Vlad, you shooting a Glock now? What happened to the m&p?

Same here, I think police should be required to shoot matches once and a while. I read a story years ago about a cop that had almost never practiced and had a feeling one night that he should do some dry fire and draws. The next day he had to defend himself and he credited the practice the night before saving his life. My biggest though on the whole subject is gun handling has to be second nature.

Vlad you owned this thread, explained the stress perfectly. For me I get overly stressed out on our match weekend and I get zero sleep. I'm there setting up from 5 till dark on Saturday, then back as soon as the sun comes up. Finish setting up, answer a hundred questions, then have the shooter briefing, then answer all the questions that I just answered during the brief another hundred times, I worry way to much about anyone getting hurt and anyone cheating, did I mention the questions? Then while all of this is going on I have no time to think about the stage I'm about to shoot so I step to the line and just wing it. Also as soon as Im about to go people are still asking me all kinds of questions. During my short walk to the line I always get an adrenaline dump to the point where I'm about to start punching the targets and I can't even see straight .... yet I still win Now can anyone explain how operator drills mimic the real thing or stress? Vicious, Believe it or not I have never actually shot a paintball gun. Truth be told I was never really a gun guy. I grew up shooting clays here and there and never took it seriously at all. I stumbled into this competitive shooting thing almost on accident. I'm a retired motocrosser and just a really competitive person. So how do we find out who is better without actually shooting each other. We can all shoot a match and see who wins. Then we can setup some of the drills that people train with and see who does it faster and more accurately.

The 4th Sunday of every month at 8am in Quinton NJ, here is our website http://www.quinton3gun.com/index.php rifle, pistol and shotgun. Any questions feel free to ask.

Well since we're doing the "getting pulled over" thread again for the hundredth time and I'm really bored I'm going to start the operator vs competition shooter thread again. Was just browsing youtube and found this video I'm a competition shooter and I feel confident I can beat any operator at a 3 gun match (even though I don't get to shoot nearly as much as I use to because of the new baby). As far as all the weird ass games the operators do to try to train for the real thing,,, I feel that would be no problem for me either because my gun handling is so second nature so all I would have to react to or think about (yeah I know there is no time to think in a gun fight) is tactical advantage. To me the biggest downfall of all the operators is they don't shoot enough and when they do it's a very repetitive and one sided drill. Shooting matches are all completly different and there is always different challenges to face. Ah shit I lost my tran of thought after that diaper change. ... Anyway let's hear your thoughts on this. Also this is an open challenge to any operator who wants to come out and try our 3 gun match thinking you are going to beat me. Later you can come at me with your training or challenge and I'll shut you down there to.

There is no such thing as an AR gunsmith. Just like unicorns, glock armors, leprechauns... Takes longer to grab the right size Allen wrench for the gas block than it does to tighten the barrel nut. Just like the guys said above, YouTube is your friend and if you have any other questions (witch you won't because it's really simple) there is plenty of knowledgeable people on this forum that can help you out.

Also if you want to check out my Springfield Range officers I have one in 45 and the wife has the 9 we can meet up at Quinton for you to try them out.

I'm with Walt, I don't always shoot 1911's but when I do it's a series 70. As far as calibers, just go with the 9. If you ever decide to shoot USPSA you can shoot SS minor and have 2 extra rounds. Don't really know the IDPA rules as far as major/minor. Components or ammo is cheaper with 9 to so you will shoot more.

Maksim, we had about 40 shooters this match, not bad for our 3rd match. We're predicting 50 for the next match, gotta get the word out more. I believe we can handle 55-60 shooters easily. Things are going really smoothly. We're working hard to make this the best 3 gun match in all of NJ. Low Profile, thanks for coming out. Tell everyone you know and bring more people.

The next match is Sunday May 28th. This match and all matches at Quinton sportsmans club are open to the public. 5 big bad ass stages. Website http://www.quinton3gun.com/index.php Remember, if come out early, help with setup and stay after to help break down Santa will bring you a new gun. Setup starts at 7am. Registration closes at 8:30 and I will have a new shooters briefing at 8:30. Match announcements at 9 with the match starting after that. $20 for members and $25 for non members.

All of the keyboard operators here should come out and try to.

This, especially if you like hitting the bullseye, hate recoil and want a real gun (just not a kimber)

The weather looks perfect, no rain. Sunday is gun day, 3 gun to be exact. So dust off your dancing shoes and let's shoot some steel...

Thanks guys I'll check there

Anyone know any place in south jersey that sells torsion springs like this https://www.grainger.com/product/GRAINGER-APPROVED-180-Degree-Carbon-Steel-Music-3HPD9?s_pp=false&picUrl=//static.grainger.com/rp/s/is/image/Grainger/3HPN6_AS01?$smthumb$

I'm working on a rain date of April 30th IF the match gets rained out.

That is awesome thank you, just got 8# of 8208 and zone primers. I also got 4% cash back using my active junky account. If anyone wants free $10 and lots of cash back at different online stores send me your email and I'll send you an invite so we both get $10. I know that sounds like some weird made up scam but it actually works, TBill told me and others about it.

I would like to know the answer to this too but... As easy as guns are to get off the street I don't see anyone who isn't even smart enough to say "welcome to Walmart" or flip a burger becoming an amiture gunsmith.

This thread is incredibly repetitive.

Hello and welcome. Where and what do you shoot?

YouTube it, anyone who can replace the batteries in a TV remote can be a Glock armorer.

Also the talk in there about releasing benzene is complete bull shit. No industrial site in this country is allowed to release benzene. That is just made up shit for the hipsters to cry about. If they are so concerned about benzene being released into the air they should never own or ride in anything gasoline powered because every time you fuel up you release benzene into the air.

Yeah let's kill more American jobs and make things more unsafe. We don't need proper infrastructure to make things work let's just keep relying on the shit from 100 years ago. Let's just sing kumbyya, smoke some weed and tweet about it on our Obama phones.

It would probably make a good duck gun, it's made to load fast. The only downside for hunting is its a 3". They make a 3500 witch is a 3 1/2 inch gun but I heard that gun is picky with target loads. there is also the regular m3000.
