Benny builds a good pistol.
However, when Liota gets her new limited gun she will own the two "Prettiest" guns that Benny has ever built.

According to their site, you can transfer music from your current CD's.
However, you can choose to use different audio formats for any track that you import from CD. iTunes lets you convert your music to MP3s at high bit-rate for no additional charge. Using AAC or MP3, you can store more than 100 songs in the same amount of space as a single CD. Discerning customers and audiophiles want true CD audio, and now iTunes can give you that quality with the new Apple Lossless encoder. You’ll get the full quality of uncompressed CD audio using about half the storage space. You can copy music in this format onto your iPod or iPod mini, to take perfect audio wherever you go.Also you can transfer music from Media Player, if it is saved on your computer as unprotected format.
My wife has been looking and comparing between sattelite radio and an Ipod for me as a christmas present.

I don't see any problem with a squad RO wanting to bag, so that they are free to work. Forgetting dust, if a person is so afraid that their gun will fall out they need a new holster.
I like Chuck's support of the sport, but does anyone need some extra 'gundoms'. He forgot about the other 15% of us and they don't work for me.

Sterling,
Another thing you can do is load the results for a stage into a graph. This will be a x-y scatter, Points on the y-axis, Time on the x-axis. Sort the data by hit factor.
The best result is max point and min time. Insert a linear trendline, which will show a negative trend.
The results will show that for this given stage and in comparison with the other competitors what you need to work on to improve.
1. If your point is on the trendline, then you had an equal balance of speed and accuracy. (Improve in both areas to move up.)
2. If your point is below the trendline, then you need to work on improving your points.
3. If your point is above the trendline, then you need to work on reducing your time.

I'd love to plug mine in and check to see how it turns out.
Oohh, bad idea.I just ran the numbers on my classifiers. I do have a positive trend
, but based on a linear trend I will make GM on 6/15/2052 
. As of today my trend average is 70.60%, I am currently 90.794% (Must manipulate the data to show better results. Yea, that's the ticket.)Kenny

This has been quite a few years back, but I shot the Area 1/Mile High combination match.
Looking at a lot of the brass lying on the ground, there were several folks running Largo. I asked someone and they said that the largo was cheaper and for a lost brass match it would hold up to one firing.

Or be able to tell which of your friends just walked into the range and started shooting (you didn't see or hear them come in) and be able to tell who it was just by the sound of their particular gun.
I have had that pulled on my at several matches around the country.
.. to shooting when...

I have been told my Wiley sales reps to wait until they correct their Rx designs.
I have used Bolle' for 10 years with their SOS insert system for Rx.

I have run both and haven't noticed any real difference. (of course these were on Tanfoglio's) My current is STI is a hybri-comp.
On the cone comp, are you thinking of a one piece or two piece design?
This is how I have fitted things in the past.
Two piece cone and Bull barrel. - Cut the comp to fit the slide.
One piece cone. - Cut the slide to fit the comp.

It is harder to cut the frame for a C/P lug and fitting the barrel then it is for the W/N lug and some gunsmiths don't like cutting the frame for the C/P lug, they say it can weaken the frame. This is what I hear not what I know.
I think you have the two reversed.
The C/P cut can be made with a simple setup on the mill. The frame lies horizontal in the vise.
The W/N requires a call to EGW for their special cutter. The frame lies vertical in the vice.

We lose our Dish Network signal if a strong Thunderstorm builds South of the house.
If you lose the signal after a snow storm, just go out and brush the snow off of the dish. (Not a problem in Central/West Texas)

I've been told if you reload you have either shot a chronograph or you will. I am still in the group who will.
Score:
Kenny 3 Chrono 0
I have killed 2 Competition Electronics and an Oeler 33.
Kenny
On the fun side, a guy I use to shoot with shot 2 of Tommy Weston's chronos at Area 4 one year with a 45. After the second one, Tommy scored him minor.

Dave,
If you are working from the NM drawing, then the theorical distance from the centerline of the barrel axis to the point where .490 R should meet the front on the slide is .490", this is before the front sight cut is made. (It is .485" on the M1911A1 slide).
The .490 R is symetrically to the barrel axis within .010" and the basic angle is 0°52'.

10# conventional - Wolffe. Delrin Guide Rod, one buff.
The slide was lightened until totally reliable. Slide weight (without extractor and firing pin parts) is 10.1 oz. 4 port hybri-comp barrel, Briley Ti 4 chamber 8 port comp, 115gr JHP behind N350 and Fed sm rifle primers.

The followers that worked best for me were the orange ones that came in the competition mags. I didn't have to do anything to those. I did cut coils on the springs and that bought me maybe one round in the mag though it did make it easier to reload to than the full 14 coil springs.
-ld
Orange followers are the best. (I still have 12, new in the wrapper, hiding in a bin with some extra CP Bullet base pads.)
You chop off the legs and mill a small pocket in the bottom to keep the spring from sliding off.
You could get 18 in a flush magazine with this combination. (This is from our pre-140/170 days, when the magazine and all springs must be inside the bottom of the frame.)

L2S,
Nice job. !!
Work up some minor loads for your girl friend. At least till she gets comfortable with the pistol and shooting a couple of matches.

Plus in M class you can't have too high of a score but anything lower than 75% is disregarded. This allows people in A and M class to "go for it" on local classifiers because if they over-extend and tank the score is much more likely to be disregarded.
Actually it is 80% for Master. I spend a lot of time at the local matches playing and trying some different things. (In fact it had a few of my local shooting buddies worried that I wasn't in my usual form this year.) I don't know that I just 'go for it' on classifiers though.
As a Master, I fall under the old protected status. I cannot lose my classification, as such I sometimes play with a classifier or the whole match. However, I could care less that Sedro has to keep 33 months worth of classifiers to maintain my M average. It wouldn't bother me if they showed that my current average was 78.780, high average is 90.743 and my classification is Master. If I show up and shoot to my ability, I am a Master class competitor.
I know that there were abusers to the system and that is why it was probably changed from working your average on the best 6 of the last 8 classifiers regardless of the result. Would I like to see my 100% and 99.2% roll off the books? You bet, at least until I am able to consistantly run at that level. However at my current rate it will take 4 years and by that time they may have determined that my average is above 95%.
Back to the topic. Our current system is biased to getting everyone moved up, unless you are just super consistant within you classification.

Siggy
you mean Oregon isn't just the other side of Waco...my geography is lame...
Still love ya.....
Shoot, from where I am at in Texas everything is a hop, skip and jump.
(Hop to the airport, skip across to Dallas in a puddle jumper, and the jump on a big jet.)
Waco is a 3 hour drive, which is a short hop in West Texas terms.

I've got $10 that says it's GREEN.
I have confirmation from an undisclosed source, that the new USPSA rulebook is Green.

You might give Bob Londrigan a call.
I think he might have the retainers.
The oversized mag release is a two piece item. The rectangular paddle is an aftermarket part.
I know that he had C-More modules in stock.
(Size is a personal preference, Bob uses a 4 or 6, I use a 16) I like a big dot.

Our local club matches are $15.00.
$3.00 goes to USPSA for Mission Count
$1.00 goes to SC Mission Count
The remaining $11 goes to the club to purchase targets, tape, steel, supplies to build props, tools, etc.

FWIW, most of my guys in Hong Kong who need prescription lenses wear Bolle glasses.
Jon,
I will second Vince's observations. I have been using Bolle's with their SOS insert for over 8 years. They work for me, but another guy I shoot with has tried them twice and couldn't adjust to the insert. You need to see what works the best for your particular situation.
Everyone under 20 would be busy trying to find out where they could buy plaid pants and flippers. Same goes for a lot of the over 20's as well.Ah, yes the "Robbie factor." If TGO showed up with blue mud in his navel, a lot of people would be trying to buy some.

DJ,
I am glad that you enjoyed the match.
That is the important part.I was just bemused that you got hit with 7 walk ons when I was told to allow no more that 2 per squad and stage.
Kenny

But... at Area 4 this year, we were running 14 shooters on our squad. It seemed like every stage a couple of folks would come up and shoot through. Then on one stage, SEVEN people came up as a group and the RO let them shoot with our squad.
DJ,
I don't know what happened there, but Wayne and Kenneth controlled the shoot-thru passes and told everyone including the ROs no more than 2 shoot thrus per squad. This was because of the number of shooters in each squad and the schedule.
Fred and I held passes and while I was told that we could bump anywhere in the top three slots on a squad, I always told the RO to drop us into the mix and we would grab tape and go to work. If we saw another shoot thru at a stage we would pass that squad and wait. We also started at 12 and worked back to stage 1 so as not to inconvience the same squad more than once.
