Old Bridge USPSA 6-24-12

It would be easier if you told us what gun you wanted to shoot, and we could specify where you could compete with it.

 

I was kinda just hoping to see what all you guys where running.

 

I'd shoot a 1911 so mine's easy -- single stack

1911 would be single stack, and you could shoot major or minor power factor. With minor, you can shoot with 10rd magazines, major would be 8rd mags. Major power factor is defined as weight of the bullet multiplied by velocity equals more than 165,000.

 

The 1911 could also be used in Limited-10, both major or minor power factor, and would be 10-rd mags for both.

 

I was shooting my HK USP9 in Production, which requires first shot to be in double action. If I chose to shoot the first round in single action(safety on), I would have to shoot in Limited or Limited-10.

Well, in your defense, that thing went into warp speed after you shot a couple plates off it and kept on gaining speed with every plate you cleared! lol

 

But thats what going to happen if you keep shooting the bottom plates so let that be a lesson to you. ;)

 

Oh yeah, lesson learned. All in all not too bad I guess. It was the first time I have even seen a Texas Star in person and it was only my second actual USPSA match. I shot a few of the Friday night indoor action matches but, they are not quite the same. I'm taking this year as a learning experience. I hope to actually be competitive next year.

Just do like Mike does, and let your Wife kick your a** every-so-often at a competition, lol!!!!!!! Sorry Mike, had to do it!

I didn't let her, she did it all on her own. :(

 

I'm still better with a shotgun at least.

    • 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 
    • 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.
    • 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.
