When I went it was pretty packed but you don't wait for more than 30 - 40 min since they use all but the far right and left lanes. GSSF Membership is 25 a year. I think the match was 10 per division entered (stock and open class only).

Official dates are in. Who's going? No pre-registration or anything. Least not last time. Just show up and shoot. Very fast match since they're running 10 shooters at once or thereabouts. Total course time is 1 min 45 sec. Fun time and great for people getting into competitive shooting. http://gssfonline.com/indoor-league-what-courseoffire.cfm Shore Shot Pistol Range Lakewood, NJ http://www.shoreshotpistolrange.com 732-905-6888 Monday 04/30/12 Monday 05/28/12 Monday 06/25/12 COURSE OF FIRE Competitor faces NRA "D1" paper targets at distances of 12 ft., 25 ft., 50 ft. and 75 ft., with firing timed as follows: D-1 10 rounds 12 feet 15 seconds D-1 10 rounds 25 feet 15 seconds D-1 10 rounds 50 feet 15 seconds D-1 10 rounds 75 feet 30 seconds D-1 5 rounds 25 feet 15 seconds D-1 5 rounds 50 feet 15 seconds SCORING TARGET THERE IS NO PENALTY FOR MISSES OR UNFIRED SHOTS.[/indent][/indent]

Oh yeah! You did very well man, very well. You'll love the 229. I like the new look a lot and the 15 round mags are a big plus. I love the grip as well. I have a 228, but I still want one of the new 229s.

If this were real I'd buy it. In 9mm too. Glock 20 was buy far the funnest Glock I've ever shot and one of the funnest I've shot period. I bet it's a riot in the 'C' model with some real hot loaded ammo. DO IT.

Can you switch to the Light LEM trigger on the USP Series and other HK Pistols? Man, gun looks great. I'd like to try one out some day. i used to have a USP Compact.

I did this on my Beretta as well and it took less than 10 minutes. Certainly makes a difference. I use wolf primers which are harder than normal and all my rounds went off fine. I may take the stock spring and try cutting out like 4 coils to make it really light just for an experiment, but at that point it may cause light strikes.

Wow I've seen these and never knew how they worked or what they were for. Very cool. I want a 627 eventually in my collection.

Thanks Tessa. Hope to see it soon. Love the Revolution for my G34.

Answer: Yes.

My experience with the Kimber has been very good as of late. Originally when I bought it the slide stop had an issue in which it would lock the slide back prematurely. I sanded it down a little and since then the gun eats absolutely everything. I've put round nose, hollow points, semi wad cutter, flat point, all at varying loads and have not had one single issue. It's my favorite handgun of all the ones I've owned and shot.

I would be so down. I guess I'm a bit of a sadist. I should start shooting revolver.

One thing I came to realize is that pro-gun is a logical conclusion and a responsible decision. Anti-gun is an IDEOLOGY founded on fear and misinformation. Being that it is indeed an IDEOLOGY much like a religion you cannot "convert" or convince an anti-gun person that a gun can in fact be owned responsibly and safely. Gun owners will get frustrated debating the matter with someone who is anti-gun because you're talking to someone who is more or less using completely fabricated information or they may use actual data but in an very skewed and illogical manner. I don't really get into the whole "Well anything can be used as a weapon, more people die driving, type of debate." The fact of the matter is in this present world which is far from a utopia you simply cannot be truly anti-gun. Meaning that anti-gun people would not want to see law enforcement or military or this country in its entirety be stripped of firearms. Why? Because the fact is there are people out there that we need to defend ourselves against. When a crazy man is shooting up a school or public building believe me EVERYONE in that building is PRO GUN at that moment and wish they were armed. It's just a matter of survival. Anti-gun people for some reason cannot fathom that law abiding civilians can also safely own firearms and have a need for protection the same way law enforcement and military do. Sometimes when you present this to anti-gun people they will say: Well that's why there should be no guns period on the Earth then no one can shoot up a building or something STUPID like that. Basically it's like this: THAT IS A FANTASY, I LIVE IN REALITY. Guns are here they are not going anywhere. Welcome to planet Earth.

Well if that isn't fate...

Tenafly Rifle and Pistol Club has weekly events on Sunday in the evenings around 6PM. Most of it is steel which is very easy to learn. One day is practice USPSA. They are very cool there and would let him shoot rimfire even if it's not a rimfire match just for him to learn. I've seen them really go out of their way to help out new shooters.

I didn't know IDBA had a BUG division, that's pretty cool. You'd be surprised. With the 26 I had to shoot a little slower, but accuracy was still there. I didn't fee the need to have more ammo. In fact I think my accuracy in some cases is better just cause you do have to focus a little more. When I borrowed a 34 for a match once i got over confident and didn't aim as much.

I like subcompacts, pocket guns, pocket rockets, whatever you want to call them. I don't know why, just find them cool. But they have limited use in NJ as most of us cannot conceal carry and most competitions require ammo capacity to be closer to at least 10. I know GSSF has a subcompact division and Old Bridge Static Steel also has a division for subcompact guns. Outside of that I've not really seen it as it's own division. Personally I think it'd be a very fun division to shoot. I'm a little bias cause I started off competing with a Glock 26. I would love to get into all these fun little pocket 9mms that are coming out now, but just don't think they'd see enough action to justify it. So would you guys be interested in seeing a subcompact division in USPSA, Steel, other events?

Thank you for a non Anti Glock response, LOL!

Tessa, you think Bladetech will make the Revolution model to fit 1911s with rails in the future? Railed 1911s seem to be more common as of late. Plus I figured a holster for a railed 1911 would be fine for one without a rail so it's not like you have to carry two separate models, but then what do I know.

I'm just saying the 36 is more or less the same thing, but it gets no love. Maybe just cause it's not new. But definitely don't want this to be a Glock vs XD thing.

I don't mess with them anymore cause I struggled with the OAL being too long for some guns and too short for others. It was a pain in the a** to really zero it in. I'm sticking with round nose going forward. If there is a difference in accuracy I don't shoot well enough to exploit it. Plus for my intents and purposes I don't have to be super accurate. In competitive shooting so long as it hit s a paper plate 25 yards away free hand it's pretty much good enough. Least in my experience.

Maks, in what ways did you feel (if at all) this is a better option than the Glock 36?

Is there I mark on the primer? I never wouldve thought this would happen on a stock revolver. What ammo you using?

Oh I thought he meant XDs as in plural, haha! I was thinking, hmm, the XD has been out for a while but maybe he's new to shooting.

I like the trigger on them a lot. They are very comfortable to hold. I've heard nothing but great things about them for reliability. It's a great alternative to Glock if you're in the market for a polymer pistol and the Glock doesn't fit your hand. I believe the XDm s have interchangeable backstraps like the Gen 4s.

In regard to the second strike issue I've found it useful but from a reloaders standpoint and most of the time the reason the round needed a second strike was cause it was my fault not seating the primer deep enough. Although a couple occasions when I use Wolf primers which are hard the second strike has set them off. I guess from a competitive standpoint it would probably be faster to just rack the slide for a fresh round. Also, in a 1911, you can just thumb the hammer back, you don't have to rack the slide. I do this sometimes in with my 22 upper to set off the round if the first strike didn't get it. In regard to the original topic, I don't think second strike makes a gun more worth it necessarily.
