First SS match coming up.

[foilhat]

I will be shooting my first match this Sunday with my stock Kimber Classic Custom. The rule book states the pistol must weigh under 43oz. I added a S&A magwell to the pistol. I do not have a scale and was wondering if this pistol would be under the weight limit. The pistol also has a full length guide rod if that makes any difference.

Thanks for any help.

without a scale, the only way to get a good estimate is to find the stock weight of the from Kimber ( assuming its stock other than the magwell) and then weigh the two MSH seperately on a powder scale or something if it'll go that high and find the difference. I think you ought to be ok with it tho....

you will be just fine

It should be okay if the guide rod isn't tungsten. R,

My 45 cal Kimber Gold Match with an S&A magwell, ambi-safety and micarta "MonkeyGrips" weighs right at 40 oz without a mag.

[Corey]

make sure you weight it with a mag in the gun too...thats the weight they look at. gun AND empty magazine

Thanks for the help.

A Wilson 8-round mag with the .65 base pad weighs 2.4 oz. That would put my particular Kimber at 42.4 oz

Have Fun with it!

I just came back from the SS Nationals. I also shoot a Kimber. Mine weighed in at 40.5 ounces with a S&A mag well and the mag. I am thinking about adding a tungsten guide rod to mine. Don't know what they weigh but should be about right. Bshooter

Sounds like I'm OK with pistol weight, now if I can keep the nerves from getting me. Thanks guys
