USPSA Limited Optics Setup - My full rig along with my Masterpiece Arms DS9 LOC

Published 2024-02-24
In 2023, USPSA announced Limited Optics as a new provisional division to give SAO pistols a home will shooting minor loads. In this video, I discuss my full setup and touch on the Masterpiece Arms DS9 LOC (Limited Optics Competition).

Here’s link to my website if you want more info and details about my setup:

    Great video. Was not aware of the LOC so thank you. I want to see MPA do very well. We need more companies like theirs in this country.
  • @LVbibby
    Great video thanks for the info sweet set up sir! That MPA LOC model looks terrific as well. Great shooting you are burning it down wow!

    I just got and run an MPA DS9 LOC also! The pistol is phenomenal! I went away from my DAA Xip pouches to Henning T900s which will be in the coming week. Running a BSG race holster similar to the Flex you have also…..

    I'd like a rules optimized sao sig x5, a new CZ tacsport, the beretta that seems like its optic moint needs a redesign, and hammer fired Walther to open up LO options.

    Great video dude! I may be looking at an LOC to augment my aluminum DS9, they are so insanely dense the recoil doesnt exist. But like you said the aluminum just moves around better! Im considering fitting a nitro fin and shielded safties to my AL DS9 for kind of a mix between the two.
  • Excellent Excellent videos!.I have a couple questions. I've shot idpa for years and want to try uspsa but at same time want to try the idpa version of this gun.I would like to know if the trigger is just as short in the non loc uspsa version of the ds9 hybrid?Basically between the 2 uspsa models that they offer.I would want to shoot the aluminum grip i think.I would also like to know if the grip in the idpa version is thinner than the uspsa version?.I can definitely tell the mag well in the uspsa model is bigger than the idpa model, but I'm not sure.I am going to be purchasing one of the 2, either idpa or uspsa version I'm not sure yet though. Thanks for the help!.

    Great video. I was very close to ordering a LOC. Ended up ordering a Priest. I don’t think you can go wrong with either of the two. I should have mine done at the end of march just in time for the Texas State Open in April. 🤞

    57 oz? Jeezus, my 76 year old hip could not carry that around for long😆

    I’m currently in Carry Optic with a Beretta 92X Performance. Currently I’m trying to decide between the MPA DS9 LOC that you have and the Laugo Arms Alien Limited Optic Kit. The Alien seems to be a great gun. But the MPA lifetime warranty seems to a good deal too. Plus I heard great things abouts about MPa. Have you tried the Alien by any chance? If you had to decide between Alien and the DS9 would you still choose the DS9 or the Alien?

    My first uspsa match was in limited optics with a Canik Rival -S and I thought I was going to get killed but I actually didn't do to bad considering
  • @SEAKPhotog
    Do you think the improvement in fit you notice with the LOC is model based (e.i. specific to the LOC) or do you think they've improved the fit, etc. across the board?
  • @Sagittariustoo
    The site says the LOC weighs 3 lbs which is 48 ounces. Where do you get the extra 9 ounces for 57 total ounces? Is it the mounting plate and optic?
  • Tbis model is pretty heavy.I called mpa amd had them weigh one that didn't have the nitrofin or steel frame.It was the uspsa model that had the regular slide stop on it.The weight of the gun was between 41 and 42 ounces if that sounds right to you?.That model also had the full length dust cover.
  • @Icabueno
    I have a priest coming and I am ping-ponging with the grip material. Since you have both MPA in alu and steel grips, which one do you like best? I shoot a shadow 2 at the moment and I know you changed from there so I wanted to hear your thoughts
  • @Gabierama
    Do you own two DS9 LOC or just one?
