oh very very interesting... There is a gentalman in the squad I shoot with who also has his slide lock disabled, came like that from the smith, and every so often he runs the pistol dry. He's an A class shooter, and while there isn't a flinch or what ever, but he'll pull the triger everytime. I shoot a single stack so, if I have to make a make up shot on steel or a long shot, I quit often go to slide lock. I've yet to try and pull the trigger. I don't have to rack the slide like the other guy my thumb hits the release after the mag is seated and I'm getting my grip and we are ready to party. If I have to take one or more steps I don't even lose time. What happens when the slide is down and you pull the trigger on an empty chamber (what are the steps, how much time etc)?

Um.. why, if you can't feel the gun run dry with the slide lock working would you want to disable the slide lock? As far as the flinch/blink goes I notice that if I am unable (lazy) to practice group shooting at least once a week it will creap up and bite me in the bum. After a couple of weeks of shooting groups once or twice it subsides, and of course I do better. I have quite often said that when I first started shooting USPSA my accuracy whent down the toilet. Through DEcember I wasn't able to get out and practice and now I'm paying for it.

IDPA vs USPSA I don't realy know I've only shot USPSA and since there are three ranges within 25 minutes of me that host uspsa matches I can shoot 6 sanctioned matches a month a couple of different steel matches an American Handgunner style steel match, NRAA bullseye matches and PPC courses,and that's just the pistol. I've yet to see any of these events publicised anywhere, but at the range, and even then you have to know where to look (no I couldn't shoot them all if I wanted to or could afford to). What's my point I'm not realy sure what the intro has to do with the body. I'll try to tie it in. Something I have wondered since I started (and I know there would be a thousand obsticals) is why this "sport" we all play isn't on TV. As a guy in his twenties I find it hard to believe that someone sits through a whole hour watching some dude fish, or f$@$#ing bowling. Man we have a wiz bang product here that could realy be appealing ot a wider audience. Now a USPSA course of fire might be tuff to televise, but a Steel challenge, or an American Handgunner type of match could be very cool. Here are people doing things with pistol that far out strip any thing in the movies. They do it safely and responsibly no one gets hurt. I know we have (the name excapes me) the shooting show that TGO was on this fall. I was imagining the X-games or something of the sort to start out and attract younger participents. Yes I know we are a small "underground" sport, but so is competitive sky diving and some of the other wierd sh...poop that is exhibited (now that I'm thinking of it when was the last x game, and will there be another). Anyway obsticals yes, but why not? And One gripe: When I started I just went to the range and started asking questions. I found a match and was told what I needed. I went and had a blast. So I've been back most weekends since. I got on with a great squad of safety concious moderatly competative guys (where the woman at?) which at my level suits me great. My gripe... no one was willing to help me into reloading. Yeah I got advice and pointers etc. I asked straight out can you show me and not once did anyone invite me over, and I would have brought a six pack or pizza, for a lesson. As a shooter to this day, and I've been reloading for a year and a half, reloading is still my biggest pain in the ass. The boards have helped. New shooted workshops sound like a great idea, but if some one askes please show them the reloading ropes.

I would shoot what I' ve been shooting with since I started the game (a year and one half) a single stack 1911, but I would make sure I had fresh mag springs. I would mention the brand, but I get enough crap over it on the range. It makes holes where I point it. (Edited by davecutts at 5:37 pm on Jan. 9, 2002)

See it asap. It reminded me of "The Usual Suspects". . . .anyone... I'm waiting for the video of Mulholland Dr.

Quote: from GunRunner on 1:18 am on Nov. 27, 2001 Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintence and Lila (the sequal to Zen...) - Robert M Persig It took a while to find some one else. I would like to know if I am the only one who didn't sleep for two nights while reading "zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance". I recognize it takes the right mood. I gave it to my father to read with instructions. He said something like it was tuff to get into.

I don't know about you all, but I had famdamly over for a week plus during the holidays, and I missed my workouts, and was feeling like sh...poop. A week after starting back up (okay I took most of the month off For finals, and over time at work in addition to the family) and I am getting my energy back. Sometimes when I don't have time to get a full work-out in I find even ten minutes of stretching before bed can make a big differance in how I feel. Which I attribute to being a mental good feeling that crosses over to a physical well being, and I wish I could follow my own advice everyday.

Ummmm I was shooting today, alone, and noticed some of my brass had, yes you guessed it, been crushed. I still hate it.

Hey like I said I love mine. I was currious as to what the old trigger was like so I dropped a steel sear spring in to my pistol and it was yucky (even a little icky). I'm sticking with the tri-glide. I was just currious.

I read the books in high school (ten years ago) and again as a junior in college (who can study when you have 1200+ pages of elves orcs hobbits wizards and a ring). Anyway I thought the movie was an excellent abridged version. Yes you lose some good stuff, but it got the jist of the saga across and will introduce Tolkin to a whole new audience (how come there is no spell check on this thing). Although in a class (yes back in school) today I over heard a young woman say it was so boring she walked out of it. Sad but true mtv has spoiled a generations attention span.

I have been using my tri-glid for almost a year and have been very happy with it. However every time I go over to my smith's (a very reputable smith you has built many guns for those of us who shoot at Norco, CA and southern california, although he hasn't build me a gun just fixing my piece of crap while I save pennies) he admonishes me for running the tri-glid, saying spring steal is spring steal and titanium is not spring steal. My first tri-glid sear spring did break at the bend where the spring slips into the frame. Other than that I have been very happy, my trigger went from 3+ to 1.75. I am by no means an expert, but I am currious as to why the divergence of opinions. (Edited by davecutts at 4:13 pm on Jan. 2, 2002)

I hate picking up brass, but i really hate when......those of you who enyoy food (in large quantities and at frequent intervals) walk on and crush my pretty 45 cases. Ugg.....big man steps on brass is soon to find brass up a$$
