Looking to start in USPSA, have some questions

The B series cz75s have a firing pin block so the firing pin cannot move unless the trigger is pulled. I dont know about the class issue...I say shoot a class that allows you to function like you were carrying the gun as ccw. The rest is a waste of time IMHO

Correct---since it could be either way, the choice being made has to do with what division it is in. (Not class. :) In USPSA, "class" means something else.) In Production division, the start would require hammer down. If shot in Limited, starting cocked and locked would be perfectly legal.
bkoenig:
I think pistol whipping the target should be an option. The CZ is certainly heavy enough to be used as an impact weapon :)
OnTheFly:
There are two reasons why I like to shoot Production division...
1) I'm not competing against others who have spent considerably more modifying their gun than I am able to. Specifically, external modifications which would provide an advantage over others shooting a more stock pistol.
2) Right now I see myself as more of a fundamentalist action shooter. While I don't fault anyone for shooting in the division they so desire (and some day I may branch out to other divisions), I think of the Production division as requiring the most skill due to the lack of advanced equipment. No red dot sights or gigantic funnels attached to the mag well. You are forced to have the fundamentals down pat to excel. It is more (I know it is not the same thing) of what it would take to survive an attack where you had to use your carry gun.
To each his/her own though.

Production division is an excellent division to shoot in and start in. It is all scored "minor" so the 9mm is not a disadvantage at all.
Some of us have moved out of production for various reasons, and it is all good fun. Nobody will fault you for any division you decide to shoot. The only time you'll get flack is if you aren't safe - then you get LOTS of flack - and DQ'd. :)
Come join the fun!

Well, you will also get flack if you move to Open division, because Open shooters deserve it.
