You are going to find that it varies from one shooter to the next. I started with a gun with a couple of popple holes, then went to a gun with 4 big honkin hybrid holes. Now both of my guns don't have any holes in the barrel except the one for the bullet to come out of. Try as many as you can before you decide.

Thank you MS. Kitty and Moverfive. Your help will make my end of the year awards caculating a lot quicker.

Can I get Excel to give me the sum of the highest 6 values from a row of up to 12 values? If so, how?
For example
Row 1 100 90.5 93.8 100 99.08 68.22 99.05 100 100 100 best six would be 599.08
Are you wanting to Average or the Sum of the best six?
The sum of the best six.

The family across the street put out their decorations the day after Halloween.
Heck, a family down the road from me never took theirs down AND plugged them in all the time

I agree, I always thought that was why you got the day after Thanksgiving out of school. To help put up the Christmas stuff.

Personally I think KenD has been hanging around with some shady characters and just might need to follow Buddy's advice

If it really bugs you, then try volunteering to do the scores for the match. Since I started doing the scores for my match, I never fuss about scores taking a while.

We use some orange cones. Very easy to set them out.

Flex, resale is one of things I'm thinking about. If I build a gun that I know can make major with no problem, it seems like I'm not limiting myself to steel shooters. I guess that's why I'm thinking a full size with some slide lightning. I agree with you on the weight issue, I think I will prefer a slightly heavier gun. One more question, how do most people finish out the build as far as frame parts, do they go with the completion kits, or buy parts individually?
They let their smith decide.

The STI .22 conversion upper I put on my Springfield 1911 frame is a bit wider, but works flawlessly.
Not sure if that helps or not.

Those conversions that will work on either frame is what made me think they were all the same. But, now I wonder why people that want their 1911 slide fit to a widebody frame are always told not to do it, that it won't work right?
-
Thanks Merlin, That is what I thought also.
-
for a 1911 and one for a 2011? I thought they were the same slide, but someone told me recently that they are not. I have one from STI that the package says for 1911/2011 frames. So which is it?
-
Mine has a 6 inch 2 piece guide rod. Shooter's connection I think carries the plug that lets you use the 5 inch guide rod.

Since I'm due to renew my membership, I think I'll call and ask who the decision maker would be. Then I'll send them the pictures and see if I can get an official verdict. I'm not so sure about the I want to do it so it should be legal argument. The book says you can put decorative cuts on it just not lightening cuts. We'll see.
-
I'm not trying to make it lighter, I just really like the look with the flutes. They are pretty shallow, so I thought it would be all right.
-
FLAT TOP CUT, DEEP FRONT AND REAR COCKING SERRATIONS, TOP STRAP SERRATIONS, REAR SLIDE SERRATIONS, CARRY BEVEL MELTING, AND FRENCH CUTS ON THE SLIDE ARE ALL OK, AND ALL REDUCE WEIGHT. FLUTES ON THE OTHER HAND, CANNOT SERVE ANY OTHER FUNCTION.
Really? I think they are decorative, so I guess they can serve another function. Tri-topping would take way more weight off the slide than the flutes do.

Keep em coming, I really like some of these. -
I really want to copy the lines and design of this gun, but change the finish. It would be in 9mm and would make weight. What do you think?
I think it would be fine.

See what I mean. I've never really been overly fond of my screen name, just not creative enough to come up with something else at the time. It's just kind of hung around all this time. I like B4THEBAN also.

Yep, I'd forgotten about the rules
Not bad so far, the person that PM'd me with the idea Sandbagger1......................Shame on you, not even funny

I need some ideas for a custom serial number for a limited/ESP gun I want built. I'm not a very creative person, so I thought I start here.
Thanks.

I happen to know that Jaxshooter is not telling the whole truth......he has added flames to the grip of his open gun to keep his hands warm
