Sorry for the multiple post. It didn't go through at first.

Yes the Shadow 2 is too heavy for IDPA. The limit is 43oz and the Shadow 2 weights 46.5oz. To shoot in IDPA I would recommend the CZ Custom Shop CZ 75 SP01 Custom (SKU91030) which can be shot in Production and ESP Divisions. You could also look at the CZ Custom Shop CZ 75 SP01 Accu Shadow (SKU91730) which can be used in ESP Division only. Both guns can be used in USPSA Production.

Just a heads up. GilbertsGuns is out of stock at this time, but their price is $499.99 for the gun. https://www.gilbertsguns.com/sig-p365-9mm-pistol-with-3-1-barrel-night-sights-2-10-round-magazines.html

DEGUNS has the standard magazine for $44.99. https://www.deguns.net/searchresults.asp?Search=Sig+Sauer+P365+9mm+Nitron&Submit=

They must have sold out already. I just went to Bud's and they show out of stock.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/bank-of-america-to-stop-lending-money-to-makers-of-assault-rifles/ar-AAvJ0Ah "I guess my Bass Pro Credit Card from Bank of America will end" Bank of America Corp. said Tuesday that it will no longer lend money to companies that manufacture military-style assault weapons for civilian use, in the hopes the move will contribute to a reduction in the number of mass shootings nationwide. Anne Finucane, Bank of America’s vice chairman, said in an interview on Bloomberg TV that the bank has notified the handful of gun manufacturers it does business with about the decision. It would not name the companies affected by the decision. “We want to contribute in any way we can to reduce these mass shootings — it’s such a tragedy in the United States,” Finucane said. “We do have a few manufacturers of military-style firearms . . . We have let them know that it’s not our intent to underwrite or finance military-style firearms on a go-forward basis.” When asked whether the bank also would stop doing business with retailers that sell assault weapons, Finucane said it would involve complicated issues related to civil liberties and the Second Amendment. “That’s a good public dialogue, that’s a ways off,” she said. Reaction from gun manufacturers that do business with Bank of America was “mixed,” Finucane said. “Let’s just leave it at that,” she said. In late February — not long after the shootings that left 17 people dead at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. — Bank of America asked gun makers that sell assault rifles to come up with suggestions for preventing such incidents. “An immediate step we’re taking is to engage the limited number of clients we have that manufacture assault weapons for non-military use to understand what they can contribute to this shared responsibility,” the Charlotte, N.C.-based bank said in a statement at the time.

For your information if you are interested in competition shooting you can shoot USPSA, IDPA, Steel Challenge, and 3-Gun at MSSA even though you are not a member of the club. Non members are charged $12 to shoot the match.

Totally Agree!!!!!

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/illinois-town-votes-to-ban-assault-rifles-fine-violators-1000-per-day/ The mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida has once again ignited the public debate around assault weapons and large capacity magazines. And while no sweeping gun control laws have been enacted at the federal level, one town in Illinois is taking matters into its own hands. The Chicago suburb of Deerfield, Illinois voted on Monday to ban the possession, sale, and manufacture of assault weapons and large capacity magazines to "increase the public's sense of safety." What's more, CBS Chicago reports, anyone refusing to give up their banned firearm will be fined $1,000 a day until the weapon is handed over or removed from the town's limits. The ordinance states, "The possession, manufacture and sale of assault weapons in the Village of Deerfield is not reasonably necessary to protect an individual's right of self-defense or the preservation or efficiency of a well-regulated militia." So, beginning June 13, banned assault weapons in Deerfield will include semiautomatic rifles with a fixed magazine and a capacity to hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, shotguns with revolving cylinders, and conversion kits from which assault weapons can be assembled. And those are just a few of the firearm varieties banned. The list is long and includes all the following models or duplicates thereof: AK, AKM, AKS, AK-47, AK-74, ARM, MAK90, Misr, NHM 90, NHM 91, SA 85, SA 93, VEPR, AR-10, AR-15, Bushmaster XM15, Armalite M15, Olympic Arms PCR, AR70, Calico Liberty, Dragunov SVD Sniper Rifle, Dragunov SVU, Fabrique NationalFN/FAL, FN/LAR, FNC, Hi-Point Carbine, HK-91, Kel-Tec Sub Rifle, SAR-8, Sturm, Ruger Mini-14, and more. Antique handguns that have been rendered permanently inoperable and weapons designed for Olympic target shooting events are exempt, as are retired police officers. "We hope that our local decision helps spur state and national leaders to take steps to make our communities safer," Deerfield Mayor Harriet Rosenthal said in a press release, after the ban on assault weapons passed unanimously. The nearby suburb of Highland Park passed a similar ban in 2013, which was contested as unconstitutional by one of the city's residents and the Illinois State Rifle Association. Ultimately, however, the ordinance was upheld in court.

Published April 05, 2018 FoxNews.com Students in Colorado who support the Second Amendment staged their own walkout Wednesday, in an effort to counter the pro-gun control rallies taking place across the nation following the deadly shooting at a Florida high school in February. Students at Woodland Park High School, an hour north of Pike’s Peak, began the 30-minute pro-Second Amendment rally with a moment of silence for victims of past school shootings. “I don’t believe that guns are the problem,” said student Haley Armstead. “I think it's more of the people and that people are trying to blame an inanimate object for something that's not them.” Another student, Christian Garcia, told FOX 21 more armed officers and trained teachers would “stop” or “prevent” further school shootings. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PLAN PRO-LIFE WALKOUT AFTER GUN DEBATE While student-organized and with no affiliation to the high school, the school district did allow the students to walk out and provided increased security through the police department. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/04/05/colorado-students-feeling-silenced-by-pro-gun-control-activists-hold-second-amendment-rally.html The rally comes days after students in Central Florida organized a similar protest in support of the Second Amendment after they felt silenced when the movement to honor the Parkland shooting victims turned political. “I’m pro-Second Amendment,” Rockledge High School junior and protest organizer Anna Delaney told WFTV. "I wouldn’t mind deeper background checks, of course, but the Second Amendment will not be infringed upon.” PARKLAND SURVIVOR KYLE KUSHAV ON MEETING TRUMP, HIS APP TO PREVENT ANOTHER SCHOOL SHOOTING Students walked onto the school’s track carrying the American flag and holding signs that read “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” and “I support the right to bear arms.” Another student said he participated to show that not all students are for gun control. “It’s all over the news right now that all students hate guns,” Zachary Schneider said. “I wanted to show that not all students feel that way.” Nikolas Cruz opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., on February 14, killing 17 and injuring another 17 people. Last month he was indicted on more than a dozen counts of murder. In the weeks following the shooting, students across the country held a National Walkout Day, pushing for stricter gun laws. Nearly two weeks ago, thousands of people across the country held the “March for Our Lives” rally sponsored by the survivors of the Parkland school shooting.

I shoot USPSA PCC division with a JP Enterprise GMR-15. This may be the best overall 9mm rifle out there. I have 2571 rounds through mine at this point without any issues. There are two models of the JP and they are the GMR-15 which locks back on the last round or the GMR-13 which does not lock back on the last round. You can also get the JP with a side charger handle, but that is an extra $600 option. I purchased mine from Shooters Connection for $1811.00. They are a little pricey but will worth the money. Others I have seen work well are the Sig MPX models and the CZ Scorpion EVO from the CZ Custom shop. A new one on the market, but I have not see in action is the MBX Pro Series PPC Rifle. Shooters Connection just put three of these on their website today.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/31/gun-rights-activists-hand-out-high-capacity-magazines-at-vermont-rally.html Published March 31, 2018 FoxNews.com Gun rights activists were handing out high-capacity magazines at a rally outside the Vermont State House on Saturday to protest new legislation that would ban them and increase gun control in the state. Hundreds of protesters gathered to urge Republican Gov. Phil Scott not to sign a new bill that would ban high-capacity magazines and bump stocks, expand background checks for private gun sales and raise the legal age for gun purchases. The measure was approved by the State House earlier this week and then again by the Senate on Friday in a 17-13 vote. Protesters were handed nearly 1,200 high-capacity magazines, which hold 30 rounds of ammunition. A standard-capacity magazine holds around 10 rounds, according to Congressionalsportsmen.org, though this can vary. OUTCRY FROM GUN ADVOCATES AFTER YOUTUBE BLOCKS VIDEOS ON FIREARMS ASSEMBLY, SALE If the bill is signed by Scott, those who already own high-capacity magazines will be allowed to keep them. Scott has indicated that he intends to sign the bill, and though he understands the disappointment of some in Vermont, he has faith that they will “get accustomed to the new normal.” “I think at the end of the day," he said, "they’ll soon learn that what we have proposed, what’s being passed at this time, doesn’t intrude upon the Second Amendment. It doesn’t take away guns, and I believe that we will get accustomed to the new normal, which is trying to address this underlying violence that we are seeing across the nation.” The extensive gun legislation package came after the Parkland, Fla., school shooting on Feb. 14, in which 17 people were killed by a young gunman.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/justice-department-to-ban-bump-stocks/ar-BBKCqeI?li=BBnb7Kz The Justice Department is proposing rule changes that will effectively ban bump stocks, devices that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire like a machine gun, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said on Friday. "After the senseless attack in Las Vegas, this proposed rule is a critical step in our effort to reduce the threat of gun violence that is in keeping with the Constitution and the laws passed by Congress," Sessions said in a statement. Sessions has been a defender of the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment, which protects the right to bear arms. Gunman Stephen Paddock used a bump stock in a massacre last October that killed 58 people and wounded hundreds of others at a music festival in Las Vegas. Authorities said Paddock’s ability to fire hundreds of rounds per minute over a 10-minute period from his 32nd-floor hotel suite was a major factor in the high casualty count. In February, President Donald Trump signed a memorandum directing the Justice Department to make the regulatory change. "As I promised, today the Department of Justice will issue the rule banning BUMP STOCKS with a mandated comment period," Trump said on Twitter as the announcement was made. "We will BAN all devices that turn legal weapons into illegal machine guns." The National Rifle Association, the most powerful U.S. gun lobby, supported more regulation of bump stocks but has not endorsed Trump's ban and said previously it was awaiting the publication of the regulation before rendering judgment. The Justice Department announcement comes as hundreds of thousands of Americans are expected to rally nationwide on Saturday for tighter gun laws in "March For Our Lives" protests led by survivors of the Florida school massacre, which reiginited the debate over Americans' access to guns. Students from the Parkland, Florida, high school where 17 students and staff were killed on Feb. 14 will be among the 500,000 people who organizers say could rally on Pennsylvania Avenue near the Capitol in Washington.

http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2018/03/21/outcry-from-gun-advocates-after-youtube-blocks-videos-on-firearms-assembly-sale.html Published March 21, 2018 FoxNews.com YouTube has announced that it now will be implementing restrictions on certain videos that feature firearms and accessories, sparking backlash from Second Amendment advocates. YouTube recently updated the company’s “policies on content featuring firearms” to prohibit “any video intending to “sell firearms or certain firearm accessories,” either directly or through links to sites that do. According to the website, the prohibited accessories include “but may not be limited to” bump stocks, Gatling triggers, drop-in auto sears, conversion kits or any equipment that might “enable a firearm to simulate automatic fire or convert a firearm to automatic fire.” It also mentioned that content intending to promote the sale of high-capacity magazines no longer will be allowed. In addition to these types of videos, YouTube also will prohibit any video that “provides instructions on manufacturing” the previously mentioned firearms and accessories. Videos explaining how to install those accessories or gun modifications also will be banned. Advocates for gun rights have slammed the media giant’s attempt to restrict content. The National Shooting Sports Foundation, which has more than 200,000 subscribers on its YouTube channel, said the new policy “provides cause for concern.” In a statement on its website, NSSF said that move is “especially worrisome,” because it has the “potential for blocking educational content that serves an instructional and skill-building purpose.” The statement went on to say that such restrictions “impinge on the Second Amendment,” and stifle “commercial free speech,” which is protected under the Constitution. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT PROPOSES BAN ON BUMP STOCK ATTACHTMENTS TO RIFLES Another popular channel, Spikes Tactical, said in an Instagram post Tuesday that it had its account suspended for “repeated or severe violations” of the community guidelines. The notice of suspension was posted with the caption, “the Liberal Left will slowly chip away at our freedoms and erode our rights, and the first step is to squelch our voice.” Spikes Tactical has a following of more than 200,000 on Instagram as well. A statement from a spokesperson at YouTube said the company “routinely makes updates an adjustments” for all policies, Bloomberg reported. “While we’ve long prohibited the sale of firearms, we recently notified creators of updates we will be making around content promoting the sale or manufacture of firearms and their accessories.” The call for more restrictions comes just days before the March For Our Lives rally, which was organized by the survivors of the Parkland massacre where 17 students were killed after an alleged 19-year-old gunman opened fire.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/house-passes-school-safety-bill-but-unlikely-to-take-more-action-on-guns/ar-BBKdzpa?li=BBnb7Kz It’s not quite one and done, but the bill the House passed Wednesday to provide grants for schools to implement safety protocols and training is likely the last action GOP leaders will take this Congress in response to a recent spate of mass shootings. The House passed, 407-10, a bipartisan measure by Florida Republican John Rutherford called the Student, Teacher’s Officer’s Prevention (STOP) School Violence Act. The bill would authorize $50 million in grant funding for schools to conduct training to prevent student violence, set up anonymous reporting systems for threats and implement other safety protocols. The bill does not appropriate the $50 million, but some of those funds could be included in the upcoming fiscal 2018 omnibus spending bill or fiscal 2019 appropriations measures. “The best way to keep our students and teachers safe is to give them the tools and the training to recognize the warning signs to prevent violence from ever entering our school grounds,” Rutherford said. “And this bill aims to do just that.” House GOP leaders signaled that they have no plans to pass any more legislation to address mass shootings. “It will not be the only bill, because in the Senate we also have the work that this House did back in December, the National Instant Criminal Background Check,” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said, referring to a measure called Fix NICS designed to strengthen existing reporting requirements to the background check system. That measure was crafted as a response to the mass shooting at a Texas church in which the gunman had a history of domestic violence that the military was aware of but did not report to NICS. A Senate version of that bill has enough support to pass, based on the more than 60 senators who have signed on as co-sponsors. But the House version includes a provision to allow people with concealed carry permits to carry to their guns across state lines that would prevent it from passing in the Senate. Nonetheless, House GOP leaders continue to point to the Senate as the place for further action. “We sent legislation to the Senate in December. Hopefully the Senate can act on that legislation,” Speaker Paul D. Ryan said Wednesday before the vote. “In the meantime, we believe that we can make great progress on the Stop School Violence Act, which we’re passing today.” Republicans’ touted the school safety grants and background check reporting measures as a sign of their party’s interest in stopping gun violence on the same day that students from across the country organized a walk-out to call attention to the topic. Local students gathered on the West Front of the Capitol with Democratic lawmakers to demand Congress do more to prevent gun violence, like passing a more comprehensive background checks measure that would ensure people purchasing firearms online or at gun shows are subject to the same review as those purchasing in stores. “You know this Republican-controlled Congress has lost its way when we have high school students out on the steps begging Republicans to stop sitting on their hands and do something — do something productive,” Rep. Linda Sanchez, vice chairwoman of the Democratic Caucus, said after the walk-out. The California Democrat called the bill the House passed Wednesday “a step in the right direction” but said it is not gun violence prevention. “That alone is not going to prevent the death toll from rising,” Sanchez said.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/11/trump-wh-expected-to-support-raising-minimum-age-to-buy-long-guns.html Published March 11, 2018 FoxNews.com President Trump is set to announce recommendations Sunday night on stopping school shootings that will include calls to increase the minimum age for buying long guns to 21, Fox News has learned. Trump also is expected to support allowing school faculty and staff to be trained to carry and use a weapon, and banning bump stocks -- attachments that essentially enable long-barreled guns to fire bullets at a quicker rate. The recommendations are expected to be announced nearly a month after the mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla., in which 17 students and staff were killed. The president is also expected to support a congressional measure, known as Fix NICS, that helps local officials improve efforts to enter data into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System and the congressional STOP School Violence Act to improve school security and provide some funding for such efforts. White House spokesman Raj Shah said early Sunday that the president would not advocate "universal" background checks, but instead would reiterate his support for the bill that promotes better information-sharing. The president also is expected to convene a task force to further study the issue. “Some (proposals) will be legislative, some will be administrative,” Shah told ABC News’ “This Week.” “And some will be recommendations for states, as well as a task force to study this issue in more depth and make more additional policy recommendations. So it's going to be consistent with what the president has talked about.” In the weeks since the massacre, Trump has held listening sessions with lawmakers, survivors of recent school shootings and the families of victims. He's also met and spoken with the heads of the powerful National Rifle Association. The NRA on Friday sued Florida over a new gun law signed by Republican Gov. Rick Scott that bans the purchase of firearms by anyone under the age of 21. During those meetings, Trump advocated arming certain teachers and school staffers, arguing that gun-free schools were "like an invitation for these very sick people" to commit murder. "If you had a teacher who was adept at firearms, they could end the attack very quickly," he has said. During the often free-wheeling conversations, Trump also seemed to voice support for "universal" background checks, which would apply to private gun sales and those at gun shows, instead of just from licensed dealers. He also raised eyebrows by suggesting that law enforcement officials should be able to confiscate guns from those they deem a safety risk even before a court has weighed in. "Take the guns first, go through due process second," Trump said. Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, later walked back both suggestions, saying, "Universal means something different to a lot of people." She said the president wanted to expedite the court process, not circumvent it. The NICS bill would penalize federal agencies that don't properly report required records, and reward states that comply by providing them with federal grant preferences. The bill was written in response to a shooting last November by a gunman whose domestic violence conviction the Air Force failed to report to the National Criminal Information Center database. It has already passed the House, but as part of large bill that allows conceal-carry permits to be valid across state lines. The White House also has supported a bill that would create a federal grant program to train students, teachers and school officials on how to identify signs of potential violence and intervene early. And, the Justice Department has been moving forward with the push to ban bump stocks.
