Frequently Asked Questions

What is the scoring system used in this double-action pistol competition?

The scoring system is based on USPSA-style efficiency, where total points scored on targets are divided by the time taken to complete the course. Alphas are worth 5 points, Charlies 3, Deltas 1, and misses or no-shoots incur a -10 point penalty.

Which pistol performed best in the double-action competition shoot-out?

The Tanfoglio Stock II was the overall winner of the competition shoot-out. The CZ Shadow 2 came in a very close second, demonstrating strong performance across the different stages and distances.

How does gun weight affect performance in competitive shooting?

Heavier guns, like the Tanfoglio Stock II, were found to be easier to steady during recoil and felt more stable, offering an advantage in accuracy at longer distances like 25 yards.

What role does optic MOA play in competitive handgun shooting?

Larger optic MOA dots, such as a 10 MOA dot, make shot calling easier by providing a clearer view of the dot's position on the target, aiding in judging accuracy, especially at distances up to 40 yards.
