uscbigdawg Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Not surprising. Basically all the guys on the team have their own guns. No reason IMHO why they couldn't shoot a particular manufacturer's gun. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eerw Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 If Max shoots more production..this will be a good thing for SIG.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double_pedro Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Whatever company Max signs on with will be very fortunate...he's one of the very best of the best and a great representative for the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbs007 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I can see him shooting a Sig GSR 1911; or some combination of it. Can a sponsored shooter shoot a gun with a different brand upper and lower combination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Jerry Barnhart did it for years (SV frame and Colt slide). Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgunz11 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I have a class lined up with Max so we have been exchanging emails. I'll ask and see if he can comment on any of this. I do know Ernest Langdon works for S&W now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwx40x40 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I can see him shooting a Sig GSR 1911; or some combination of it. Can a sponsored shooter shoot a gun with a different brand upper and lower combination? Things may be changing some now, but It looks like Jerry Miculek's Open equipment in 3 Gun is anything but S&W... STI Open Pistol, DPMS Rifle, Remmy 1100. But , I could be wrong.

Mo Hepworth Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 it would be great if HK sponsored a high end name shooter. The new HK P30-L is a great gun for production. CZ. Glock, S&W and springfield are all sponsored out,..the HK is wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I talked to Max at the Ft. Benning and he said he was coming out of the Army soon and would be signing on with a gun company. Didn't name the company and said they were going to announce at the SHOT Show. Guess it got out a bit early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSabbath Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) I've known Max since he was 10 years old. He shot with us at a club in Amite, LA. He was always a very polite young man, and I'm glad to see him do so well. He's still the same nice guy after all these years. I remember a match in 1994 we had there. It was a Limited gun only format the club was trying out (Limited was new at the time). We had about 50 shooters and Little Max came in 5th overall shooting an EAA 9mm. That meant 45 grown men had to go home and tell their wives/girlfriends they just got beat by a 12 year old shooting minor. He'll do very well for Sig, or anybody else he represents. Keep going Max!

Viggen Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 It would be good to see Max shooting Production - a nice addition to the Area 2 family of regular top notch shooters who make the November trip. And if this rumored SIG thread has any truth to it, it could provide credibility for SIG in this game and feedback to SIG about what is viable. A win-win situation for everybody.

rtr Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Max is a hell of a nice guy and a great shooter, great to see him doing some different things in the shooting world. When he taught a class I attended a little over a year ago it sounded like he was considering leaving the army. From what he said AMU shooters aren't allowed to be sponsored by any outside companies. While shooting open in the AMU he shot an STI but wasn't technically sponsored by them. There is at least one other very good production shooter that shoots a Sig, Roger Sherman.

Jaxshooter Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I am sure Sig can come up with any type of gun for USPSA competition from production to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kend Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Without going back through my emails I'm thinking it was a robotics company that develops stuff for the military, I don't remember the name though. He likes getting equipment to the guys in combat that will help them the most. Yeah, it was VERY recent. I do know Ernest Langdon works for S&W now though. Not any more.....
