Match conditions mandated backup guns only (BUG), so everyone had their little Kahr's, snubbies, and mini-Glocks.
Short barrels and low light are great equalizers.
One string reguired totally blacking out the range and starting without having your gun in hand, having to reach for it in the dark, turning on your flashlight and shooting while being timed.
All my practice with my snubose .38 Agent paid off, and I shot really well for my first night match. I guess I was "point shooting" because with my eyesight and the light conditions I wasn't clearly focusing on my front "sight" or whatever Colt calls that little bump on the end of a snub barrel.
Of course, I'm new to match shooting but I have been carrying and shooting a snub for several years now. The trigger action seems to be the most important factor in how well I shoot a D frame. The lightness and smoothness make it a joy to shoot.
Very practical match since all these nightstand guns and pocket guns rarely get shot in lowlight or no light conditions.
Really FUN match to shoot, too!
