Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I use the safariland because... well... I got a gift card to Amazon.com and Amazon doesn't sell CR or Double Alpha belts... but that being said, I like the way it fits, it's very stiff and to be honest with you I like the black leather basket-weave look.... I plan on ordering safariland basket-weave competition mag holders to compliment the belt.
  2. I use the CR Speed in Limited because the kind gentleman that sold me my Glock 35 included it in the sale, couldn't be happier. I voted null on the production due to the fact that I don't shoot production.
  3. Dangucci or anyone else that might know, I'm Looking at buying a Bianchi inner and outer belt (I received a gift card on Amazon and CR Speed and Double Alpha products aren't available there). I was wondering what width and thickness of belt the CR Speed Versa Mag Pouches will accept. Thank you.
  4. I LOVED Abbott and Costello... I was born in 82. I had a stack of cassette tapes and CD's... has anyone heard Andy Griffith's (sp?) take on football? My Papa has the vinyl still and we listen to it often.
  5. This is a great topic and I've been looking for this information for a while. I think I naturally started with the random/variable practice due to my musical background. I was a concert brass player in HS and College and I noticed that the guys that could play one song EXTREMELY well couldn't play any other song well at all. Guys that could run their scales faster than anyone else fumbled notes in songs. So, I started each practice by choosing a random piece of music (one that I had never seen or heard before) and playing through it at the beginning of my practice session (aka sight reading, at the direction of my instructor). I never went back and practiced any part of it, never stopped in the middle of the song, never rehearsed anything. In the beginning I butchered most parts pretty bad. By the end I could look at nearly any piece of music I put my hands on and just play. I was rewarded by my accomplishments at the local, state, and national levels, and have had the opportunity to play across the entire country. Therefore, I can confirm the results of random/variable and will be even more diligent about applying it to my shooting ability. This type of practice will wear on one's patience and frustrate them to no end. However, the results (which is what we're after in the first place) will undoubtedly be monumental compared to Blocked/Concentrated practice. Thank you very much for this post! Steve
  6. Do the after-market ported Lone Wolf barrels (the ones that extend past the slide and are ported both before and after the end of the slide) accomplish the same thing as other open compensators? What are the pro's and con's to these barrels. I have a limited Glock 35 that I just purchased from a fellow BE member and am thrilled with it: grip stippled and trimmed with beavertail, stormlake barrel, FO front sight (not sure on make), Glock adj. rear sight, magwell (not sure on make of that either). Also, how light is too light on the trigger? Are the aftermarket triggers such as the Vaneck as reliable as the OEMs? (I know this is a very subjective topic, I'm just curious about other peoples' opinions). Thank you in advance for your input. Steve PS I'm relatively new to the sport and have been shooting a S&W Sigma 9mm until lately and have not gotten the chance to shoot the Glock 35 Limited gun yet.
  7. The position illustrated is "at-rest" or "at-ease". Parade rest is a much more structured form of attention rather than simply relaxed with hands behind back.
  8. As a relatively new USPSA shooter, this is REALLY helpful. I shoot a Glock, so I always index on the slide take-down levers when moving or loading/making ready. However, sitting here away from the range and away from my blaster (I'm at work) I can't recall the position of my index finger during reload or clearing a jam. Maybe it's so instinctual from hunting and shooting clays for years it naturally happens. I will be watching myself very carefully my next match. Also, as a new shooter, I welcome the DQ if deserved. I agree with the posters that say that a DQ would teach the lesson faster than any warning. However, I also appreciate the warning and guidance by much more experienced shooters if I appear to approach the line on safety. I'd much rather go home early from a match than not go home at all.

    11-87

    Sounds like 11-87 is the way to go. I'm definitely not comfortable drilling into a barrel myself and I don't want the hassle of finding a gunsmith I trust, nor the price tag that comes with using a gunsmith. Thank you GISMap for the clarification!
  10. I can cycle my Remington 870 faster than an auto-loader (go ahead... call BULL$#!%). I didn't realize how fast I could jack the pump until I went to the skeet range and one of the guys let me use his auto loader... felt like I was waiting for it to cycle. I don't think I'd ever NOT have a Remington 870 (I have 2 right now). I may pick up an auto-loader for $#!%$ and giggles, but when I NEED a gun to run, nothing like an 870... just don't put those cheap-$#!% Federal rounds through it and keep it well maintained and oiled (just like any other gun).
  11. This is more or less off the cuff but I would consider the shot in a shotgun shell to be more along the lines of ducks or NASCAR stock cars. The more you have the less wind resistance each has to fight. They more or less draft off one another to make it to the target. People are talking about momentum coming into play and as I recall ALL objects fall to the earth at the same rate.... which means it's more of an aerodynamics question than it is about momentum. In a vacuum both #9 and 00 buck would pattern equally as well. These are COMPLETELY un-researched thoughts, though I do have an alright grasp on physics.
  12. http://www.filmdipping.com/index.php/patterns-available/ This guy seems like he knows what he's doing, I intend to send him my skeet gun and have it camouflaged (just to piss off the guys that spent WAY too much money on their high grade wood stocks.)

    Fundamentals

    Yes, this is an EIGHT year old post, but I found it to be exactly what I've been scouring the rest of the World Wide Web for. SO, I thought I'd bring it to the forefront in case anyone is having a similar dilemma.

    11-87

    I have a question, since some of you seem to be in the know, I was wondering if you could pass that knowledge to me. I saw a Remington 1100 (3" chamber)for sale on gun broker and asked this of the seller: I wrote: "Your description for this item says the shotgun only shoots 3" shells. It was my understanding that an 1100 chambered for 3" could shoot all shells 3" or less. I was wondering if you could clarify that for me. Thank you." He wrote: "No, the mag 1100 only shoots 3" shells. It might shoot the 2 3/4 heavy loads but not guaranteed. The 1187 shoots both." Then a different person from the same email address wrote: "It may or may not cycle the 2.75" shells. Regards, ****" Can someone please clear me up on the capabilities of both the 1100 and the 1187. I'm a huge Remington Fan, while I don't have the kind of money to put on a Remington Premier STS O/U competition shotgun for skeet, I was thinking that either the 1100 or the 1187 would be a good compromise for now. I currently shoot a Remington 870 Express (I have no trouble hitting the doubles, it's the crossing shots from stations 3,4, and 5 that give me the most trouble) so it's not the pump, it's me. Also, while we're on the topic, could someone link me to some references that show the 870 winning skeet competitions. I may just stick with it and show up all the O/U and Auto guys
  15. Final Update: Both transactions have now been completed (a few days ago) and I have BOTH firearms in my possession. The Glock 35 that I bought on the BE classifieds came a little later than expected through no fault of the seller. Unfortunately the seller's dealer set the gun on the shelf for a few days before mailing it. The seller sent me an ADDITIONAL hi-cap mag with rodendo (spelling?) +4 base pad and a couple hundred .40 brass as compensation for the delay. This was completely unexpected and unprompted, but GREATLY appreciated. As a new member to the Brian Enos Forum Community I am very pleased so far with the quality of people, in general, on this forum. I am ecstatic with both of my purchases and will get great use out of both of them. I couldn't be happier with how both transactions were handled. Now it's time to start looking for a kick-@$$ skeet gun without breaking the bank. Thank you all for your help and advice!
