That was a great one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I started shooting whatever it was called back then in 1979. Everything was leather and we all shot 1911's, mostly Colt with H&G 68 bullets (200 gr SWC, they did make great holes) with Win 231 Powder and 18 1/2 # recoil springs. Most of us made our own Bullets, using Plumbers Lead, Wheel Weights and Line-O-Type. Had our own formula and sources for the stuff. The test was if you could not score the bullet with your thumbnail it was hard enough to shoot. God only knows what our Lead Levels were back then. But it was fun............

Steve RA Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I started in 86 at the Nationals in Dallas, still about the same then, Ernie Hill leather and H&G 200 gr semi wadcutters. Still 19lls but wasn't long until comps began to spring up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I started in '88 with a BHP, and quickly switched to 1911 with 200 gr SWC's and W231. But, yeah, those "gamers" with their 10-shot .38 supers ruined it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnceACowboy Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Yep, you can tell you are an old timer when .... John Shaw was there and he had just won some big championship. I had to borrow brother in law pistol, crossdraw still allowed so I shot it that way. Back home with a little time I realized I was faster on the hip but I still have it.
