Steve Anderson Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 You guys are correct, I never drop a mag in dry fire, hard on mags and wastes time. Would you feel better if I did it and dropped a mag? Trust me, I hit the button every time... (I have worn out the mag button detents on two caspian mags dry firing...maybe the wear is inevitable) Let's see what tomorrow brings. SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waktasz Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Heck, anything under 9- 10 seconds for a Prez was thought to be hot shjt back in the 70's and early eighties. Things change and I welcome it. I don't feel too too bad then. I'm fairly new and shot a 13 second run at an IDPA match from concealment with my 'limited' gun. God I need a range around here where I can set up something like this and run it a few (hundred) times. The indoor range isn't cutting it anymore.

MTrout40 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 This is what it might look like...Dry fire 2.8 I did a bunch tonight at 2.8, with a not-so-great reaction time and finishing right on the par. If I can better the reaction time, 2.6-7 will be doable dry, giving us a .3 cushion for live fire. This will happen in the spring. SA Steve, dry fire drill racing is like magazine racing...you're dyno might show higher peaks than mine, but what are you doing on the street!?!?! I wanna see live fire baby!!!! FWIW, I dry fire with full mags....... Love ya Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Merricks Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I hate you guys. All this talk made me get up early and dry fire this morning. Even broke a sweat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Anderson Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Trout, It's the only way I know to rapidly improve until a few things happen: a. Somebody gives me a million rounds of 7625 under a 125 zero in a supercomp case. b. My wife agrees to live in a van on the range. c. I become independently wealthy. We can't all be as fast as you with little or no practice. Seriously, I put that video up to show that the human body can accomplish the task... just to put that to rest.

Flexmoney Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 b. My wife agrees to live in a van on the range. Steve, Have you asked her??? You never know. She can be in charge of calling the company to ensure the port-a-pot is properly serviced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierruiggi Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 FWIW, I dry fire with full mags....... You're probably doing this since a long time ago, however I must warn you that after repeated practices, the ammunition starts to deform, specially the bullet itself, from the constant hitting of the underside of the slide when inserting a mag. Worst case scenario would be a failure to feed or perhaps even a loosely seated bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRD Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I'm sure he's not using actual live rounds...I hope - Gabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Yep, I have bullets all over the floor from my dummy rounds falling apart over time. I just make more. Bullet, case, no primer or powder. They stay in dedicated dry fire mags and get checked every time. I dropped mags in the beginning, and just got tired of picking them up all night. Flex, I just asked her. No reply, just shook her head and rolled her eyes. I'm no expert in female communication (even after 10 yrs of wedded bliss) but I think that's not a good sign.

EricW Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Steve, Just watched your vid. I'm adding a new requirment: ammo has to make 195PF. Anything to slow you down. I feel myself getting poorer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Schwab Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 So Steve, you're using the Caspian open gun for this challenge, but Jake, as I recall, you shoot production...what are you using for this challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I did a 4.36 w/ 8-alphas & 4-charlies yesterday with my CZ-85. That's only 1.37 seconds away from winning this contest. And yes Skipper, I was consistantly in the mid to high 4's with my hits (not always pretty ones though), how 'bout that. I guess there is something to be said for reaching for the stars, cause that was by far my best run ever and it was too cold out for my taste to boot. Good luck guys.

driver8M3 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 turtle, oh great...you're practicing. i hate to see you handicapping yourself by trying this with your production setup. i really think you should switch to open this year, as jake has...and stay there! and take sevigny and a few others with you. 52 pts in 4.36 seconds??? production???? i think i'm reloading at 4.3 seconds....

GRD Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Tried a bunch on IDPA targets Sunday with a Springfield single-stack and Wally World Winchester .45 (makes 192 or something): times hovered around 5.25 or so. Best 4.94 and one 4.99. Best I can say about the hits is that they were on the paper! It goes up to 7.5-ish or more shooting for the zeros...ugh. I know BE says you can shoot A's as fast as you can shoot D's...I'm still trying to figure that one out... - Gabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
