Tell us about your shooting rig.

[Steve Anderson]

I overheard at a match that miller lite has significantly less calories and carbs than any other light beer...I don't know if it makes major for alcohol level.

[3quartertime]

I've always been scared of Miller Lite.   I figured if the pro football players couldn't decide if it ' taste great' or it was ' less filling' a scrawny little 'Rudy' type like me better just stay with an Anheuser- Busch product.

[twix]

For Limited: Glock 35 with a Bar-sto barrell and CGR trigger, Hi-viz fiber-optic front , stock adjustable rears (for now). Hogue power speed holster on Safari Land belts with Fobus double mag pouches. Full capacity mags with Arredondo pads. Same setup for L-10. Same thing for production except 10 round mags and an Uncle Mikes kydex hoster on a $13 western store belt. Old CED timer, Crony pal chrono, carried in a 5 gallon bucket with a lid to sit/load magazines on. Iced tap water in $3 bottle from Wally World. Oh, Dillion 650. And the beer? I prefer Kold. Whew! Sounds like I cheaped out on everything except the gun and press. I did! I did!

Pretty gats, Brad.....

[Duane Thomas]

Wilson Defensive Combat Pistol, in .45 ACP natch. With Slide Glide. Sights tweaked to .090" front, .125" rear.

In IPSC, Safariland 010 holster (I just don't trust all those pads and screws on more high-tech rigs). Safariland inner and outer belt. 771s for the mag pouches.

In IDPA, Blade-Tech Standard Belt Holster, Blade-Tech double mag pouch, Kramer black sharkskin and horsehide dress gunbelt for that look that says, "I have more class than you - or at least I can dress that way."

Wilson 7-, 8- or 10-shot mags, depending.

Dillon HP1 hearing protectors. Old Dillon Tactical 7S as a back-up in case the HP1 goes down (fat chance, I know).

Wallter's Original Range Bag, in stunning red and black, stays in the car with all the heavy stuff. Smaller bag (I honestly can't remember the maker) in Forest Green travels around with me at the match with a water bottle and a few boxes of ammo.

Laser-Cast 200-gr. LSWCs, loaded over 5.7-gr. Titegroup. Federal Large Pistol primers.

Wolff 14-pound variable power recoil springs. 17-pound Wolff hammer springs.

Nike Land Sharks for shooting outdoors. Nike Max Air for indoors in the winter.

My off-white Laser-Cast baseball cap, very important.

[Duane Thomas]

And a CED 6000 timer.

And two Dillon Square Deal Bs.

[Duane Thomas]

And Ray Ban's heavy duty Rx frame with clear lenses.

[spook]

For Revolver

A S&W 625-2 , model of 1988 (the first run).

Homemade velcro inner+outer belt

Homemade holster

Cali. Comp. Works Clipholders

For production

H&K P7M13 9mm

Sickinger leather holster (I love old-school)

[Madmark]

OK, I like show and tell....

Open:

Para steel frame lower, Caspian slide, Wilson bushing type barrel and 2 port comp, Aimpoint 5000 with the big dot, on a Weigand carbon fiber mount. (gets you long time IPSC guys reminiscing, doesnt it?)  Skate tape front and rear strap, Frame, comp and mag base pads finished with Brownells Teflon Moly in parkerizing grey-ugliest color imaginable. Ernie Hill Fast track with a Safariland in/out belt and 3 773 pouches. 2-20 round mags, 2-18 rounders.

Limited:

Witness small frame lower with a Witness P 40S&W large top end (made to work), blued, Hougues, Gold team safety. Has SA trigger, goes boom at 1 1/2 lbs with no creep. Carried in a Ernie Hill, with 773 pouches, on an old duty belt......

IDPA:

Witness Target ported, wonder finish. Has 9mm unported barrel in place of the 40S&W ported barrel, in the stock ported slide. This is legal for IDPA. Has Hougues, oversize safety, adjustable sights. This one shoots like a new gun, very tight frame to slide fit, very smooth, it got me sold on the Witless. Carried in a Galco Yaqui slide, with generic leather mag pouches.    

I have a slight vision problem, can see either one sight, OR the target. You just have to point the Witness and the bullets hit the target. And I'm new to this game! The eye doc says with my eyes forming cataracts, I should be shooting with the red dot. I can't be deteriorating. I havent grown up yet!!

[Julien Boit]

Limited:

For the moment, it's two SPS long frame / Full profile with tungsten guide rod, swenson ambi safeties .

Modified:

Winfield Armory frame with SPS lightened slide , schuemann Hybrid barrel and  Allchin Optima mount.

Single Stack:

A good old Colt 45 with classic barrel and bushing .  

Good old style leather holster, belt and mag pouches.

Old fashioned
