    USPSA Equipment Survey

    The USPSA hands out fairly extensive surveys to the competitors at their national level events. While this holds a lot of interest to me as a competitive shooter, because of the link between competitive gear and what we end up seeing being adopted in self-defense/military/LE circles I thought others here might be interested as well. Of course, this is a game and all of the equipment is designed to win the game, but national-level competitors don't invest in gear that won't perform or won't last so there is value in that to all.

    Let me know how visible the graphic is. It looks OK on my desktop with the wide screen and all. I also have the stats from the "carry optics" division, which is like Production with a red dot on the slide. I can scan the pages in directly or just type out the high points.

    It seems kinda odd that Bladetech is by far the most popular holster but a distant third in mag pouches

    Competitors. We're a fickle bunch. Also, BT seems to spend more time on their holsters than their mag pouches!

    You can make a CZ trigger super awesome and still be in the rules of the Production Division, and the weight of the pistol makes it settle very fast in 9mm. They are very accurate and take a wide variety of sights.

    I was just reading about Tanfoglio, (which I was admittedly bias against based upon EAA that imports them) and learned they started building pistols after WWII based upon CZ designed-pistols. When you consider the CZ and Tanfoglio from a design standpoint, then 48% of the guns used in USPSA events are based upon a CZ design.

    Yep, that's true, at least in Production Division at the national level.

    No .45's were recorded in the charts. Are they not legal? I thought you received a more lenient scoring matrix in IPSC.

    Production doesn't score caliber differently.

    Many of the other divisions offer lower penalties for C and D zone hits for higher power factor (velocity x weight of projectile) loads. That's why .40 or .38 super are so popular in other divisions such as limited or open.
