We had the other 2 new guys. Your squad was just very slow at turning around shooters

Thanks Stage 4 was a good stage

If you can pick up your brass without slowing down the match then there is no issue with grabbing it

110 points in penalties... Oops

If you want to shoot USPSA singlestack, 40 is the way to go, because it allows you to shoot major power factor (major scoring). 9mm singlestack is minor scoring,but you do get an extra 2 rounds per mag. The extra 2 rounds are sometime benifically, but usually over the length of a match, major wins out. I have a STI Spartan 9mm, it runs 100% quality mags are a big plus, 9mm can be more finiky then a 45, but if you get good mags, then they are about even. I recommend Daweson precision

If you are going to shoot uspsa with 8 round mags, then don't get the DOH ETA. Looks like you have a 6 inch 1911 so L-10 will be best and you can use the DOH

Take a look at the fenix PD32 UE. 740 lumens, multiple level outputs, very wide spill no hot spot of tlr-1 Get a good offset mount and you are all set I prefer it over my streamlight. Or get a surefire 6p and aftermarket lamp

I just got a Vortex 1-6x, Been shooting mostly with a Micro before that. The great thing about the variables is the flexibility, sometime a 2x is perfect for a given target, sometime 1x, sometimes 6x. You don't have that flexibility with the RDS even with a magnifier. The last rifle match I shot was won or lost on the long range stage, just about rifle is. You could not see some of the targets on the long range stage at all without magnification, I shot using estimation based on objects I could see. Magnification provids a significant benefit here. On a fast run and gun close target stage a red dot is faster and more forgiving. But it gives up a lot when you get at distance with low contrast targets

Plus if you get caught, you are put in Open division

Wrote a short email to the group, basically saying We need to laws that reduce crime rates, not create criminals out of the law abiding

Yep, I would bet that the spring legs are under the trigger pin

I have a Mcrees chassis, it is awesome. I got the one that uses the AR stock and not cerakoted. Its pretty inexpensive for what you get

Yep, an oily chamber will increase bolt thrust. Not a good thing

You inferred that the buff was preventing battering on your 1911, I simple explained when properly built there is no battering. Don't get so butt hurt, its just the internet

If you are getting battering (peening) then your 1911 was not built correctly

I would say Sti are my favorite. I have seen a lot of factory glock crap out with factory ammo. Some is caused by limp wristing. But a fight gun should cycle no matter how you hold it

All iron sights are the same....boring. Open is where the fun starts

The changes will help. It really comes down to what you want to spend, what you want. The 2011 is a better gun, if you want the better gun, you have to spend the money. Will it be money well spent? probably not. Will it make you a better shooter, nope. But there is a lot said for getting what you want, the first time. get the Open gun

Are 2011 an advantage, yes. Double the price advantage...really depends on the shooter. The 2011 is a little heavier, has a better trigger and will be more accurate. But the reason I shoot them over anything else is fit, they just fit my hand better than a M&P, Glock or Tanfo. Open guns are usually about a $1k more than a limited gun

I think the conversation is "Isn't Cowboy Action next week?"

Just shoot in open division. There are not enough people in the US that have modified guns to fill a local match

It was fun division while it lasted. It's ashame it was never picked up by USPSA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbO3sX88Ac4

Replacing an ejector takes 30 sec. take off the slide, drive out the pin, pull out the old ejector, push in the new ejector, put the pin in. The barrel ramp issue is easily solve by having all the barrels with the same ramp. You are not going to swap firing pin between the slides, so 9mm/45 pins makes no difference. even if you did, you can use a 9mm pin in a 45, I believe caspian slides are on drilled for 9 even with a 45 breech The issues isn't that it can't be done, the issue is cost. By the time you have two slides / barrels fitted to a frame, 2 set of sights all the little parts, you are up around the cost of 2 guns. My buddy just picked up a 2011 with a 9mm and 40 top end, very sweet set up. 40 for L10, 9mm for steel
