  1. I thought that Jerry Barnhart was the last one to win a Nationals with a 45. In 1987? It was a Nastoff. I was there shooting a near identical Nastoff 45. Proving that it is the indian not the arrow. :roflol:

    That's true.

    Robbie shot a super that year but the primers were flowing out. I don't know if he zeroed the standards or what, but he lost a ton of points and Jerry was there to gobble up the win.

    The other thing that needs to be checked is the last limited nationals to be won with a .45. I suspect that was Rob but Rob and Jerry traded back and forth there for a bit. In the beggining I think both were using SS .45's. At least I know Rob was and Jerry did too at the first one.

    Jack I seem to remember either the '94 or '95 Limited Nationals in Reno where Robby said the Team Springfield guys will only shoot singlestacks because it's what SA sold. He won, I think Arnt (sp?) was third and some really fast kid named Jack Barnes was 4th (I think).

  2. Box up the brass and send it to me. My Glock eats everything. :D

    Seriously though. Look at your die setup once more and make sure you have the sizing die as low as you can. If that doesn't fix it (hopefully you're using a Dillon gauge), then I'd buy an EGW die. The Lee's apparently work, and they're cheaper, but I'd get an EGW as George supports the sport.

  3. Shot this today and can't say I'm a big fan. First run, I ripped the draw at an .85 and was clean, but had a jam on the last shot for a 4.79.

    Second run had a "eh" 1.06 draw, dropped one and with a blistering 1.8 reload had a 5.79 and then an extra shot and extra hit.

    I was tempted to reshoot it, but integrity got the better of me.

  4. The finger grooves are there alright but just REALLY hard to see, It was the result of the stippling.

    PB I'm not going to be able to make the match tomorrow BTW. I will definantley be at miamisburg.

    Well....the finger grooves are not there enough to be legal in Production. I'm sure it will be fine in a local match but you'll still get crap from your buds. But that will never fly at a major match.

    I have to unfortunately agree.

  5. You could check here:

    Lost & Found.org

    Never know what you find. That sucks though. Knock on wood, I haven't lost my wallet. I did lose my car keys while in Afghanistan (car/storage unit for back home) but oddly enough they turned up with a buddy that was at another base. :D

    Good thoughts brotha.

  6. IMHO, you can't have too much pre-travel. It's a non-factor on the speed at which you can pull the trigger. I frankly hate pistols that are setup with no pre-travel and being right on the sear is dangerous (again IMHO).

    As for the safety...well...the pistol came that way. ;)
