John Amidon told me that backstrap removal or any mod to one would be illegal for production.

thanks all,
I just placed an order for the wwim CD's; Im in the truck a lot, and theyll be good for the trip to nationals, too.

Are the two biggest things keeping me from improving.
Fear of shooting like the shooter that I currently am.
Pride, because I think Im a better shooter than I am.
Why is it so hard to stay within my capabilities?
I dont want to make excuses for my performances and pretend Im a better shooter.
-this is thinking aloud more than anything else.

A second option is to stipple the stock para panels.
Ive done this also; my stippling is a little more aggressive and about the same, grip-wise as grip tape.

They need to be tig welded if you want them to hold up.
All of the quality double stack mags for Para and S_I are two piece, cracking them when reshaping them isn't all that uncommon.
Yes they are polished stainless;
-and thanks hsmith, its reassuring that they occasionally crack; I try hard not to be a hack.
Good news is that 4 of 6 are tuned and working well.

I purchased some SPS for para mags off of the classifieds and all of them were way too big, from front to back. I had to squeeze them down about .012" for them to drop free. The last two I was squeezing and they cracked along their welds in a few spots, not all the way down the mag
I noticed that the sps mags are welded from two separate stampings; and there are both front and back welds. Are S_I mags two piecers too?
I wonder if silver brazing will fill the cracks with sufficient strength?

If you dont mind a wait; david elderton makes the absolute best kydex gear; www.kytac.com
Dave Sevigny appears to think so, too.

The OK revolver/s.s. sectionals are being held at USSA in Tulsa this weekend; I think its a level 2 match.

Ive seen several in gun shops and they look crappy, imo, as far as fit and finish.
Id much rather get into a springfield milspec for the same price. The taurus' extra "custom" parts are cheap knockoffs.

Id be interested to know gas prices along the way; Ill bump this thread before I leave next month .

Since I was figuring on $2.80/gal tops for my 3300 mile round trip from Oklahoma City to Missoula; I am now taking applications for stowaways for the trip.
Hopefully I wont have to open up a backrub kiosk at the vendor tent to pay for the trip home.
Any one interested in jumpin on along the way; let me know. Im leaving Sunday afternoon from OKC and shoving off from Missoula on the following Sunday morning.
Chain smokers and the extreme lactose-intolerant need not apply.

Ernie Hill; the standard of old school gun leather.
Your best best is to look on ebay for his stuff.

anywhere between 3.55 and 3.64 grains

Ed Brown makes an ambi safety that looks like it could take to flight.
As far as the sear pin retainer, Im only aware of Kings ambi as having this, but you lose a decent amount of paddle space.

Thank goodness for DVRs, had my neighbor record this and just watched it... kinda makes me want an M&P. The Todd Jarrett segment was pretty neat too.
Julie, if you see this: I'm assuming you've had work done on the trigger of your M&P? I've always loved the feel of the gun, but can't get over how hard it is to me to keep the sights still with the stock trigger pull.
The trigger can be worked on, its like night and day, too.
-
go to the man; Charlie Vanek makes a great product. Beautiful trigger on my 35.

where in the rules does it say that ssd is meant for, or is designed to be run by single stack carry guns?
I hear these arguments about how this magwell would be impossible to conceal, blah, blah...
We have a game, we have a division, we have rules for the division (a box) and now there are complaints about the "spirit" of the division.
Maybe we should be required to wear a cover garment too, huh?
OH; my vote is for whatever fits in the box is good to go.

it could be that your barrel is unlocking sooner, in which case a new barrel link may be in order. How dso the slide's barrel lugs look, any peening?

last year; L10 Nats
won 1st C class.
had a great time, first time I realized that shooting is a full time job.

thanks for the one stage with all the head shots, troy.
you are a sadist!
-
A couple stages have a line connecting a popper to a port in a wall with an arrow, do those poppers activate a window to open or something?
I saw that; usually they tell you what activates a mover in the stage description.
I believe they show line of sight, one popper array can be seen from one port and the other from another port.
All comstock except one. CM8-03

Some older paras have the notch about 3/16" lower than what a normal sear spring would use.
Took a small cut off wheel to my para, made another thin slot and now it works on normal springs.
-this is what needs to be done in lieu of calling para up and getting their proprietary sear spring.
why trust the operation of a pistol to a mismatched part, pliers, and a blowtorch?
