lawboy Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Shot a classifier this past weekend just to get a little practice in for state next weekend. On the first stage, I load and make ready as directed. I am feeling in the zone, ready to rock and roll! At the buzzer, I bring the gun up and take my first shot. I press the trigger a second time. CLICK. Tap. Rack. CLICK. Tap. Rack. CLICK. Pull magazine. That is when I notice that the magazine is hanging out of the gun and had not locked into place. THEN I noticed that I had put a WILSON eight round magazine into the gun but the magazine had the base pad for an OFFICER'S size frame! DOH. I sometimes shoot several short 1911s and somehow I let this magazine get into the bag with the mags set up for the full size guns. Lesson learned, the hard way.
