Like it always has been….

Like blackening out three dot sights and tied down holsters…

Is your receiver tapped for a tang mount?

I’ve not DQd a shooter but I made them swap guns. Just like a very nice lady whose husband had given her a liteweight Kimber to shoot. She did not speak English and had no idea. Her husband was an a*^. If he had been shooting the gun, I would have DQd him.

I’ve worn a tied down holster since I started shooting Wild Bunch. And no one ever said a thing. But that was when common sense ruled.

Most people run 20-22”. Some like a little short. Some longer. It’s a matter of personal preference.

The most reliable and most competitive shotgun for Wild Bunch is the Winchester Model 12. Takes no parts to have it hold 6 rounds. Most are quite smooth and reliable as is. You don’t need 2-3 like with a 97. A myriad of 1911s available for Modern category and a number for Traditional. Wild Bunch is more a game of equipment reliability and quality ammo than cowboy. The .45 ACP ammo needs to be consistent and 100%.

Very nice gun! Would love to get my hands on one of those!

Just painted the dots.☺️

There, Cardboard! I fixed it for you. It’s legal now.

No, a gold bead is not, nor ever has been, legal for Traditional. And yes, Traditional sight requirements have been constant. At least since 2009. I don’t have the rules from that era handy but they’re pretty much exactly as they are written today.

Well, you’d be wrong, too. See my post above. And reread the rule book. It says military STYLE blade sights and it specifically mentions the Harrison Design and 10-8 rear sights.

In cowboy, Pale Wolf Brunelle likes to call it RO3. It’s called common sense. Never had to put it that way in Wild Bunch until recently. It’s been perfectly legal to blacken the three dots on Traditional pistols since at least 2009, when I started shooting Wild Bunch. It was that way when I became an Ambassador in 2012. It was that way when I was invited to join the Wild Bunch Rules Committee in 2017.

Not sure who told you that but they were wrong. It’s always been legal to blackout 3 dot sights.

They get pretty crudded up. The plunger gets kind of sticky. I would remove the safety button, plunger and spring and give them all a good cleaning.

On the way!

Thanks for the kind words.

Wilson frame and slide. Full length guide rod. All steel parts except trigger and stocks. 2 lbs 7.3 oz.

Also, the carbon fiber mag tubes are liners inside the steel tube. It’s not seen.

My modern gun started as a Wilson frame and slide. With all steel components and a full length guide rod, it’s well under the weight limit. I’ll weigh it later. I would check another scale. I’ve not weighed a Rock Island that heavy. Even guns with rails on it have been well underweight.

A Traditional Colt at 2lb 6 oz even.

I bet not. With empty magazine, 2 lbs 6.2 ounces.

Having weighed all the guns I’ve built and hundreds more at matches, I can tell you it’s hard to be more precise.

Even if someone has the exact model, it may or may not weigh the same. If you like the gun, get it! If it turns out to be too heavy, there are several non permanent ways to lighten that one. Just an FYI, that target rear sight can be fragile for WB. I’ve had to replace several broken ones for people.

Me? No. I never did. You make inflammatory claims about a guy’s gun then get butt hurt when you get called out on it. Do you need clarification? Every manufacturer today has some caveat in their manuals about reloads, even your pet Colt’s. Have for years. And likely, every one here already knows that. For you to come here and act like his Iver Johnson is inferior because so is unnecessary.
