    Loving the new equipment rules!

    Thanks for the clarification. I assume the same situation applies to letting shooters know when registration has opened?

    We just switched to Practiscore this year from Uberscore. We don't have a decent internet connection so Practiscore has been much more efficient. Anyway, I'm having trouble emailing scores to shooters after the match. I have them uploaded to Practiscore.com, but when I click email shooters (on android tablet) it opens up in Gmail with a link in the body, but the "To:" field is blank. Any suggestions? Do I need to manually create a group that contains the emails for all shooters? I imagined that Practiscore would do this on it's own. Thanks.

    I used the 773's last year at multiple major matches. That being said, I'm very disappointed with the fit on 126mm STI mags. After loosening the tension screws as much as possible, I had to remove the bottom "roller", just so I didn't have to man handle the mag to get it out of the pouch. Now every once in a while, a round will get knocked out of a mag and will sit in the bottom of the holster. That really sucks on a stage when you're planning on having that round in the mag. Honestly I've been unhappy with Safariland in general. They sent me 3 different 5199 holsters, none of which fit a railed 2011. I had to do my own research on which models would fit, they would not recommend a holster for me. So after 6 months of trial and error, I've finally given up on them. I'm still searching for a new rig that will be IDPA legal, that I can also use for Limited. I'm open to suggestions.

    This was not the case with Safariland. I've still yet to find a Safariland holster that will work with a railed 2011. It is a CKA frame, not sure if that is the issue or not. They've sent me 3 holsters, none of them have fit. First was for a LDC 2011, Second a Railed 1911, Third was a SDC 2011.

    There are tons of CK vs STI vs whatever threads on this site. They are a great balance between a factory STI and a full custom gun. Both Matt Cheely and Bobby Keigans do fantastic work and have great reputations for quality and service.

    Thank you Mark! The 'New Shooters Guide' has a lot of great info.

    I did not even noticed that's aluminum. Are just shooting minor? Why did you not get the heavy steel? They look exactly the same as the steel ones so it's impossible to tell. It's mostly a minor gun yes, built for IDPA. Which is also why I went aluminum instead of steel. If I had Bobby build a Limited gun, it would be a 5.5" butler cut, full length rail, with lightening cuts, fluted barrel and steel grips.

    Hey that gun looks familiar I'm actually running the Aluminum CKA grip. I really like the texture, it's aggressive when holding it but feels great when shooting. The overall size seems smaller than a factory STI grip, but probably similar to a contoured one.

    I use the 773's on an ELS but they're very tight on STI mags and they don't seem to be loosening up at all. I feel like the bottom rollers are too big in diameter. Anybody else experience this?

    We have some PVC tube walls with orange construction netting that are quick to set up. We've found that if you put some rebar or some other weight inside the legs, it really helps them from being blown over. They work great for USPSA but are not stable enough to use as cover in IDPA. Similar to these but out of PVC

    GunBroker has some http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=515715756#PIC

    Damn I knew I shouldn't have read this thread... time to start saving for a MBF!

    I'm using the 2-8x32 M223 BDC 600 on my 16" AR and it has worked well out to 300yds. I haven't shot long enough distance with it to really test the accuracy of the BDC but it works well on 12" square plates. I got it during a promotion where you got the M223 mount with it for free, definitely a good deal.

    I like how it's sorted by headstamp! Easily my least favorite part of reloading and well worth the extra cost. Thanks for the link.

    All my 1911 / 2011's have them because I love the way they look. It has been tough finding a 5197/5198/5199 Safariland holster that fits though. I've already sent 2 back, 1 for a SDC 2011 and one for a LDC 2011. Hopefully this one will work, it's for a WC Tactical (light rail) 5" 1911. I should find out in a couple weeks, they take a while to do exchanges.

    I was at my local gun store recently and as usual, was shooting the breeze with the guys at the counter. We started talking about competition and how I MD a local IDPA match. He mentioned that I could put up a flyer in their store that they could point to when someone makes a related purchase. I'm sure someone here has already done this, figured we could bounce ideas and designs off of each other. Please post any flyers that you have done or seen, as inspiration. I've attached the only flyer I found using a Google search and it is ROUGH, to put it nicely. It could be IDPA / USPSA / 3 gun specific, or competitions in general held at your local club. Would it be a good idea to list some of the most popular guns / gear used? What pictures / phrases would capture people's attention? Include gun safety rules / range safety rules? If you've never shot in any sort of competition, what are the main things you should know before your first match?

    The gun did come in surprisingly well under weight for ESP at 39oz. It's well balanced though, so I don't feel like the extra weight up front would help. Shooting minor the sights hardly move anyway.

    I know I'm in the minority but it bugs me when the slide cuts and the lightening don't line up such as in the last picture you posted. If I were to do a Limited build it would have slide cuts all the way through with a fluted barrel. Similar to this:

    Can't wait!

    Yes it is against Bobby's recommendation. This is mostly an IDPA gun so I dont see it being an issue.

    You can also have someone trim down an aluminum STI mag well to fit the box. That gives you more real estate than the tactical. The CK Arms Aluminum grip kit will fit the box as well but they're only available to CKA frame owners right now. They have a dedicated CNC making grips so they should be available soon.

    I'll take some pictures tonight of the magwell to grip blending. They are so perfectly designed and machined together that you can't even feel where they meet inside the grip. The texture was pretty aggressive at first but I'm liking it more and more. Bobby has one of the prototype steel grips on his Limited gun right now, so they should be available soon. They look exactly like the aluminum ones on my build.
