If you want something specifically for uspsa, then you're choices start to narrow a bit. A simple cz75, m&p9L and glock 34 will be your most common choices. There's lots outside of that that is also eligible but the pricing and/or support might notmeet your requirements..

Last time i was at Shore Shot, they had a gold DE .50.

Sometimes, especially when you see them over a popup that says "FREE IPAD!!!", but i think this one is legit. First, Its affiliated with Bud's so there's some correlation of credibility there. Plus you can see how they make thier money, namely on the bid packages. So while you can surely get a great deal *IF* you win, they're still making their bottom line by everyone paying for their bids. If you lose, you just pissed all that bid money away of course.

I suppose this is a bad time to mention this new website I found where you can literally buy guns 4 pennies on the dollar? nah, you can't possibly be interested in something like that. just in case, I'll just set this down right here... http://bidgunner.com/

Then this conversion barrel will work with your gun. 9mm and 38 super both have the same breech and both work with this conversion kit.

What caliber is your taurus?

Joe, I have a Tokarev conversion barrel for sale that drops right into your Taurus. If u buy it from me, you'll be the coolest, most unique kid on the block!

So, when do you pick it up, Chris? lol

Taurus sells a PT1911 that has either a stainless or polished blue finish with gold plated controls for accent. You can get one dirt cheap from CDNN if you dont mind it being in 38 super.

Its a way of dividing the results of a class into more than one "winner" so even if you don't finish in absolute 1st place, you still have a chance for a payouts. This is an oversimplification, but, Basically they split the class into thirds and the person at the front of each of the 3 subgroups gets some fraction of the pot.

Yeah, shooing thumbs forward style with some hot magnum loads could definitely harsh your mello! I once got my thumb next to the cylinder gap on a little NAA mini 22LR revolver and that stung pretty good. Not enough to hurt, but enough to remind you that you're doing it wrong. Here's the muzzle blast of some of my "hot" 357 mag handloads. I think you might end up with more than your knuckle hair singed. And here's the venerable 44 mag with another rather stout handload. I think the guy shooting next to me got his knuckle hair singed from the side blast on this.

Yes, July 14th, prepare for "FIELDS OF STEEL!!" Looks like there will be cash payout ala the Lewis system so the 30th and 60th loser will also get paid. Great news for Harry! I attached a scan of the form. Knockdown steel 7-14-12.pdf

I'm in. BTW, i was at the static steel match at CJ last Sunday and someone was handing out flyers/applications for the July OB knockdown steel match. It seems the July match will be more of a big deal with 7 stages, 350 rounds minimum and the admission fee is going to be $50 per gun (with all the usual classes). Have any of you OB members/insiders gotten word of this? For that kind of cash, i'm not sure if i'll enter 2 classes or not. I'll Definitely shoot carbine, and probably pistol too but between the admission and the ammo, that's could be an expensive match! But, it doesn't happen very often though so what that hell, might as well live it up. lol

Actually its not. consider that the dd lower is ready to accept pistol msgs natively versus any 223 lower needs an expensive mag block to feed the same mags and the cost is a wash. Also consider that the dd lower won't have feeding issues like some blocks do and there you get some peace of mind that it functions which is worth something too.

Mike, I wish i had access to the shotgun ranges otherwise we could stick around after the match for a few rounds of clays. Apparently you need to take a quick primer course on loading and operating the clayhouses before they enable your access. I wouldn't mind getting some pro tips from someone who knows thier way around a scattergun.

Also, the rule is for "twice", not "thrice" so you could always game the loophole.

That whole 9 round capacity thing gets in the way here. I'd still love the have the gun if i could have it with a 6 round capacity, so what can i do to achieve that? Can i order a 930 JM and a stock mag tube cap and have the FFL swap the extended tube for the cap so i holds a more conventional 5 rounds? Would neutering the capacity like this be akin to pinning an AR15 stock to relieve it of the "Evil" feature and be kosher for transfer? Or is there a similar, but more basic model with a 22-24" barrel that can be built up to replicate the JM pro models? Shotgun peeps, what to do? Other than my 12ga pump that i rarely use other than for busting pumpkins and the occasional local 3-gun match, I'm pretty much a dummy to the scattergun world.

I'll be at sunday steel @ CJ if anyone else wants to come down.

I dunno, i've got one and it works for me. I love the giant ergo grips and being able to have one on my saiga is pretty sweet although the US palm/saw style grip looks pretty sweet too.

But then again, you've already had that rifle and you know that you have a rule that you don't buy the same gun twice.

You know, you're absolutely right. I mean, you *could* have a semi-auto 22 short, but imagine how much mass you;d have to take off the bolt to get it to cycle (if at all)? lol Maybe a semi-auto that shoots and cycles super colibri's! That would be sweet!

Its something like this... Because 22 shorts are physically shorter than 22 LR's, if you crimp your tube to limit it to only 15 22LR's, it will still hold 16+ 22Shorts and that's no bueno. In the case of it being explicitly labeled as "22LR, 22Short", you'd have to cater to the lowest common denominator of the caliber the rifle is *labeled* as shooting and that will be 22 Short. If its only marked 22LR, then that's what it "officially" shoots and the fact that it will fire a 22short is coincidental. But if its explicitly labeled with 22 short, it needs to abide by that as well. Similarly, if you have a 40S&W magazine that will hold only 15 rounds, thats ok even though you can take said magazine and load it and use it with 16+ 9mm luger rounds (if the feed lips are narrow enough and some are!) which is purely coincidental and ok since its intended to only feed 40S&W.

No, the trojan has a ramped barrel, this needs a traditional non-ramped barrel style frame. If you had a spartan, it would work.

I have a new, never used 7.62x25 conversion kit for the 1911 government model for sale. This easy-to-install conversion kit allows you to fire inexpensive 7.62 x 25 Tokarev ammunition from your 9mm or .38 Super Government Model 1911 pistol with "non-ramped" frame (such as Colt, Rock Island, Taurus). Kit features a 5" drop-in stainless steel barrel with link and pin and a Wolff 12 lb. reduced power recoil spring, which is necessary to cycle the 7.62 x 25 ammunition. 7.62 x 25 ammunition is widely available and the rounds can be loaded directly into your 9mm or .38 Super magazine although they will not load to the full capacity of 9mm or 38 super. Generally, no extra parts or gunsmithing is required. Note: This kit will not work with .45 ACP 1911's. The barrel is unmarked and includes a flat crown. $100 shipped.

Bump.
