[2010 Mississippi Classic]

We had a great time and look forward to next year! And I can't tell you how "Window Licker" got his name...

"Special Ed...."

If I'm not mistaken that name came from Randy (Michelle Willis' youngest son) @ a local match about a year ago! For those of you who don't know Michelle, she is Rodney May's sister who worked stage 3 with her dad.

I would also like to thank John and the rest of the staff, competitors and sponsers who make this match what it is. This was my first RO job at a major match and boy was it FUN! I was one of the one's sweating like a pig on stage 5. I got my exercise this weekend and enjoyed every minute of it. I would also like to thank Kevin "DOC" Martin for all the advice for a new RO.

See you all next year!

[ooooops!]

Well, yesterday started out as any other shooting Sunday would, a 2 hour drive to one of my local shooting spots, great people, great stages, well at least the ones I got to shoot!

It all started Saturday night with a little cleaning of my new Limited gun. This would be my first match with the new to me gun and I wanted it to be in prestine shape. I broke it all down on the bench Saturday afternoon and cleaned up everything real good. I lubed it up and reassembled! Sunday morning came and I drove to EAPS range in s. Louisiana to one of my local ranges for a great, HOT day of shooting. Well all was well on the first stage except I had loaded one to many rounds in my mags and they didn't want to seat very well. Shuck one round and put a check by a lesson learned. Still didn't do that bad, 4th out of 12 on that stage. So, it's on to the next one. This stage started out seated behind the wheel of a make shift car w/ gun loaded inside the glove box. Cool!!! I hear beep, then I commence with the hose fest, after shooting about 12 shots, I reload and make my way through a door in the stage where another 12 shots await, but wait, as I start engaging the targets, I notice my slide not cycling very well. I slam the back of the slide with the palm of my weak hand and keep shooting away, but wait, it happened again. I clear it, but wait, it happened again and again and again. After about 5-6 times of doing this, I am about to launch my new found love over the berm b/c by this time my blood pressure has raised by more than a few points and then the RO says, "Looks like you lost your extractor!" Dooh!!!!! My external extractor pin has worked its way from its lovely home and launched somewhere on stage 4 @ EAPS. Someone, ie...<ME> forgot to stake the pin back in. CHECK! Another lesson learned! So after unloading and showing clear, yes I had to shake the round from the barrel, I reholstered and went back to find my parts. I found my extractor, thankfully, but there was no way I would find the pin and tiny spring. So, I proceed to my range bag to retire my mags and head to the safe area to ungun myself and call it a day. Next time I will have a backup gun. Check another lesson learned. A friend of mine offered to let me shoot his backup gun, but it would not fit onto my 012 holster. Thanks anyway Joel! Well, I have chocked all this up as lessons learned and hopefully not have these happen again. After a long ride back home beating myself up for stupidity, I've come to the conclusion that a crappy day shooting is still better than a good day at work!

[Caspian Hi-Cap....]

Cool! Well I just started working some loads up yesterday afternoon and got to shoot it for the first time. Wow! That's a great shooting gun Jim, the trigger is sweeeet! Also, I decided to go with the Safariland 012, it works great too. Jim, who would you recommend to do a hard chrome over were the milling was done? I know it's just looks, but..... I may be considering doing that in the next year or so.

[What's wrong here?]

This is a good one too...

OH! SHE DIDN'T! That's crazy!

[Caspian Hi-Cap....]

Yes thats my build, the trigger is from EGW, I try to use as much stuff from EGW as I can=quality stuff

and quality folks at Egw George is one fine fella as all his help is

Jim/Pa

Thanks Jim, any idea how long ago you built it? Just curious.

[Natchez has CCI small pistol primers]

Already sold out! I should have been paying attention earlier!

[Stage array problems- when to move on?]

If your not really acquinted w/ the TS, it is just like any other target. It starts out dead still, when it changes direction, it is still! Don't chase it! Until you are real confident in your ability, start at the top and work your way down to keep the speed at a minimum. The biggest thing is, don't let it pysch you out, you have to be confident in yourself! Too many people dread a stage with a TS and actually beat themselves before the even start shooting!!!!

[Caspian Hi-Cap....]

It's from EGW

Thanks waktasz, several people have asked me about it.

[Caspian Hi-Cap....]

Frank Garcia sells a race type holster that works with the Caspian high cap, if the gun you bought is the one Im

thinkin it is I made some of the mags out of TZ mags tubes, I was making these mags before

Caspian came out with the new ones, I like to use the TZ mags I get them from EAA, they are made

by the same folks who make Caspian tubes, and the base pads from Caspian will work just fine.

I dont recommend stuffing that extra round in these mags, Ive found over time that doing so

will cause the "V" notch to swell out and eventually you will start to have nose dives.

Ya have to keep that second round over under the top round so they will feed like they are

supposed too.

Jim, this is the gun:

Not sure about the E in the trigger? Anyone know of this trademark? Maybe just blank that has been lightened with creativity?

[Caspian Hi-Cap....]

My Caspian .40 mags (built by Jim Anglin -- he's "jjanglin" here on the Forum) hold 20 rounds. I find the UPLULA mag loader very helpful. Seating a full mag with one round in the chamber requires some extra 'oomph'; OK on (LA)MR, but any mags that I have on the belt for reloading during a stage contain only 18-19 rounds.

The Blade-Tech DOH for a government 1911 works well. I've not tried any of the race holsters, but look at Travis Tomasie on the cover of one of the recent Front Sight magazines. He shoots a Caspian and uses a race-type holster.

In looking for gear that fits a Caspian gun/holster, ask other Caspian users before buying. The frame and mags are shaped different enough from other 'brands' that there is not a universal fit. Even holsters and mag pouches that say they fit Caspian may require some amount of modification before that fit is solid and secure. I've had people tell me that 'X' piece of gear will fit Tanfoglio and Para, therefore it will fit Caspian ... and it does not fit, at least not 'right out of the box'.

Parts: Caspian Arms is a Forum dealer. Jim Anglin in Omaha reconstructed my gun and built the mags. The other recommendation is Evolution Gun Works (EGW) in Pennsylvania.

Thanks FranDoc, lots of useful info. Jim Anglin is who built the gun. Don't know about the 5 mags I got with it? I like the newer race holsters...ie..ghost..limcat stealth...etc.. but not sure if any of those will work with the Caspian? Anyone have any experiance with these?

[Caspian Hi-Cap....]

The mainspring housing is also proprietary.

Thanks Renee!!!

[Caspian Hi-Cap....]

To increase the mag capacity to 20 rds, contact either Henning or Beven Grams. The Grams follower and Spring for the Tanfoglio magazines will increase the capacity to 20rds.

EGW also makes the mag wells for the Caspian Hi-cap.

Thanks Alan, it already has the mag well. Love it!

[Caspian Hi-Cap....]

Some are reporting 21 rounds but it takes some work. 20 should be obtainable with just springs and followers...... but you will need a loading device for the last few rounds, those suckers are hard on your thumbs (more than most other mags).

http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...hl=caspian+mags

Great thread, thanks for the info. I called myself searching for this stuff, I guess I need practice on that also.

[Caspian Hi-Cap....]

Also, how many rounds are folks getting in their Caspian hi-cap mags? I know they come in 18 round .40, but some ingenious person out their is bound to have pushed it to get more huh? Are they propriatary too, or will s_i mags work?

And I assume that all race holsters that fit s_i guns will fit this?

[Caspian Hi-Cap....]

Caspian does as well. I may be wrong (have been 1,000 times before) but Shooters Connection or Dawson Precision MAY sell Caspian parts as well.

Thanks jasmap! Just wondering, I'm new to Caspian and the limited game. I've been shooting production for the past 1.5 years since I started IPSC shooting.

[Caspian Hi-Cap....]

Is Brownells the only place that sells parts for these? Are there any places to buy aftermarket parts?

[Caspian Hi-Cap....]

I just bought a limited Caspian hi-cap from another BE member and was wondering something. Is the Caspian Hi-Cap a propriatary product or does any other parts interchange with it? Top end looks to be standard 1911 but the frame behind the trigger widens out to make the hi-cap part.

What parts are propriatary and what parts aren't???? Any comments would be appreciated.

[Yard Sign]

I like those signs! We need to see them posted all over the place! Maybe then people will get the picture!
