I just bought the G34 Gen 3 to get into competition shooting. I just started my training. I follow your channel and has been very helpful in buying my gear.
Tony Wong made Gm with a g26. Granted he's super dedicated to his game but it can be done with about anything if you want to. Will you win nationals that way, no. But you can get very proficient.
A very modified G 26 :)
I want to get into competition shooting, but I don't currently have the time. I have taken basic firearms and modify them to improve them, but now days you can buy a lot of modifications already built into the firearms. Competitions might be a great place to try new things out, but on your EDC you stick with what you know that works. Some triggers are great for competition, but is too light for EDC. Once again it boils down to training. The more you do it the better you will get. Also that famous saying, Two is One, and One is None. Great Video!!!!
Thank you for this great advice! I'm just getting into this field, and this answered alot of the questions I had .
Great video this answered a lot of my questions lately
I bought a dedicated competition gun and enjoyed it but since I carry a G19 (or G43X) I bought a Gen5 G34 for USPSA and I love it! it's stock except for the SRO and now that's all I want to shoot.
This is an excellent channel for very useful info about competitive shooting. You do a fine job presenting each video. Great teaching video!
Thanks you brother. I learned a lot especially in deciding which gun to buy.
Hi love your vids really good 👍
I'm from Australia 🇦🇺 and we can only shoot a pistol in competition, cannot be used for any other purpose...
In saying that I'm new to pistols and have joined a club and going through the process of getting a pistol licence.
Question , what size cal would you recommend for a beginner , we can only shoot up to 9mm at my club
Thank you for this informative non-biased video. As a recommendation for new shooters, look at optic ready pistol. that will allow them to add the optic down the road, after getting use to iron sights first.
I agree...
Why get used to iron sights? The philosophy is different for both
@@bluyetiinc7553 budget.. save 300 bucks and add later
If you are starting I would recommend getting a red dot and learning that first. It will allow you to be a better shooter. I got a Gen3 G19 frame and built it up with an aftermarket slide optic cut and put on a red dot I also have irons only pistols. I am trying to get all my pistols cut for optics.
Just compete to have fun. Great experience. I would get smoked using my G43x but that's what I EDC. I will never be a pro shooter but any type of stress type of shooting is great experience. Never stop learning and training.
you nailed it Myles .. in my state many goes for the race gun anyway because it is fancyer even if they are not very skilled at shooting... i will stick with my oem Glock 17 mos and just have fun ..
I shoot a stock VP9L-B in production and carry a paddle frame VP9 4", I love training, shooting & competing synergy, fighting to break in to M class before the end of 2022, wish me luck!
Good luck!
My EDC is a P365xl but I have Icarus precision EVO frame ,fdez XXL comp slide, DPM recoil kit, M carbo trigger and a Tlr7a . I can use XL or macro mags depending on clothing print but I can complete equally with staccato xc at half the cost with more reliable and concealed carry gun. Aftermarket has made p356 the most adaptive platform out there. You can use the FCU from your original p365 to build off of as you carry the macro
Nice set up - I love that slide from fdez. Would you know if that same slide fits the Icarus ACE XL+ MACRO module? I'm attempting to do this setup and I'm going back and forth with either fdez slide/barrel or go with pmm
What would you recommend for someone who lives and wants to compete in CALIFORNIA?
2011s aren’t on the roster 😢
I went with something i could use for tactical shooting but also for ipsc if i wanted too.
So i went with a CZ P10 F and so far i have not been disappointed, and it it still complete stock. Dont see or feel the need for any change, besides getting a fibre optic front sight.
Only thing i would love to get in time, would be to get a seperate optic slide. So i could switch for shooting red dot when i want.
I added an sro to mine
CZ makes great guns for both sport and defensive use for sure.
I went with a P-10F as well and I cut it for 509T. So far I haven’t replaced the irons. I feel they aren’t as important for a range toy/competition gun. I have a couple of P-10C’s to carry. I shoot them much better than my Glocks, but I have them since there are so many around
Good video Miles you guys have a great information channel
Thanks 👍
As someone that is getting into the game, I like the statement " use what you have first " then upgrade ( if ) you want
Do you have a recommendation for a good shot timer app for a smartphone? Nobody has done a video about which app is the best.
I just got a G43 and I like it but I’m still partial to the gen 4 Glock 19 I just like the mods I have and the way it fits my hand but my G43 is getting my attention
I shoot my Glock 25 which is my EDC and I compete against G34s, G35s, DVC etc and I can hold my own. I always compete against the last version of myself. That way I'm constantly improving and honing my skillset. Great video. It definitely answered many of my questions or concerns. 👍
Which league are you shooting .380 is not an allowed caliber as it won’t make minor power factor in most major leagues. I would actually love to shoot .380 splits and sight recovery would be insane.
@@Robbie6298 if your a member of a local shooting range most of the time they'll let you shoot in whatever match they host even if your not a member of whatever league ( IDPA, USPSA, etc ) Your not competing against anyone basically shooting for fun, in a league of one, yourself.
Great video
I've known a few guys that went out and bought $$$ comp guns and kit before ever going out to a competition, bought all the gear went once and disliked the experience for whatever reason. That first point of "use what you have" could also save you a lot of money if you decide you don't like the sport
I'm in this exact position now. I used my old Walter PPQ for my first USPSA match and I fell in love. But I really want to upgrade to carry optics. Could you do a recommendation video on pistol models you would recommend? For example X5 legion, but I'm nervous about the 320's negligent discharges. I like Glocks just don't like the grip angle for natural point of aim. I have larger hands and long fingers. Would love to hear your suggestions please!
Canik rival!!!
Based on my experience and everyone I know that has 10’s of thousands of rounds thru Sig P320 variants, they do not fire on their own . Negligent discharges are by definition, operator errors. I find the Sig TXG grip module is great for big hands. I shoot a P320 Max . Canik Rival is probably the best affordable CO pistol out of the box .
I have the rival S and the X5 DH3….DH3 grip is awesome but the Canik was cheaper of course.
I use my xfive with no issues. Ghost hydra p holster and alpha academy belt and mags. First year doing it and love.
Can you tell me about the genuine handgun for IDPA other than Glock? Handsome brother
Great info to know. That probably prevents alot of people from getting into competition shooting thinking they must have a race gun.
Thanks for info because I agree that rapid fire won't give accuracy at all.
Yes, I’d definitely shoot some matches with whatever appropriate pistol you have before investing any money in more expensive gear. Being competitive in any division isn’t dependent on your gear anyway until you’re experienced in the game and any marginal gain could possibly give you a slight edge over similarly skilled players.
What about using lesser equipment as a personal challenge?
What about calibers and not guns? Is 9mm mandatory? I remember back in the day when IPSC shooters were using .38 Super and .45's as competition race calibers. Is that still the case today in 2024? Use My carry gun? My EDC is a 10mm. Is that a legal caliber for competition shooting?
Pick the gun you already own. Shoot that for a bit.
When you find out what class you like shooting in and what guns you like to shoot the answer is self evident.
I like my 365 x macro but after 1 mag at speed, it's so damn hot that you can't hold it.
They get so hot, it's killed 3 Holosun 507Ks for me. Had to send them back.
That intro is fire
Thanks!
Sadly the X-Macro won't be allowed in carry optics since it has that porting/comp. With an XL slide it would be legal
Aren't most shooting competitions divided into classes, usually by type of gun and sometimes the shooters ability?
Comp or carry.
Why sacrifice control for a convenience. Single stack vs double.
Small hands suffer control issues on large frame guns.
Oh, you need a double stack for the large mag well for a reload.
Learn to reload.
Better control beats convenience.
Getting good is expensive. Practice a lot and you need to reload your own ammunition. If you want to cut costs, then shoot IDPA without the race guns. Choose a gun that's popular so you can have a choice of holsters and you can buy magazines. Mags have to be loaded before the match and you need more than you think you need. They get damaged or dirty. Additionally, forget about everyone else. Compete against yourself and get better each time you go. That makes you a better shooter.
Gun doesn’t matter. Just look at Tony Wong who achieved Grand Master status with a Glock 26
Cool, we can do things the Keanu Reeves way with this new knowledge.
God bless.
How much money do you have?
X Macro puts you in open because of the comp
That was my question as well. Is it a comp or just a slide cut? The gun is too new to be in the list of allowed. Can this be Carry Optics or is it Open for USPSA?
@@94062danpintegral slide comps were recently made legal in IDPA I believe, but still will bump you into open in USPSA. Basically anything that vents gas upwards from the barrel will land you in open
These comments are out of date. you can get x macro without comp now.
10 mm glock 20
I want an atlas. Need to save
Why's do you take a breath every sentence?
