Does anybody know when and where classifier matches will be held? Been "Retired" for a decade. Now I'm trying to get back in and get my daughter classified. We are in southwest Ohio
Thank you in advance

Browning 1911-22. great size and easy to operate for small hands. Trigger MUST be worked on prior to letting the youth shoot it. M daughters came factory with a 8 1/4 lbs with the crisp feel of dragging a chain across the driveway.

East of Akron on st rt224. Couple you're haul from Dayton area.
I think.

Remember, I did not advocate ATLANTA. Atlanta AREA - someplace out of the actual metro area. Not sure you could pay me enough to live inside the 285 beltway.
I grew up in Phoenix, and the shooting is out of sight there, no doubt, but you come damned close in the Atlanta area, and you don't have to drive so far for a change of scenery. A couple of hours in any direction and you a dramatic change of climate or scenery - Ocean/Gulf to the east and south, mountains/snow north.
Pretty good job environment. Macon, Newnan, Peachtree City. Birmingham, AL is another good choice.

I think Ohio is too hot in the summer.

I know Payson has snowmobiling areas and that is at most 1 1/2 hours away. There may be something closer. Flagstaff is just over 2 hours away with several areas.
Now that is just too cool. Swimming, shooting, and snowmobiling all in the same weekend. If I were able to move anywhere it would be out there in the mountains.

I used to travel all over the US as part of my job. When the closing of our office left us with the opportunity to move anywhere we picked Phoenix. I know. Stupid hot is a deal breaker. All I will say is this... humidity will nuke you faster than temp. We lived in St Louis before moving here and I will tell you I will take the weather here any day of the week. We routinely eat outdoors if we are in the shade when it is 100. It just doesn't feel like it. You are at the epicenter of the USPSA world. Weekend matches here frequently include Rob, Angus, Nils plus a host of other GMs who will snap your ego like a dry twig. Prescott and Flagstaff are an easy drive away and normally 20 degrees cooler or more. I have started the day in the swimming pool, driven up to Flag to snowshoe and back to the hotub easily in a day.
If it is still too hot I would go with some of the others pointing you towards CO, UT, or somewhere around there. Beautiful area of the country.
How long of drive do you have to get far enough up in the mountains to go snowmobiling?

Ams oil series 2000 racing grease. Very very small amounts and it stays in place

Bumping it during recoil will engage the slide stop. AND I have had it engage during recoil just because of the extra mass of more metal will flip that thing up during recoil with major power loads.

You didn't go Mac because even I can figure out iMovie.

I've had a GSG for a few months now and i have a few observations.
1. Keep your barrel retention screw TIGHT! You know that little allen head screw on the side of the frame you remove to take it apart? Well, on mine, if the screw isn't absolutely tight, the barrel will wobble up and down in the bushing and the accuracy goes out the window. I found this out the hard way after noticing the accuracy diminish recently.
2. The main spring housing can be swapped with a standard 1911 unit but you do need to swap over the GSG spring and the two parts that go on either end of the spring. My only concern was putting a GSG spring which is not true 1911 spec in a 1911 spec main spring housing. I went and mic'd the GSG spring and a standard Gov't main spring and the GSG housing is shallower internally in the spring channel than the govt housing and subsequently the GSG spring is shorter than a govt spring (But not by an equal amount with respect to the MSH depth difference). I called GSG to see what the main spring weight was and they claimed it was 23# but since it's not the same free length as a standard 1911 spring, it won't work. I put in an actual 23# 1911 govt spring and its too much spring for the GSG--the slide wont cock the hammer with that much weight under it. I don't know what weight 1911 govt spring would be equivalent here (maybe a shorter officer length spring?).
When did you get yours? I wonder if the quality has went down since they first introduced it. Mine is a very early one. Never had it apart. Just cleaned the bbl every so often and a little oil.
-
I have had a gsg for going on 3 years now. It runs everything. I even used up my grandpa's old supply of thunderbolts. The aftermarket base pads are recommended. I broke 2 dropping them. I sold my Kimberly .22 after getting the gsg. The Kimberly worked well IF you use mini mags. Mini mags were just too expensive for me to justify as a practice rig.
-
I think they make the recoil "feel" softer but it makes the gun bounce to me. The sights track a little different with each shot.
-
2 months ago mine went out at 5:30 pm on Friday evening. That's the usual time my equipment lets go on me.
-
The Super Sniper 10x42 is an awesome scope for the $299.00 price tag. It was the easiest scope I ever zeroed. Tracks very well to out too 600 yards. (thats all the farther i have shot it so far) The next price range up i believe is the Vortex Viper.

COLORADO!!!!!! Just a couple hours drive from any weather you want.

I may have to switch divisions to L-10. I bet I could win my division.
Thats what I thought by picking singlestack*, but Damn its loading up. Anybody else on the FGW squad shootin singlestack*?

Finally got my app in the mail.

Why did you make this in April???????
-
I got news for you. That giggly feeling you get from shooting a custom 1911, it NEVER goes away. If it does, sell your trojan and buy some golf clubs.
-
Yes muscle first. Easier to burn fat and just plain Cool.
-
IMHO you will be happy with either. The difference will be like going from a toyota to a lexus. Both are well made by the same company. The difference is just a few features and price.
-
My uneducatided Opinion. If it is going to stay pretty much unmodified then the Taurus would be a fine firearm. If it is going to get work done to it then the Spartan would be the way to go.
-
Make the trigger pull as close to the same as my competition 1911's and a flat mainspring housing. That is pretty much all I want to do to it.
Does it have a standard mainspring housing?
It has an arched mainspring housing.
My bad, I meant will a regular 1911 MH fit it?
Sorry, I have no idea. I have not taken it apart yet. I'm going to tear it apart when it quits functioning. I want to see how long it will run.
