even with all that anguish, you still made the top 10 overall. Didn't you?

I use a 14.5' variable and a taper crimp.

Go to a Movie Dos Equis or Tecate

Natural! Leather or lace? Leather Heather or Pam

Interesting. So you're using a 40 extractor, 9mm ejector and 40/9mm conversion barrel?

Yeah, I can see how Mark would be mistaken for a Malaysian.

I'd use it for fertilizer. It's not worth risking injury to yourself or your blaster.

When I was a young boy, my Grandfather kept a pump action 22 rifle loaded and propped up next to his seat at the breakfast table. It was a good 30 yards from the window to his garden. While seated at breakfast, he'd raise the window and send those darn chipmunks straight to hell. I saw him shoot dozens of them over the years and he never missed.

I like the sound of that method. Effective and not permanent.

This rocks and I'll be bying it the next time I go to the store. http://soundcheck.walmart.com/acdc/#/music

holy crap.. that's not good. I've never seen a connector break like that.

1985. It was not a good year for tunes imho. Metallica and Dire Straits were tolerable.

If not the trigger spring, maybe the firing pin safety or trigger bar itself?

awesome!

Trigger return spring probably broke. It's a common failure.

My first big match was the 2006 TX State IDPA championship. It was about 100 degrees and 100% humidity (June in S. Texas). I'd only been shooting IDPA for 4 months (less than 12 matches) but managed to stumble into CDP Sharpshooter in a classifier a week before the match. I was definitely not prepared mentally this level of competition. On my first stage, I double tapped a non threat in the forehead and got two procedural penalties. One for leaving cover with an empty gun and one for not moving while shooting. I finished 13th out of 16 in CDP SS. I was all over the place and it was downright ugly. The drive home gave me 6 hours to figure out if this was a game that I wanted to continue playing. There was one stage that I shot really well, 15th out of 165 shooters overall. It was 25 or 35 yards, I can't recall but I think it was called The Canyon and I only dropped 1 pt. So I started focusing on what I did right instead of what I did wrong and was able to get my head together for the next time.

Oh man... I just took a ride in a time machine. Gave me goosebumps hearing that. I bet it's been over 10 years since I last heard PF.

Hang in there. Things will turn around. Sorry about your cat though. Gary

Thanks folks. Derrick, yes you will. I've got a new holster to break in.

That's tough to call from the video, once he was on the ground, I couldn't even see the gun, no less where it was pointed.

A "Manspring?" too funny Official scores are posted: http://ctidpa.com/index.php?option=com_doc...9&Itemid=63

dangit, it's going to be dark here at 6pm.

Thanks, Guys. I'm still feeling good about it this morning. No, Steve, I won't be using a pocket sized blaster in the Trophy match. I'm planning to use the Springfield that laid down on me last Sunday. I've got a new mainspring installed and she's ready to put MORE man bullets downrange.

Tonight, our local IDPA club held a BUG match and I was the MD. We shot 6 stages and there were 17 shooters. Using my trusty Kimber Ultra CDP and 230 grain man bullets, I came in 1st overall and didn't drop a single point or earn any penalties. I've been trying to do this for 3 years. Yeah, it's a BUG match but I'll take it. I'm pretty excited about it. Gary

Here's the deal... In the middle of that pin there is a microscopic spring that rides in a detent in the middle of the pin. If that spring was not installed, or installed improperly, the pin will never stay in place no matter what you do. Look at the front of the sight that's closest to the ejection port. Do you see a round hole? That is there so the spring can be depressed when the pin is installed.put the gun on a big white towel and push the pin out beyond the center hole. If the spring is in there then it's probably rolled over sideways. shake it out, reinstallit and while compressing it with a tiny punch, push the pin back in. I have fixed two like this already. Gary
