Yeah, someone, your blunders were not obvious to me either. Looks like that WI match had some cool stages. Those swingers are tough, and those falling turners were fast! They're excellent training — I hate them. And macphisto, I can't believe anybody who has a self-defense handgun doesn't shoot IDPA...
Is that the one you bought from me? If so I am pleased to know that it is being put to good use. :) Anyway, to semi-un-derail the thread: I just don't get California. So libertarian in some ways, home to beginnings of the practical pistol movement, then somehow veering toward totalitarian socialism....
I just received a Beltman Double layer belt with Velcro backing. WOW. It's stiff but comfortable and the sewn in velcro goes from 1:30 - 10:30. NICE belt. Time will tell if I like it in the long run as much as I like it today but I suspect I will. Oh, man I think I want one of those. Did you get th...
Quite the assortment :D , of those that have the Revolvers, seems you prefer at least a 6 inch barrel? what about an 8 inch? Nah. In my mind, the barrel length tradeoffs go something like this: < 4": GOOD: compact, handy, quick-pointing, "grab-resistant". BAD: more flash & ban...
We're kinda thinking along the same lines, except, if it was strictly for home and not also for carry, I'd have gotten a 4- or 5-inch barrel — or more likely, a shotgun.
I see Rock Island is actually made by Armscor in the Philippines -- same as Charles Daly 1911s. They should be getting the hang of it by now; I bet a new RI is better than my Daly.
I can't advise you knowledgeably about any of the specific 1911s you've mentioned, but when I bought my first 1911, I bought a cheap one on the theory that I could get it sooner and buy a load of ammo and start shooting it right away, and life is short so let's get it on. :) That was a Charles Daly ...
Your wife scheduled herself to work overtime on your anniversary.......Riiiiight :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: Who did you have to call and what did it cost you, when she finds out it was you, you are in deeeeep :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: She did, honest! I didn't rig anything -...
Maybe there's some Bermuda Triangle thing about Burnsville Pistol Range. I was there a couple years ago, packing up my range bag to leave while talking to somebody, and accidentally slipped my 1911 in its rug into a different compartment of my bag than it normally went in. Got done talking and zippe...
