Speed Steel at Tri County Gun Club

[Papercidal]

A quick question are da/sa guns required to start cocked and locked or can they start hammer down? I shoot a shadow 2 in USPSA and have the useless flat safety's on my production guns but was thinking about trying some speed steel this weekend but don't really feel like changing the safety lever out on my pistol if not necessary.

Please see the link below. Scroll down to "starting positions", then down to bullet point #4, "center fire handgun shooters".

I don't know why CZ would even think to go with flat safety levers on a competition gun....smh

Basically, since your Shadow 2 has a safety, you have to use it. Now if you can switch it out with an oversized version, that would be your best bet.

Interested in attending. Never shot a match before but Id say i'm a decently experienced shooter. Does anyone have the match directors number so we can reach out?

@ac4wordplay

What do you plan on shooting gun wise?

I think ill be in limited. P10C with the sight that come on the gun. Ive opened up the rear notch some, is this modification ok?

Also is it ok if I wear my battle belt? I have it set up for when i go to the feild

 

[spookshack]

You are welcome to shoot us on squad 4, but please make sure you
are squared away with your gun, mags and ammo.

We love helping out new shooters, but we like to get out on time if possible and one way we can do that is by having the new shooter do a little homework with regards to the basic rules, gun, equipment, etc.

You should be fine on both counts.

Course, it can be a rythm killer if someone doesn't have their crap sorted out.

We recommend at least 5 mags for the match ( pop in a fresh mag after each string). You can get by with 3 mags but then someone in the squad will have to load them if you are having a tough time and missing quite a bit. See above about finishing on time. Lol
300rds of ammo is WAY more than enough for the match.
Bring 12 bucks, eyes and ears and anything else that you might think would be handy while shooting a match.

Will do, you should see me unless my old man needs help tomorrow. Either way definitely want to get into some kind of competition shooting

They ship with the flat safety because USPSA and IPSC production division (which is what the shadow is optimized for) both require a hammer down start. They do come with a extended safety in the Box but it is just something extra hanging off the gun

 

[spookshack]

Speed Steel is a good place to start. We are a pretty laid back group.
If you have never shot at Tri County Gun Club before then please note that we have a strict "no muzzle over the berm" rule. If at any time you elevate a loaded firearm above the back berm or sidewalls in the action bays, you will be DQ'ed and politely told to leave the match immediately by the match director, as you will be done for the day.

Well that makes sense for those matches but having a safety that is optimized for cocked-n-locked for Speed Steel would be most beneficial .

I have a minigun in 9mm, can i use the on/off switch as a safety? is belt feed ok?

Class clown....

I think I'll have to find a club that operates under steel challenge rules which require a hammer down first shot in production as that was the thing I was most wanting to work on (and i don't think i will get home early enough to tear apart my gun and switch safeties). Perhaps next month I'll have to find a 5th mag for my .22/45 and shoot rimfire for fun.

Can't go wrong with a Ruger, pistol or carbine. My personal choice for Speed Steel is a AR-9....

I only wish... it will take a rotary cannon to keep pace with you Mr. Shack.
