Boggus Deal

Have no connection with or have used their products, but this looks pretty good. https://www.pbrammo.com/catalog/perfect-cowboy-ammunition%E2%84%A2/deputy-line/45-acp-wildbunch I use 230 grain and it has absolutely nothing to do with easier to make power factor. You can make power at a lower velocity with a softer recoil impulse. Faster followup shots and less movement off target. Learned that from J. F. Norfleet.

Link isn't working for me, Miss Nellie.

I empty my mags at the end of every shoot, not because I'm worried about the springs, though. I am more worried about dust and dirt getting in the mags. Every once in a while, I will actually pull the mags apart and clean them.

I only use Colt 7 round magazines. They work the best. Worked good enough to win Winter Range.

While Two Dot is correct, I can almost assure you, no one in the top 10 at Winter Range or EOT were shooting Rossi rifles.

El Mulo Vaquero, I, personally, deeply regret not making it up to shoot with you all, as the ambassador for this region. I will see if I can do that soon! Boggus

5 rounds, 7 rounds, costuming. it doesn't really matter. As Evil Roy said, people who make excuses to not shoot are going to make excuses no matter. Our problem is exposure. The reason we don't draw new shooters is no one knows we are here. I shoot a lot of other sports and as soon as I mention shooting CAS or Wild Bunch, the first question I get asked is "How does blanks bust those balloons?" They know nothing about CAS or Wild Bunch. All they have ever seen is Mounted Shooting. Whether is been on tv, in the gun magazines or wherever, they haven't seen our sports. Just Mounted. Shooting. I can't wait to get my hands on Dusty Boddam's article in WSJ. I would like to see if I could get several copies of the article just to spread around at stores, shoots and anywhere else I can.

Papa Grande, you'd be welcome at any match I have anything to with in that costume. WBT, you aren't talking about Robber Baron, are you?

The Browning Model 12 was also never offered in 12 ga. Just 20 ga and 28 ga.

I have to go find it!!

I use my method because it keeps my hands closer together and just a very, very little faster for the first shot. Not much but measurable.

There is probably a couple ways to do overhand. I use the front serrations on a couple of my guns with just my thumb and forefinger and find that works very well for me. It is sort of a combination of the slingshot and overhand.

Slingshot = Pinch the back of the slide with your thumb and forefinger, pull back and release. Overhand = Reach over the top of the slide with your hand and grasp it with more of your hand and fingers.

Wild Bodie Tom, call me this evening. 505-220-4922

When you can buy an AMERICAN made Auto Ordnance for not much more than a foreign made gun, why wouldn't you? Here is a link to one example below. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/411552959/ATO+1911A1+WWII+45+5+PKZ+WD+7 They even list some with a blemished finish for $403. I am sure function would be 100%.

I want to order a couple but have spent way too much money on guns already this year. Enough for the next three-four years.....

http://www.e-sarcoinc.com/colt1911a11930original-bestgrade.aspx These are amazing deals on 1930's Colts. I believe Goatneck has mentioned these a couple times.

Blackey, The items are coming. I have production models for Modern category guns but Traditional ones are taking longer due to limited demand. The ones I have been using are very promising but requires more than just dropping them in. Springs, smoothing, etc all need to be done.

Thanks, Nellie Blue! You are the best!

There are a lot of shootable rifles but the National championships and the World championships were both won by '73 clones.

Allie, After my posts earlier, I have actually had a minute to go look. On page 8 of the most recent, published manual, it says: Safe to leave the shooter's hand- Slide locked open, empty magazine or no magazine. I had not seen that before, hence my asking.

However, Allie Mo, darlin'. If I lay the gun down with the slide closed, is that "safely" restaged??? IF it were to happen to me right now, I'm dumping the mag and locking slide back.............

I completely understand the absolutely no reholstering. Leaves the holster. No going back. Until cleared. My question is this. I accidentally draw. Can I leave a full magazine in with slide down and stage gun until I need it? Hasn't been charged. Or must I lock the slide back and stage it until I need it?

You cannot just wave the guns at targets and expect to do well in WB. HAH! Ain't that the truth!! Seriously, thank you for stating the info about costuming. I have heard from quite a few that the biggest reason they don't shoot Wild Bunch is the costuming. I've tried my best to make sure they know what is and isn't required. see you in a few days! Boggus
