Sounds like guys who want to look good more than shoot good.

What discipline do you shoot with the Beretta? They have manufactured pistols for years, plenty of models. I had the 92fs. Great for going to the range and just letting loose.

All the IPSC shooters I know care little for how they look, in fact even thinking about how others see you puts enormous pressure on a shooter. Focus in IPSC as in all disciplines, hence good shooters only focus on their task, the best and worst IPSC shooters shoot in a vacuum, totally unaware there is another soul around until they finish a stage. Without 100% focus a shooters goes to pieces. So looking good is worth nothing. Dare I say in all shooting disciplines this applies, hence those who focus shoot better. If I focus on how I look to others may as well listen to advice on a course of fire.

Cavok just received it last week, as for discipline Im still in the practice mode, but IPSC is the way im going to go. had 40 rounds of Federal 115 and then went to reloads with ADI 30 at 3.3 and had about 80% failer to eject or rechamber.. apparently you need to run it in with abour 150 rounds of factory. ill see how it goes next time on the range.

Isn't failure to eject etc. due to powder charge being insufficient?
