Shot my first 3-gun match yesterday and had a ball. I figured I would stink up the shotgun stages, and I proved myself right. I used a Mossberg 590 w/ a bead, a slick-top Smith M4 w/ a Leupold CQT, and a 9mm STI Trojan. I held my own with the Smith and the STI, but struggled with the shotgun. I haven't had it long, and I found out that I either need to change how I shoulder it or get a taller bead--it shoots high. I'm tempted to look for a taller bead, because I was consistently high w/ slugs and birdshot. I also need to practice shotgun reloads (who doesn't?). Also, I realized that I need every option possible in my range bag for storing shotgun shells. I have a side saddle and a Cal Comp Works 4-round holder on my belt, but need more options. What do you guys use for shell storage?

best ATV ever made.

See you this weekend...I'll be running stage 10.

I have observed 9mms numerous times.

In the world of defensive handguns, Glocks and 1911s are two of the easiest platforms to shoot quickly and accurately. They also have the widest availability of accessories and parts. Thus, you will probably hear mention of both quite frequently.

I knew no such. I don't read minds, but I also don't jump to conclusions at the mention of a vest.

Unless you have hands like an NFL offensive lineman, I would look at the 21 SF instead of the 21. It has a trimmed-down grip that fits us non-NFL types better. The last thing you want is to have to reach for the trigger.

We may be twins...

Bring your own gun to what? Is this a training class? If so, I would want to get that training with the gun I'm going to use, not one I'll probably never shoot again.

That kid will be absolutely cutting heads in five years (probably less). Congrats.

Copy that.

+1 I got to Sharpshooter w/ a G23, then switched to a G19. Don't know what type of 9 you have (if any), but like gsb said, it's the shooter, not the gun.

No you wouldn't, because I'd have an untucked polo the rest of the year. Mike never mentioned a season.

Baloney. I wear a fleece vest throughout much of the fall/winter/spring, and I blend in with probably 50% of other males. Fleece vests are popular and I bet you wouldn't think "where is his camera" if you saw me in a store.

I've always had great luck with Remington UMC. IMO, they are higher quality than WWB. I've never gotten collapsed cases or failures-to-go-bang like I have occasionally experienced with WWB. The 9mm 115 FMJs have always been about 50 fps slower then WWB, which is not always a bad thing.

Kimber Compact CDP II, and no it was not an external extractor gun. Worst thing I've ever done with $1000 in my life. Taurus PT-92 was a close second, but only cost 1/3 the price of the Kimber.

I'll go out on a limb here and speculate that you like the gun.

Halfpint has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space.

Because it's harder to retrieve stolen merchandise at an address where someone lives.

If it has your landlord's name on it, then call him and tell him he's got something. Otherwise, call the shipping company. The UPS driver cannot help it that someone shipped it to the wrong address.

Don't call the police, and don't open the package. Call UPS or FedEx or whoever delivered it and tell them that no such person lives at this address and they need to come get it. Drugs being in the package is not as far-fetched as you may think.

I feel 83...

LOL, forget her posts, I need to send you the PMs between PackinMama and me. I had issues with mine, but Springfield straightened it out. She is in the process of doing the same. BTW, Armsfair had a used one last week for ~$800. Serious threadjack!

They don't shoot Sunday nights any more.
