Never considered myself to be "pin-up" material. I feel sort of violated. But in a good way!

What goodies did you pick up?

The match is this Sunday, anyone else participating or going as a spectator?

I have not

Wait till you try action steel. Bring double the amount of the required ammo.

10 yards minimum up to 25

Nice! Will you be going door to door with a timer saying "Are You Ready, Standby, Beep"?

5 steel,(4 regular and 1 "stop plate") 1 round each(shoot stop plate last), repeat 5 times. Slowest time out of the 5 gets thrown out, result = total time. Usually 5 or 6 different stages. Simple enough?

JonF just posted this link on the hot deals section (http://www.slickguns.com/) I was just browsing the site and looked in their ammo section and they seem to have some good deals going on. Worth looking into for ammo.

If I wasn't shooting the 3gun match on Sunday at Old Bridge, I'd be there. Have fun everyone, see you all at the next one.

If you are on a budget, I would recommend a STI Spartan in 9mm. You can pick one up with some tuning done to it from several places. I recommend the following 2; Dawson Precision http://www.dawsonprecision.com/ or Freedom Gunworks http://www.freedomgunworks.com/. here is a link to an example of FGW can do on a Spartan. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=112550 Some people have found issues with magazines for a 1911 in 9mm, but it appears that it has been corrected by using Wilson mags. A 45acp model will run you the same amount of money, but ammo will cost more to buy or reload. If you have more to spend, I would consider a STI Trojan. STI has a great reputation because they stand behind their products 100% and it is the most widely used brand in action shooting. I personally own a STI Trojan in 45acp, and I have easily shot 20k rounds through it since 2003. I have used it for plinking, USPSA, 2X4 shoots, Bullseye, etc. I honestly don't clean as much as I should, but the gun still shoots with layers of gunk in it. The gun still shoots darts and will eat anything I feed it. Currently it is mostly lead semi wadcutters.

Can't make it.

I'll be there.

If you go to a Walmart in NY State or PA, you can pick up a case of Federal Multi Purpose Loads (100 pack) for about $23.

No problem. Also no rush, I have no need for them so keep them as long as you like.

Stephanie, Did you look at these items?

I did on stage 7. Had a good run going. Also 3 mikes on stage 1, terrible. Could /should have done better. Next time I guess.

Great match today. Nice to meet Nick, Tony, and Stephanie. Hopefully you get to shoot next time! I personally shot a terrible match. Too many mental mistakes. Really who loads a round backwards in a mag? Tony, sorry about the mags. Hey it could have been worse right?

STI

you have 2 kidneys? i know a place where I can sell that for you.

Will not going, Tony is a maybe now.

No I don't have extras, just the right amount for the guns I have. You can never have enough magazines. Some errors in purchasing has led me to acquire several "extras". Plus when a GOOD deal comes along for items that I want/need, I jump at it.

Did you want me to bring some extra 1911 8 or 10 round mags?
