  1. I have never gotten into the Zombie thing :surprise: , but this was pretty cool. I too like the torment of the living. The preview looks as if the "old partners" might have a tiff on the way :sight: . I just wonder how long can this series last. I also think this just proves....you can't have too much ammo :ph34r: .

  2. I have a Gilmore Shroud on my old Bianchi gun and have used the Red Leader Scope. With it's age I am scared to depend on it and I'm thinking of going to a Stick Shift and regular dot scope. Can anyone tell me how the stick shift attaches to the shroud? Are these two parts compatable? I am guessing that this has incrimental adjustments for windage, much the same way PPC revolvers used to have it for elevation?

  3. CONGRATS :cheers: I can certainly relate. I will retire from my police department on Jan. 6, 2001 after 36 years. It is the only thing I have ever done. I hope you will find much happeniness and fullfillment in your new career. Thanks so much for all you have done for this country.

  4. Welcome to the forum. If you get your Christmas 550, keep the SDB. You will find a lot of uses for it.

    Just what I was going to reccommend. You'll be surprised how soon you will have two machines going. Good Luck, and Welcome!!

  5. Quick reference guide I built for the event.

    Feedback is welcome. There is also one posted on the Barricade thread. Mover and Plate 4x6 reference cards will be available soon(ish).

    I was just wondering if the mover and plate reference cards ever came about? I have copied the 1st two for several other shooters and they have been enjoyed.

  6. I know this.....I believe this...now I just have to execute this plan consistantly. Why does it seem so hard??

    Because the nature of our sport makes us feel like we have to rush. Therefore we have the key words: visual patience.

    For the rest of your life, before you shoot every stage, make programming a state of visual patience a way of life.

    be

    Visual patience is something I know I can do, I have learned to use patience in other endevors, but I found myself forgetting during practice today. I think it is going to take some concentrated effort to be visually patient.

  7. I lost my slide racker (with set screw) during the Florida State Match this year. The screw had lossened earlier and I thought I had tightened it sufficently, but suddenly it was gone, never to be seen again (black metal in black dirt) :unsure: .

  8. We may have fought them for our Independence, again in 1812 they may have burned Washington DC, but I am proud to call the Brits our friends. Through the toughest of times, the darkest of hours, for both us and the British, we have had a stead fast alliance. Who would have thought 250 years ago, that after 9/11, the British would play OUR National Anthem at Buckingham Palace in to honor our fallen in the wake of that greatest tragedy. We stand by Britian as she stands by us.

    May God save the Queen

    May God save Our great Republic.

    I am days behind on catching this quote, but I thank you for taking the time to post it. There is certainly value today.

  9. Exactly HOW INTOXICATED was that woman?

    Intoxicated enough to want to eat pigs feet in the bed with a knife, that's pretty damn intoxicated. My guess is, the person who got cut wanted some of the pig foot.....Hey baby, just give me a bit off the hoof there...Nope, you can have some of the knuckle....I want the hoof... Get your own damn hoof!... Ow, you cut me!

    That is just soooo wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. Oh Yeah :surprise: . I did it. I had to pull my finger off the looong staple, blood spurting, and me thinking who can I blame for doing something so stupid :angry2: . But it was only a practice session and I was the only one there.

  11. What I got from those details were that the clock running backwards was just a reinforcement of Benjamins condition which of course was growth in reverse time? Perhaps the clock was going forward for Benjamin. Maybee the hummingbird was also symbolic of the stork, The hummingbird bieng the complete opposite (Backwards maybee?) of the stork. Funny thing is that little details can mean or represent something differant to each viewer. I would love to know what the writer of that movie had in mind with those details.

    That is what I thought about the clock, but the hummingbird I had no clue. <_<

  12. Welcome to Single-Stack Division!!!

    The following is applicable if you intend to shoot the gun a lot. If not, the Gold Cup is plenty nice to shoot, either casually in IPSC or for it's intended use in NRA Bullseye matces.

    To successfully run a Gold Cup in IPSC or IDPA, there's a few things that you'd need to be mindful of:

    1. The most-common problem with a Gold Cup, especially when doing high round count stuff like practical shooting, is breaking the rear sight pin on the Eliason rear sight. It is usually a roll pin and is quite small, so it takes quite a beating. I would prophylactically replace it with an appropriate diameter piece of drill rod. They NEVER break at a convenient time!

    2. A good lubricant would be necessary, since stainless steel rubbing against stainless steel will sometimes result in galling. I use Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil, but there are many good lubes out there, including Slide-Glide from our host.

    3. If you leave the trigger stock, you should be good. If you try to take it down to the poundage that all your buddies are running, then you'll need to replace that heavy steel trigger with a lightweight aluminum unit from Greider Precision. The G.C. has a wider and heavier trigger than a standard 1911, so a couple of extra parts were added in the trigger system to compensate for the gun's tendency for trigger bounce (the Sear Depressor and its spring). To get a really good trigger, the 'smith will remove those parts and replace the trigger with aluminum.

    4. I'd get someone to draw file on the corners of every part on that gun. Early-'90s Colts were sharp-cornered as all heck, so a de-horning job would be in order.

    5. While not absolutely necessary unless you shoot it a lot, if the gun has a collet-style bushing, it would be good to have it replaced with a traditional solid bushing. Those fingers can break off and it's a bear to clear that jam....

    Other than that, the other mods that people like to do are pretty straight-forward (magwell, front strap grip tape, extended/ambidextrous safety, extended mag release).

    Plus 1 on this info.

    #1.Probably the most important.

    #2.Just keeps it looking nice.

    #3.So true

    #4.Will make it easier on the hands

    #5.I never had a problem with this, but it sounds like the voice of experience.

    GOOD LUCK
