Oh, yes, 10, I think I read that in the book.

May be a silly question, but do the people running single stack have a chance to top off the mag to run +1?

 

[Hipower]

Sure. It's recommended that you have a spare mag with a few rounds to initially charge the chamber and then resupply your magazine well with your appropriately loaded ten round mag if that's the limit of your division's pistol. This is to make sure that you don't have mags with eleven rounds laying around and inadvertently load one of those during a match which could get you a Failure to Do Right penalty that would be very costly points wise during a match, especially if you are attending a sanctioned match where you've spent big bucks in entry fees, travel, motel fees, etc. Also, as a matter of course for you new guys: after you chamber a round before you re-holster, double check your chamber that the cartridge chambered. Two biggest noises: "Click" when it should be "Bang" and "Bang" when it should have been "Click."

Well, I can't promise to be graceful, but I'm sure it'll be fun.
It's got me looking for a doublestack 9. Single action 226 is looking good. Less reloads to fumble up.

Emphasis on single action! My D/A pull was really kicking my ass at the last match... I swapped out my standard trigger for an SRT and changed out the hammer spring for an #17 which lightened the pull quite a bit, under stress I was really yanking the hell out of that first shot. I still haven't decided if I am going to run the Sig again, or try one of my glocks on the next match. I was feeling pretty good with my 17 when Brant and I were practicing on Saturday so I might go ahead with that.


Really looking forward to this weekend!!!

I am going to snag one of the shot up IDPA targets at the match and use it to make a spray paint template so that I can practice on IDPA targets without having to buy those suckers.

The 9mm Springer seems like the perfect tool for the job, doing 10+1 in single action. Just not sure if I trust it just yet. May have to stick to 8+1 in the. 45 for this one. Even though, being a timed event with no power factor built into the scoring, just seems like the 45 would be a disadvantage. Oh well.

That was my thinking too, I need some more range time with the springfield before I give it a try though. I think that the 9MM 1911 puts you in a different class than the .45 1911's, but I don't fully understand how it all works just yet.

Jogan told me the puppy fart gun (9mm 1911) is in a different class then .45 1911.

What's the shirt from TGD say about 9mm?

Good point, we'll keep the 9 for practice though. Lol.

I didn't think u owned anything smaller then a .45 dan.

Yup. I even own a 22 and a 380.

 

[Hipower]

9mm Springfield 1911 would be classed in the Enhanced Stock Pistol division (ESP) whereas the .45ACP is classed in the Custom Defensive Pistol (CDP) class in the 1911, but you could also shoot .45 ACP in Stock Service Pistol (SSP) like a Sig 220 or Ruger P97. Check the rulebook for classifications of divisions. See the rule book starting at page 30 for further information http://members.idpa.com/Content/Rules/g0hunysc.eoc.pdf.

Great to know. Thank you, Sir, I'd rather shoot the 45 anyway. I'll go over the rules again before Saturday

Crazy talk

 

[TennJeep1618]

I shoot my 45 almost as well as my 9mm. That being said, I like the 9mm a lot better.

Well, if it makes you feel better. They're not really mine, the 380 is my wife's and the 22 is an old revolver that belonged to her grandfather.

Just found out I've got to work on Saturday. Depending on how that goes and what I'm able to get done around the house, I may not be able to make it on Sunday.

No kids. And it's not just me, it's everyone on the manufacturing side of the company that has to work.
