Check out www.shootactionpistol.com I’m trying to get matches added to the calendar - but I have them all linked to the clubs hosting matches that I know about.

Just curious what’s most common at The Cup. Everyone I know shooting open is using 115gr with Titegroup. I started messing with other powders…Sport Pistol, Competition, No. 2, Win 231/244… Maybe 124’s? Just curious what others are shooting before I see if it’s worth it to run down the rabbit hole.

Correct…KKM doesn’t offer a .355 bushing Clark/Para barrel with anything other than 1/2x28, so that’s what I went with. So am I stuck? Or is there anything else?

I’ve been trying to find a new compensator for my Bianchi open gun. It’s got a KKM barrel, 1/2x28 threads and I’m having a heck of a time finding many options. Other than what I have now (ZR Tactical) all I’m seeing is a Tandemkross, and some 2011 comps. Any suggestions?

Are the Dillon mats listed on their website the same used at the cup? The ones on the website look much darker than I recall. Just want to make sure before I order one. I’ve experimented with a lot of different mats, but I guess I should use what we use at the cup. Thanks!

Hey Warren! Does the match start at 8:30? Or registration at 8:30? I’m in Columbia, so just planning my morning. Thank you!

Is Hogue the only company making a case large enough to fit an open gun? I’ve struck out several times trying to get a case for my open gun that isn’t sitting it in my range bag.

Just how much cash to bring and if there’s any kind of sign up. I assume once I get to the gates I’ll know where to go. Thank you!!!

Anyone shoot at Pioneer? Planning to go to their monthly match on Sunday but can’t find any info other than time.

At Crawfish I saw Bruce had mag carriers that held two mags side by side. Any idea the brand? I can’t find them, or anything similar online. Thanks!

I went ahead and opted to shoot 9mm…I tried a buddy of mines’s Colt, and even with 10 rounds, reloading and stage planning was a pain. So, I ordered a Girsan 1911 to goof around with. I’m not very serious about USPSA. My game is NRA Action Pistol but I like to support all the sports, and my clubs activities. It’s a mental trip for me..I just can’t square it away in my mind to shoot anything other than alpha’s…so caliber doesn’t have much effect on my score until I can figure out the mental part of accepting shooting fast enough to throw a few Charlie’s. Thanks guys!

Rock Island sells ramped .45 barrels in their online store, so I’m assuming at least one of their models must be ramped.

Thinking about switching to shooting single stack…just curious if most are shooting major and taking the hit on capacity or minor and taking advantage of the extra rounds.

Anyone know which RIA .45’s are ramped?

Hi All, Before writing NROI I thought I’d ask here if anyone knew if clones were covered under production. I have a Rock Island STK100, a Glock 17 clone (aluminum frame, 1911 grip angle) and I’d love to shoot it in CO but Rock Island doesn’t seem to be interested in submitting the NROI paperwork. I'm also thinking along the lines of something like the Girsan Regard, could it be covered under the Beretta flag. thanks!
