Shot 2 matches this weekend one a normal local match with some great shooters, and a classifier.
Won the classifier over all and after crunching the numbers 6 of my last 7 from today yesterday and last weekend moves me to A class
-
So after not shooting or touching my guns for over a month I pulled out a win somehow today and shot a decent 4 bill drill at 74.5% next weekend I'm hitting 2 matches a local and then a classifier match the next day could be a good time to get a bump to A class

Guns are merely the tools some tools are better than others but its the shooter that's willing to put their work in.

Well drill school sucking up a but load if time but possibly going to be able to shoot a local tomorrow if I get released early enough. Did a few dry fire runs tonight but mostly studied. Shooting time will have to be maximized elsewhere and with a but load if dry fire. Might be time to start investing in some airsoft to run courses in the garage

Well looks like last weekend wasn't too bad ended up 2nd open/overall. Not sure how much time ill have for practice starting this drill school thing and then drill duty but I know I won't be shooting no 3-4 matches a month now. Ill try to run some kind of practice at least 3-4 times a week.

I was following this on your other thread. Looks totally awesome. Great job thinking outside the box.

Despite the weather all week of rain here in the great south, I managed to get another good match in.
Break down for the match today wasn't bad not a high round count right around 110. Due to the sloppy ground they tried to limit movements and make a decently technical match.
I've got to find the time to do more dry firing and work on my draws and reloads. I know exactly what I need to do just need to quit having excuses not to. This week I start drill sergeant school so time to do drumfire is going to be reduced and match time is going to be even more restrictive. All in all still not too bad for doing this sport for 10 months.

As someone told me once
The dot is your friend
Dryfire practice is such a great tool and once you shoot it in a match you'll see how much a pain in the butt that dot really can be
Have fun let's see some videos

Looks like ill be breaking out the snorkeling gear to shoot tomorrow

I was rushing everything so not as well as I should have. I've gotta get used to the 2011 platform. Coming from Glocks to something like a 2011 is a huge (and very much welcome) change. I like the 2011 so much I decided to sell my open and limited Glocks and buy another one. Some guns are built with competition in mind, like the 2011, some are built for "tactical use" like the Glock. I'm glad I finally figured out which to use where.
I did the same thing when I switched over to an edge for limited. Then again when I went to open a few months ago. I still have the occasional off day but since getting used to the dot being my friend, I have improved. Ya got the tools use em.
Lets get some videos I'd like to see the MM in action.

Skill will come with practice and experience glad ya diggin the blaster how'd you do?
-
So did the dot torture test a few times today at the range with the edge and the trubor. I shot it 3 times at 7 yds with each gun.
Incase ya want know what it is
http://pistol-training.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/dot-torture-target.pdf
So I ended up only scoring 35 as the highest with the trubor and I was like a little wtf I'm better than this. Come home low and behold safety on the trubor is broken. Not to big a deal but a little dumb founded by that.
So I decide to finally completely disable the gun replace the grip with another and clean everything nice and go over it make sure everything is good to go. The scope mount screws came loose as well. I wonder how long it's been that way.
Well new grip, mount screwed down and added some locktite, replaced the safety and now I need to rezero and check everything again for next Saturdays match.
-
Weeks just flying too bad I'm not shooting a match this weekend. Sticking to the normal dryfire drills this week. And Saturday morning I'm gonna hit the range up and burn thru a few hundred rounds in the trubor and the edge. Trying decide how I want to practice though. Any ideas?
-
I love this mount because its so close. Once I put this mount on I have had zero issues with the gun. My only downfall is unloaded starts since I have yet to lighten the slide and add a racker, but I've learned to rack it quickly
If you've got the same spacing you'll be good to go the cmore doesn't move and the slide is on rails so it only slides straight back not up, unless your rails are way out of whack anyhow lol
-
Here's my trubor to give ya an example
Hope it helps ya some

The problem I see with the ways your looking to restrict the reporting is it will alienate new shooters, like me who just started last sept and have only shot 1 major match. I know I probably won't be shooting another one for a few years cause of my job and time restrictions. Sorry I just think its a bad idea. We want to bring more shooters into the sport, not tell them hey jack you can't post up cause you just joined
-
I got the same mount on mine looks correct to me
-
Don't concern yourself with what top shooters are using for equipment. Their guns are normally some pretty expensive custom pieces. Concern yourself with what you are using. If you are having clearance issues you will need to do one of two things tune your ejector and get the good tension set on your current extractor(or an aftec) or you can get the 90 degree mount. Bottom line is the gun isn't going to tune itself. I happen to like the sideways mount others don't. There are advantages to both types, and disadvantages. If you can find someone local to try their sideways go for it see if that's a route you'll want to go. It all comes down to your preference not top shooters.
-
Ussually if your getting a failure to extract ya just need to add some tension to the extractor or use an aftec lol
I did the same things you did 424, not a single issue in many matches now. I was always smoking the mount with brass getting brass caught between slide and mount.
Good luck mike let us know how ya do

Match went very well today. I slowed down just a touch from last weekend. Shooting was much more consistent split times weren't bad and transitions have been a lot smoother since starting to look at the target first then bring the pistol to the target instead of keeping my eyes on the dot and moving eyes and gun to the target.
All in all had shot a great match. The first stage jitters did get me a touch though as soon as that buzzer went off mind went blank. I shot a no shoot but made it up. Then I drive my gun so far into the port for no reason. Got out of order on a few poppers and activators and time was about 6 seconds off what I felt it should have been.
After that first stage everything fell into place nicely and shot clean the rest of the match.and the kosh takes his first Open/overall win just saw the results!

Get out and see how you like shooting the gun before you start changing everything up. What you like might not be what everyone else likes.
I personally hate the recoil master but you may like it.
I shot glocks for the longest time and the only thing I had issues with when I switched over to a 2011 was the safety. I couldn't remember to disengage the safety to save my life.
Also for me it seems with the t2 comp my gun seems to really like hs6 with 115 around 173-175 PF it's a bit dirty but it sure does run well
-
Well another weekend, another match.
Goals for tomorow: watch my pace, stay on the dot and, shoot clean.
I ran 3 30 min dryfire sessions this week with a timer and a few 1/4 size ipsc targets I got, and a few power point dryfire drills on the PC. I ran in both limited and open. My draw from normal positions have gotten a lot better, and a lot faster on dot acquisition reducing times substantially.
Every week I tell myself I'm going to shoot limited but end up just shooting a classifier in limited. August I am sending my Trubor slide off to get lightened up and am contemplating having some popples done as well, doubt ill do popples till its time to replace the barrel and comp though.
Off to Drill Sgt school in July so shooting will be severely restricted ill just have to keep my focus and shoot whenever I get a chance.
Updates tomorow with videos on how it went.

Would have gotten on here last night to go over the match but after getting home I was entirely too tired. The name of the game for yesterday's match blow thru it as fast as I possibly could.
I know where my accuracy stands on a normal day so I really wanted to push the envelope.
I ended up scoring no where close to what I normally do so now that I know where I sit when going as fast as possible I can meter my future matches from there.
9mm major in 38S/SC barrels?

Silly thing to attempt
