I'm registered shooting single stack 4 8 round mags two 7 and two two mag pouches should be good right that gives me 39 rounds for a stage actully 40 if I start with one in the pipe can't wait first match will be there early for the safety meeting

 

.45 1911 mags? Maybe somebody can chime and and lend you one or 2 for the match.

 

stage counts vary, if you cut yourself that close with round count though you might have problems if you miss ( like me ) last time they had a bunch of small steel targets pretty far away that were tough to hit.

I always keep my .45 mags in my range bag. They're 8 rounders so, Mikey you can borrow them if you need to. I also have pouches if you need to use them.

Guys, what do I need for this event, never did one before. What is the typical round count per stage. Gotta make some moonclip holders to hang on my belt. I'm borrowing Crazy Mikes idea and will make my own, just need to know how many I will need. I miss a lot, wanna make sure I don't run out of ammo!

By the rules max round count per stage is 32. Given lots of stages are not revolver friendly, optimal strategy may require dumping some loaded rounds on the move.

Mike, if you're going to make up a holder like the 4 post holders that hold 2 or 3 moon-clips on each post you should be good with 8 moon-clips loaded. I was thinking and forgot to mention it, if you didn't have that done for the match, what about a shot-shell holders bag on your side, moon-clip wouldn't bel all nice and neat facing the same direction, but better than pockets and what not.

 

As far as the match, I could swear we have shot OBRAMS together, and I know you shot the Indoor USPSA light on Friday nights before, so while you may have not shot a USPSA match, it's the same as these. Just take your time, focus on safety and having a good time like you always do.

Yep, have done OBRAMS several times plus I did a few of the USPSA Friday night deal at OBRPC plus...........I did the classifier last year and have my hard-earned D rating!

 

Good thinking with the shot shell holder, have plenty of those! I'll try to make moon clip holders anyway.

 

I'll try not to "Nick-it" and shoot at the rocks. ;)

Harry, I can't make this weekend but am going to try to make one of the Friday night matches.

 

Can you tell me what a moon clip holder is, or how to make one.

 

I also need a holster and belt.

 

Ugh. I stopped boating and fishing due to the time and expense. Silly me.

A moonclip holder is for a revolver that fires rimless cartridges. You don't have to worry about that with your Beretta.

 

Here are loaded and unloaded moonclips and what I use to transport them in my range bag.

Adios,

That is nice Bob. I have 21 moonclips loaded and sitting inside a cigar box! Built a couple of moonclip holders and mounted them to my belt. Gotta take a picture of this fabulous creation, but only if it works tomorrow!

Holy my, this will be my first match in a month. lol Actually, first time shooting a gun in a month.

 

just realized I am nearly out of 40 cal. Time to see if I can find some around.

 

If I hadn't gotten out to obrams, it'd be the first match I got to shoot in 2.5 months.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By leahcim · Posted

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
