  1. Brace yourself for more rule changes 😉
  2. Thanks for the advice. I'll do some more research with this information. My local match consisted of 7 shooters counting me. 5 of us had never shot wild bunch before, 1 was using a sub-$400 RIA that should be Traditional legal. The last guy was good but I'm not sure what he was using. I think it was also a gun that was legal in Traditional, though he was shooting modern. He was going to shoot the WB match at EOT but he slipped on ice the week before and messed up his shoulder. He has surgery this week I believe and won't be able to shoot for several months now. Anyway all that to say that my local guys may not be a lot of help. Though I could ask since they will at least have some knowledge on the subject. I haven't seen the scores yet but listening to the times at the match I won't be surprised if I took 1st. This is the guy with the bad shoulder that isn't supposed to be shooting. https://youtu.be/xHvO2_2VtgY
  3. I shot a match in Modern a few days ago with my Sig 1911, but it's not legal with it's tritium/fiber optic sights. It's also a custom engraved one from my Iraq deployment so I don't particularly want to use and abuse it too much or bother with swapping out sights. I plan to stay Modern, I shoot "one handed" in CAS (Gunfighter). I'll stick to 2 handed for my semi-autos. The used gun was the same standard Ruger 1911. Sorry I missed a few words on that sentence. I read a few threads about 1911's on here but most are asking about the Traditional category and the one or 2 Modern ones I found seemed to be saying Ruger, though they didn't go into details. What are modern upgrades you'd suggest I look for? I read through the handbook but it mostly tells you what you can't have rather than what you can have. I'm not real familiar with 1911's and had to Google some terms like a dust cover. When I think of a dust cover I picture something that covers the ejection port and not the recoil spring/rod. Thanks for any help!
  4. My local Sportsmans has this Ruger 1911 in stock for $849. https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting-gear-gun-supplies/handguns/ruger-sr1911-standard-45-auto-acp-5in-low-glare-stainless-pistol-81-rounds/p/1275945 They also have a used for that was $600-$650 (I can't recall the exact price). They have trigger locks on them now so I didn't pull the trigger but I did run the slide and everything felt nice and smooth. I didn't notice any obvious issues with it. Any concern with picking this used one up for Wildbunch? Or should I potentially save myself the headache and just get the new one? If I do go with new, in WildBunch is there any incentive to spend the extra $100-$150 for the Target Model that has the adjustable rear sight?
