Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. ask around, dude. It's real. you just work on the shooting too much and the draw not enough, that's all. Matt McLearn claims .60 second draw and hit average, with a Limited rig, and .80 second CONCEALED.
  2. actually, you can call me John Davis, and ask Hackathorn, Wilson, Dalton, or Fowler about my draw speed. :-)
  3. with a speed rig and hands at sides, warmed up, I used to average under .65 second, for All rds in the C or better at 10 yds, and over half in the A. I never could slow down enough to keep them in the A, enough to make up for the loss in time, anyway. Nobody shoots Leatherslaps anymore, or you'd know that I'm right. :-) Hell, Robbie claimed .80 second averages, in the A at 10 yds, from surrender start and with a limited rig, about 10 years ago. Where you guys been?
  4. what a hokey load of bull. You can't grab the spare mag any faster than you can dump the empty mag, so why bother with such baloney?
  5. I am not sure how you are replicating the recoil of a full power .45 with an alloy framed 9mm. I shot an alloy framed single stack .45 at the nationals last year and I felt that the pistol was just as controllable as any steel gun. It swung alot better too. I am curious as to how you came to this conclusion, because I am thinking about building more alloy framed guns. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Simple physics. If a gun is shorter and weighs 2/3rds as much, it has to recoil 50% more. Nobody but you "thinks" alloy frames are as controlable as steel ones, dude, with the same ammo, beyond about 7 yds, in .45. :-)
  6. I''m serious about gunhandling, so I am not about to draw the gun in a different way, just for a silly match. Also, when you swap hands, it is very easy to "bump on" the safety. I don't carry with an ambi safety, so I don't shoot matches with one.
  7. I ran sub 19 sec Cooper's all the time, with a reload and the 6 ft wall, back in the 70's, and the underneath was 18", not 3 ft, ferchrissakes. You go thru almost on your belly, or you'd knock off 1 or more 2x4's, 5 second penalty each.
  8. el prez is NOT 3 ft between targets, it's 3 YARDS between targets, and yes, that DOES slow you down.
  9. there is no reason in the world why your splits should be as fast as just a repeat hit on the same target. Nothing about the transition makes your finger faster on the trigger. If this is the case, your repeat hits are VERY slow indeed.
  10. How about doing it with a real ccw gun, and with a shirt or a FASTENED coat, you know, like it was for real street concealment? How about with 90 and 180 degree pivots, both to left and right, so that you can't cheat and get your body "locked onto" the target?
  11. there's no "array" in a draw and hit. there's one target, and one shot. .80 second is getting with it, but with a speed rig, facing the target, and hands at sides start, a man who works at it can average under .70 second, for A's at 10 yds. I could average under .65 when I was warmed up ,but I'd get half of the hits in the C zone, some in the D. I could keep them in the A at 5 yds, tho, and that's all I really cared about. What mattered a lot more to me was getting A's at 10 ft, in .90 second, from underneath a shirt. :-)
  12. there's the issue of saving at least 1/3rd of the cost of practice ammo. There's not having to retreive and clean brass and reload. Well worth it to me. I practice with an alloy framed 9mm and it is every bit as "hard" to handle as 170 factor .45 loads in a steel Gov't model. I did all the bullet casting and reloading I could stand. Nowadays, reloading is strictly to get hunting or defensive ammo that I can't get in any other way.
  13. A great many people "think" 200 grs at 850 fps is "hot". I aint one of them. Try 230 grs at 900 fps in a lw Commander, and see if you can still see the sight "lift". :-)
  14. with a browning high power, 1.8 reloads are freaking fast, with no mag well funnedl. The top end of the mag is very "square" and so is the mag well.. The slightest rotation of the mag or the gun will result in one or more of the corners" catching" If you want 1.2 second reloads, it will require a 1911 and a mag well funnel. If you want them even faster, I hear that the double stack 1911's are faster than single stacks, but I have no idea why that would be so, and I sure aint buying one to find out.
  15. Mostly it's a result of using wussy loads and/or having a compensator with the front sight on the comp. :-)
