Sig 1911-22

S&W 1911 - 9mm

Gonna shoot .45 tomorrow --- May have to bug out early but Jake is coming too

Going racing, if the new engine dies I have a nice 7mm Magnum rifle coming that should put nice holes through it! Have fun guys, see you around.

i believe its going to be the colt 22 1911 and the trr8 for me.

 

Alec...you got some.spare moon clips i can borrow. Dont want to use your good tk ones. I could use the factory s&w ones

 

Yah, I got you covered.

 

I'll bring my spare belt rig if you want to try that as well.

 

-Alec

thanks..i am also leaving my pride at home since i will be shooting revolver for the first time

Good time today. Weather was nice and my squad was fun to shoot with.

 

Hope everyone else had fun too.

had a lot of fun today, we were not squaded with you guy's but we had a great squad to shoot with..vids later..

stage 6 TONY357/SAMANTHA

 

STAGE 1

 

 

samantha stage 3

 

 

tony357 stage 3

 

I have to thank the squads who let us "cut in" and get a few more stages in --

 

We did make the Hockey game at 2 -- Jake got a goal and an assist but it was a long day for sure

 

Had a blast as always -- I do need to change my lube on the colt -- Trying to get a way with eezox but it just doesn't cut it as a lubricant -- great preservative - shitty lube

 

I started to have feed issues at the end and my slide just wasn't slamming closed

 

We'll be back

Glad you made it to the game on time

 

Your boy can shoot too! We were all pretty impressed (we were the last group you shot with)

 

Try SLiP 2000 EWL for lube, stuff is awesome.

scores are up.

Sweet, Thanks Alec. It was good seeing you at the comp. Thanks for letting me try your TR8. It is now high my list to pick one up.

 

I am happy with 4th in Pistol Iron - shooting full power ammo in a stock Glock 35 from a triple retention holster

 

I am not happy with last in carbine open though....

 

Also, here is the video the guys from CT were taking at the match.

After talking with thise guys for a bit (the guys in the green jersey's) they actually set up and train for these stages. Does anybody else set these up and practice them or do you just shoot them in the comps themselves?

Rick , all the carbine open scores were really close. Rich S. is a beast with that gun. Cool video from the green CT guys, didn't get a chance to speak with them though.

 

I'm *sort of* in the process of setting up my own personal steel challenge targets after money clears up after the wedding, but my practice has always been at the competition themselves.

Hey. I did not finish last....

Yeah he is.

 

I had two stages where I logged a miss on a scoring run - Jersey Blaster and Smoke and Hope.

 

I was just pushing way to fast and out-driving my headlights big time.

 

But if you never push yourself to failure, you don't get any better.

 

The CT guys were interesting. They seem to be "comp shooters only" with no real interest in self defense. It is merely a sport to them. I had a hard time trying to relate to their take on the whole thing.

I feel stupid but I never even thought of "training" the stages.

 

I figured everyone was like the guys in my crew - just shoot the match.

 

My end goal of shooting in these comps is training/practice to engage multiple targets under simulated stress (timers and abusive friends are helpful for inducing stress) using the tools (holster, gun, ammo) that I depend on daily.

 

My brain is telling me that gaming it will defeat this purpose. My heart wants to win.

Hey, I didnt finish last in revolver iron..

 

Better watch out Alec

I can understand the different mindset of steel challenge to different people, It's nothing but a fun " sport " for me. Whereas LEO can look at it as an additional training tool, emphasis on practice drawing and accuracy. Utlize service equipment, etc. I'm in it for the fun of it, my equipment is a reflection of that, never in a self defense situation would you go in with a tricked out revolver and speed holster.

Hey, I didnt finish last in revolver iron..

 

Better watch out Alec

next time i'll just shoot stages 1-3 and take a DNF on 4-6 , give you a fighting chance.

 

oh snap! I went there.

 

No matter jammy, as long as you, and do, look good while doing it - all is right in the world.

Man, I missing out on all the fun! That was a nicely produced video!

You guys are good!

The ruger was giving us a few problems.. I believe it was FTE and not a mag issue, the RO cleared it when it jammed twice so i did not see the exact problem.

 

Plus the mags were jammed when it happened, the mags are hard to get out all the time for Sammy they do not drop you have to pull them out so i am going to install the mag delete bushing and extractor from Volquartsen..

get rid of the magazine safety while your at it.

the bushing eliminates it, i may have to change the hammer to a mk 2 to use the bushing..

To bad we had to leave --- I think if Jake knew the MP5 was coming out, he would have skipped the hockey game...

 

It does suck to see your name at the bottom of the score sheet -- Even with DNF

 

Jake was running, what looks to be, 3rd or 4th in the stages we did shoot -- I was in the lower half of the pack - lot's of Fail to feed at the end --

 

Seeing that video makes me wish I stayed thru the whole thing too... Only 8 more weeks of Hockey
