Brownells also has them. http://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/recoil-parts/recoil-spring-guides/govt-recoil-spring-guide-ss-sku965000116-42055-78547.aspx?sku=965-000-116 http://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/recoil-parts/recoil-spring-plugs/ringed-recoil-spring-plug-sku965000106-40131-61939.aspx?sku=965-000-106 http://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/recoil-parts/recoil-springs/16-1-2-lb-wolff-variable-power-spring-for-govt-model-sku969424016-24868-37286.aspx?sku=969-424-016

I tried the Wilson one piece FLGR and it worked great. The disassembly still sucked though. That rim on the plug is a bear on your fingers. Of course you can use the tool or even the base of a mag but, a GI setup just really simplifies it.

Plug http://shopwilsoncombat.com/Recoil-Spring-Plug-Ringed-Cap-Bullet-Proof-Stainless/productinfo/566/ Guide rod http://shopwilsoncombat.com/Recoil-Spring-Guide-Blue/productinfo/R8/ You might as well pick up a new spring while your at it. I switched to a 16.5 lb Wolf variable. http://www.gunsprings.com/cID1/mID1/dID1#3

I got all the parts from Wilson Combat.

Ray, get rid of that 2 piece thing and get a GI set up. I have not noticed any difference in my TRP since switching and it makes take down tooless and easy.

In the vendors section. Legend firearms in Marlboro, Hunting world in Freehold (Millstone actually), East brunswick sportsman on rt18 in EB, Monmouth arms in Marlboro as well.

Depends on the gun you are shootinh. Rimfire requires no holster. Center fire you need a holster or you will be penalized . Mag holders are not needed we just put the mags on the table. It's best to have 5 mags for whatever gun you are shooting.

A few of the guys rarely miss, or at least claim to rarely miss. For the most part we all miss. The videos are creatively edited by Nick "Spielberg" C. The plates range in distance from 7 to 30 yards. It's always a good time and beats the hell out of shooting paper. Old Bridge and Central Jersey have steel on the first Sunday of each month and Old Bridge has a second monthly match on the third Sunday. Come on down and join the fun.

Another fun day, enough with the cold though. Need some warm shootin weather!

If you really plan to get into reloading, do yourself a big favor and pick this up. There are way too many variables to just say 3.5 for 9mm etc. http://www.amazon.com/The-ABCs-Of-Reloading-Definitive/dp/1440213968 And some reloading manuals. example: http://www.amazon.com/Lyman-49Th-Edition-Reloading-Handbook/dp/B001MYEU0E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363470625&sr=8-1&keywords=lyman+49th+edition+reloading+handbook

Odd they have not responded in any way.

Oops...forgot about the "box". Looks like you will be in limited 10. Good thing you picked up those 10 round mags. So a bladetech with the drop offset will be fine. Or you can get one of them fancy race holsters like Alec. Not necessary at all though. Pizza bob, it's a .45.

In that price range, you could get a nice dan wesson or springfield trp. You could also go with the range officer and save a few bucks. The kimbers are fine guns as well, I feel they are overpriced for what you get though. Seems kimber believed their own advertising and is pricing their guns as if they are the best out there, they're not.

Do you want it just for steel or are you planning to come out to the USPSA matches too? I'm not sure if that one from Dawson will adjust for a 6". I checked and Bladetech does have some models for that gun. I would still call them just to male sure you order the right one. If you are going to shoot USPSA you would be in either single stack or limited 10 division with that gun. No 1911's in production. Single stack you can't use the drop offset attachment, limited 10 you can. If it's just for steel, get whatever you want.

Bob, Is this for the 6" Springfield? If so, you might have to call Bladetech and ask them. I don't see one listed on their sight for the 6".

I'm in now. I had planned to come out Saturday and help out at OBRAMS but, I have to work. Besides, weather's not looking too good for that.

I have heard that from others before. I don't know what that's all about. I have been buying from them for years. Parts, ammo, etc. Never asked for my fpid.

Sounds like fun. Video or it didn't happen. I know those revolver queens need to use Federal. Might make for some interesting trade offers.

Thanks UPS guy.

First of all, CTD is out of business as far as I'm concerened. But, that ammo is match grade 22, so the price wasn't that bad. Some of the offerings from Lapua sell for over $20 for a box of 50. This stuff is for serious bullseye shooters with bolt acton rifles not for plinking.

Come on Elvis! I registered too. Never tried this yet. I figured if Mike can do it, anybody can.

Check the seller's feedback on that sight. Use a USPS money order. Worst case you could file mail frauds charges. I have sent many money orders without any issues but you never know. Most private sellers do not accept credit cards and many avoid paypal due to their anti gun policies.

Welcome to the forum and OBRPC. You have made a great choice. You definitely don't have to observe 3 and participate in 2. Most here will tell you, watching sucks. I participated in all 5 and many many more since than. You must live pretty close to me, I could walk to the indoor if I wanted and the outdoor is 10 minutes away. Since you said you will have more free time come April, 1st Sunday there is a steel match and 1st Friday is indoor action. Look over the March calender, it pretty much repeats itself each month.
