Eureka1911

Add me to that list. Wilson combat MSH/Magwell/Wolff 10# MS/ and a steel firing pin. Thousands of rounds of trouble free shooting.

Slide Glide on the major parts. Weapon Shield on the ignition parts. 13,000trouble free rounds.

Yep. I've been using these for the past couple of years. Really like them. I recently went to bullets out. Like that lot too.

I shoot single stack because I am a dinosaur. For me after a 1911 everything else is just a gun. Except for my 6" Ruger Redhawk!!

That has been my only issue, and it is a rare one. With just over 20K through my SA loaded .45 I have yet to have either a FTF or FTE in either practice or competition.

FWIW all the "Y" flags that were changed to "P" are now back to "Y". Not sure why this happened, but the explanation above makes sense as a possibility.

That makes sense. All the changed flags were from the same match. Thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye on it and see if they revert to "Y" again.

Thanks. I read that already. but these have changed from "Y" to "P". They had been previously been used and are still within the range of scores that would still be used to calculate my classification. I am wondering if there is an explanation as to why the flag changed from "Y" to "P"??

I was looking at my classifier record. I have four Classifier scores that had previously been flagged "Y" and used, now suddenly they are showing as "P". Any idea what this may mean?

I went with Ben Stoeger. DAA belt, 6 racer pouches (bullets out), BOSS hanger. I use a Redhill Tactical double layer holster. Very happy with the set up.

I can't really add anything regarding technique to what's already been posted. One thing I try to keep in mind is that this is a journey and not a destination. Don't try to rush your improvement or beat yourself up over your performance. Each match is a learning opportunity. Focus on doing better than you did last time. Keep working on basics rather than focusing on the results.

Really didn't make me feel better. I knew I screwed up. Sorry for even bringing it up. I wish it had not happened, clearly I need to refocus myself.

I get that. I was pretty sure I was on that road. Always super careful, never compromise safety for speed. Then I screwed up. Paid the price and learned a lesson. Was not trying to make light of it, but the RO was a M class shooter and right after I holstered after showing clear those were the words he said to me. Your point is well taken however, no matter how long you go, there is no guarantee you won't.

Huh?

It is flat wrong to think only new guys who don't know the rules get DQ'd. A couple of matches ago I was sitting comfortably in the shade while the next shooter got ready. I heard the "Make Ready" command and then saw people scattering in front of me. I looked up and saw the muzzle of the M Class shooter staring me in the face on the ground where he had dropped it while re-holstering.

As has been said many times, there are only 2 kinds of shooters, those that have been DQ'd and those that will. I went 32 matches, over 180 stages before my first, which was yesterday. 2nd shooter, first stage. Shooting though holes in walls and narrowly slits. Zipping right along, moving backwards and to my left (right handed shooter), and I broke 180 bigly during a reload! So there's something I'll think about long and hard. Better still I drove 3 hours and spent money on a hotel. Let's just say it was a long ride home!

We run ours at a small range, only 5 stalls. We do 1 stage at a time, 1 squad. Works well. Stages are not as complex in general as when they are outside, but still lots of fun. We also shoot a low light stage once in a while.

With 10+ man squads there are more than enough people to shag brass while others tape. We do this at most of the matches I go to. Works fine.

As much as I can get. I shoot single stack. I have VZ Recons on mine. SA loaded came with a smooth front strap. I use 3M clear non-skid tape on it. Stays stuck, even when using brake cleaner on the frame.

Took about 2 hours after I first downloaded it for it to start to work right. Server issues for sure. But now it works smooth as silk. I'm pretty happy with it.

I've gone back and forth in my SA loaded. Currently using the blue Wilson Shok-Buf. Has not caused any issues at all. I like the way the recoil cycle feels. YMMV

I know, right? I was not a too sloppy shot before lightening the trigger up. Didn't lighten it up thinking it would make me a better shot. But I fell prey to the idea that USPSA and other action shooting needed a light pull. Probably the difference between a crappy 6 pound pull and a crisp 4 pound pull is worth it. But at least for me I think that the difference between crisp 3-1/2 and crisp 4-1/2 is not that big of a deal.

Like I said, I never once had an issue with the lighter spring. Never had an AD or any other malfunction. Until last week on my final mag next to last round the hammer dropped to half cock. So I put the stock spring back in. No issues with it either. I expected to notice the heavier spring more than I did.

Could be. The light spring went in about 7,000 rounds or so ago. I was just surprised that the increased pull really did not bother me. I only notice it when pulling the trigger very slowly. When firing normally I do not notice it at all.
