  1. Thinner sights allow more light to get in as well as more of the target to be seen. When shooting mini poppers at 25 yards a thin sight can come in handy

    Hey Joe, you shoot a shadow, what front and rear sight do you have? Brand and size?

    I have the H-Tac rear (HAJO with a tactical cut) and I asked Stuart to mill down the standard Accu Shadow front sight to 1.00 for me. I believe the Accu comes with a 1.125?

  2. mec-gar 17 round with blue follower (or the same magazine chromed available at CZ Custom).

    Many including me like to add an aluminum baseplate (shockbottle or Springer) but I did fine without the baseplates too.

    With tall Halo rear sight and aluminum basepad need to check and be sure fits in the box I guess.

    I also use the MecGar 10s (basically the 17's with a dimple) and they work great.

  3. I've had this exact same problem happen to a brand new AccuShadow and thought it was because I may have overpolished the sear/hammer. Turns out that the spring wasn't high enough for the trigger bar to ride on and engage the hammer. I bought a few spares from CZC and haven't looked back since. Don't know why it failed on me so fast as I had only had it for about 1 month before it happened.

    Don't be afraid to learn about your platform as you can quickly diagnose many of the problems and do your own work.

  4. I would agree but then read the rules which states:

    8.2.2 The competitor assumes the start position as specified in the written stage briefing.

    Unless otherwise specified, the competitor must stand erect, facing downrange, with arms and hands hanging naturally by the sides (see appendix E3 for an example of this)

    Then in the glossary it lists

    Facing Uprange ................Face and feet pointing straight towards the backstop with shoulders parallel to the backstop.

    Facing Down Range ........The exact opposite of facing uprange.

    based on the above it would seem that the RO is correct.

  5. Just sent this to Troy and waiting for his response. As far as advantages go for me it's about practicing draws with the full weight of the gun, ie: classifiers.

    Example - Fluffy's Revenge. Draw and shoot 3 paper and 2 steel. Drawing an empty gun is great but it doesn't reflect the true weight you'll have to work with. Many classifiers require a perfect draw to hit the higher levels of classification. I have a 91% coming in and only need another 95-100% to get bumped up.

  6. Had this debate with a buddy of mine during practice. I tend to load a mag during MR to practice the draw for a particular drill and as I'm getting a sight picture I dry fire my DA trigger. Is this illegal/DQ-able? The argument he made was that the gun may be 'considered loaded' once the mag is inserted. Heading to Nat's in August so I definitely don't want to make a huge mistake...

  7. If you are already shooting a shadow, or an accushadow, you should be dry firing instead of looking for MORE advantages. You already have a gun with a better trigger than a lot of 1911's that weighs more than most 2011's shooting really light loads. I mean come on, you want A zone seeking projectiles for it as well???
