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?

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

So, you make your self your own darn check weight!  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.

Hi Hogleg,

 

If you plan on shooting Modern with the pistol. The following applies.

"Unloaded pistol weight may not exceed 42 ounces with an empty magazine inserted."

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?
