I'm seriously considering slapping an RMR on my pistol and want to compete with it to see what the fuss is all about. Well, I guess serious enough that I just snagged one off the EE.
However, I'm not sure what comp type/class I need to be looking at. I'm 99.87% sure IDPA is a no-go, but it's been years since I've shot with them. Is Open in USPSA my only choice? I'm in DFW if that makes any difference. |

If anyone near you shoots IPSC, you can shoot Production Optics, depending on gun.

Ah, forgot about IPSC.
I see now that USPSA has a Carry Optics division loosely based on Production. Looks like I'll need to buy a new gun rather than jacking up my CCO. |

Carry Optics has been getting bigger around here.
I’m actually going to grab a Vortex Venom for one of my Glock 17’s to see how it is. |

USPSA Carry Optics. Rules are pretty loose. Post a photo of the gun and we can comment. Otherwise, USPSA Open is fine.

I'm in DFW if that makes any difference. If you want to shoot USPSA with an RMR/optics, you would be in limited. Also, there are a TON of USPSA shooters in the DFW area, I am one of them. There are matches every weekend. As a matter of fact we are having an outlaw match Sunday @ 1pm at Proactive Defense. Wed night match at Elm Fork Shooting Sat steel match at 160 ETTS Tipple C Mission 160 Dallas Pistol Club has all sorts of matches. IM me and we can see about getting you going. |

OP wants to shoot carry ops....I.e. welfare open.
Minor only 140mm mags Slide mounted optic. Drop holster allowed, holster and mag pouches have to be behind the hips...pretty much the same rig rules as production. There is a weight limit on the gun so bear that in mind. Once an optic goes on the gun you are in carry ops or open only. Optics ARE NOT legal in any other division....well except pcc but those are rifles. |

Bought a Walther. The club nearest me is IDPA and they do have a carry optics division, so that's what I'll be shooting, for now.

Sorry all, Carry Optics is correct. Had a brain fart and typed Limited.
 , when I was thinking CO.Open would require a compensator. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Agreed. Limited is the Chosen Division.   
Honestly, I shot Production all last year with a few Limited thrown in. I know when I got into the game, I wanted to go Open. The guns are just too freakin' cool. 
But, I wanted to learn all I could and choosing the hardest division to be in was what I needed. I just moved to Open, but have yet to shoot a sanctioned match. |

Try some 150gr subs from S&B.
Since you are in the DFW area, as am I, we have a TON of USPSA matches. Tonight at Elm Fork we are having an outlaw match. every weekend there are matches, some sanctioned, some not. But always somewhere to shoot. There is also North Texas Lead Farmers. We have a match a month, and a practice/training day once a month. our local Master will tech you what you need to know. He took me under his wing a bit over a year and a half ago. I am now beating a lot of the guys that whopped my butt when I started. IM me if you want in on the super secret FB page. |

I'm up to may elbows in various projects (work & personal) right now and have little extra time. Hell, I bought the Walther a month ago and haven't shot it yet.
I've not shot a USPSA match, but was active with Collin County IDPA back in the day before they shut down the ranges in McKinney north of the airport & Little Elm (both on 380). I've been to a couple of classes by B.Enos but it's been a while; 15 years? Ouch. |

My dry fire practicing certainly helped as I didn't have much problem picking up the dot under slow fire conditions. Biggest problem was keeping both eyes open. Red dots are a simple enough adjustment (for me, anyway) on a rifle, but a bit of a different dynamic on the pistol. Looking forward to shooting some matches with this setup.

Well I shot a box of all of the above plus a 124gr FMJ. I definitely like the heavier weight rounds, but the Winchester Train is *expensive*. Not finding anymore of the 150gr Syntech; it's all backordered. My dry fire practicing certainly helped as I didn't have much problem picking up the dot under slow fire conditions. Biggest problem was keeping both eyes open. Red dots are a simple enough adjustment (for me, anyway) on a rifle, but a bit of a different dynamic on the pistol. Looking forward to shooting some matches with this setup. Just keep dry firing with both eyes and after a week you will have it. Make sure to push the speed. |
