I helped run stage 5 and had a shooter grumbling because I gave him a PE for shooting flat-footed without telling him to move first. After the shooter left, I told my scorekeeper, "I think that guy was serious." I gave numerous PEs yesterday.

9mm 1911.

+1 A kid who is unfamiliar with the gun, the holster, and the method of concealment. Put any Sharpshooter class and up IDPA shooter with his/her concealment rig and you get vastly different results.

He can give us both FTDRs, but we'll still beat him.

Bartlett is packed with them. They are always chasing 20 year old guys. Awesome pics, BTW.

Just trying to figure out if I need 9 round mags or 10 rounders.

Do tell.

Also a bit of a haul, but Hero-Gear in Winchester did carry STIs.

I have carried both a 19 and a 27 quite a bit. IMO, the 27 is easier to conceal. Yes, if you add a mag extension to the 27, it makes it the same length as the 19 ON THE FRONT OF THE GRIP ONLY. The back of the grip is shorter, and the back of the grip is what prints (if we are talking about IWB/hip holsters). Think of a 27 w/Pierce +1 mag extension as a bobtail 19. The link below has a pic of both that I posted some time back: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/handgun-carry-self-defense/34680-g26-vs-g19-concealed-carry-any-difference.html I don't know how big some of these guys are or how they dress, but I'm 5'10/190 and a G27 in my pants pocket would be an absolute no-go. YMMV.

STI Eagle .40

Although I feel that my handloaded rounds are every bit as reliable as factory, I still carry factory. I could articulate to anybody with common sense why it is harmless to carry handloaded rounds, but I fear that they may not be there on jury duty day.

No. Perry claims that the slur was on a rock on a piece of hunting property that his father leased in the 80s and that it was quickly removed as soon as they took control of it. I doubt Cain has any facts to dispute Perry's version. It was a cheap, unimpressive shot at Perry.

While I don't know much about this guy, his recent pulling out of the race card on Perry turns me off.

or just shoot the whole match before lunch.

TruGlo TFOs, may or may not fit the Pro 1911. Some of the Smiths have a goofball proprietary front dovetail. To the OP, unless your eyes are starting to go, I would ditch the FO and put a plain black front on it, unless you want tritium.

Sent mine yesterday. I am new to the CDP scene and am fully prepared to embarrass myself.

Congrats! I've heard the same eye-opener story many times, and experienced it myself. Be prepared to be lambasted by know-it-alls who will expalin that it is a silly game with paper targets that don't shoot back and doesn't represent reality. They are right, but they fail to see that this enforces what you learned--if you can't handle the artificial stress encountered in a match, how would a real fight turn out? These know-it-alls are often folks who tried IDPA and finished last. Instead of swallowing their pride and improving their skill set and mental game, they live in denial and believe they are fully prepared for a gunfight because they have taken tactical pistol ninja level 2, etc. Some even claim that shooting IDPA matches will get you killed. IDPA is only a game, but it's a great way to find out how you shoot under less than ideal conditions. Enjoy!

Pardoned due to doubt about the evidence? Restore his rights. Pardoned due to a political favor, etc? Nothing indicates that he is now not guilty, so no restoration of rights. I laugh when I read crap like, "if they are safe enough to let out of prison, they are safe enough to own a gun." I guess recidivism is just a myth. Most felons have used such hideously bad judgment to attain their felon status that I'll never trust them with guns (violent or non-violent). Part of their punishment is a loss of certain rights, not a temporary loss of certain rights. Sorry, I just don't feel sorry for criminals.

Dale's + Cavender's + Worcestershire =

1. What time? 2. How much $$?

I was at a Sandles resort in Jamaica putting on a tux right before my wedding, watching the towers tumble. Our honeymoon, needless to say, was spent watching CNN.

Bring your front sight and your IQ. I left both in the truck.

Stage 5.

Beware of the ADL. Most have a blind magazine, which means he will have to work the bolt and chamber/extract each round individually. Not the end of the world, but it gets old. Hard-core types argue that a blind magazine allows for a slightly more rigid stock, thus increasing accuracy, but this is splitting hairs. Rifles with bottom-ejection floorplates have a hinged door that allows all rounds to fall into the shooter's hand (except the one that's chambered). +1 to whoever said .30-06 is more widely available.

COF is posted for the 2011 TSR this weekend. See ya there! http://home.comcast.net/~tri-state-regional/2009COF/2011%20Tri%20State%20COF2.pdf
