Sees Sights Lift

Sees Sights Lift (7/11)

  1. Gordon Fallick built one for me about 20 yrs ago but he's not in the biz anymore. Big Bore was his model name if you find one. Gordon was recommended to me by a colleague who had been on the AF pistol team and had several of his custom 1911's. Had a beautiful Damascus steel 1911 Gordy had built.

    What category you going to compete in? Your own category!

    New Glock 2011

    A Barbecue Glock! What a concept! Needs a nice, tooled leather holster. Oops, I mean Kydex.
  4. And don't forget to tell your shooting buddies to NOT shoot centerfire anything at your 22 plates.
  5. Use heavy plates. Anyone who has shot steel has seen what happens to the lighter targets. You replace them. Pay once, cry once.
  6. What you want to do is get your 9mm PCC running like a 22lr. Costs a lot but worth it.
  7. Just about anything works, at least for a while. A guy at a three day course used vegetable oil on his 1911 just to prove that point. I've used Weapon Shield on centerfires for years. It was originally FP10 but the formula changed when the company was bought and the orginator (I think is name is George) started WS. He's a shooter and, I believe, an engineer of some sort. There is a technology behind the newer lubes like WS that reportedly leaves a lubricating film ("layer") after the carrier oil evaporates. The gun is extremely easy to clean when I use WS. Just wipe it out. No scrubbing, scraping, etc. That alone is good enough reason for me to use it. I use One Shot dry lube on rimfires. Really convenient and you don't have to take apart a 10/22 to lube it. Now let the lube wars begin!!
  8. I'm a casual gamer who uses competition for fun and to pick up the skills competition has to offer for the PD my training has taught me. So I have a blast! Show up with the gun I brought and tell them to put me in the correct category. I don't pre-plan a stage. I shoot what shows up when the timer starts. Safety and no shots off target are first priority. No prepping the trigger or other bad habits. I have fun and do ok.
  9. I have one. It doesn't reproduce the pull of my minimally modified Glock triggers. It is good for developing a smooth pull with a steady grip. Shooting a DA revolver does the same and is a lot more fun.
  10. I use this one but there are others https://shooterscalculator.com/ballistic-trajectory-chart.php Just run the ballistics like ddc said. You can figure out the best zero from the tables/graphs.
  11. That doesn't sound like a good idea. You're not addressing the problem. Like Sarge said, start by getting a decent belt. I prefer leather (Wilson) but whatever works for you. Try adjusting the angle of the holster as needed. The further forward you move the holster the straighter it has to be.
  12. That's the way I learned it way back when. Don't swing the gun up to your sight line (known as bowling) or down to your sight line (known as fishing or Zebco). Doing it properly, the learning curve to find the dot is very short.
  13. These last three posts (and probably others) are spot on. Just do a lot of weak hand dry fire like maur describes. And/or deadlifts, bottom up KB presses, bar hangs, etc. But like RT said, most people probably have enough strength to control the 2-3# gun. It's more likely an endurance thing so go for time in tension rather than pure strength. But to be clear, strength never hurts! (I'm Pavel certified in kettlebells (albeit before the 100 snatch test!) and my wife and I train with William McNeely who owned the #1 power lifting gym in the country before settling down and raising a family. You learn a lot from those guys. It's nice to see intelligent posts RE the physical demands of gun handling.)
  14. I used to carry a 1911 or Glock 30. That G30 was like carrying a brick in your pants!
