I tried retirement once at age 55. Got bored - after climbing Mt. Everest a couple of times and the other Big 10 mountains I decided to work again. Even those two Shuttle trips got old.
Went to a different Dr. yesterday. He injected my hand with steriods in an effort to clear up that darn jammed knuckle. The hand surgery part is completely healed - no more "trigger finger". It actually feels better already.
ESP guns? Tried the 9mm 1911 route a few years back. Did not like the recoil cycle. Bought a .40 Kimber. It is much easier to shoot than a 9mm. Makes bigger holes too. A .45ACP 1911 is really soft when loaded to a 130 PF. No, I don't buy into the waiting on the slide crap that some on this forum spout. You cannot pull the trigger faster than the gun will cycle.
Yes, I have some .45 mags that will hold 9 rounds and fit into the box. Starting a stage with 10 rounds works most of the time. I like 11 better. Yes, I admit openly on a public forum that I will dump a round on occasion. So break my sword in half and strip the buttoms from my tunic. Start the drum roll.
I just finished building a .40 STI 2011 a couple of weeks ago. It is set up up for IDPA and IPSC. It is very soft shooting. I built it just for grins. I think a really hot set up for ESP would be a 2011 in .45ACP. I may just stick a .45 top end on this one and see.
Bottom line is a shoot my G35 better than any gun I own. Stick a full length guide rod in it, add a steel mag well and you are good to go for ESP. That's right I said a steel mag well. Can't use a brass Seattle Slug but you can use a steel mag well. Talk about another dumb IDPA rule.
