  1. What's up fellow Beretta Shooter..? Maybe this will help.... http://www.uspsa.org/uspsa-NROI-production-gunlist.php http://www.uspsa.org/rules/2010_combined_rules_april_26.pdf See page 50 of PDF.
  2. Rob, I feel where you coming from brotha..... I work for cell ph company as well, happens all the time over the phone, but in person is a different story. The stores do have it rough because of face to face contact. Unfortunately, some feel they will get their way by "bogarting" their will to get what they want.
  3. Hi all. Hopefully the BE brothers can help. I have WSMII CR speed was used for glock. I'm trying to use it for my Tanfoglio w/ custom squared trigger guard. I can not find spacers to take up the difference in trigger guard width. Anybody have spare or where to locate? Thanks Ed DVC
  4. Yes sir they can! I run an old custom Springfield P9 (rebadged Tanfoglio) and Custom EAA Witness both in small frame also. Was 9x21 when major was 175PF, rebarreled with old Bar-sto to 9x19 and works great with 165PF. Henning sells 9x19 Briley Barrels if you need them.
  5. Did you guys miss the Red Rock Casino, now why not treat yourself to a Super Buffet! And I'll add feast on the secenery. Cocobolo, I'll meet you there at Red Rock for Buffet!! Great food!! I'm shooting OPEN.. See you guys there!
  6. BINGO! Efficency is key although optimum fitness always a good idea. My local club GM Jojo V. is another good example of efficient shooting. vids: http://nrg.jvdynamics.com/nrg/ Sprints work provided one controls your entry speed. Cha-lee you may remember at GBC in July Stage 7.. Depending how stage was attacked, after the first shooting position, shooter can sprint 20 yards or so to 2nd position and make up time there. I tried it but was out of breath and affected my shooting.. LOL.. hence again general fitness good idea!
  7. I shoot it once in a while with my 92FS. As simple as loading mags to capacity vs. 10 rds. Love it! Really allows the shooter to really take advantage of the doublestack pistols. I believe IPSC Production rules are 15 rounds....
  8. I'm with you there.... SS is THE gun to use when I started practical shooting as a teen in the early 90's. There literally was no other pistol to shoot at the time. In fact my Open gun before was a SS in 45ACP and Clark Pinmaster Comp and Bomar. Then cutting edge came in as the higher capacity ie: 10 Round 38 Super and 2 Port Compensator... OOOOOOOh.. Limited was the same pistol minus compensator and in 45.. Man o man, I was on point then on the reloads. Today, my 28 round 170mm big stick makes me lazy to reload.. I believe it's Just evolution and pistol style and models are just preferences and eventually your skill will be apparent regardless of what gear you are using. In fact at my club, we have the luxury of shooting with the USPSA president and he still kicks everyones ass with a SS. Goes back to "indian not the arrow"
  9. Congratulations!! I love hearing about people getting hooked to the shooting sports. I'm personally a long time USPSA shooter and started IDPA last year. I believe Trigger time is trigger time, each game has rules to follow and we as shooters strive to perform to the best of our abilities. Admittedly, I do sense competitiveness between the two camps, it's like "My MMA is better than your Brazilian Jujitsu!" I learned this quote from the late Mr. Ed Parker - "There are no pure styles of Karate. Purity comes only when pure knuckles meet pure flesh, no matter who delivers or who receives" I'm after the end result, Shooting Skill.
  10. Fred: That's moving! 40 s&w loading on 1050 = 6 min 9mm loading on 1050 w/ Mr. Bulletfeeder = 3Min
  11. I learned about this lube from the early 90's from my dad. The bottle I have is 18 years old! http://www.prolixlubricant.com/order.html Great to see they are still in business. +1 on Royal Purple 5w/30
  12. Morning ! Update: My performance has improved tremendously. Learning to "unlock" my eyes from the sight to target is so much the key to my shooting. The advantage of Red dot is only needing to focus on where you want to hit and let the peripheral vision do the rest. I went back to my Production pistol thinking I would now just hose without using sights. I now notice that iron sights just require another step of shifting my focus back to front sight for and acceptable sight picture, then break the shot, follow through, call the shot. My early days of FRONT SIGHT! FRONT SIGHT! caused the "riding" the sights, which is way to slow. Thank you very much Brian and fellow BE members!
  13. Good job on your Limited performance Cha-Lee!!! Next time, all BE members should meet up. Going to Nationals? I'll be there... I agree was a good Match , I competed in Open, squadded with some Locals and a few of the best Women shooters I have seen. Valerie, Athena, Jenny and Lily!
  14. My biggest USPSA tip is to focus on strategy(target engagement, movement and reloading "spots") and let the fundamentals (marksmanship, trigger control, reloading, transitions) flow through practice. Being a long time IPSC/USPSA shooter since the early 90's.. I started IDPA this year. I love it too! I look at this way, both are same game just different rules. Trigger time is trigger time...... Enjoy!
  15. This is very much a "mental" game. I describe it to my friends who think I'm some sort of yahoo with guns. I tell them it's akin to golf.
  16. Awesome! Welcome to your new addiction! Yup, falling steel on toes is like a rite of passage. It will/should only happen once, that's it....
  17. See you guys there!! My first Open Nationals....

  19. Great show! I have never shot a crossbow or longbow.. I think I'll go to Bass Pro in Rancho and go check it out...
  20. Thanks BL !! Did you all see Ben on TOP Shot representing Beretta Professional? woohoo!!
  21. I totally agree.. I really want to go that route and but not spend just for a new slide for a Production/SSP Pistol. I was cleaning the pistol one day and realized the Trijicon "vial" was a bit dim and noticed it was just pressed it by the factory. Punched it out, put in some rod, melted it. Instant FO ! It's not 100% since there is no cut on the top of the sight for more light collection, only collects light from the muzzle end where I melted the rod, but it lights up well enough for outdoors. I combined it with a LPA adj rear sight, i'm done with the sight system on this pistol.
  22. I switched to a glock now though. I will have one at area 5. Was it the "Grip angle?" Loved the TOP Shot episode Ben!! Great job! You are the best Ambassador for the Beretta 92FS....
