Micah Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 It came to me in a dream....shoot a Single Stack, save the world.... So after much perseveration and research, as well as discussion with other trusted shooters, I decided to acquire a Trojan 40 cal blaster. You gotta realize that nothing spooks this Glocks Only guy more than the thought of shooting a 1911, but I believe that the time has come. I did not, not, NOT want to go with 40...and tried to talk myself into thinking that the two additional rounds allotted to the 9mm crowd would balance out the difference between major and minor scoring. The bullets are cheaper, I have TONS of 9mm brass, less powder, less recoil...9mm has been a constant friend for me for many years. Again, the trusted voices of reason chimed in and in unison conveyed one important message: Minor Sucks. So I went with 40. With the trusted smithing of Buddy Runner, true functioning of Tripp magazines, sex appeal of STI contingency funds, and a winter of dryfire, I hope to powerfully transition from the cold reliability and clunky trigger of a Glock to the brave new world of 1911s in time to be ready for the Florida Open. In the mean time, here is the video from the match today at Oxford: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lrf Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Micah, How come on stage 2 you didn't shoot everything from 1 position? Is that a Radiohead track in the background? Nice shooting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shot an STI executive and the thing that scares me now about moving from my trusted g17 is 2700 Bucks I am fixing to spend on the STI lol!

dcarter Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Oxford was a good match. Nice shooting! Money has always been a factor in what I shoot and unless I happen to have a long lost relative kick the bucket and leave me a good amount of it I'm going to stay in Production for a long time to come.

Jake Di Vita Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Again, the trusted voices of reason chimed in and in unison conveyed one important message: Minor Sucks. FWIW, I remember several years ago talking to Sevigny and a few other guys about this subject. The general consensus was that shooting minor when you could shoot major costs you about 10% in the overall standings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 ... to the brave new world of 1911s ... That right there made me laugh. Something kinda ironic about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamann Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Absolutely nothing wrong with shooting a Single Stack gun. They are cool, would love to have one myself and oh man the trigger. It's like Production on steroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general consensus was that shooting minor when you could shoot major costs you about 10% in the overall standings. And at the GM level when we grasp at tenths of a percent, going major was the only answer. Still waiting on the funds to reach the seller. Once then, my gunsmith will redress this beauty the way I like it, and I will have a month to learn to love it until the Florida Open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Furthermore on what Jake said...I completely believe that with proper technique, and adequate strength...major loads time the same in many levels as minor loads...all though there are several differences that prevent major 40 and minor 9 from being timed at the same cycle rate...

I like the way my .40 gun cycles better than my 9mm. Sure the 9mm is soft but it just feels sluggish to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
