Warning, strong language 😂 still performed incredibly well against amazing shooters, and had a good time with the gang. Getting real excited for the low cap match!

Delta who? I delta couple alphas 😂

Can’t really complain about a CO win and solid overall finish, gun feels weird without the thumbrest but the bullets still go where I want them and the dot usually behaves if I don’t think too hard about it. Had a great time with the gang and looking forward to the next one!

Action steel is so nice I had to shoot it twice 😂 I’m really lucky to have lots of great people to help me drag all this shit out every month, and a community who continues to put up with my wacky stage designs and relative distaste for administrative work. It’s all worth it because this is the most fun I’ve ever had! Since I ran twice I put my second run under Cheater MD, here are those runs which are all combined stage wins.

For accountability, here is the shit-reel from states.

Battled with endless stage failures, delays, and physical and psychological fatigue in the second half of the day.

Performed way below my average and tanked my overall results.

The highlight reel from CO States.

Did better on the first half of the day given my shoulder injury. Enjoyed the stage designs, and had a blast with a solid squad. Will plan on not getting hurt before next major.

Beretta 85 thoughts on Monday morning. I’ve been thinking a lot about safeties on handguns lately since I got the USP9C. My Beretta 85 was an Italian prison trade in that Cabela’s had and I got it for $9.65 after using my Cabela’s points. These should not be confused with the Beretta 84 which has a double stack magazine, the 85 has an 8 shot single stack mag. You get 9 rounds in the gun if you plus up, which I would. The trigger is long and smooth with a crisp break, the safety is easy to reach, crisp going on and off, and the most important criteria for a safety on a handgun is met with the Beretta 85, it’s intuitive. I desperately need more magazines for it, they are less available and more expensive than Beretta 84 mags. I carry mine with Hornady 90 grain XTP’s. It acted in the role of a secondary mountain gun this weekend, backing up my Glock 21. Is 380 in this format a mountain round, and is the Beretta 85 an appropriate mountain gun? Sometimes yes, in my opinion. My biggest concerns are unhinged people and their dogs so my first line of defense is always pepper spray. A Beretta 85 after that is decent in the role I’ve set. However, we don’t always get to set the roles that we end up in. A 66-8 combat magnum could be better, same with a Glock 21, or Glock 19. Still my Beretta 85 will come to the mountains more often.

Great match at BRC, had lots of fun with the gang and got a ton of compliments (plus some hate 😂) on my crazy swinger stage. I always enjoy seeing the cool stage plans people come up with, especially low-cap shooters. See you all next week at Weld!

Had a great time blasting at BRC all day with the gang! Sore and sunburnt but excited for RM300 next weekend. Camera overheated on stage 3 right before I did an epic gamer move 🗿
