2024 USPSA Limited Optics Nationals - 4th place - Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS - Trijicon SRO - Trex Arms

[@douglasmoore8033]

Stock 17 with 124 blazer brass. 4th at Nats. Absolutely stellar! The one handed makeup was phenomenal!

[@swiftaudi]

How does Glock not have their eyes on you? Their team consists of mostly unknown shooters that are probably better know for… never mind. Congrats, you are killing it.

@@Henderson_A17 Team Glock had the LO lady's champ and the Production 1st and 2nd lady. But I agree they should be talking to Brantley.

Well at least Trex took him up. That’s how I found him lol. Brantley is legit! I aspire to be half as good as him with my MR920 combat lol

[@_isaacking]

Man, that is a hell of a performance against a very legit field. Aweskme job. The 3 guys in front of you are lucky those poppers hated you on day 1...

[@brantleymerriam]

Lol, those popper were kicking my butt.... gonna be hitting them harder in practice.

[@USPSA_Florida_Man]

Stage 10 make up on steel SHO..absolutely insane 🔥

[@brantleymerriam]

Thanks man! It wasn't ideal, but at least it looked cool for the interwebs

[@wcw2793]

Awesome job bro! Especially hitting that mini popper strong hand only!

[@chap23305]

This guy just shoots. Great job man, keep this up. The uploads are appreciated.

[@brantleymerriam]

Much appreciated man. I'll keep them coming.

[@ralphrodriguez3416]

You have come a long way in a very short period of time!! I see you winning Nat's real soon.

[@brantleymerriam]

Thanks man!

[@nyrangeguy3194]

Absolutely incredible runs. You have some serious talent. And speed. Hope Lucas has a budget for new shoes every match.

[@MCToolhead]

Holy cow, that footwork! Especially stage 7

[@pawelpaluszynski6279]

Excellent shooting! Fast and smooth! Congrats!

[@kagyu1]

Damn dude. Nice work. Hard work pays off. Congrats !

[@soapandcod]

Best glock dot shooter in the US, Great job bro!!!

[@brantleymerriam]

Thanks man!

[@SSPshooter72]

Wow, another incredible finish. Nice shooting Brantley.

[@mohamadsamula7962]

Sir, can I ask what trigger you have or what trigger you can use for carry and shotting?

[@Henderson_A17]

Stage 8 was nasty. And that make up on 10 👌🏻

[@SmileyShoots]

Burned it down! What modifications to your gear had you in Limited vs. Carry optics?

Hey Brantley, are you running stock guide rods in Thing 1 & Thing 2?

[@brantleymerriam]

Yep, I keep everything in the slides stock.

[@kylehill4437]

Hi Brantley, Any particular reason why you dont shoot a heavier weight like 147g or 150g? Just discovered your content youre very talented.

[@brantleymerriam]

I like the recoil of a 147gr or 124 gr the best. It has a very smooth recoil impulse. I found some quality 124gr for a great price so that's what I'm shooting here.

[@patrikjakube3615]

amazing performance with the glock 17, it's been a long time since we've seen such a good shooter with a Glock.. I am very pleased that an excellent shooter has appeared again, capable of shooting with a Glock at such a high level.. keep going.. btw.. what trigger or connector do you use?

[@joshuawood8746]

Where are the standings for the nationals cuz the results on USPSA web sight says you came in 38th and Isaac Lockwood said he came in 11th but online says he came in 62nd?

[@kampaiii]

What pistol are you shooting with?

[@brantleymerriam]

Glock 17

[@kampaiii]

@@brantleymerriam did you mod anything on the Glock?

[@Gunomics]

Awesome job brother. I’m wondering how much faster you could go with a race gun such as the Spitfire or any of the high end race guns. Have you tried?

[@SoxOnDMoon]

Brantley, I noticed Limited is very largely dominated by .40, while you, Max Leograndis, K.C., Jacob H., and Christian Sailer all shot 9mm in L.O. and crushed it. Why do you think the caliber of choice changes between the 2 divisions? Do you think it’s the feedback you get from the dot that allows you to shot call better, hence using 9mm? Just a student of the game trying to learn as much as possible.

[@karlcain1068]

Limited Optics is 9mm/minor only

[@SoxOnDMoon]

@@karlcain1068 LOL go figure 😂 note to self: it’s not that deep p.s. - thank you!

[@thatglockguy17]

Great job. Amazing work. Wouls you mind sharing the specs/mods on you g17?

[@brantleymerriam]

Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS, Tactical Trigger drop in kit, Trijicon SRO, and a grip plug. Every thing else is stock

[@emilianoguillen2666]

Hell yeah. 💪 its the Indian people. Phenomenal stuff! 👍👍

[@carlosrodriguez-wh2uf]

Awesome shooting, bullet weight?

[@brantleymerriam]

124 Blazer Brass 9mm

[@douglasmoore8033]

​@brantleymerriam I'm just laughing at the fact you shoot a stock 17 with Blazer brass blammo and got in a fight with multiple poppers and took 4th!! Fantastic skills and performance 👏 Looking forward to more uploads. Thank you and continued success!!

[@dezertsky7677]

Stage 10 make up was nice, but that guy standing next to that target was too close for comfort 😂 Nice job Brantley

[@coolgr3y997]

Man, this makes me want to sell the S2 and go back to a Glock lol amazing

[@brantleymerriam]

Do it.

[@a2tactical]

Keep it up!

[@armorers_wrench]

You gonna ever try any other kinds of matches?

[@brantleymerriam]

Like what?

[@joelbrown2427]

Awesome job, and from the looks of it, you competed with the EXACT same gun you shot CO nationials with. At CO, you were 95.68% of the leader, and at LO, you were 94.97% of the leader. It seems that it's the indian, not the arrow. Did you have any emitter issues with the heavy rain?

[@dyedm6]

that is what a lot of proper people preach....stick to one platform and get gooood. Don't keep changing around... learn to shoot. Fundamentals are fundamentals. 2011 might mask it a bit, but until you have a strong understanding and baseline, you won't see performance benefit on your scores.

[@D-dogtactical734]

Ur the only guy in that division not crying about their gun getting wet me included lol nice runs!

[@mymainelogcabin]

Hardcore!!! 👍👍

[@MemphisBeech]

3:06 That’s fuckin’ absurd!! 😂😂😂

[@Ayoder89]

With a Glock 17? So bad ass!! You may have covered this in other vids but do you do much or anything to the gun? Springs, trigger, frame?

[@swiftaudi]

He covered it very recently but not on this channel I think on the t rex channel.

[@brantleymerriam]

All I add is a Tactical Trigger drop in kit, Trijicon SRO, and a grip plug. Every thing else is stock

[@True_Patriotx]

Nice!

[@IzanReality]

Ooof. Stage reset looks like a nightmare. The one thing I hate about competitive shooting….

[@IterativeOptimization]

steel seems to be the thing for you this match :( But that makeup shot at around 3:03 was sick!!!

[@brantleymerriam]

Yea, the steel defiantly beat up on me pretty good. I'm gonna go back and see how many seconds and wasted shots I spent missing them. Then I'm going to dedicate a lot of practice to them.

[@IterativeOptimization]

​@@brantleymerriam always admired your mindset!

[@user-vv9lr2rw5d]

Holy shit that guy at 3:11 was in a terrible spot, I’m guessing it’s mildly exaggerated by the camera but even still there should be more offset between a target and where anybody is allowed to stand during a stage being shot

[@brantleymerriam]

The hat cam make it look worse, However I personally probably wouldn't stand there if I was an RO.
