  1. It's "special" shooters, who think for some reason pasting and resetting is something for others to do. What's worse, is the contagious effect they have on the rest of the squad. "Heck if he's only going to paste once in a while, so will I!" No denying it, I've seen it too many times that "this match's slow squad" routinely has that same special person in it.
  2. Revisionist history. ;) Watch Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Then for god's sake, stop.
  3. Never. Of course I've been averaging 2-3 matches a year as of late. May not shoot any this year. But back when I was shooting 3-4 matches a month all year long, the answer was... never.
  4. That's the problem and the complaint, we always are. In 13 years I can think of two stages where being tall was a help. Where as it was a hindrance hundreds and hundreds of times. You can chalk that up to bad stage design/building. But that doesn't really help, cursing bad stage design under my breath while bending over to shoot through a port that 95+% of the people shooting the match aren't.
  5. I don't need to. Or didn't anyway. There was a time I did most of my shooting one handed and own one gun that I only ever shot weak handed. I say "didn't" because of a cervical injury a couple years ago and a loss of function and feeling in my left arm/hand. . Now I'd be lucky to be able to shoot myself weak handed.
  6. Is this good news or bad news?
  7. Since these are games, I've always wondered why people don't shoot one handed, just like they do two handed, just with their hands not touching. That would seem to be the "most natural" since most people do most of their shooting two handed.
  8. I'd let that live in the trunk of my car for sure. Take it out once or twice a year to blast. One of those guns it's as much fun to let others shoot as shooting it yourself. But a magazine fed auto is far too evil for my state.
  9. I had to stop and think about how I close the cylinder on the clock. I sure don't close it and index it. Closing it is just a product of regaining my weak hand grip and raising the gun, it just kind of happens.
  10. Every fifteen rounds. It's just killing my stage times.
  11. Saw that today, but that could mean nothing too. lol They're out of what I was toying with buying. I've ordered from "ghost" websites on more than one occasion, so I've gotten leery.
  12. I haven't bought anything from them in years. I looked at their website today, and it's up.. but it's the same old outdated looking site that it was ten years ago. Their last Facebook update is from 2013? Just wondering if anyone knows their status?
  13. I thought it was a bad name for a model. Just awful for the company name.
  14. Are they close enough in shape that a 1911 race holster ("bikini holster) would work? (i own a .22/45 but no 1911 race holsters)
  15. Anyone reverse dampen a PCC? You could cushion and short stroke all in one.
  16. There is the old saying.... "Look good, feel good. Feel good, play good."
  17. I emailed many months ago asking if they modified aluminum trigger groups as well as the factory one, but never heard back. I guess i could have them do the factory polymer and take it upon myself to handle the aluminum one. (meaning possibly ruin it myself or pay someone else to do it)
  18. Then I have never been ready to shoot a single stage, in any match, ever.
  19. Their Facebook seems to be working again and was actually updated twice this month. On their website the Pre-order option for a Benelli lifter seems to be available again as well. Though I am leery. My track record for pre-order stuff is universally bad. The J.Kenny lifter was probably my best experience with a pre order, meaning it actually came in less than two years. (The fact that it didn't work for me and I sold it for a fraction of what I paid has been the norm sadly.)
  20. Any idea what are the throats running on these? ( I ask that knowing full well from experiance they may start out right in the first runs and then go wonky after time) Wondering if it's a chamber issue or just a throating issue. As many of you probably know, Ruger has a loooong history of undersized throats. But especially on rimless cartridges I guess because it aids headspacing. (their 30 Carbine throats can be absolutely tiny! Seen them as small as .305") Though most of the .357" guns I worked on weren't bad really. I know I was sent a couple 9mm SP-101's years ago, but it was so long ago I can't recall if I did anything to them or not.
  21. Buy a revolver. Shoot it a lot. You won't notice your CZ. Like swinging two bats in the on deck circle.
  22. What is the great benefit to your life in making other people stop shooting revolver? It can't be "nobody shoots it" AND "it's hurting the sport". How much can it be hurting the sport if nobody shoots it?
  23. I found one in my recliner once. I looked at it and stared and stared... "I know what this is!" but i'd be danged if I could place what it was. Drove me crazy for days. It stayed on my desk for a couple years. One day I pulled a new Smith apart to do some action work and bingo, the lightbulb went off! "Oh crap!" Then I had to go figure out what gun it came out of.
