The G43 runs really great for me at BUG matches. It's my every day carry.@fieldgrade
Smallest I have in 9mm is an FNS9c.
It's new to me and don't have many rounds down the pipe yet.
Wife's got a g43 but I can't shoot it worth a darn at this point.
I always bring 150 and have never been short.How many rounds should we bring for this match on Saturday?
Good deal, thanks.I always bring 150 and have never been short.
11:00Good deal, thanks.
The website says 1000 for start time, but now I see that start time is noon. What time should we show up to register?

Remember, this is the annual Day/Night match. We basically shoot a regular six stage match, finish, eat dinner at the food truck that's coming or drive into Benson and eat, return and shoot the same match over, but in the dark with handheld lights. Two matches.I always bring 150 and have never been short.
Won't be able to make the night shoot, but I should have my wife with me this time! Grandma is coming to free her from the kids. Couldn't convince her to shoot it, but it will be nice to have a cheerleader - and a cute one at that!Remember, this is the annual Day/Night match.

You can register to just shoot the day match for $20, or both for $30.

We did this at the Hackathorn Vickers class, where everyone got to shoot their carry ammo one at a time while the rest of us watched in the dark. It was a real education.NChiker is right on the money for a regular match but remember this one it is two matches in one so double up. I’d also take advantage of the night match and bring enough of your every day carry ammo to see the muzzle flash compared to target ammo. It may vary from lot to lot but you’ll get a good idea.

Huh a lot to learn Saturday for sure, getting pumped!My experience from this match last year is you don't need, or really even want a real bright light. I run my Streamlight ProTac 2AA (which is only 250 lumens on high) on the low setting. You don't blind yourself as much. We'll actually shoot two targets with no light. We did this training a couple of weeks ago and I was amazed what one can do in the dark shooting head shots with a handgun they are familiar with
Good as you shoot you can do it with your eyes closed.Huh a lot to learn Saturday for sure, getting pumped!

It depends on how many shooters we have but we'll probably be done around 9:30 or so.
Yes you will draw from concealment. The night match is the same as the day match only it's dark!
You got that right.Very dark! Just remember to take your time especially on the "load and make ready" and "unload and show clear." Things are more complicated when you cannot see clearly. Voice of experience from the night match last year.
A big thanks to @fieldgrade for the great stages yesterday and to all the SOs for working a long day and keeping everyone safe.
I was 21 points down on one of my own stages last night.No wonder he shot the day match down one for the whole match! Insider information.
You all have heard the saying "Don't outrun your headlights" well I did on 1 stage and hit a non-threat because I was shooting too fast.
