CHA-LEE Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I was looking at the "Top 20 Classification" list on the USPSA website and noticed that Johnny Brister (L1740) just got his GM classification in Single Stack. This gives him a GM classification in all six gun divisions!!! I have listed his classification report below. This has to be a HUGE accomplishment for him Classification for JOHNNY B - L1740 OPEN Class: GM Current Pct: 96.983 High Percent: 97.563 LIMITED Class: GM Current Pct: 97.671 High Percent: 97.943 LIMITED10 Class: GM Current Pct: 97.641 High Percent: 97.641 PRODUCTION Class: GM Current Pct: 100.000 High Percent: 100.000 REVOLVER Class: GM Current Pct: 99.804 High Percent: 99.804 SINGLESTACK Class: GM Current Pct: 95.747 High Percent: 95.747 I don't even know this guy but I sure would like to meet him some day so I could shake his hand and say "JOB WELL DONE!!!"

Sarge Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Anyone know what pistol he shoots in production? By the looks of things he could do it with a handful of rocks. Very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eerw Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) The few times I have seen Johnny shoot. He was very nice and fun to watch. That is quite the feat. Edited April 15, 2010 by eerw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDean Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 And this guy isn't a pro shooter why?! A GM Classification does not mean you're at the same level as the best in the sport. (nothing against John. That's a cool thing he's done) I think the only way someone should get GM is to get 95% or better at Nationals...but that's a bit off topic. Well done Johnny!

(nothing against John. That's a cool thing he's done) It doesn't? Isn't that the point of the class system? At any rate, how is it this guy is flying under the radar for so many of us?

chbrow10 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I don't think this is his full time job, but I am not sure. I know that he is sponsored by Precision Delta, and a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliffwalsh Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 He has been a 6 gun GM for quite a while. He shoots a lot of Revolver so no one pays him any attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Di Vita Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 It doesn't? Isn't that the point of the class system? last time i checked, thats exactly what it means, haha. How many times have you guys seen a GM shoot 70% of the match winner? I have seen it lots. I agree totally with TDean. Cool stuff regardless.

Bwana Six-Gun Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I have shot with/against Johnny many times in local matches and in the Miss. Classic. He is truly a class act. He is in the same category as Jerry Miculek. He will talk to anyone and give you pointers and answer your questions. The first time my daughter shot in the Miss. Classic, I had her squadded with Johnny since I was working as an RO and could not coach her through the match. I spoke with Johnny before the match and told him about this and he was more than glad to keep an eye on her and help her out. I am proud to call him a friend. By the way, in addition to being a 6 way GM, he is also the only one I know who has won the High Overall and/or the State Champion in the Miss Classic in every division.

Will_M Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) The first match I ever shot was with Johnny Brister. He's a nice guy and great to be around and I'm proud to call him a friend.
