Hogleg Hunter

Shot my first WB match last Friday. Had a blast. Haven't run a 1911 in a while. Didn't know how much I missed it.

Thanks for the answers. Match is in one week. I'm looking forward to it.

The rules state that extra magazines may be carried in a pocket. Is there a minimum number of pouches that are required before this is allowed? I am shooting my first wb match in 2 weeks. I have everthing together except I need to have some magazine pouches made. I have one canvas pouch that I can use but really need two more. Is it permissible for me to put the extra magazines in a vest pocket? JM Leather makes a pouch that I like. Anyone use these or have any other recommendations? Hogleg Hunter

Are there any clubs in central or northeast FL that have regular Wild Bunch matches?

Stop by a junk yard, pick up a chunk of heavy steel that you can cut down to ABOUT 40 ounces. Perhaps a heavy angle iron or even a short length of i-beam. Just using a bath scale, lop off pieces until you get between 2.5 and 4 pounds. The forest and the trees again. Sometimes the easy logical solutions elude me.

I have 2 big matches coming up. There should be a scale at at least one of them. The trick is determining if a scale is accurate. Certified weights can cost more than the scale to be calibrated. I was going to have the holster custom made for it anyway.

This is what had me worried. S&W website has gun at 41.5oz. -too close to depend on a cheap scale. Someone above said that weight was with a magazine which would bring it in under the weight limit.

I bought an e-series S&W sw1911ta with the accessory rail a while back. I would like to use it a backup pistol but the specs list it at 41.5 oz. I assume this is without a magazine? I haven't had access to a scale to weigh it yet. Does anyone use this pistol and if so what did you do to make the weight limit?
