Welcome!

You have quite a few things that need to be broken in.

It's not a long walk at all back to your car. I usually carry my ammo and leave my cooler in the truck. I need something from the cooler, I go get it. You have plenty of time after shooting a stage and then waiting for your turn on the next stage.

Welcome!!!

I need to get buis for this one and the .22. First I need to get this one up and running.

Not much anyone can do about something like this. The victim had a restaining order against this guy back in 2011. There have been complaints filed against each other for some time now.

Any reports that it was a 1911? Could have been a Sig P220 or several others. Not that it really matters. We just need to get rid of these high capacity 8 round clips.

The old NY 1 trigger was 8lbs, the new NY 2 trigger is 12.

Maybe the Mayor should be looking at more required range time for NYPD and getting rid of those ridiculous 12lb NY2 triggers.

Jon, I saw your scores from knockdown and figured you had some issues. I already got the KCI's. If they give me any trouble, I guess I'll have 6 targets. I'll hold off ordering the Glock mags until after testing these. Glad to hear you got your problem straightened out.

Got an email from Double Diamond today. Now they are waiting on the feed ramps for the Glock mags. Everything else is ready. Should have the lower in another week or two. They need to get moving, my upper is getting very lonely.

Mayor Dumbass couldn't confirm if Johnson even got off a shot in the shootout.

Looks like he shot a former co-worker and was walking away. When he was approached by NYPD, he pulled his weapon and a shootout with police followed. The additional 9 people injured were hit during the shootout. I wonder if they will release the numbers of people hit by Johnson and the number hit by NYPD?

I broke in my M&P 22 with 200 rounds of CCI MiniMags then switched to Federal bulk. It runs pretty damn good with the Federal and even with Wolf match target which is a very slow round compared to the Federal. It does have the occaisional faiure to feed but, that is pretty much true of any 22 semi auto. I have never had a problem with the slide sticking nor have I heard of anyone else having that problem. The grip angle on the Colt as well as the GSG and Sig is the standard 1911 grip angle. Many, including myself find that to be the best and most natural grip for shooting not just handling in the store. That is why I always suggest shooting before you buy.

These should work.

It's really a tough decision. The GSG is cheap and upgradeable but, the Kimber does not need much as far as upgrades go, just the front sight. It is more than double the price though. Also, no pot metal on the Kimber, all aluminum. And it breaks down just like a standard 1911, no barrel screw to mess with. I'm going to have to run this by the chief financial officer and see what she thinks...

I'm looking to pick up a 1911 in .22 this fall and thought I had made up my mind. I started out considering the Colt/Umarex, compared it to the GSG/Sig and after weighing the differences, decided on the GSG/Sig. The only problem was that I wanted something to match my stainless TRP. After a little digging around on the net, I came across the Kimber rimfire Target. Not stainless but, close enough. Does anyone have one of these? How's the quality, reliability, etc.?

$35 but, plenty in stock. http://www.44mag.com/product/m_p_22_magazine_12_round/smith_and_wesson

It depends when your 6 months is up. They no longer let you become a full member until you complete the full 6 month probationary period. I completed my sign off sheet in May but, had to wait until July to hand it in.

I'm thinking about shooting my TRP for a change. Let the brass whoring begin!

Well then you need to get it done! I want to finally see that Colt in action.

Weather is looking great for Sunday.

Looks like it's "wait and see" for the weather tomorrow.

Both great choices. I have the M&P and will be picking up a GSG soon. The 10 and 12 round mags are the same size, you can use either one. The 10 rounder has a block of plastic that limits it to 10 rounds. I have read that the block can be easily removed, making it a 12 rounder.
