we had a gal that worked here a few years back......"Ima Pigg". No joke.

There was a lady from Texas named Ima Hogg.

Take the rib off and get a "clip on" sight. I think HiVis makes them. It's a big fiber optic that just clips onto the barrel. Works well even in low light.

But with the rib off, it looks goofy with those posts sticking up. I don't know how to get them off without ruining the barrel.

Have you patterned it yet?

No. I haven't fired it in decades.

I plan to though.

Now you have a bunch of front sights!

LOL, yeah. The front bead sight went through the rib and threaded into the near end of that choke gizmo. That's what held the rib on. Now, I'm going to have to drill and tap into one of those posts to screw the sight into.

I want a tritium front sight. Both Meprolight and Trijicon make them that thread in where the bead would normally go. XS sights has one (with a Trijicon tube) that epoxies over an existing bead sight.

A bird gun collecting rust in the closet, a hacksaw, and a little free time is a dangerous combination.

I've been threatening to do this for years. Finally got around to it.

Still needs a front sight (but since this is a home defense gun and the longest shot possible inside my apartment is about 20 feet, a front sight may not an absolute necessity):

Here's the C-Lect Choke I cut off. (I took another 1.5" off after this.):

Without the rib:

Oh, that is sweet!

January 14, 2011

maybe bc there are less scores to be run. . . .

The same thought crossed my mind. I'm not b!tching about it. I was just a little surprised. More power to them if they can get them done a little early.

January 13, 2011

updates are usually run around the 15th of the month, give or take.

Yeah, today is the 13th. And I thought I saw comments about this from early yesterday morning, before business hours on the 12th. I've never seen it that early before. (Not sure I've ever seen it early, certainly not on the 12th. I have seen it come out late.)

Anyway, I reached a milestone of sorts; finally shot enough classifiers in one division to have one "expire."

When did the thing update? It caught me off guard.

Congratulations to A62335 for moving up in class! Way to go, Jeremy!

Me, I moved all the way up from 30.11 to 32.61 :rolleyes:

But I did become High D Class because hk_mtbr seems to have let his USPSA membership expire.

December 17, 2010

If you are still looking at 5" 45s let me know I'll let you shoot my Springfield Loaded and see how you like it.

I may take you up on that at a match in Hobbs some time. They should start up again in February.

I like the looks of the Springfields as well as their reputation, but I've never fired one (except for a . . . that other pistol they make, you know, the ones that don't have quite as much metal in them).

December 16, 2010

10.5.17: A shot fired at a metal target from a distance of less than 23 feet, measured from the face of the target to the nearest part of the competitor’s body in contact with the ground (see Rule 2.1.3).

Ah, now I see where this jumping in the air and shooting idea comes from. :roflol:

December 16, 2010

That would be 45ACP first, 38 Super second, and 10mm third. The only 3 calibers designed specifically for the 1911.

10mm would be interesting. I've always liked the Kimber Eclipse, and it comes in 10mm. Hmm.

Not what I need at the moment, but would be cool to have.

I know .38 Super is a good caliber, I just don't know what I'd do with it. Not even on the radar at this point. A few years down the road, who knows?

December 16, 2010

Well, my classifier was evidently too late to count this month. It wouldn't push me up in class anyway.

I figure it will raise my average to 32.61, up from 30.11. Yay.

December 16, 2010

5" .45 is the way to go

I know. But I'm leaning toward getting a 5" 9mm and shooting SS minor for a while. **Ducks and takes cover as the purists hurl rotten fruit** A guy at a match recently let me shoot his and it was like shooting a .22

Don't worry, I also plan on getting a 5" .45 next after that.

Man up and buy both. You aren't a REAL 1911 devotee til you have at least 3 calibers.

I have a .45, but with it's 3" barrel and aluminum frame, the muzzle flip is somewhat . . . violent. It's not really suited for competition but that's what I've been using in SS because that's what I have. Going from a 25-ounce .45 to a 43-ounce 9mm does seem like cheating :closedeyes:

It seems like it takes me forever to get back on target after each shot. When I shot the 9mm, I only fired 10 rounds, but the last few were just as fast as I could pull the trigger and the front sight never lifted off the target. I was like, "Whoa, I got to get me one of these!"

I know shooting major is the way to go. But my shot-to-shot splits are terrible. I'm usually one of the slowest guys at the match. I make some of that up with accuracy, but I still finish near the bottom. When I try to push the speed just a little, I start having trigger control issues that I have never had before. I think going minor for a while would help me--like training wheels, lol, and that's embarassing that I need training wheels, but I do.

I don't know that I'll need a 1911 in .40. (Though I have considered that I could buy a .40 and shoot minor with that, then up the load to major whenever I choose. That's a thought.)

My pl- . . . po- . . . pr- . . . other pistol is a .40.

December 16, 2010

speaking of gear, got some new Wilson mags for my SS gun to play with. Now I think I may have to get a new gun to go with my new mags

I recently got the Comp-Tac Belt Holster for a 1911. Used it once at the match Saturday. Now I'm thinking of getting that Dawson Super-Tuned STI Spartan to put in it. (Some kind of full-size 1911 will soon replace my 3" Kimber in it. Still not 100% sure what I'm going to get.)

Ordered some CR Speed mag pouches. Still waiting for them to come in.

What I really need is a bunch of ammo to go practice with. I probably haven't fired 150 rounds outside of matches this year. "Practice? What's that? This match is practice for the next match." (And I wonder why I'm still D Class in every division I've shot.)

December 15, 2010

The Boy Scouts taught me to Be Prepared.

What's the problem?

December 15, 2010

Well, if I'm the RM, we're gonna measure from your feet or foot, whichever is closest to the bullet impact, and forget all that triggeronomy.

I'm not even an RO, though I have played one a couple times when the real RO was the shooter, but this seems like the way to go. Measure to the feet. If it's close enough that the difference between the distance to the hand and the distance to the feet even matters, then it's going to cause a lot of debate about where the hand really was. If the foot closest to the impact was just outside ten feet, and the hand might have been an inch or two inside ten feet, I'd be inclined to give the shooter the benefit of the doubt. (Unless you're shooting from some real awkward position where the hand is obviously way closer than the feet. Then I think that would have to be determined on a case-by-case basis.)

December 14, 2010

If your hands are (hypothetically) 60 inches above and 20 inches foreward of your toes, and you shoot the ground 10 feet (120 inches) from your toes, then your hands were a few inches less than ten feet from the impact.

I don't know how likely this is, or if there's any real reason not to just measure from the closest part of the closest foot.
