in at class this Saturday during lunch, and will likely start shooting it in competition very soon.

I did mount a RMR on it and have it zeroed. What other mods/alterations would you suggest for competition?

I did mount a RMR on it and have it zeroed. What other mods/alterations would you suggest for competition? At first, absolutely nothing. Then, it depends on which competition base you'll be aiming for - IDPA or USPSA. Then, it will depend on which classification within IDPA or USPSA. I suggest reading through the rulebook for both - there are some significant differences in the competition rules, scoring, power factor calculation and how it impacts your scoring, equipment you are allowed to utilize, and finally, the classes for guns, themselves. In IDPA, if you start doing anything at all outside of an RDS, then you move into Enhanced Service Pistol. Even with that, some modifications are not permitted. Since the whole carry optic thing is relatively new in popularity, there are some loopholes in the IDPA rules. By that, I mean that some of the guys that shoot their race guns in USPSA are using them in IDPA and are simply classified as Carry Optic. There have been some live changes on the rules, which has forced them to move to Enhanced Service pistol and / or disallowed the race guns in IDPA comp. An otherwise stock service pistol with an RDS will be classified as Carry Optic. If you do nothing but change sights on a stock service pistol, that stays in Stock Service Pistol classification. ESP comes into play when you start adding magwells, visible trigger modifications, certain spring and grip enhancements, etc. USPSA is more about racing, so it has more allowances for modifications. In fact, some classifications actually encourage you to build a "faster" gun and belt rig. So for now, make sure you have your base gun, a good set of iron sights, an RDS if you choose, 4 or 5 good magazines, a reliable kydex OWB holster and 3 mag pouches. If you're going to shoot IDPA, make sure you have a good cover garment - a vest or a large shirt. Oh and a good belt for either. Read the rule books (which you can find online at IDPA.com and USPSA.org), go shoot a few comps, then you'll see what others use, what works for them, and what will work for you.

Holy crap, the ammo shortage is real! Cabelas was all out of 9 mm, had only 3 boxes of .45, and basic .223 was picked bare. The small local gun shops are pretty much completely out, too. So much for stocking up.

So much for stocking up. I'm not shocked. People have become idiots thinking this thing is a massive deadly disease. Simple facts...a lot of people are going to catch this, almost 90% will hardly know they even have it, and unless you're old and have underlying health conditions you're at virtually no risk of death. Additionally, I bet many of the anti-gun folks are finding out that you can't just buy a gun online...and are the ones hoarding shit paper.

I seen a video the other day where first time gun buyers were getting pissed that they couldn't simply drive to a gun shop, pick out the scariest looking gun on the wall, and drive home with it all in the same day. I guarantee these are the same people who cry about gun show loopholes and how easy it is for anyone to get a "fully semi automatic military assault rifle machine gun". Meanwhile I'm sitting at home looking at my pitiful 100 rounds of .45 and thinking "shit, I should have been slowly stocking ammo these past few years."

Additionally, I bet many of the anti-gun folks are finding out that you can't just buy a gun online...and are the ones hoarding shit paper. A colleague from grad school, who lives near Atlanta, and whom I’d not heard from in over 3 years, emails me the other night. Now, let’s just say he’s a FAR LEFT leaning kind of guy when it comes to societal issues. He is in a bad way in this email. He can’t believe that he was lied to by ’his’ politicians and media when they assured him that anyone can buy a gun online and have it sent to their home. See, he actually tired to buy a a Glock 19 from Buds Gun Shop, but was appalled that they wouldn’t send it to his address. He actually admitted he called them and got in an argument with a CSR at Buds because he thought he was being singled out. He ended up calling several other stores, both local and online type dealers asking the same questions. He is now feeling defenseless. Shitter even hinted at me letting him borrow something. I haven’t even responded to him. Dumbass. Like I’m going to go out of my way to get you a gun when you’re 5 hours away. He’s the kind of shitbird that would turn it in to police after this craziness passes, claiming he was doing social justice. Not to mention the liability of giving a gun to someone who has no clue how to use it. First class asshat. So, in the end, even fairly intelligent people can prove that they will believe whatever they are told.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but PRACTICE PROPER GUN SAFETY! My sister in law was woken up by her neighbor at midnight last night, because the fucking dumbass accidentally shot her house while cleaning his gun. Fortunately the bullet went low, narrowly missing their water heater. The bedrooms are all upstairs, so neither her, her husband, or their 3 little girls were injured. Scary close call, though.

I will literally never understand how this ever happens. It takes literally 1 second to check and clear a gun before you clean it, it’s not hard

This is so stupid. I am guessing this guys idea of seeing if there is a round in the chamber is to look down the barrel. I am overly obsessive about clearing guns before I handle them for any reason. Every morning when I put it in my holster and on my body a press-check is minimum. When I get home clear and store. Pick it up to move it, clear the weapon. Cleaning it, clear the weapon. Look at it lovingly for a bit, clear the weapon.

I’ve seen setups small enough to fit on the upper shelf of a closest, out of sight when not in use Or you could go real miniature and find an old lee loader, those are handheld. Slow to use, but extremely compact and they do work
