Steep...but they give out free ice cream when taking pictures at DQ after a short match, so it all evens out...
Oh. Well, if there was free ice cream ...

Moon dust? What were the travel/lodging expenses like for that match?

The name Brian Enos seems vaguely familiar for some reason...
Yeah. I think I've heard of that guy. I just can't put my finger on where ...

Oh. MWP has two of those, actually, and they "clink" when he walks up to a stage.
Sooo ... boxers or briefs?

I believe it's called 'Chasing the unicorn'.

Single Stack can be very addictive ... trust me.

I've never had any complaints with the guys at TK.

I think we need to have a bouncer at the sign up table to kick out Mike and Charlie before the match even starts!
That's just blatant segregation! Not saying it wouldn't be welcome, but ...

I finally went to the match! My gun and ammo still weren't ready, so pskys2 let me borrow his. I had a great time! Everyone was very nice and welcoming. And to my pleasant surprise, I actually shot fairly well. In particular my accuracy was decent, way higher than I expected given my last attempt to shoot revolvers.
I think I'm hooked. I'll definitely be back!
Congratulations and, now that you admit that you're hooked ... You're DOOMED! DOOMED I tell you! But, have fun.

Yeah, I'm just out there having fun.
I'm retired, so I'm only free to shoot on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday
Such a shame your range time is limited to only days that end in 'y'. I really feel for you. Okay, maybe not so much. I'm retired too.
-
Okay, so maybe kinda ugly here and there, but at least you were out on the range.
-
And all done with nary an expletive. Nicely done.

The folks at TK do first class work.

Wow. This was one I'd hoped to make since my health issues have seemed to stabilize of late.

(Might have to switch to whisky.)
It has been known to dull the pain.

Safe to say it looks like you'll have a pretty decent support group when you can get back out to the range.

Looks like it. I'll report back once I've had the chance to play with them in case anyone else is interested.
Will be watching and waiting.

I have a 1911 with a stiff magazine release. Should I order a reduced power spring or is it ok to clip coils? If clipping coils is ok, how many is enough/too much?
Does the mag catch move freely in the frame without the spring installed or is this only an issue with the strength of the spring itself?

...the current guns are dirty?
Works for me.

(Almost) Buying a new gun is usually my default state when leaving a match, lol.
You mean we really need a reason for that?

Ok, so I "miked" a few 10 yard targets (two of them, and one plate on the Texas Star) at a match last weekend, so I figured it gots to be the gun.
I took it to the indoor shooting range (Shooters World in Tampa) and shot it at 25 yards freestyle, then 10 yards strong hand, and 10 yards weak hand.
The sights must have been off at the match, but got bounced back in place in my shooting bag?
What else could it have been?
It sounds like you have entered ... The Twilight Zone. Yeah, I know, it would sound a lot better imagining it in Rod Serling's voice.

That is not a bad idea. At least just to try and see what thickness works the best
I mean, if you have some grips in the type of texture you prefer, make an outline of them on cardboard to find the thickness you feel most comfortable with. If this works then maybe try reproducing that level of thickness onto sheet aluminum. The extra weight shouldn't be a concern.

Who makes 1911 grips that are as close as possible to PT Evo grips by size? I am trying to set up my SS gun as close as possible to my Limited gun
Have you thought about using a spacer between the grips and frame made out of the material of your choice?

Didn't Rob use 9mm in his 627-4?
