Flexmoney Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 shred, So, most shot some kind of 1911 conversion like the Marvel (or one of the many that Patrick Sweeney wrote an article about a while back)? Was there any brand/type of .22 ammo that was preferred? I know that the .22's are picky, any brand stand out? Sorry for all the newbie questions. I am trying to cypher whether people figure out what works on an individual basis, or if there is a setup that is somewhat of a standard. Oh...at our local steel match, we shoot 5 runs and toss out the slowest. Same at the Challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 It's hard to say if there was a 'GM Standard Issue' .22 for the Challenge. Marvels (in both single-stack and fat-mag) were somewhat popular and the buzz was that Bob's getting them up to Challenge levels of reliability now, as much as it pains him to lose 1/4" of accuracy at 50 yards. He had a new chamber reamer made up to make them more reliable for steel. If you order one, tell him what you want it for and he'll recut it before it ships. Downside to those is pricy magazines you really need five of. Great guy and sponsor which makes me feel much better about buying them. I didn't see any non-1911 conversions that I remember. The biggest problem was range dust.. it's fine and gets into everything. That and bad Juju caused most every .22 except the revos to jam at one point or another. Even the ones that never jam jammed. Even the Super Squad .22's jammed (of course they may have traded some reliability for familiarity of grip, sights and trigger) Ammo was all over the place. The Remington Golden BB's (or whatever the gold looking ones are called) were probably the most common since they're cheap, reliable and fairly clean for .22 ammo. I shot CCI mini-mag solids because they worked best for me in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Does anyone know what the exact setup of Jerry Miculek’s main match revolver was? Was it an N-frame? Six or eight shots? Long skinny barrel or lug? Caliber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Spook What do you care what Jerry shot, he will be calling you to see what you are shooting after your big win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 PC 627 .38 Super w/ a C-More. It appeared to be as it comes from the factory, though I'm sure there were trigger mods, etc. (didn't notice if the hammer was bobbed, however). Definitely an 8-shot N-frame, black cylinder, red, white and blue grips, tapered underlug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 TL, thanks, I appreciate the confidence. But I'm pretty sure that Jerry would kick my ass from here to anyplace he'd like. 300lb, thanks for the info. Just what I thought. Gotta get me one of those fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
