Harry, how does that OBRAMS work? Is it exactly the same as USPSA? Are holsters used? Where do you get mag pouches for rimfire mags?

 

Exactly the same, except you do not need a holster. You're welcome to draw from one if you desire. As for mag pouches, it depends on what type of gun you're shooting. I run a GSG1911 so single stack mag pouches fit the bill.

Thanks. I ordered a M&P 22 the other day (Can't pick it up until the 9th though, ogam). I usually shoot my M&P 9L, so I wanted to stay with the same platform. The GSG or Colt/Umarex will probably find a spot in the safe as well. Hopefully the M&P 22 fits the 9L's holster. I guess I'll have to modify some mag holders as I don't see anything for these.

Not sure about the 9L, but the standard 9 shares a holster with the 22. As for mag pouches, don't overthink it. There is no money in OBRAMS, so there's no need to run around at mach 2, and thus no need for mag pouches that firmly hold your mags. Last year I ran my HK USP mag holders with the GSG mags sitting in them loosely and never lost one.

The 9L is just longer, should work fine. Good point about the mag holders. I'm not trying to win anything anyway. I'm just looking to have some fun.

Very similar to USPSA, and as far as mag holders, I use some soft double mag holders I got with a bunch of KCI mags for my Glock. Not the best, but they work.

Harry I'm looking into buying a new gun other than the 22 so I can come out and play more! I would love to try knockdown and the OBRAMS sounds fun too, I just do not know anything about that! I need to come out and watch you guys do the USPSA a couple of times. you would have kicked my butt if your gun didn't give ya a hard time a couple of times!! I had alot of fun and looking forward to learning and doing more! I can't make up my mind weather I want a 9 or 45? 9 is alot cheaper to shoot, but oh I do love the 45"s! See ya soon! Lisa

Lisa,

 

OBRAMS is 22 LR and just fun to shoot, I'd stick with your MK III, yea mag changes are a **** sometimes but practice a little and they will become easier, also if it's one mag that is giving you problems, mark it, then you would use that as your start mag.

 

9mm is cheaper to shoot and productions is fun in USPSA and good for knockdown steel, but I get you on the .45ACP, but you may not want to go with a single stack (major) to start, cost of ammo and also only allowed 8 rounds in each mag.

 

Will talk at the next steel match, and for OBRAMS don't come and watch, come and shoot it next month.
