    .45 ACP Spring Scenario

    in Gun Springs

    Posted

    My set-up for 170 power factor loads with my 5" 45:

    12.5 lb recoil spring w/ Cominolli guide rod using Cominolli's buffs (which I replace every 2k rounds even though they still look great).  

    17 lb mainspring

    Hope this helps.

    I don't know all of them, but I'll throw what I know out to help somone else:

    Rob - postal worker (good thing he never went postal!)

    Brian - I've heard a few times that he was a car mechanic, but he's wrote here that he was a corrections officer

    Jerry - I think he was a plumber

    Todd - heating & AC repairman??

    No clue on Doug.

    Front sight article

    Jon,

    There's two methods:

    Method #1: everyone has their own recipe, but here's mine...shoot one shot, clean the barrel until it's immaculate, repeat for 10 shots, then shoot 5 shots, clean until immaculate, repeat once, then shoot 10 shots, clean until immaculate, done.

    Methos #2: buy the NECO fire-lap kit (go here for more info about it: http://www.neconos.com/details2.htm) It's the firing of bullets that have a polish ground into them.  I understand that Tubb has a kit of his own now, but I haven't used it.

    Hope this helps.

    Is IDPA training?

    in IDPA Shooting

    Billf,

    You'll find the SO's view of IDPA different from place to place.  At one range they'll view it as a game, and not be so harsh with enforcing the rules verbatim, then you'll shoot IPDA somewhere else and the SO will be hard on you because he feels you're training for a real world shootout.  It all depends on where you shoot.

    Visualization...

    in Mental Conditioning

    Posted

    Should I use it when trying to work in a new technique or is it solely to reinforce existing techniques?  

    Also, to be effective, should my visualization be from a “driver’s seat” view, or can it be from a 3rd person perspective?

    How much time do the GM’s spend visualizing?    

    Any other visualization principles would be greatly appreciated…I just finished a sports book, The New Toughness Training for Sports, which expressed the importance of visualization in sports, so I figured I’d take it more seriously.  I can clearly visualize correct sight alignment on a target thanks to the Bruce Gray drills, but I find it difficult to visualize something else, like a reload.  And I will often finish a stage and only recall seeing the brown target and front sight, so I feel I have little to work with there, but I can easily visualize myself from a 3rd person perspective.  Help me out.  I guess I need the basics of how to visualize, I understand you get better at it the more you do it.  

    Thanks.

    Bill
