1hole Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Looks like a wealth of information here. Don't know if I will ever shoot match, never know though.Found this site quite by accident. Was looking for parts for my 70 series Mk IV and found it. Hope you don't mind me hanging around. Heck, shooting match may be a possibility. In the meantime, still like to get opinions on gear. There is a pretty big gun show in Houston next weekend I plan to attend. Any one there would probably recognize me. I'll be the middle-aged guy with the "kid in the candy store" expression on my face! thanks, 1hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USBP379 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Welcome, Amigo. I started attending matches as a spectator, until I decided to take the plunge and get down to business with my 1911. Been shooting competition and at work since 1998. Opinions around here are many and varied when it comes to gear. Most of us have a Craftsman toolbox full of holsters, magazines, optics, belts, and pretty much whatever you'd like to try, so ask around and try before you buy. If you ever shoot with River City Shooters in San Antonio, I can hook you up. Enjoy! USBP379 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1hole Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Welcome to the forum! I wish I had seen your post earlier, haven't been to a gun show in a year or so. It's not too late. Show is at Reliant the 18th and 19th. This weekend. Make plans now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidnal Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Welcome to the forum. Hopefully we can tempt you to come shoot a match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidnal Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) Cool, I'll go. Thanks for the heads up. It turns out that all of the gunshows are in Houston the same weekend we shoot BAPS. I only get to go if the match rains out! I haven't been for a couple of years. Edited September 15, 2010 by sidnal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Amish 1 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 They're usually Saturday and Sunday. That'll leave Saturday for BAPS and Sunday for looking for a new gun. Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Bear Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Don't know if I will ever shoot match, never know though.... In the meantime, still like to get opinions on gear. Go to the nearest match and be a "spectator." Don't forget to bring your gun, a holster, some magazines and ammo. The best view of the match is always from behind the gun.

snake32 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 i watched a match about a year ago. shot the next one at my local range with my 45acp. in the past year i bought a few different guns and shot them in matches. im now shooting open and love it. if you like to shoot you will love this sport. just give it a chance.
