Combat Auto

Registered...Says Squad 1 - do I know anyone else in squad 1? I did my first match in October, we were shut down in Nov. due to Sandy-Storm, I hybranate in winter, so this will be my second match...I would like to go through the new shooters indocrination again (safty rules/etc.) with Vlad G. (?). What time do I need to be there for this? thanks

Not really, I have a wilson, kimber, sig, S.A., S&W, Beretta, - see any trends? Go with what works well for a specific "APP" and price point...Brand loyalty can get out of hand...EG, I like 1911 (i have 3 full size) but the really small ones don't work as well as plastic pistols...

Depends what you are going to use it for....I love 1911s, I have 3 of them and a 4th on order...But on the otherhand the XDs i purchased gave me a new respect for plastic. Man, ergenomic, accurate 45 (this is their pocket pistol), reliable. I also have an XD-Competition on layaway... On the other hand, a heavy steel gun will make you shoot better all things equal. And 1911's have all that history and that means something to me... I also would avoid cheep 1911's - these guns can be tempermental...So if you want that 1911 - go with quality - say a Kimber (or other in that 1500$ range)... So what you will use it for.

C'mon guys - it is one awsome pistol...Failure free, very accurate for a 3.3" barrel...45 cal. - Great summer cary...5 or 7 round mag...I was so impressed with it that I have its biggest brother on lay-a-way (the 5.5" barreled XD-Competition)...That said, you have to manhandle her some. Purpose isn't a fun range gun; but rather accurate, deadly force (45 acp), in a really small package...Beat out glock and 3 other manufacturers (comparable pistols) in multi-shooter comparison (I posted that a few months ago)... But it is all about the "cup of tea" isn't it. ;-).

Just upgraded my Kimber Team Match II (2012 model) with this grip from VZ....What a difference! Gun wants to stay in my hand now (45 acp 1911)...The stock grips are unique/pretty/wood with USA Team logo. -But somewhat slippery btwn shots... Highly recomemd these: https://vzgrips.com/gun-grips/1911/limited-run/operator-iitm-red-white-and-blue-g10 This particular one has the same red/white/blue theme as the forementioned originals.

It is scary...Ahame what is going on in our beloved country...I guess the best think any of us can do is befreind a top notch lawyer.

It is a discrace that this sort of Naziism goes on in america...Yes, let's call it for what it is...It is too bad that the cops don't stand up and do the right think either (refuse to inforce, like they are doing in so many towns)...I hope he has a top notch lawyer to get his rights back...Or get Christi after him (like he is doing for the boy w/scary rifle on facebook incident of our fellow NJGFer).

My pet peve is how NYPD raps the tax payers with thier pension scams...Double up the overtime in your last 3 years and you will retire with full pay after 20 years...Do 30 years and you will have a well into the 6 digit pension (as long as you rack-up overtime). And I am talking about a line-cop/detective...Only in goverment agancies does this happen,...And endless stream of tax payers to leach off of (city, state, federal), and for Federal, and endless streem of printing dollars.... And before the "How dare you" crowd jumps in, I am not attaching the officers braver, just the cronyism that goes on in most organizations which don't have to compete in the open market.

If you lived in Texas for example, as a gun owner you would be normal and go unnoticed...NJ is a "special" place....

Lots of sg AND amo manipulation..basics on zeroing...slugs vs buck...etc...check out reviews on Amazon...If you are new to SG you will like it.

AND BARNS, DO get the Dynamic SG video from magpul (amazon will have it on your door in 2 days)...For SG newbees like u and I (well, I have 1 SG shoot more experience then u now ;-)) it is worth every penny. For the old-timers SGes not so much I am sure.

I have a sig, kimber, and Wilson 1911s...They go up from price from the sig...HUndreds of dallars to the kimber, 1000s to the Wilson...Honestly, the sig is an ok gun but not as accurate by far as the kimber...That doesn't bother me too much, but the sig also has more jams then it should...1 or two in 100 rounds is way too many...The kimber has had 1 in 700...Wilson is if you want to squeeze extra accuracy out of a 1911 at a very high cost (not for everyone) or for the fanatics who just look at how pretty they are (not for me I am a shooter first!)...Bottom line, I have only one sample of a sig, but I am not overly amazed by it..For a few hundred more, kimber is a better choice IMHO.

don't get a 4" barrel; get something with a 5 inch barrel - you will be much happier at the range (you said it was a range gun)...Like I mentioned, kimbers are very accurate. I have a sig 1911 and a kimber 1911 andthe kimber 1911 is just a better pistol (accuracy AND reliability).

Barms the three real-time adjustments I made from rifle shooting were: 1)Standing, with rifle shooting (not talking about a carbine which I do not shoot and don't know) a real "He-Man" ;-) rifle like my M1a shooting .308, they recommend having the rt leg way was back (rt hand shooter) so your left leg is almost directly in line with the target and rt leg and target (significant blading)...With the SG you need to square up to the target so that your rt leg is only slightly back (this is relatively speaking find what works for you)- see first few mins of link (stocky/few extra pound guy shooting a SG "squared"-up....2) Givin that the tactical-sg I have is so light, really lean forward to keep the muzzle down after firing (as much as possible anyway)...So #1 and 2 help you get your full body mass as a back-stop...3)Rifle shooting you need a good cheek weld where your chin is firmly planted on the stock...Not with a SG unless you want to punch yourself in the face like I did 3X!...To fix this, I went to a "soft" cheek weld still being able to lign up my Gost ring read and white dot front sights. ALSO,I used a push-pull rt hand pushed slightly, as left hand pulls. Kinda resulting in a bi-directional shock absorber - and no more masochism punches to my face...First time I ever shot a SG - these adjustments worked for me. I am sure the experience SG shooters here can provide other tips...Hope this helps.

thanks...I do have one and used it...At first, as mentioned, I was blading to much like a rifle shooter and the butt slid right off the limbsaver and into by bicept...It was a hoot!...When I squared up the issue went away.

Finally got to the outdoor range to shoot my SG...Grabbed one of the 25yard pits at CJR&P yesterday...Shot 20 rem-slugs, and 45 rounds buck 00 (Remington and horniday super)...Let me tell you, it was an eye opener...After getting tired of punching myself in the face literally whenever the gun went off, and making my bicept black and blue :-) because I was blading too much, I realize shooting a shotty is not the same as shooting a rifle (I have an M1a)…I recalled what that “other guy” (there is Travis, and the other guy ;-)) in the Magpul SG DVD (came with the 870) said about shooting…Get square to the gun, lots of leaning into it, and “push-pull” with right/left hands…It worked! It was only 25-30 yards but I hit everything well – even a 6” steel-spinner with the slugs…Nice head shots with slugs also…Didn’t do too well with head shots using buck…Shooting from the hip at a full size USPSA steel target was loads of fun too…The hornerday shot higher than the rem-buck which made sense cause it has ~20% more velocity. I still need to establish a 100 yard zero on the next trip…It does shoot a little high at 25 yards (which it suppose to do for a 100yard zero) so I may not be far off. It is a fantasy, IMHO, some folks have that their wife (or anyone for that matter) is going to pick-up a 12G some night from bed and hit the perp without some practice. They will probably pull the trigger and fall over ;-). If you experience shotty-shooters have any further SG shooting tips – I am much obliged!

Post of the day from Reggie to Mr Kelly, Priceless: "I haven't been this conflicted in years. i, like everyone hate the killing of children. On the other hand, the 2d Amendment should be protected. What I'm really conflicted on however is, are you a tool or a douche?"

This is very ominous...These precedents sometimes do get duplicated (hey, look at how the antis tri to out do each other)...We are doing this (tax on wealth) in our country in another way - by printing cash. So everyone of our dollars are incrimently devalued...What amazes me most is how the liberal/socialist/collective movement has gained "mo" in the USA - when we can see into the future outcome of this movement in Europe....Also amazing is how Ann Rand was extremely spot on in her book "Atlas Shrugged" ca 1950? her future view is our present existence where collectivism has taken down economies all over the world...Read the cliff notes (like me) to save time.

You paid 70cents a round - I just paid 80 cents for top shelf JHP defense and all those kinds of things (1000R price) so we are not that far apart (but you got an excellent price for a local)...As stipulated it is all overpriced. I prefer internet because my time is more valuable than my $$$ (wasn't always that way) so shipping cost doesn't bother me...Anyway, it is just an option - esp if you are buying in bulk....Folks should post other internet links for other (cheaper) options (local shops are fine if your local ;-) isn't going to do most of us any good)...I usually use SGAMO - great prices but they have had extreemly little 45 acp - and the little they had mostly second tier stuff.....But it is all ridiculous 2X+ what we were paying before CT event...Well, got to pay to play as they say (or reload ;-)).

For those of you running low and do not reload...They have tons of 45 acp (probably other calibers also)...I see folks posting from time to time that they can't find ammo -so I figure I'd be a good citizen and give a heads up... (I AM not AFFILIATED! :-))...Two downsides: Minor, being that you live in a restrictive state you must upload/fax your FID (only send the front - not the back with your DOB and fingerprint!)...Major: You will pay out the noise...The smaller quantities are outrageously priced; 1000 lots are not too bad for the current environment (which is crazy anyway)...Unlike some sights they (do) have premium - top tier stuff...I think I am now set for the rest of the year - bhooooyaaa!

Pretty Amazing - maybe she can run as VP on Dr Carson's ticket in a few years ;-).

Dude, gotta look at the big picture and connect the dots...You are singling out only one part of my post...Do you think our society's values are on the right track? Don't you think that a 17 year old shooting a baby has something to do with lack of morals? Don't you think the fact the government supports abortion on such a grand scale contributes to the moral tone and value of life in our society...So drop the internet cool jargon, sit in a quit place and clear your head and "think".....And if I didn't convince you Dude, let me know and I'll send my posts to you for approval before I post them next time ;-).

Broke my heart when I heard this on TV today...And what does race got to do with this anyway, a scumbag is a scumbag is a scumbag and they come in all shapes, sizes, and colors...Our society is sick, good morals wane, evil is pardoned, and the good are persecuted...What do expect from a culture who kills 1,000,000+ unborn children a year?
