The Wild Bunch Wire

Stage calls for 7 rifle rounds. Shooter loads 10. Shoots first 7 correctly, then final three rounds on a target. I know had he just jacked them out, no call. But given that he shot them, WTC? At the match we no-called it. Told shooter to pay more attention to loading orders/ammo count. I suppose it could have been a P for improper target engagement. What say you?

Howdy Y'all The Texican Rangers are proud to announce that they have been selected to host this years Texas State Wild Bunch Championship. Please put the date down in your calendars. September 3-5 We will have BAMM and several exciting new side matches. Yes the ever favorite BLAZING SADDLES will be a featured side match. Can't wait to see you there.

Merry Christmas to all!

While cleaning my 1911 this morning I noticed the firing pin is magnetized. Normal? Problem? Cause?

Hi, the CMP will open a second round for those that did not participate previously. I received a 1911 made in 1918 and am very happy with it, regards, Mike https://thecmp.org/cmp-set-to-open-second-round-of-1911-pistol-orders-in-early-2021/ here's the one I got

Dusty Boddams alerted me to this podcast by Michael Bane who talks Wild Bunch after a visit to the Texas State WB match last weekend: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/michaelbane-tv-on-the-radio/id1492840692

Does anyone have experience with the Colt Competition 1911 .45? Does the dual recoil spring system keep it from being used in Wild Bunch?

Howdy, Are there any local clubs around Philadelphia PA. shooting WB matches? Nawlins

Howdy everyone! I am swiss CAS shooter and our club intends to start a bit with Wild Bunch shooting for fun :) For beeing able shooting traditional style, I bought the 1911A1 from Auto Ordnance which has a series 80s style firing pin block. It's my first 1911. The gun is NEW. After buying I disassembled, cleaned and oiled it. Then I shot a box of 50 rounds, and cleaned and oiled it again. Unfortunately, after the next 40 rounds the front sight came off, but that's not why I am posting. At home, I tried to disassemble it, removing recoil spring and cap, and slide release bolt as usual. But then, I was unable to move the slide forward to take it off. I racked it a…

Has anyone tried this looking for something to help my wife work the slide easier. ST

Got my SASS membership renewal today. Says that it includes the online Cowboy Chronicle. Is there no more printed Chronicle?

Is it legal to put a shotgun bead front sight on a 1911?

Howdy Gang; Why is there not more shooters using the Smith Wesson 1911 platform for Wild Bunch shooting? I have found mine very good with great trigger and the sort of 80 series block safety to be a non issue. The extractor work easily and good to clean.

Texas Doughboys are shooting Wild Bunch tomorrow Saturday October 17 in Bowie,Tx. Come on out and get ready for the Texas State Wild Bunch Match! We start at 9am. Break for lunch and shoot a BAMM.

Sure is QUITE over here. Largo

What are you using for short range (say, 20-30 yards) BAMM targets? My club's range equipment guy isn't too sure about letting me use the club steel targets and i am not keen on going downrange to patch cardboard targets after each shooter. Ideally, i want something that can swing enough to spot a hit. Putting the targets further away is not an option on this particular range. Thanks for your input! Four Fingers Fred

New guy to WB here. I have a Colt Classic, a 73 and a model 12. How many mags will I need for a match? Need leather. How many mag pouches on my belt and how many shotgun shells. Do I need any extra rifle or pistol rounds on my belt? I have a shotgun belt for CAS but for this rig would rather use sliders. What do I need?

This match will be held on October 18. Eight stages, one day event. More info is in the Wild Bunch Match portion of the Forum.

Just caught myself thinking. What trigger pull weight do you like on your Wild Bunch pistol? Blackfoot :-*

G'Day cowboys/cowgirls, has anyone out there in Wild Bunch cowboy land have had any success using the Perdersoli lighting in.45 LC ?? thanks, ODESSA

I'm looking for some additional mags for a Colt Hammerless M1908 (.380). It seems they are pretty rare, but I did find the Triple K mags. Just wondering if anyone has had success with these mags. There is a guy selling original mags on GB for $300 each, but that seems a teeny bit steep. Here are the Triple Ks on Brownells: https://www.brownells.com/magazines/handgun-magazines/magazines/colt-pocket-7rd-380acp-magazine-prod71616.aspx?avs%7cManufacturer_1=TRIPLE-K Thanks for any info.

What is a fair price for a Model 12? I'm looking at a well used hunting shot gun.
