IPSC CHIK1

Production class could just as well be called Entry Level class. of the pistols used, only the glock is used by anyone after they have shot for a while. it quickly becomes evident to the users of double action pistols (with the possible exception of the Para LDA), that double action is a HUGE handicap. yes, there are shooters who can make them sing, buy it IS the shooter, not the pistol. Every shooter who excels with a double action, does better with a 1911 pattern pistol. just look at match results. as for LTD vs LTD10, so what? the magazine hi cap ban sun sets in 2004 and with the republicans holding both houses and the white house you can kiss that law good bye.

once again we must go back to Coopers' question of "what are we trying to accomplish?". the use of the term "tactical" seems to be used to attract more shooters who do not like to be called "limited". but, what IS "tactical"? to me tactical is the BEST tool to SAVE MY PRECIOUS SELF! if i am fool enough to go into a gunfight with only a pistol then i want the most powerful, accurate, controllable, highest magazine capacity pistol i can find. and that happens to be my OPEN CLASS PARA ORDNANCE 9X23 RACE GUN. it is hard to argue that 27 rds of 357 magnum power in a much more controllable pistol is NOT a wise choice. stuffed with winchester 125gr silvertips it would be an awesome defensive tool. for a pistol. so, for those of you pondering "tactical", what ARE you trying to accomplish? are you trying to attract more shooters? are you trying to be a training facility? are you trying to be GI Joe? define that and you will be most of the way home to defining "tactical" for YOUR purposes. but remember, they may NOT be "tactical" for MY purposes.

Quints story of the Indianapolis has the horror of being true. Sharon Anne L 2387

since i joined this forum i have been signing my name. recently i added my uspsa #. i have not been active in uspsa this last year because of health issues but as has been said, it would not take much to find my last name. not having my name in the phone book IS a plus <G>. i know benos has seen me though we have never spoken. rio salado is my home range so it is not like i am a stranger. and thanks to a new diagnosis and a breakthrough therapy i shall soon return to work after a year of disability, and soon there after i shall return to competition. Sharon Anne L 2387

yes i DO keep to southern climes. I LOVE AZ. i came to phoenix in october of 1999 on a 3 month travel nurse contract and never left. if Rio Salado is not ipsc/uspsa/practical shooter heaven, well i don't know what is. you can shoot steel every tuesday night, plus EVERY month we have 3 uspsa matches, a rifle/shotgun match, a single stack match, a 22 practical match, an ICORE match, an IDPA match, and i probably missed something. this in addition to a 300yd public range with over 20 shaded benches, a 22 rifle range, 22 silhouette range, 500 meter silhouette range, 500yd high power range and a field archery range. if t that is not enough for you, across town at the Ben Avery range (nee: Black Canyon) we have the home of the Cactus Combat Match League. there you can shoot paper/steel every thursday evening, and each month, a uspsa match, an IDPA match, an ICORE match, plus a 200 yd public range, various shotgun sports, and all the other rifle games previously mentioned. i AM in heaven Sharon Anne L 2387

yes Dear Detlef it REALLY is that simple. you want a girl to participate in an activity, give her a clean private place to pee. Sharon Anne L 2387 PS, i said stop ACTING like idiots. you cannot handle a firearm safely and be an idiot.

for GENUINE Para Ordnance hi caps go to Dawson Precision, he bought up a warehouse full before the ban. and he charges only $10 more than the pre ban price, which is about what the price would have gone up anyway. Sharon Anne L 2387

my Para Ordnance p 14 running factory mags has yet to fail me. perhaps some people tinker too much. Sharon Anne L 2387

i use a CR Speed holster. it has a trigger guard lock feature that locks the gun IN the holster. it CANNOT fall out no matter what postitions you get yourself into Sharon Anne L 2387

in THAT case, i have big brass ones! Sharon Anne L 2387

Jake has built all my stuff. The ONLY reason I would go anywhere else is if they don't do it. Accuracy Speaks, your one stop practical shooting shop! Sharon Anne L 2387

as long as men find womens' need for clean toilet facilities to be a joke,you will be seen as social outcasts and out of the mainstream, as you are now. it is no joke. if you want to be seen as what you are, the majority, then stop acting like idiots. Sharon Anne L 2387

get the Jakenator 4 chamber from Accuracy Speaks. it is the one jerry mikelik copied in a 3 chamber design. Sharon Anne L 2387

HE MAN class?!?!?!!? Sharon Anne L 2387

(sigh) men. you can't handle what you have and you want more. sheesh! Sharon Anne

American Shooter is well familiar with USPSA matches. They covered the Mystery Mountain 3 Gun in 2000 and did a fine job. It is no doubt the fault of some rookie director screwing up the editing. Scouten has spent enough time with Robbie to know his ass from a spent primer. Sharon Anne

well Duane, i never did have the "balls" yet i shoot ipsc anyway. and nothing will get the whiners to the range. they enjoy whining too much. Sharon Anne

$23,500 or 18 Dillon Super 1050s

we looked at a manually operated camdex back in the 80s when we were all running 200gr 45s with 231 powder. $1800 then. but $23,500, YIKES

with the changes in Canadas' fire arms laws, what is the status of IPSC in Canada? Sharon Anne

i ran 152s and then 155s when i talked my local caster into making them. ran them in my triple chamber comp by jake kempton until i had jake build me a 9x23. i loved the 155s in my 45
