Looking at that Picture I would be surprised if the grip is illegal for Standard, @Beaker or @ebf may be able to confirm for you?Quote:

Naa, i shot 10 years ago, best option is to take the pistol to Dunners and confirm with either the match director or several of the IROA guys. Dont just ask one, like folks have said before, different RO's have different views...
Cant find anything relating to grips on a standard gun when i flick through my rule book. But its got to fit in the box.
I will bring it to get advice but I only entered production with my shadow.Quote:

Something to consider is that it could affect your PNZ grade. Typically the first comp you shoot, they downgrade you one level. So shoot D, then your grade becomes C+. Not sure how that would work if you change from Prod to Std. There have also been some changes to the PNZ grading system recently, so would probably pay to check their website and read up about it...Quote:

In fact the experienced standard shooter used that same type for years competing. As long as they fit in the box all good. It is production class that gets finicky about non OFM parts. Pretty much the only parts that can be not made by the manufacturer or for that model are after market sights and grips (grips still have to be the same contour/profile as OFM ones...kind of vague honestly) ...err and aftermarket magazines. If they give you problems ask them to show the rule they think it violates (again carry copy of rules), IPSC is quite specific in its rules.
Arg, just read my earlier post - example is the wrong way round (I blame dyslexia, haha).
Shoot C in 1st comp, then you become D+. If you shoot C in 2nd comp, you will then be C.
No they just changed the rules now you get what you shoot immediately. And the grade % has dropped. I was ungraded and went straight to b in production

Clays you start c until you have shot 400 targets and then advance to B even if you're shooting A or AA scores in whatever dicipline. I was made to go up one at a time after every 200 targets once I had initial grading iirc.
Thanks for checking up the rules around the grips fellas. I plan to shoot both production and standard and see how I go.
Not worried about grades and stuff until I have done a few shoots.
If it is anything like clays the higher your grade the harder it is to do any good.
Plodding along has served me well in the past.😆

I think you NEED to get along to a local shoot and give it a go......Quote:

And if your a shit shot (like me), just shoot more quickly and you'll win! Its a great mix.
And the reloadimg is cheap/easy, most of the pistol shoters are a relaxed, good barstards, etc,....

And good luck with the SI Champs.
I haven't been to an Island or National champs since 1994.

I have that exact holster and its 100% garbage
Replacing it with a Ghost

You can't draw quickly from it, even with the retention backed right out the pistol binds in it and it twists up against the belt. There's also a bit that gets in the way of your thumb and stops you getting a proper grip on the gun when drawingQuote:

What do you like about the Ghost holster?

It's easier to draw from.
Yup, good holster.
The only thing wrong with it is sometimes when I draw the foresight scrapes a bit off the holster and it sits on the sight. Can be a bit distracting but only seems to happen when I rush the draw.

I love my CR Speed WSM II easy to get it to sit where it's most comfortable and smooth to draw from.
Only negative is some courses where you need to crawl through or under shit, have never been caught up in anything but the potential is higher than the paddle style enclosed holsters
Quite like the Double Alpha PDR Pro have one for Shadow and also one for a XDM.
Tried the PDR low ride for the XDM and didn't like it so swapped for another PDR Pro, think the lowrides you have to wear them in or something with lining. They're quite different holsters, The PDR pro has quite a few adjustments and hangs out so you can get an easy grip onto pistol.
One observation, DA holsters are popular with Grand Masters in NZ ;), it's more about how you shoot.
Plus I had my PDR set out too far from the hip, only after it was pointed out by a friendly RO did I adjust it so it sits snug next to my belt now.
Ordered a CZ75SP01 Shadow with the Double Alpha PDR Pro Holster.
So shortly I'll be all set to get back into the IPSC game.
Thanks for the feedback on the Holsters.
Cheers
Pete
Great choice on pistol!
Cant comment on holster, i'm using a CR Holster -
CR Speed Model 2000
Dont like the tit up the barrel, but apart from that all good. Bit a performance getting the shimes right in the beginning, but sinnce then no issues, great to draw from - but i'm also hopeless at speed..... and accurate shooting......

Yeah I broke mine off during a 3 gun course where we had to crawl through a long tunnel while shooting, have a wooden dowel in the meantime, need to find another 9mm one, what calibre are you?Quote:

Have a mate with a 3d printer, so was thinking i could get someone to draw one - or maybe one that just cups around instead, and get him to print one. Can also buy from SA

Yup wrap around thingy on the one I'm getting.
Wanted the Ghost stinger like I have for my shadow but none in stock anywhere.

Link?
I really have a dislike for putting things, and in particular plastic, up the end of a warm/hot barrel - so could be keen on seeing if anyone has the cup thing in nz.
