The biggest test is if you hang around after you are DQ'd and help your squad pick up brass and patch targets or tail between the legs and go home sulking.
Not true. There is no test. I hate when people say this. After a DQ, do what makes sense to you and what you are comfortable with.

The gun feels vastly different in the recoil impulse if it goes to slide lock.if you can't feel it, work on your grip.

Glock's stock, 9mm barrels are very, very good, and have been for a long time.

Nice shooting! The stage you posted looked like it was designed to require technical positioning in order to see targets for engagement. This requires you to know where your feet need to be in order to engage each target. What I do is find an index Mark of some kind on the ground typically, but at tines on props or other things on the range that I can line ny feet up with when moving into position. That way when I arrive, if ny feet are where they should be the targets are right there when I look for them. This practice also ensures that your feet both enter the position correctly, and are positioned to exit the position correctly. If you get your foot placement worked out during your stage planning you can sprint directly to where you need to be and you won't be hunting for targets.

I agree it adds spice, and I am sure there is a way to do it.
We ran a match, 5 stages, stage 1 was 1 scored hit per target, stage 2 was 2, stage 3 required 3 and stage 4 required 4. We ran can you count for the classifier which is 5 per target. Some people really got confused on a few stages.
Ohhhh. Daddy like!

Can you remove any of it that isn't visible from the outside that would help the problem ???
Bingo. Buy replacement indicator, grind off the tab that contacts the case rim, install in gun, problem solved.
-
Production. Why people try to removing stage planning from the equation is beyond me. That IS THE MAIN THING DIFFERENTIATING USPSA FROM IDPA, FREESTYLE. If that won't get her hooked, she probably is not that interested in action shooting. You can run around shooting stuff willy nilly in the hills, no need to stand around for 6-7 hours to shoot for 2 minutes if you do not like stage planning.

Interesting journey you have had with your pistol. No way in hell you will ever get that money out of the gun, but so what? You learned a lot about 1911s along the way, or at least you did if you were paying attention. That alone is worth the cost of the journey. Sounds like the gun works as needed now, so that is a bonus. And, you won't ever do it that way again!
One thing is for sure, after what you have been through, you are definitely a 1911 purist and you WILL buy another 1911, likely much higher end.
You have nothing but upside here!
-
Carver, thanks, I will check them out. I would love to get a magwell for it.
-
I enjoy the gun; it is fun and very accurate. It shoots cast bullets very well! I have not shot a match with it yet but I have practiced a bit on the clock. Splits will be a tad slower on close shots but that may just be a glock v. 2011 thing. Nobody makes a magwell so that sucks but not a big deal. Gun uses #15 ISMI spring. I will post more when I know more.

Midwayusa sells the arredondo extensions. +4 and fit the gauge no problem.
-
Yes. I have one. Full ZEV build. Nickel boron slide and barrel. Blade-Tech comp. Holster on BOSS hanger. ARREDONDO base pads give 17 reloadable. Here I am doing a little dry fire with it and goofing around.
-
Let me add something here. I am not saying buy an expensive gun. I am saying buy what you want. If you want a $5500 SVI buy it. But you might want an Edge. Or a custom gun from someone else. Or modified div. Gun to shoot in open cuz modified is defunct I. Ipsc. Whatever. Just get what YOU WANT. Me, I like building unique guns from scratch with my friends. I like shooting bullets I cast from lead I smelted, lubed with lube I made. Takes a crap load of time. So what. I like it. It motivates me to practice and I take pride in winning with the stuff I made. Find what motivates you. Buy that. Do that.
-
Buy the gun you DESIRE to own and shoot. NOTHING else matters. Stop mentally masturbating about what gun is right, or enough right now, or fits your skills today. Silly, stupid, ridiculous! Buy what you want. Period. Then put in the time to learn to kick ass with it.

So you guys need help calling shots,..........
Calling a shot only relies on vision, you should change your focus from BANG, PING to........SHOT CALLING.
I'D ALSO SUGGEST white paper plates stapled to target sticks. They tend to get you out of that BANG, PING mentality.
It's the only answer.
^^^^^ This. You are right not to look. You are wrong to listen for the ping.
Call the shot off the front sight, if it is good, move on. If you occasionally end up calling it wrong, deal with it. But do not call off sound or waste time waiting to see if the steel fell. Those are losing strategies.

Anyone find a magwell for the G41?
-
I had my G41 set up by ZEV and WMD guns and Dawson Precision as a full blown limited gun. Not sure why, other than it looks cool, shoots great and is different. No magwell though on account of the fact that nobody makes one. Can't even get a Seattle Slug for any Gen 4 yet. I will run it in limited with Arredondo base pads as a fun diversion now and then, and play with my buddies in L10 from time to time. Neat blaster.
-
All of my S&A magwell are one piece cast units. I have never seen an S&A two-piece magwell.
-
Commiting to the game. This meant regular dry fire, regular live fire, regular video review and study. Went from production C to master in a season and a half. Basically, you have to spend the time, money and effort on it.
-
Nothing but in a Les Baer with Wilson barrel and a Springfield/Remington custom with Les Baer barrel, both .45ACP. 207gr. LSWC home cast.
I also run home cast 180gr LRN in my .40 2011 custom with a Kart barrel. Ideal #40043. I run them at an OAL of 1.180. No problems so far.
-
Just because you can't shoot or have poor trigger control does not mean the glock 35 is not accurate. Been there done that. If you want a 1911/2011 get one. But don't justify it by saying glocks are not accurate. Pick a gun and practice.
^^^^ winner winner. Triggers are way less important than all the hoopla would have you believe. Pick a gun and train. By the time you really know how to run it, the trigger weight
, travel, creep, over travel, color, can't, texture, flavor, length, girth etc., will be meaningless.

1911s in that price range are hit and miss. Buy one and take your chances. I MUCH prefer 1911/2011 pattern guns to any polymer-frame /striker-fired gun ever made. BUT, in that price range, I will take a polymer-frame/striker-fired gun over a 1911 because they are more reliable and are built to work when produced at the 450-600 price point. 1911s, having been designed for manufacture more than 100 years ago, were not designed to work when built at a standard that allows for a profit in the 700-900 price range. If you really want a 1911 you can run hard and put up wet, for many thousands of rounds without any problem. you need to spend about 1800-2100. It is what it is. For an occasional range shooter, the RO will work fine, I am sure. But I personally do not think it will be the equal to a $500 Glock 17 for serious work.

Dan, I did not know about that threat. Will go check it out.

Shroed, t bacus, very nice. Is that a pt or sv grip frame?
G41 IDPA legal magwell

I have the Carver on my G41. I am not cutting mine down b/c my gun is a limited gun (yeah, I know), but I can say the quality is excellent and the service is superb. It would not take much to mill it down for the IDPA box either.
