Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. 9 major, I wouldn't shoot them. 40, maybe. Depends upon how big the crack is. 1/16th or so, yeah, WTH not. Never had an issue.
  2. I have a block with TTI parts for very cheap and I bought one that had a Zev trigger in it. I can tell very little difference in the two when dry firing, and zero during live fire. The machining does look cool, but if you are going to spend that kind of cash, sell the glock and put that cash with it and buy a cool looking used STI.
  3. So what do you call a SV single stack?

    Could you use those grips in production? They seem to form a pretty good magwell.

  6. yeah, WHY would we want to encourage anyone to WORK at getting better I could MAYBE see having one or two nice items with a random draw, with EVERYONE included. But this EVERYBODY'S a winner crap is just THAT. I ran a race track for about 10 years, we only gave awards to the TOP 3 (or 1/3), top 5 if there were 25+ in the class. So if there happened to be only 3 in a class, guess what only ONE got a prize. MOST people understood, the "everybody wins" group . I told many when they complained, "if you WANT a prize , go home and PRACTICE". AMEN!
  7. I have been told before that I messed a target that I shot at and moved on past. "second from left" or something like that was the instruction from the RO. That was at the ozarks match a few years ago. The RO's there had their own set of rules.... I have always liked that part about 3 gun...that it wasn't as crazy about rules as USPSA. If you asked the RO a question and then acted upon his response, chances are that the previous poster was right, you are already out of the running anyway. I have never been a real contender to the point that a few seconds and a little help from an RO ever made much of a difference anyway though.
  8. Ken -- just sent you an email but thought I might ask here. Have you thought of putting in a place for the WSB in practiscore. I am aware of USPSA rule 3.2.1 but I still think it would be useful and would allow us to go completely paperless. Just a thought. Thanks for your great app!!
  9. My son would like to have a few friends go see this movie for a birthday party. He is turning 7. Are there any parts of the movie that a 7 yr old shouldn't be subjected to?
  10. If those are the conditions, I assume that you are using the gun as a carry piece. In that case, Glock. or J frame. I say again though, if we are talking about a competition gun (since this is basically a competition forum) the vast improvements of the 1911/2011 platform over a glock or a j-frame make it an easy winner.
  11. I watched your video and I can't tell if the grooves were cut out in the last step to leave flat bottoms in the cutouts or if you flattened the bottoms. I really liked the grooves in there. That looked almost animalistic.
  12. I'm not sure what the indented purpose of the gun is and that is going to make a huge difference. I agree with what others have said about not messing with it, but the biggest issue that I see is ammo. Always running factory ammo is going to increase the probability of having your gun run more than any other factor. I can't shoot a factory glock nearly as accurately as a 1911/2011. If I am carrying for SD then a Glock is plenty accurate enough and I know that it will run. If it is for competition, the trigger is a big enough factor for me to go with the 1911/2011. I can keep them in a 8" group at 50 yards offhand with my 2011. With the glock at 50, I can't guarantee that they will all be on the paper. I know, I know, the grass is greener where you water it. I have a Bedell Custom 9mm open gun (which is notoriously hard to tune for reliability) that has never missed a lick in 10000 rounds if you take out two times where a round with a mashed sideways primer made it into the mags. An open gun isn't a very good carry option, but I wouldn't hesitate to carry a 1911 that Dan built.
  13. Ghost Stinger. I don't have one, but have seen them. They look really nice.
