Agreed. I shot a friend’s comped G48 last weekend and the meager gain in control was offset by the LOUD report. I think most people who claim it’s a huge gain probably just need to fix their grip.

I have one of these on a CZ 455 and it’s a good one. GLWS

I was a driver for the competition.

Are they just starting the team? How has the school treated you? A friend was a coach for a local high school trap team and some of the kids starting shooting SASP. The school freaked out and the team eventually dis-affiliated with the school. Things were a lot smoother after that.

Just got a tax stamp back after 13 days (with a trust). Maybe the Dems/ATF want people like me to forget about the HPA.

For Steel Challenge, it needs to be a semi-auto with a detachable magazine.

News to me, but good to know.

A ban on 15-22s stinks and is probably based on some silly rationale. Ruger 10/22 would be the obvious alternative, and there is a big aftermarket for them. I’m seen some pretty souped-up 10/22s at Steel matches. 10-22s and 15-22s dominate Steel Challenge. Bergara makes a 10/22-ish clone that is worth looking at. The only other mag fed auto I would consider would be one of the Savages. A friend has one and it shoots well (I forget which model). Aftermarket and ability to mount dots, etc may be slim (not sure what division your kid will shoot). Not sure about mag capacity, either. You don’t really want less than 10 in the gun when the timer goes off. If money is no object, get a Volquartsen or a Kidd.

That's terrible. But hilarious

We have a neighbor who has a Christmas cactus lit up in their front window all year

Me too

I got what you said - cost is a benefit, but I also added about Glock magazine reliability vs 2011 mags - another possible benefit. This is well known in the competitive world. In fact, Glock is probably the only gun/mag that would run after dumping a handfull of dust down the mag tube. A 2011 (and a lot of others) would choke. From my experience (and lots of other 2011 shooters), 2011 magazines don’t like dust.

Glock mags are cheaper, but also are more reliable. Drop a 2011 mag on the dusty ground and you better take it apart and at least scrub inside for a few seconds with a mag brush. Most people won't drop their mags on the ground, but in the competitive world, where the Platypus will see plenty of action, it happens all the time.

I think you two should attend a Philadelphia Eagles game.

If it's like a lot of other Memphis elections, it will pass 70-30 with 3% of the population actually voting.

The model 45 is a 9mm, the 44 is a .22, the 22 is a .40, and the 40 is a 10mm. What’s the issue?

RIP Ginger - sounds like she was a good one. I’m afraid our Pomeranian is rounding third and may join Ginger soon.

I had Zeroed Ammunition in mind after reading the first post. A friend shoots a lot of their ammo in USPSA matches. They make good stuff. If I got sick of reloading, I would use their ammo.

Most of the folks currently OCing in public around here are a horrible representative of gunowners. Pretty much every OCer I see in the store has a scowl on their face, a $3 holster, and no idea that someone is standing two feet behind them. They almost have “I’m OCing just cause and you can kiss my ass” written on their forehead. I think my wife could disarm most of them.

No lecturing here, but be careful shooting steel that close. Be sure to wear eye protection.

For rifle cases, I use Dillon or Frankford spray lube on an RCBS pad. For pistol ammo on the 550 (with carbide dies), I spray inside the sizing die with Liquid Wrench dry lube every 100 or so rounds.

The Orange is a semi-custom shopish version of the Blue, which is now the standard Shadow 2, I believe. The Orange has a barrel bushing installed, the slide and frame are hand-fitted, and the trigger is allegedly better. The trigger does have the parts that provide a short reset, which is a modification that competitive shooters and their gunsmiths often do. I have an Orange and the slide to frame fit is excellent, but the trigger needs some work (I am a competitive shooter and gradually became a trigger snob). I don't shoot it much and need to sell it. The Orange is DA/SA and has a rear sight that is adjustable for elevation. The Shadow 2 dominates USPSA Production and Carry Optics divisions, which require a striker fired or a DA gun. It was made for Production division, and Carry Optics is based on Production. If CZ wanted to sell guns to USPSA shooters, they hit a grand slam with the Shadow 2.
