.45 1911 mags? Maybe somebody can chime and and lend you one or 2 for the match. stage counts vary, if you cut yourself that close with round count though you might have problems if you miss ( like me ) last time they had a bunch of small steel targets pretty far away that were tough to hit.

Cabelas is at $6.99 a box, free shipping ( over 99$) and no tax http://www.cabelas.com/product/Memorial-Day-Sale/Memorial-Day-Shooting-Gear|/pc/117118080/c/109345680/American-Eagle174-Rifle-Ammunition/734598.uts?avad=48247_f2d3cab5&WT.mc_id=al35987&rid=12&WT.tsrc=AFF

I would not hesitate to buy a used revolver for a home defense gun, especially something like a smith and wesson 686 or the like, even a used 20 year old s&w will probably still be going " bang " even after you and I are long gone.

winner winner chicken dinner. won the auction, emailed the guy a few times, very cooperative. They are a pawn shop in FL, called them up and paid over the phone with my American express. cant wait to get her, already placed an order for 1000 rounds of .45 ACP ( ouch ) and doing so for some moonclips as well.

for 20 dollars , i'll place an order.

Lol mike, ya got me! how'd you know? I dont mind sharing the auction info,hopefully you all have the decency not to bid against me, lol it's a Smith and Wesson 625-2 , 5" - Model of 1988, 45 cal http://www.gunbroker...?Item=286773174

Coming down to the closing hours on a gunbroker.com bid on a revolver, Currently the highest bidder, who knows If i'll will though. anyhow, seller has " We accept money orders and cashiers checks as payment ". I dont mind sending either, but is their any safety precautions I can / should take that come with a money order or cashiers check? The seller is a new seller, verified, but currently no feedback. I dont want to get scammed( doubt this ) but just want to play it safe. I am used to always paying with a credit card online, and this will be my first gunbroker purchase. Thoughts?

I can see how having a morning match and afternoon match could be beneficial for people who cannot make it there first thing in the morning, or for those who want to shoot black powder or shotgun in the morning and ping steel in the afternoon. I just hope it doesn't become a " one gun per match " policy, Some people, including myself , Do not have weekends off. It's pure luck that I am able to make it there when I get out of work In the morning, do some shooting, sleep in the afternoon. I wouldn't be able to dedicate an entire day to shoot. While I am a ' 2-gun-shooter' @ the steel matches, I think a large majority are, I think it actually can speed things up quite a bit having it that way. Like harry said - It does save shooter setup time. If a guy is shooting 45 and 22 there USUALLY isn't a need to paint in between his runs, since its pretty easy to distinguish a 45 shot from a 22 on the steel. We also have plenty of active people in our group that keep score / ro / and watch for hits.

Little overboard imo , especially at 700 rounds. Gun isnt even broken in yet ! Personally I wouldn't go to crazy with it, but its your gun and feel free to learn to take it apart and clean her up.

I missed today, if you shoot more than one gun you will be " able " too, or HAVE to? As in limiting the competition to one gun only per match?

This will be my (third?) uspsa match, placing well is the absolute last thing on my mind. Spend your first few matches concentrating on learning the game, saftey aspects, and honing your skills. I shoot SS Minor now ( 9mm 1911 ) But plan to transition into the revolver division. - Alec

I LoVE my 15/20 mags from mtn armory, i'll prob. buy a few more 15/20s and some 15/30s when i have some extra scratch. as far as the " extra attention " , I am of the opinion that if they are legal, who really cares

Registered. Single Stack Minor

If you can wait a bit, sportsmenguide ussually has a buy one get one free every so often on these cans, i ussually pick up a set when that rolls around. Not sure when that will be though http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/used-us-military-50-cal-ammo-can.aspx?a=769380&e=Y

I know it's a little late notice, But old bridge is having their 3rd sunday static steel tomm. morning ( 5/20 ) 9am you know the rules by now, newbies just ask. always a fun day of shooting.

In. Thanks

It's a fun little shottie, I also shot joes ( bluelinefish) last week. It's a hell of alot shorter than it looks in the picture, I was suprised. And unless you have some sort of optic with a riser on it, prepare to get knocked in the cheek.

Thanks Iggy, I'll try to get there around 8am to help setup... Get out of work at 7am, hopefully I can B line it directly there.

.22 is really no good. Go back to past knockdown score results and you will see a boat load of " DNF" under the rimfire division.

Most the checkpoints I've seen lately have been for inspection stickers, no hiding that.
