Oh, it'll happen, Blackfoot. And then when they find out it don't work worth a pile of steaming s***, They'll whine about no gunsmiths and no parts and why isn't someone doing something to make it work.

Slide lock malfunction or inoperative
Boggus Deal replied to Lone Dog's topic in Wild Bunch Rules Forum
In my experience, 3 gunners are usually very willing to help or loan a shooter a gun. IPSC, on the other hand, not so much. -
Slide lock malfunction or inoperative
Boggus Deal replied to Lone Dog's topic in Wild Bunch Rules Forum
I would consider it legal to use. However, not very efficient. Were I there and knew the situation, I would offer to loan the shooter a gun. That exact situation happened to me at WR 2015. Had replaced the plunger spring for the slide lock. In pre match testing, it worked great. Worked good first couple of stages. Then slide would not lock back on 50+% of the magazines. I had to make sure it was locked back when moving or staging it. Cost me a lot time locking it back and the mental frustration of it affected my match. -
Well, some folks are halffast......

I have not found the flags at all necessary. i know there are people who like them. I don't. That being said, I think I have a few.

Hey Norfleet! Got my little range at home setup since Sundance pushed up my berm.

If it isn't worn out, it will work just fine. Like Norfleet said, it will probably need about 8-10" less barrel....

In my experience, Trail Boss can be temperature sensitive. Running as light a load as possible in 38s, They run great in summer and a little erratic in colder weather. I upped my charge to compensate. Have not run TB in 45 Auto so can't comment there. I would suspect that a load heavy enough to reliably run the gun would not be that temp sensitive.

Model 12 Carriers: Lessons Learned
Boggus Deal replied to J. Frank Norfleet's topic in The Wild Bunch Wire
I have a 2 3/4' carrier with a flag if someone is in need of one. -
Do you know what issue it's in? I'll go a hunting!

Samuel, Wilson Combat also sells finished gold bead sights. I like the SDM ones better.

New Mexico State Wild Bunch Championship
Boggus Deal replied to J. Frank Norfleet's topic in The Wild Bunch Wire
Thank you, Norfleet. I think it was a great match overall. Lots of laughter and lots of good shooting! -
Yes, sir, it is.

GJ, Try a 230 at 100 fps less than the 200. Time your splits. I was a non believer until I proved it to myself.

I'm not sure I understand what bullet you are referring to. I use a 200 gr round nose flat point in my .45 Colt rifle loads. The 230 gr round nose in the pistol gives a very slightly less recoil and faster split times.

Slingshot 1911 Slide Releases Causing Blood Blisters
Boggus Deal replied to Church Key's topic in The Wild Bunch Wire
While certainly no expert but what have actually seen is the slide stop locking the sliode back at the wrong time. I have two theories as to why. One is the extra weight of it overcomes a lightened plunger spring while the gun is in recoil. Second, is that the shooter bumps it accidentally. As for extended thumb safeties, I see those get bumped off while the gun is holstered or being restaged while locked in shooting sports that allow it. -

Small Primer vs Large Primer Comparison

I'll probably quit shooting cowboy shortly. If that is the WIld Bunch match in Bend hosted by the Horse Ridge Pistoleros, that is a heck of a match. Little Italy, Sunrise Bill and Texas Jack Morales put on a great time! Just look out for Last Chance Morales! His gun has a broken sear! It absolutely cannot shot that fast!
-
Just have a copy of the handbook handy and even the RO Handbook. If there is an issue, just kindly point out the rules.

Not at the annuals I am involved with hosting. If the match is advertised as all WBAS rules apply, they apply. I would talk to the folks at the match you are referring to and let them know they are doing a disservice to the shooters. Those shooters are likely to show up at a match with illegal equipment and be called on it. Seen it happen before. I do my best to not let it happen.

Dirty Southpaw, At the local monthly matches around here, we don't normally check power factor. If you're a new shooter who shows up and has ammo that is questionable, I will tell you about the rules. If you show up next month with the same ammo, I might just chrono you. Haven't had to do that, yet. Same with base pads. If you show up with illegal magazines at your first match, I will let you know the rules. Let you shoot today! Absolutely!! I'll even offer to loan you mags! But next month, I'll ask that you be in compliance with the rules.

Kids, don't try this at home. 1911 "Slamfire" test
Boggus Deal replied to Boggus Deal's topic in The Wild Bunch Wire
Tully, Where you able to figure out the cause of either? I truly do not think a 1911 will slamfire with out some other issue. BD
