I don't wear gloves, have thought about it and I do say it's a good idea but when it comes down to it, I'll only wear then when it's cold out when I am waiting to shoot, and take them off to shoot. I shoot jacketed or at least some sort of coating and mostly outdoors. Yes it would probably be smart but it just doesn't feel right, same with mechanics gloves, could never wear them and heck that last corner of the sandwicch with the grease on it always went down better anyway. Lol.

Ok then go with the lucky number of 8, that's a luck number to some..

Exactly what I was thinking, this will be my first time shooting it, but have been looking forward to it for a while now, just never worked out that I could make any of the matches. Plus it's easy to police your brass and if there are any that don't reload, whew, a brass whores dream match..

You have got to be kidding me... Now that's sad and funny at the same time, as said future Darwin award nominee in the making, if he makes it that far, as they say, practice makes perfect..

EzPass is a great thing to have, I have to have it for my parking at work, I get free parking at the airport and my EzPass tag number and license plate is registered with the PANYNJ partaking division so I don't really have a choice, well I do, but I would rather not pay 33 bucks a day to park. It's a great time saver, I had one of my employees have a problem with the EzPass in her car, well it wasn't in her car and she knew who took it so for a day she had to use cash until she could get a new one. Well she called me telling me she had to wait to pay cash, I was a little over 10 minutes behind her on the same road getting off at the same exit. Well I made it to the toll and through it with my EzPass while she was still in line, and this was at the exit for the airport at 0445 in the morning with only 1 toll collector working. So for what I think might be a buck or 2 fee a month, the time and convenience is more than worth it to me. If you feel like they will be tracking you, well I don't know what to say, but if your think your in stealth mode just think they have cameras at every single lane at these tolls, so think about this, you sitting there just give the man more time to get you on camera, and they know where you are for a longer period of time,,,, feel better now?? :sarcastichand:

There is no restriction on how many you can get at a time, however with extensions you can not use any more than 6 permits. Everyone should apply for 6 at a time not matter what, as long as your only buying 1 gun a month, if you are applying for an exemption for multiple guns time, then the Sky's the limit.

You did great, thank Nick, still wondering how you added the PING sound after each shot I took.

What, thinking of breaking out a 50BMG??

I know Jon, I figure it was probably just a coincidence that the CCI's were giving me problems, I think just about any ammo would have had problems, I think the gun wanted a little more oil and now that I think about it, I did use Tetra Grease and it was cold, so it could have been a lot of things at once that was the problem.

Man that sucks, but truck can be replaced so as long as everyone is ok that what matters. From the looks of it, it didn't look the any bags deployed on either driver, and she pushed you sideways 5', hmmmm, seems odd, but probably better off in the long run. Had a guy just get tapped in the read bumper at a light, not more than 1 MPH, didn't even scratch or dent the bumper at all, but he got a broken nose from the bag. The worst part about it, I laughed my a** off when he told me, he didn't mind he has known me long enough to expect that.

So am I, also like that it shoots the cheap stuff like it did, but I still want go through a few things because if she shoots the cheap crappy ammo, the CCI's I was using are ring in the same ballpark as far as FPS and GR. I do think it might have just been the gun needed a little more lube and that the CCI's I used for the first 5 strings I shot on the first stage were also the first rounds ever put through the gun, so she might have needed a little breaking in to loosen her up. I'm cleaned her up and will go down to the range tomorrow try a bunch of different ammo. Probably play with the Crono for a little also.

Incredible, you were able to get me in the 6 strings I shot that I didn't have problems.. Nice job Nick, everyone looks good.

Hey High E welcome to the forum, so you going to make the knockdown match this up coming Saturday?

KS556, keep an eye on the Competitions folder and you will see some of the matches coming up, this in addition to what you will find in the calender sections of the clubs who hold matches that Bob sent you. All of them will be good to get a view of what it's like but I do mention the ones we post on here being we have been getting a few more of the folks from here to meet up at the matches and squad or try to squad together and that can really help a new shooter to a sport. Also let me say this, doesn't matter what you try out, just keep in mind your there to first be safe and second have fun, while it's a competition, don't take it serious as to where you place, just try not to get DQ'd. After you look at some of the videos, let us know what you might be interested in trying and someone here will be able to point you in the right direction from where and little tips to help you out.

Same thing for me, TSA BS at EWR and PHX I check the guns in at the ticket counter like I do with my bag, I just tell the agent to note that if TSA wants to check anything out I'll be in the Red Carpet Lounge having a drink to come see me in there. They never have come to see me.

Very nice to know, I'll be loading up some .40 S&W with VV N320 also, what PF are you loading to?

What gun did you see at CTD? As far a reasonable 1911's they are out there, not only in the used market but factory new. There are a few that have been talked about here, I'll let the others who actually own them to chime in but you can get them for well under a grand.

Thanks for the info Tony.

If I didn't have 3 done and half the tubes cute for the last 2 I would go with wood.

So I guess it will be a while than..

Very nice, how light is it and what do they go for?

Nice, i just got finished making up a 3 out of PVC, just have to pick up a few more supplies so I can finish the last 2 and then hope I hit the target and not the stand. I like your idea, a lot cheaper also.

While I will agree I would like to play less for my handguns, heck I'd like to pay less for everything but it is what it is and they will get what the market will allow. I do know many of the low and midrange 22LR handguns can be reasonable, the higher end ones are up there, but you do get what you pay for. I haven't bought any high end 22's but if I did I would hope the performance was in line with the cost, and if so I would say I am saving money shooting a 22 so it's not that bad in the end..

Just check to see where his instructor is from and you will have your answer.

Yea right, Nick said he got me, I was shooting the CCI's that were jamming, after that I lubed it nice and wet and switched to cheap Federal Bulk and she ran well. Guess what he got on video...
