Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. When you get lost in stages............because everything HAD to be "Revolver friendly" in the previous century! .....or "I don't have to reload....only 28 rounds......sheeeeesh.
  2. Hey Nicrin!!!!! I have probably 300 of Dwight's 152's left.....they're a work of art. Dwight took a H&G 200 grain and put it on a lathe and shaped the nose and cut of the beveled base and sent it off to a mould maker. I bought 500 of Missouri Bullets coated 155's......we shall see. Penn bullets also has a cast version that I will try. I love this bullet. I can remember when he first made them they were the only bullet I've ever heard that would hissssssss down range. Velocity and conical shape of the nose. I remember when we were trying to work up loads with it and several guys got over 1500 fps over the chronograph! Wow! My Dillon was still set up for 7.9 grains of WW231 for these.....zooooooom! I think I will try to get a hold of Dwight in a month or so just to say Hi! This particular gun he built for himself and sold to another guy has zero wiggle in the slide to frame fit and zero downward movement of the barrel. He was insatiable in his work like a mad scientist. And a humble and helpful man. I got the gun back from a friend who thought I would enjoy having it from those days. There are very few rounds on it and still seems like I'm breaking it in. He set up a trigger on my original comp. gun with 13oz trigger with no hammer follow and crisp as hell! It's too bad the .45 is not as competitive as it was but I'm gonna have some fun. Who are you and where are you from maybe I've hung out with you or shot with you?
  3. I remember Zen.....attained Zen in the late 80's. It means becoming so proficient with your firearm that things just flow...... .70 draws on target, sub 4 second El Pres, being able to hit pop cans in the air, shooting clays going away from you with a .45, one second reloads, making shots that surprise even you.......it's muscle memory......2nd nature..... Hope I can get it back!
  4. I will shoot open with it. I bought a Safariland rig (014) for it.......First night a guy with his Atlas Gunworks limited threw in his 27 rounder......I did have to reload three times and I ran the stage quicker.....Good Gawd ya'll I'm 59 hehe. I will be building an STI open gun this summer but because of the nostalgia I need to keep the 'ol blunder buss intact. I have other guns to run Production and Limited. I'm really interested in who's comp this is and the recoil system.....If any old timers might know.... ;-)
  5. Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, After a long hiatus I'm gonna try to shoot USPSA again. I used to shoot with the SCAPSA club near St. Cloud, Mn. (circa 80's and early 90's) I had sold off most of my Action shooting gear and now trying to get new gear. I used to shoot a compensated .45 made by Jim Stroh of Alpha Precision. I did manage to scare up a comped 1911 made by Dwight Behn of SCAPSA. Dwight also developed the VMax 152 bullet for the .45. (If any of these names ring a bell feel free to chime in) I will probably post a couple of pix of the 1911 as I am drawing a blank on the type of comp and recoil spring assembly. I will probably start a STI 9mm major build real soon.
