I'm not a fan of DA/SA, but a lot of people are. A Shadow 2/Shadow 2 Orange with the hammer down would work well in Production or Carry Optics and is probably currently the most popular gun for those two divisions. Keep in mind that it doesn't have a decocker and you have to manually lower the hammer before holstering. This is a non-issue, but it freaks out some. A Shadow 2 could start cocked and locked (hammer cocked, safety on) in Limited or Limited Optics and shoot first shot SA. CZ has three basic flavors of safeties and I can use the stock Shadow 2 safety with the shelf just like a 1911. Others find using that safety like a SA to be awkward. The flat safeties are not meant to be moved on and off and really serve no purpose, other than to be low profile and stay out of the way. They make a third style with a shelf that is too low and is not very user friendly. I had a non-optics ready Shadow 2 Orange and it would would absolutely shoot the lights out.

Leave the feeder empty for a couple weeks. It'll move on. If it's a nuisance and destroying property, call twra and they'll come trap it and relocate it.

Or maybe birdshot.

He is not going away without using some very violent tactics- He knows where the food is easy pickings and there is only trapping and removing to a different local- OR???

Roger that. Was left on hold. 0/2 in person. Couple stores I called said they hadn’t had any in a month.

He's back for the third time today. Sorry about the pic, not that good, but I was using a fairly long lens.

Just made a post in case anyone was running errands. These got decent reviews, sure it’s the same product just different shell packaging in the factory. For $50 I was going to get one eventually. For $30 I’m dropping everything and driving now. https://go.harborfreight.com/coupons/2025/07/184376-06/

The Shadow 2 is about the best thing going for a DA/SA 9mm. You could shoot that in Production or Carry Optics, first shot in DA mode. if you start with cocked hammer and safety on, I think that will put you into Limited division. it sounds like you first need to decide how you want to shoot, and each USPSA division requirements. Then once you decide on a division and gun, you can practice the appropriate drills.

Sportsman's Warehouse has a 110 Apex Hunter 308 20 inch for $328 today. Pic shows the old trigger, but the description says accu-trigger. I've tested recent RAR Gen 1 and 2 and Axis II this year, and the Savages are surprisingly better in build quality, and triggers. Unlike the Axis, this appears to be a short action. https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting-gear-gun-supplies/rifles/savage-arms-110-apex-hunter-matte-black-bolt-action-rifle-308-winchester-20in/p/1850053 -
I was new to USPSA shooting a few years ago and started with a CZ Shadow 2 DA/SA. The pistol was better than I was, but the DA/SA action was not difficult to shoot, nor did I feel uncomfortable handling the pistol. The Range Officers are always very helpful. Have fun!

I guess it's the way I set the shot timer, the 5 or more "rounds" are all on one "program". Beep - Draw and shoot two. Reholster - several second pause. Beep - Draw and shoot two. repeat for as many rounds as I programmed it for. For USPSA, I now see where my thinking was wrong, as I'd never reholster a gun with ammo. Just after make ready, and that is not cocked. I do thank you for your help and patience as I try to understand the differences between what I've been using and possibly moving to DA / SA. --- Do you have suggestions for an all metal gun? I plan to look at this at a gun shop in a few weeks, and have heard from at least one person and they do not like the safety. Hence the reason I want to hold it. There are no large gun shops near me, I'll go to Nashville for this which is a couple hours away. https://cz-usa.com/product/cz-shadow-2-orange/

There is no time pressure to reholster. The clock stops on the last shot fired. It may be argued that it’s safer to decock before reholstering but then you must necessarily fire the next drill DA on the first shot. But it’s perfectly ok to put safety on and reholster between shot strings. Not really sure what your specific concern is.
-
Thank you, I guess it was a many part question. Part of what I do on range training is load a magazine, draw and shoot two, then holster, then repeat 5 or more times. I use a shot timer to see if I get better over time. I think this is my biggest concern.

I did not, I just used the prescription straight from the eye doc. -
In USPSA, while holstered, if the hammer is cocked, the safety must be on. If the hammer is decocked, the safety isn’t required to be on (and most pistols aren’t designed to operate that way anyway). If you want to run single action drills from the holster, you’d better get used to using the safety. Reholstering a cocked pistol is a recipe for disaster and you’re likely to have one sooner or later. Personally I always found the CZ safety too awkward to operate so I stuck with other designs.

Did you adjust your prescription at all? I added +0.50 to my Sphere (so from -1.00 to -0.50) for my right eye for better front sight focus on my rifle. Cylinder and Axis (for astigmatism) remained the same. And left eye prescription was unchanged (just without the Add for reading).

Just wait until you can get the RR Gen 2 in 308. I had wait a minute for mine, but I love it. I removed the obnoxious muzzle break and put on a simple birdcage.
