Bullseye is a bad comparison, the thread subject is CCW and how competition shooting may affect it, if at all.  Bullseye doesn't apply at all.

I also have the P365x, though I have the Wilson Combat grip module for it.  That has more agressive texturing on the front and back, and a slightly flared magwell (the flaring doesn't make the base wider at all, its largely on the back).  I would say that being able to hold the gun better and insert a new mag faster helps with both competition and EDC scenarios.  

Similarly a red dot helps with sight picture, I believe, and getting a better sight picture faster helps in both competition and EDC.  

Competition guns also used to add weight towads the muzzel to reduce muzzel rise.  I guess my flashlight does that to an extent, but I mostly just have it for target identification purposes.  

I've shot 2 gun and IDPA matches, and if anything I would say that matches with rule sets as old as IDPA have been left behind by the guns on the market.  The ammo capacity and factory features of EDC guns basically clasify them as race guns that IDPA tried to ban when it was founded.  And yet the P365X is undeniably an EDC pistol.  I kind of want to put a threaded barrel and comp on it, but that will make it ineligable to shoot in IDPA.  If I choose to go that route, I'll just switch to a different, more modern pistol match like Steel Challenge.

Overall, I think the desire for more modular guns with easier modifications and extensive aftermarket support could be attributed to competitive shooting, but it makes my EDC pistol better, not worse.  And there are still matches where I can shoot it no matter how much I modify it.

We should probably go ahead and limit automobiles to 30 mph, maybe 20, wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt in case someone misuses them and it would give bad drivers more time to react to road conditions and reduce the severity of accidents.

“Has wanting to be more accurate while shooting faster negatively influenced the situation where you need to shoot fast and accurately?”

Same old same old in every competition shooting thread.

I'm not really contributing much to the topic but.

I know a guy that has appendix carried a full size staccato with an acro every day for the last year.

Nah, homie.  Moving is gaming.

A number of guys here shoot matches AIWB with full size guns.  They don't have any issues.

Me, my gut is a bit much for that LOL.

Notably, no one has defined it yet.

I'm sure the next example will be "well he shot the targets in a different order than everyone else.  Gamer!"

When I shot IDPA, I shot my carry gun, a 1911 CCO.

When I do drills at the range today, it's with my carry gun, a P365XL, even if my focus is rifle drills.

If I got back into competitive pistol shooting, I would probably upsize a bit, but that gun would also become my carry gun at that point.

I can't think of a time in my 40 years of carry and general carry gun familiarity, that a DAO or DA/SA wasn't considered a poor choice.

I *think* OP is referring to carry guns with ports and or comps, optics cuts, and gas pedals.  

Horrible analogy. And completely not true.

Gaming is acting within the rules to do an atypical action that may offer an advantage.

The funny thing is most of those were not legal for non race gun divisions in USPSA and not legal in IDPA , until they became so popular with the Genral gun ow if public, that USPSA and IDPA had to create divisions to allow them (carry optics).

Many manufacturers were making
ported models decades before they made any sense as a competition gun. The G19C had no place in USPSA, except shooting against tuned 2011s. No porting or comps were legal in IDPA for years. Nobody used the Glock C models or Springfield V10s for any mainstream competition.

So… being faster than others.

That’s some of it.

Another method is using loopholes or other things in the rules to shoot a stage in a way that is pretty clearly against the intent of the stage designer, that usually gets an eye roll, but then my answer to that is hey, design the stage so that can’t be done and make the WSB airtight.  It’s that simple.

I have seen some really utterly ridiculous interpretations though, ends up in guys doing something like taking one shot at a plate rack then running up and knocking them down by hand.

MD handed em a big fat zero for the stage

wtf

That is what the MD said.

There have been some really creative rules interpretations I’ve seen over the last couple years of shooting USPSA.

Usually those interpretations end up with a rules clarification from NROI

I can show you about 100 OIS videos on yt that have all of the targets plainly visible before the shooting starts for up to minutes.

Stage planning is simply learning to solve a problem with a gun. Even if it's an untimed exercise (you get 4 minutes at majors), there is benefit.

I'm going to shoot my local AIWB with a 34 this weekend bc of this thread.
