That’s absolute one of the best aspects of practical shooting. Happy to help when I can. Hopefully we came up with useful stage plans together.

@@NilsJonasson It was great! Also I swapped from a 13lb to a 14lb recoil spring in my Rival based on our conversation and it helped avoid some malfunctions I had been getting.

@@bangbangping-uspsa Yeah the 13lb spring is just to darn light to reliably hold it in battery.

right after we talked about it you follow up with a banger video.

@@TCSA LOL! But this is just shooting.

@@NilsJonasson Amazing job! I purchased my rival partially because of you! What belt and mag setup are you running good sir? Or can you suggest a setup for someone going into their first competition? Amazing shooting as always

@@Jaygoesin Thanks Jay, I run the factory rival holster mounted to a Boss hanger. My mag pouched are from Zeus Practical, which work pretty well. My belt is a canik/CR speed style over under belt. Double Alpha makes some solid belts and mag pouches, so you can’t go wrong there. CR Speed also has mag pouches that will work perfectly well for slightly less money. Hope that helps.

@@NilsJonasson thank you champ! This is perfect

Thanks! Will do!

Thanks! I’ll see about posting a little more frequently.

😇

Thanks. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

Thank you John.

Thanks James.

Thanks. There were some difficult stages at CO Nats last year.

Thank you very much!

@@NilsJonasson You're very welcome from Hawaii's 2A community 🤙🏾

Hope you enjoy it!

@@NilsJonasson No doubt ! Will def hit some matches with it and use this video for some inspiration 👍🏼

@@stovepipe8966 Heck yeah! And the all black rival does look sexy.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks! Yes it is.

See you there!

Thanks.

I’m sure I’ll be back in Florida for something.

I’m running the SFX Rival.

@@NilsJonasson Thank you for the reply. My petite 16yo daughter uses that same model to participate in IDPA from time to time. She loves it and won't let Daddy run it on an IDPA course. 😆 I've seen that Canik came out with the Rival-S so I may pull the trigger on that model. Have a great day, and keep bringing the content.

She does the job well.

I'm liking the new Rival-S a lot, but the Rival is an awesome pewpew.

It's not though 😂. Watched a guy dealing with his at the range I work at, and it was choking on whatever he was shooting, didn't look or sound like a gamer load either.

This was before the S came out, so this was the original Rival.

@@NilsJonasson Nils appreciate you answering, thanks!

Oh yeah. Great shooting pistol. The Mete and Rival actually share basically the same frame.

It’s the Rival.

Are you excited for the rival S? I bought the darkside not too long ago but I’m wondering if it’s worth getting the steel version or just work on getting better with the polymer one

Factory holster mounted on a boss hanger.

Two good options would be going to USPSA directly and learning more about the sport at uspsa.org Or checkout matches local to you using Practiscore which is the scoring system most matches utilize. practiscore.com/search/matches Observe a match and ask questions. You’ll find that most people are happy to help new shooters.
