They're referring to the recoil spring.

At the PA State Championship IDPA match last month, the guy who placed 2nd overall in CDP (IDPA's .45 1911 category) was using an STI Spartan with a Dawnson Precision magwell, and some very light gunsmithing. He mentioned he had spent probably $700 for pistol, accessories, and trigger work. Seemed like a pretty good deal for a gun that didn't jam, had an excellent trigger and ate everything he put in it. Food for thought, with regards to cheap 1911's not being competition-worthy.

Should probably weld it too, just to ensure NJ compliance.

Or a wife's.

I might try and make it out to this, what's the cost for non-members? Also, the part about the relays confused me. Being a first timer (to PPC, not competitive shooting), what would be expected of me exactly?

Wow. I walked in expecting a knock-down drag-out war and left 7 minutes later with a renewed P2P. I suppose it does make sense since it didn't go directly through the chief, so he didn't have the opportunity to give and enforce his personal opinion per usual. Oh boy, new gun day!

NICK I MUST HAVE MORE DEALZ KEEP THEM COMING

What are you replacing it with?

Heading out to vote and then renew my permits, I'll report back!

Hello friends. I have two PP's that were issued on 5/24/11. Obviously they are now expired, just as I find a pistol I'd like to purchase. 180 days from 5/24 is roughly 8/24, so extending them would've set them to expire at 11/24. Any thoughts on whether or not PD's will renew this late in the game? I know some will renew only if they aren't expired yet, although it seems like it would be the same time period either way. Then again that makes sense, so it's probably not an option. Thoughts?

RIA Tactical, STI Spartan, and basic Springfield's are all fairly good values at reasonable (for a 1911) prices.

I'll certainly be at Somerset, myself and a few others are supposed to RO part of the match to complete our certification. Hopefully I'll make it to CJRPC also!

No offense taken, and I agree with you. My issue is that I just don't have enough loaded at the moment. I shot most of my "reserve" and haven't had time to crank out a whole lot (Lee Classic Turret, not slow but certainly not a progressive). I have the components for quite a few rounds, but few actual rounds. Cardinal sin I know. I had a small brain fart and forgot that what the GF says is NOT what the GF means. Hope you all had a good time, hope to make it out next month.

Awesome. How much ammo should I bring? Roughly.

Ahh damn. I wanted to shoot my first USPSA match tomorrow (gf let me off the hook) but I didn't know in time to pre register. Good luck guys, hopefully I'll see you next month!

I have a feeling any day now "Potential to cause excessive joy" will become an evil feature.

It's fun to take the armchair general moral high ground and say the cops all have a choice. They certainly do have the option of refusing to follow orders, but: 1. This isn't Nazi Germany, no one is being systematically murdered. The orders the cops are given are the same one's that have been around for 100 years. People are breaking the law, so police are needed to enforce the law. This isn't a sinister icy corporation silencing free speech, these people don't know what their message is and are breaking the law trying to make this convoluted message heard. The protester's, however righteous (they think) their cause is, are still breaking the law and affecting other citizens who may even agree with their cause but think they're going about it in the wrong matter. 2. Refusing orders means no job. While you may have won the moral battle, you've lost the war. You are out a job, income, food for the family, and the chance to rise up in the ranks and actually change things. Moral victory can come at a high cost, and in this case the cost simply isn't worth it.

Raz won. Good info.

It seems there are a few gaping holes in your collection (and in all of ours). A single action revolver, a BP revolver, a 22 target pistol i.e. Ruger MKII/III, a hammer driven wonder-nine i.e. HK/Sig/CZ, a CCW pistol, a revolver cut for moon-clips, something absurd just for sh*ts and giggles i.e. Desert Eagle in .50AE or S&W 500mag, an IPSC/USPSA type open gun, Limited gun, a pistol chambered in something stupid i.e. Five-seveN, a revolver with unneeded changes i.e. Chiappa Rhino, a single-shot pistol i.e. Encore, a flintlock-kit (can we have these?), something historical i.e. service 1911 or luger. Not all of these are suggestions for guns I think you SHOULD have, just other options. Since you mentioned Nov 1 as the next purchase date I'm assuming you meant handguns. I'm sure there are tons more, but I have to go to class, good luck!

Ahh I forgot we're 226 buddies! Yeah gonna have to crank some out before tomorrow morning, I'll take this small gamble. Wouldn't want to ask you to trade with me on your friday night, though I do appreciate it. Tx man. What's the load if I may ask?

Yep did last night. Phew. I shot 30 rounds, all DA and they were perfect. My next challenge is guessing how many grains of Bullseye will make PF. I was supposed to meet someone a few days ago to chrono some loads, but it fell through. Good lord I have problems(caused by myself). Only have Bullseye on hand. I figure 4.4 grains will be enough. 124gr MG JHP, Federal SPP's, mostly federal brass loaded to 1.15" OAL. 4.4 inch barrel. Obviously no one can predict exact results based on numbers alone, but does that sound like enough to make PF?

You definitely have to begin hammer down, but according to Tom Richards you can thumb the hammer back after you draw and are on target. Going to test the Fed's out today!

I don't think that's correct, it just slows you down to thumb the hammer back. Anyway, thanks so much to everyone who offered to help! I stopped by Ramsey Outdoor's in Succasuna and bought some Federal SPP's. I'll test them out tomorrow, hopefully they will solve my problem.

Les Baer's will be creeping in around that price range, they've gone up in price over the years but were and still are a great value.

This is going to be hilarious, they've just ruined themselves. Do they think the NYSE is something that would be anything but extremely well protected? In writing that they're going to do something and then not following through they'll look even dumber.
