I am very happy to announce that I came in 4th place at the 2022 Carry Optics Nationals. Every year CO Nats gets hotter and hotter with all the amazing guys that come out and compete.
I am running a CZ Shadow 2, with all Cajun Gun Works innards, Lok grips, Trijicon SRO on top, and a CZC plate system. Double Alpha competition belt, Warrior Poet Society inner belt, Double Alpha mag pouches and magnets, True North Concepts MHA, Safariland QLS system, and a Trex Arm Ragnarok holster.

[@brantleymerriam]

I appreciate it man!

[@bhief473]

Damn, you fast 😳🤙

[@kenbrown873]

Great match! tough break on stage 15, it proved to be a trap for a lot of shooters.

[@mariosmith8456]

What was the penalty for? Seemed to reload in the proper place

[@kenbrown873]

@@mariosmith8456 two extra shots and two extra hits.

[@KrisTheCoach]

good shooting man. Have my first match on sunday.

[@brantleymerriam]

Thanks man. That awesome man, good luck to you.

Hey 👋🏾 bud! We’ve been watch you for some time now. We love all your videos! We see that you have listed what you’re running as it pertains to the pistol. However, do you mind listing the specific internals? I’m wondering 💭 if you’re running the short reach trigger?

[@brantleymerriam]

Hey man, I really appreciate it! I have the full Cajun Gun Works Pro package installed, Lok grips, and the steel CZC optic plate.

[@supermario5]

Fucking rippin'! So sick

[@wmetzler01]

That was not a foot fault on three. At first view its easy to see it is good, replay confirms.

[@ShooterSway]

correct, unfortunately, they don't care about cam footage.

[@TCB3008]

Agree, but it 100% was on 8, so karma worked itself out and he got away with a blatant one..

[@ShooterSway]

@@TCB3008 thought so too

[@mannym.4588]

main spring , recoil spring for competition????????????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@brantleymerriam]

Main spring 12lb, recoil spring 11lbs

[@nicoz8796]

Should I get the Cajun or the CZ Custom upgrade?

[@brantleymerriam]

Cajun Gun Works all day.

[@bhief473]

Can anyone advise me on when to change a recoil spring? 5000 rnds? 10,000? I’m running a 12lb spring on a full size 320 probably between 12-1500 rnds shot

[@brantleymerriam]

Recoil springs are pretty cheap, so I try to replace mine every 15k-20k rounds.

[@jasonglasky7790]

How can you be So fast

[@brantleymerriam]

Lots of dryfire and practice.

[@state3210]

1:52 that looks like 180 break. 😮

[@Matt-xy6cf]

Shadow 2 orange or blue . Ud think orange for the better matched fitting of slide and dust cover and barrel smoothness .

[@brantleymerriam]

Normal Shadow 2 Blue.

[@NobdyInfinite]

2:17 should have been a penalty.

[@mtnbikepluto]

Not even close. Slow the video down, foot was clearly off the ground. So close.. Tie goes to the shooter..

[@NobdyInfinite]

@@mtnbikepluto I guess we just disagree on the situation, additionally Tie does not go to shooter, safety takes priority, boundry boxes are established not only to provide structure to the course but also to ensure that bullets are going where they are suppose to. Shooting outside those boxes should incure penalties.
