What is the approximate cost for a handgun?

Bamboo is asking you if the grip safety was defeated by being held in due to another pin.

Because Rob shot revolver, Chuck Norris stayed home.

Powder Valley has primers in stock.

Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks Brian

Any suggestions on where to stay? Appreciate the help. Mike

Experience is what one gets right after it was needed. Edited for fat fingers.

Never try to teach a pig to sing, It will only make you angry and it annoys the pig.

Anyone interested in sharing a ride. I live in Muskegon and will drive. Thanks, Mike

Your front sight falls of!f halfway throught a match and you finish the match. The good news is I did not shoot better without the sight

I am a Journeyman Inside Wireman from local 275.

Not a USPSA shoot, but give Jim's Pistol and Arrow in Sebring a call. The have several indoor competitions at their range. Shooting the suspended bowling pins is a real hoot! Mike

No there are not... but many of the ROs that worked that match may or may not have been USPSA certified - old school, or IDPA certified. Some were newer and just not used to doing it the "right way". On one of my stages, I waited till our squad was finished and pulled the RO off to the side to tell him nicely, that he was using the wrong commands. I called it "constructive criticism" just to make him feel better. He thanked me for helping remind him of the correct range commands, and even admitted he felt like a idiot when he looked down at the timer, still in his hand, and read the little white sticker on the side of it that had all the correct range commands, including ..... "Are You Ready?" LOL I also saw an instance of a shooter who thought he heard the RO say "Make Ready" so he took his gun out of the holster ...... when in fact the RO had, at that point, only said "Range Is Going Hot". The initial reaction was to DQ the shooter, but after some mild protest, he was reinstated because "Range Going Hot" is NOT A VALID RANGE COMMAND. This is another example why it's important to stick to the OFFICIAL Range Commands, and NOTHING BUT. No questions about "Do you understand the COF," or Taking an Unloaded Sight Picture, etc. should EVER BE USED. Shooter should not have been reinstated. If the gun cleared leather without the "make ready" command,.....sorry. The shooter should have been reinstated due to the following: 12.2 Language States the official language for USPSA is english. 8.3 Range Communication Lists the approved range commands and ther order of the commands. Non english speaking competitors expect the specific order of range commands and we are obligated to issue the commands as set forth in the rules. This is the reasoning explained at an RO class given by Gary Stevens. Mike

Anyone (Muskegon and south) shooting at Niles on Sunday and would like to car pool, please contact me. Regards, Mike bump Anyone?

Just curious - why do you recommend a very small gauge wire - and how does adding a resistor improve safety? Thanks! Tom Increases impedance and limits current. Mike

I think we were on the same squad (#6). A great 80deg F Saint Patricks day.

Taping and resetting the steel. It was great!

Looking for the gentleman from 134 that shoot at the Riley, In match on 7/17/11. Where to shoot next? Mike

Thank you, Mike

Has anyone used One Shot in Linton, Indiana for work on a 1911? Thanks, Mike

If anyone from the Muskegon, Mi area would like to ride with me to the match, please send an PM. Regards, Mike
