Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find local pistol competition matches?

The best way to find local pistol competition matches is by using the map feature on PracticeScore.com. This website allows you to search for events within a specified distance from your location, making it easier to discover shooting sports opportunities near you.

What is a good starting point for concealed carry pistol competitions?

For those specifically interested in shooting from concealment in competitions, IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) is often recommended. While not exclusively for concealed carry, it tends to have a stronger focus on this aspect compared to some other pistol shooting disciplines.

Why did you choose the Walther Q5 Match Steel Frame for competition?

The Walther Q5 Match Steel Frame was chosen primarily due to an exceptionally affordable price offered at the time. While the Canik Rival Steel Frame was also considered, the deal on the Q5 made it an opportunity too good to pass up for a competition-ready setup.

What red dot sight MOA size is best for competition pistols?

For competition pistols, a 5 MOA or 6 MOA dot size is generally preferred. Smaller dots, like 1 MOA, can be too 'squirrely' and provide excessive visual feedback, making a larger dot more manageable for fast target acquisition.
