Really? For someone that won't even show up to a match, this is what you have to offer

There is nothing stopping people from shooting Open 10 now

Here are my thoughts on the 2, I have 2 tanfos 4 STI 2011 Trigger, they can both be close, but 2011 will always be better with tuning and will be safer, Tanfo halfcock notch gets in the way of a short pull trigger and needs to be filed down some. The factory Tanfo sear is crap. I like the straight back pull of the 2011, but that personal preference Safety. I prefer the 2011 safety, the tanfo is too low and my weak hand thumbs hits it. I had to grind away at it to get a better fit Grip safety, tanfo doesn't have one so its a little more comfortable, but I deactivate my 2011, so its a wash Trigger guard, the guard on the tanfo is to low to get a really high hold on the gun. Its my main issue with the gun Grip, tanfo grip is more comfortable for my strong hand, less for my weak hand. But with the new SVI metal grips, you can have the feel of the tanfo, but the grip costs almost as much the tanfo Cost, Tanfo wins easy. Sights, Tanfos rear LPA sight is crap Longevity. Tanfo frame will peen at the guide rod without a henning cone rod. The tanfo is a little heavier but I haven't had any issues with the weight (transitions etc.). The light weight slide is nice Mags are about even now with the new Tanfo mags. Before STI mags were much better. You can jam the same amount of rounds in either and they cost about the same, Tanfo slightly cleaper Shooting. They are about the same, the weight on the tanfo frame soaks up a little more, but with a milled slide on a STI, they are about the same, The plastic frame soaks up a good amount of recoil also I think the STI/SVI are better guns, but they are atleast 2x the cost, the tanfos are a cheap way to get a limited that only needs minor upgrades to be competitive. One will not make you a better shooter ETA: The finish is cerakote over hard chrome, it has worn off in a lot of areas.

My back up gun has a medium flat trigger on it. Don't really care for it and was thinking of going back to the curved, A flat trigger on a hinged mechanism doesn't feel right to me, its like my finger is slipping off the trigger face. For trigger jobs, I had help with one as I needed to have the holes reamed out for oversized pins (henning parts), The other I did myself (EGW). If you get henning prepped sear, it might drop right in or will only need a little bit of work, mine dropped in fine but nneded work to prevent hammer bounce when dry firing. A EGW sear will need a lot more fitting on the sear leg and safety leg. Then you just polish all the parts, pretty easy.

Thanks, Its a fun shooting gun. Trigger jobs are easy on the tanfo, no need to send it out to Canyon Creek. Maksim, if you have a Trojan 40 that you are interested in trading for a Tanfo, let me know. My back up is low round count, EGW Sear, Henning grips and front sight

I don't know how the shooting experience would be different, other than if yours doesn't run reliable, which it probably doesn't being a Kimber.

This is true, you can do well with out the race gear, but depending on the stage, race guns, and by that I mean Open div, will give you more than a 10% advantage, other stages it might not be any advantage, but it will never be a disadvantage. But like everything, it comes down to the shooter

Yep that was me

Thanks, I started in 06, shot L-10 for a year then went to open. Start back with iron in april after taking about 6 months off. You are doing very well for just starting.

I think I was on your squad today. I had the jersey with the Pig on the back

works well if you are reloading while on the move, good for ipsc rifle matches, but thats about it

here you go

That one looks familiar.

Never stop shooting. If you hit a popper and it does not fall you can either continue on or shoot the popper again. If you stop and the popper falls during calibration, you will receive FTEs on all the targets you did not engage because you stopped. If it doesn't fall, only then do you get reshoot. If you shoot the popper again and it falls then you forfeit your right to call for a calibration. On a side not. This was my first match at Old Bridge and had a great time
