It was several things. Low turn out and the corner of the mover on the neighbors property. The new president has always had something against that mover and found an excuse to get rid of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We had 2 guys that regularly shot a .45acp 1911 at our matches and at least one did exceptionally well with it. It's all in what you are good with and practice with.

Sound of Freedom still does the Thursday afternoon/evening bullseye matches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is also the COPS range near Rolla. They shoot USPSA on the first Sunday I believe and steel challenge on the 3rd Saturday. At Billings we shoot USPSA the 3rd Saturday. We are also starting IDPA I believe in April. Here is where all of the match dates will be posted. http://springfieldbenchrestrifleclub.org/matchdatesrulesandformats.html All 3 clubs mentioned have Facebook pages if you are on there. Updates are usually posted about matches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's a Colt 1911 with a Clark barrel and comp in .38 super. It also has a Protocol design shroud with stick shift, barricade wings, and prone pad. I'd like to get $1900 for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No responses? I'm following this as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That would work really well if you painted the walls with magnetic paint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What did you do to attach to the polymer slide? Is it tapped or through bolted? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Was this something that the local MD had to run these exact stages so you could send your scores in? Or was it done as a side match after the main match. I think it sounds like a fun thing to do, just wondering how it was done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the same question on places to list an open gun. I have been on here for years but I can't use the classifieds yet. I checked gun broker and couldn't find anything similar in all of my searches. Our local club has discontinued our NRA matches so I might as well sell my gun and invest in a quality scope.

I like getting a chance to shoot my daily carry gun (XDs .45). It doesn't always make me feel good about my ability with it but I get some trigger time on it. I usually shoot it at almost every match and especially at Berryville since you can shoot 1 gun in the morning and one in the afternoon.

I use the Chip McCormick Shooting Star mags in my 38 super with a prone pad.

I was just an ultrasound in my mom's belly during that match, and will probably shoot my last AP match tomorrow as it is going away next year at our range. I don't really have an interest in driving several hours to shoot AP when I can shoot other disciplines 30 min. from home. Maybe when the kids are grown.

Order a cheap one from Amazon and have it shipped to your hotel?

We shot out to 800 yards on Saturday and I didn't have any trouble making out the IPSC sized target with a 3" orange dot with my 6-18. I can't answer your other questions, I'm not familiar with the Vipers, mine is a Leupold.

I just purchased an ADL from Academy for $379. Then you can get the Magpul hunter 700 for $250 and the detachable magazine and kit for $40-$50.

Thanks for the idea about my routine. I started double checking my chamber to make sure I was loaded. I need to think of an easy to remember acronym for all the steps I need to take before I am ready. Maybe SAM? Slide Ammo Mover

I practiced with the Stick Shift yesterday. I think it will be a bit before I use the settings in a match. I kept forgetting to move the lever for the direction of travel.

I ran 100+ rounds through it yesterday without a single problem. Thanks everyone for your help.

I have the Tac FS model and I really like it. I've shot IDPA, NRA action pistol and USPSA with it. It has been a great gun. The only problem I have had was me short stroking the trigger.

I test fired a few rounds tonight with the shock buff removed and more oil on it. It didn't have a hiccup in slow fire. I will be at the range this weekend and will try it some more.

At our local range you get classified on your first match. I'll usually receive a card in a month or 2, you'll receive a new classification for every class you shoot in. I can't remember how many times you have to shoot a higher classification before they move you up.

This is my second 1911. It ran fine before I took it apart and after it worked for a while. There was a few bad rounds before (very sporadic) but we thought it was due to the load not being dialed in just right or a loose grip. It is a .38 super. And I probably had it under lubed. I didn't want it to have so much lube that it would attract too much dirt inside.

Bob, Should I replace the shock buff or are you saying get rid of it? It doesn't have much oil on it. There was a fair bit on it when I bought it but I cleaned it good but I didn't put as much back on it. Does it take a special guide rod with the comp setup? I know it has to have the hole to slide the pin in for takedown.

It does it from the first round now. When it started it would do it every few rounds. Now it is every round from the first of the day. The slide seems to move freely. I will ask the previous owner what the spring weight is. It is a series 70 gun.
