Go Carl!
They'll be back.What did Tom and Stone think of the match?
They'll be back.
Nephew is moving to Charlotte in spring. I told him we'll have to find some matches close by for him. IDPA or USPSA. He shot like he has done this before, and he hasn't.
He ran Mike Jones old G17. Had never shot it before.He did real good for his first match.
That gun has magic powers.He ran Mike Jones old G17. Had never shot it before.
He was gonna shoot his Sig P226 with that 10 plus pound DA first pull. I said, “No no. Shoot dis one.”That gun has magic powers.
BUG match coming up Saturday.
I'm off work Friday night!
Yep. Just bring your eyes and ears. Shooting starts at 9AM till around lunch.Can spectators just show up and watch the action? I'm interested in doing some competitions one day, and I'd like to see what one is like.
Excellent! It's even close-ish to me.....guess I'll see some of you there!Yep. Just bring your eyes and ears. Shooting starts at 9AM till around lunch.
Bring your gun and gear, you'll regret not shooting the match.Excellent! It's even close-ish to me.....guess I'll see some of you there!
I'm not advanced enough to do a match yet. I'm very slow and "deliberate," as BatteryOaksBilly says. LoL. I think I need to watch and learn first....but my gun(s)/gear go everywhere I go! And you never know what I might do....Bring your gun and gear, you'll regret not shooting the match.
If it was me I'd bring either of the 1911s. Sig P238 is really not ideal for a regular match, but fine for a BUG match.I'm not advanced enough to do a match yet.

(What gun is best for this? 9mm 1911, .45 1911, Sig p238, revolver? I already have a IDPA member number....)
Thanks for the info. I'll have 2 additional magazines for the 9mm soon, but do not yet have a pouch for them. I seem to shoot the 9mm best of all my guns, and enjoy it the most.If it was me I'd bring either of the 1911s. Sig P238 is really not ideal for a regular match, but fine for a BUG match.
You'd want to bring a holster, sturdy belt, and ideally four mags for whichever 1911 you decide on, and 150 rounds of ammo.
10 round mags for 9mm or 8 round for 45, ideally.
oh, and a 2 mag magpouch for your belt
'bout time.Im planning in showing my face next Saturday at H2O. It's been way too long.
Might be there as well...if I can find G43x mags. I haven't had a 2nd Saturday off yet this year...definitely miss H20.
I can loan you a couple for the match. I scared up a couple of G43x/48 mags on Ebay last week.Might be there as well...if I can find G43x mags. I haven't had a 2nd Saturday off yet this year...definitely miss H20.
I doubt that...all I've been shooting is the Shadow 2, and you can't shoot that in IDPA. I'm kinda out of practice with the carry guns. But I'll race you for 3rd. That's Earnhardt's number...sacred ground in Harnett county.Now everybody's shooting for 2nd
Cool. I'll hit FG&G Monday or Tuesday, and if they don't have one I'll let you know.I can loan you a couple for the match. I scared up a couple of G43x/48 mags on Ebay last week.
I can loan you 9mm 1911 mags for the match if you decide to shoot. I also have an extra magpouch. Just let me know so I remember to bring them.Thanks for the info.

I'll probably just watch this time, and see what I can learn. Like I said, I'm very slow. Lol.
Thanks, my mags should be here tomorrow. I highly doubt I'll be shooting this time, though. You know how I like to do a lot of research before doing something.....but I'll let you know about pouches in case I get a wild hair or something, which I might!I can loan you 9mm 1911 mags for the match if you decide to shoot.
