Hey ya'll, The weather is loooookkkkiiinnnnn gooooooddd for this weekend! (but dont quote me on that...this is GA and weather can change with a ) I am packing up registration stuff and heading to the range this morning! Let the fun begin!!! See ya'll soon and have a safe trip....dd

I just had to jump in on this one since I had this issue when I started shooting IPSC matches. Having small hands (right hand shooter), I "thought" and had convienced myself, that I could not reach the mag release with strong hand thumb simply because it felt awkward "flipping" the gun in my hand. When I tried this flipping technique it seemed that I had to "find" my grip each time after a reload and the fear of "flipping" the gun out of my hand/control was always there in my subcon. Unfortunately, I convienced myself that it was "impossible" to flip and release with strong hand only and I developed the habit of "pushing the release button with the weak hand thumb". I would hit the mag release with my weak hand thumb as I was going for a new mag which eliminated my need to regrip with strong hand after a "flip". Heck it worked for me and why are these people (GM..M..A...B...etc) telling me that it was not the most efficient way to reload??? Then one day, probably a year later ( I am hard headed sometimes..lol), as I was "fondeling" a friends new SV >>>>Wahhhlahhhh .... I flipped... hit.... and stuck the mag change.... without even realizing that I had done it! SS and Tony pointed this out reallllyyy quick and said "imagine that" you did it! Wow I thought >>> hmmmm I need to try this again ... I did it again ...and again.. so I picked up my 1911 and danggggg I did it with it too! how did that happen????? And I answered my own question at that moment... >>>>>>>>>I did it without "thinking" about it<<<<<<<<<<<<<< My thought process when I first started shooting IPSC 5 yrs ago was.... heck .. I have been shooting guns since I was 5 or 6.. this IPSC stuff should just be a no brainer....a breezeeee ..lol>>>duck n cover ya'll!.. I have to be honest.... the only 2 things that I was knowledgeable about prior to this sport are > #1>gun safety and #2>plinkin a tin can around Ok...so i am long winded... but those who know me ...well...ya'll know that already don't you.... thank you for your patience and input with "newbies" like myself who "think they know how to shoot" but have yet to learn how. cya at GA State..dd (ooopsss....i kinda went off the subject of mag release technique didnt i)..

lmao... thanks chris! really...teeheee>>>your version was much better than john's... and no one had a cam?????? (what a shame..you could have added another classic, "don't let this happen to you", in your collection)... .. ok..wiping tears..catch breath..rflmao gotta share this with you all >>>> wanna hear his version? >>>> he calls me and says .. "hey baby ..I shot a stage so fast today .... my underwear couldn't keep up!" thanks again for such a "detailed" description of todays follies... and the heat is off me as well ... for now anyway.. cya next week.. debi
