Hi Bkreutz i live nearby Aachen thats close to the borders to the Netherlands and Belgium. My carbine is the selfloading 30 M1 Carbine in caliber .30 carbine. I lived in Bayern from 1975-1980 (Augsburg & Bad Tolz areas) and I've been through the Aachen area many times. Is your carbine one of the ones that the US gave the Border Patrol after the war? It would be intersting to get some history avout my carbine. I think i could get some information about it with help of the serial number but don´t know where to begin research.

Hi Yeti, there are a vary of different matches depending upon the rules of the shooting organisation you are in. We do have also matches like IPSC and other dynamic shooting events. I like to shoot dynamic disziplines with my short guns und static long range shooting with my rifles. Just to explaine one of them what i use my revolver for is shooting in a match what is called Police Pistol One from our shooting organisation which is called BdMP e.V. This is a match which is shot from three different distances in three different stages. First stage is 25 Meters on a static target, you have 2 minutes to fire 12 rounds in precision manner including nessecary reloads. Next stage is 15 Meters on the same target, which ist turned away and then made visible for 3 seconds in that time you fire one shot and this 12 times. Last stage is 10 meters with the same setup as at 15 meters but you will fire two shots instead of one.

Thx Hi-Power Jack..yes i am reloading for all my guns scince 1990. I am just starting to work up a 9mmx19 round for my new 2011. This baby does not like the rounds i used to shoot in my Sphinx AT 2000 S. Also the reloading components, especialy the propellant i used to, Hodgdon HP38 and Titegroup, are not easy to get anymore in germany because of delivery problems. I am working up loads now with Vihtavouri Powders like 3N37 and N320.
