I've always hated wearing a velcro inner and outer belt since they wear out easily and I've wondered if using a Cobra style belt and several belt keepers over a normal belt would be rigid enough to be competitive.
The alternative is a ratcheting style belt, but if I could use a front clip on style with belt keepers (like most LE belts are designed), I'd be very comfortable with that set-up holding up.
However, I've never seen anyone do that who is serious about IPSC/USPSA (M & GM).
I own one of their 30 round magazines. It feels cheap like it's going to break HOWEVER....
It doesn't break and I just can't kill it!
Looks tacky too, but I think I may get a few more and just spray-paint them some opaque color.
I've been shooting Super for years now in IPSC Classic. It ends up handling like a REALLY reliable 9mm 1911. I'd recommend it if you're at a range where you CAN get your brass. If you've got tall grass, stick with 40.
I dug this thread up out of the dead.
That first clip at 31 seconds is the most "gamer" stuff I've ever seen.
I'd love to practice that but I can see RO's giving you penalties because it SEEMS like it should be against the rules even if done properly - so I'm not quite sure how I feel about it.
With the JP, I take a fired .223 case, hammer the mouth shut, and support the JP barrel on a block of wood and beat the crud out with the brass as a chisel.
The brass doesn't harm the brake and I can scrape everything, even the radius in the brake.
Very good discussion.
Been shooting IPSC minor Classic (Single Stack with a bull barrel) for several years straight now.
There's really a low threshold for failure and the only division that is even less forgiving of mistakes is revolver.
If you stop respecting your sights with a skinny gun or a round gun, you are in for a quick wake-up call.
Agreed - I wish I was just getting started today.
Lots of cheap quality equipment available too.
There was no such thing as a good competition ready 2011 for $1000 when I got started.
Same goes for PCC, I would have loved to have something like that 18 years ago.
Square Dust Cover in IPSC Classic
Hey there! I saw a really cool 1911 for IPSC Classic the other day (Not USPSA Single Stack) and I'd like to know:
Is a square dust cover that’s under the max length legal in Classic?
Who makes a one piece frame that's like this? (Other than Metrillio)
What's the longest lasting barrel brand for 1911's these days? (For rounds fired before accuracy is lost)
