The original fixed choke 1100 barrels were fairly thin. When they went to Rem chokes the Muzzle area were made thicker to take the threading. The entire barrels were made thicker, which changed the weight and handling. Remington has since introduced "light contour" barrels which are thinner except for the Muzzle area for the chokes. So no, not all 1100 barrels are the same. You may need a different forend. It depends...

For that coin you can have a custom built 1911 or have Hamilton Bowen do some impressive revolver work.

Buddy of mine used to carry a G27 as backup in front jeans pocket.  He was also 7 feet tall and 320 pounds.

Quick Gunbroker  search for "9mm commander" yields Colt, STI, Kimber and "Republic Forge" http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=429638548.

I wonder if you got a Shot Show gun?  Intentionally set up so it couldn't fire and slipped into inventory somehow...

Sadly, tapping the timer shortly after the shooter appears finished would have the effect of adding a small random time that Practiscore wouldn't detect.  Only way to detect would be video board and someone paying attention or actually see the RO doing it.

I must be getting old as I know 2 of the principals being implicated.   Sad.

ROing 201: show the timer to the scorekeeper as the shooter is unloading.  -gets the time recorded before chance for it to pick up slide slamming shut, shot from another bay, etc. -speeds up reset -integrity of having another person verify time

and he swept the older gentleman... :(

With 2230 I get 3070 fps out of a 16" chrome lined 5.56 barrel.  It was too warm in a 223 boltgun.

Retriever Trials - my son's Scout troop helped as fund raiser; kids manned duck launchers and adults fired blanks.   90 degree day and a basket of dead ducks, got a little rank. I think they were someone's home brew "popper" loads and not commercial blanks.

Colt CCO, Sig 1911CO-45-BSS-RCS, or other manufacturer's versions of Officers frame and Commander slide.  4 1/4" barrel and height around 5".

1924 Parker VH, was built for a lifetime of hunting and its still very good at what it was built for

Some years ago SAAMI lowered the pressure limits on Hornet ammo by something like 5000 psi.  I think that really cut into the performance of those powders for the Hornet. 

I've got one of those 14" 41 Mag barrels. 1700 fps with 210s at under book max.
