We do have a 2-gun match coming up in a couple of months in Birmingham, and then a rifle match should be later in the year. Both matches will be at Steel City/Brock's Gap in Hoover, AL. Check out the club's website @ scssa.org for more specifics. That's where dt1 will post the official announcements.

Does anyone try to arrange the primers in a specific pattern to start with? I've tried that so that I can get some consistency with my transitions and be as efficient as possible with my movement.

When I first started shooting pistols, I had an H&K USP in .40. That gun just runs. Always. Then I met a 1911; the trigger is the best out there. I immediately understood what people were talking about when they referred to the difference that a trigger could make. They are easy to find in .45 as has been mentioned many times in this thread, and they do run very well with that cartridge. I wanted one xx11 gun that I could easily run in USPSA(SS) and IDPA(CDP) and be competitive. I also run it in L-10 with Wilson mags, and this setup works for Heavy Metal in 3-Gun now that everyone is going to 10 rds in the pistols.
A couple guys joke about the "A-zone being bigger" with a .45, but that's true. It only takes a few points here and there to make difference. I used to shoot 3D archery, and I always used the fattest arrows that I could make fly straight with my setup. Larger diameter catches more lines. I tried fletching up a golf shaft one time, but it wasn't properly spined; go figure. And, those bigger, heavier bullets will drop steel with marginal hits. There is a lot to be said for the big ol' cartridge.
The .45 is FAR from obsolete!

I've heard nothing but great things about this company. Glad to know they are in the tent!

Does anyone know anything about the MS State 3-Gun that didn't happen last year? How about the Area 6 Multigun that never came about? I'm interested in shooting some matches, but it sure is nice to not have to travel all over the country every time I want to shoot a 3-gun/multigun match. Also, I have two babies and a wife who appreciates my help with them; I don't have to be gone as long for matches in the Southeast.

I've been shooting for a couple years under the "tutelage" of the guys around Steel City in Birmingham, AL. I began my shooting career with scatterguns and clay targets, but quickly developed a love for action shooting. Now, I'm in debt from trying to fund my latest interest, Limited/Tac optics 3-gun. I've already learned a bunch on here and hope to be able to contribute as well. Thanks for the forum!

This was my first major 3-gun match and I thought it was pretty awesome. I will definitely be spending some time working on my longer range pistol shooting. Thanks to all who made it happen.
Did anyone happen to pick up a tan, canvas LL Bean jacket near the prize table at La Quinta?

Is it appropriate to ask for a count on entries for each division? I may be willing to shoot n any of the three divisions in which im classified. SS, L-10 or Ltd. Im new to major matches.
M&P40 Pro

My belief is that there are going to be VERY few matches where anyone brings up that fact that you are shooting an "unapproved" gun. I ran my .40 Pro in Limited all last year. Nobody ever said a word. Unless you are concerned about winning Nat'ls or something like that, you probably have VERY little to worry about.
