  1. Winter Range rifle targets were too few and too close. Sight in for 15 yards and you’ll be fine anywhere.
  2. That’s no bigger, if as big, than a Gold Cup. Without seeing one up close to see something more, I’d say that would be legal.
  3. Cowboy Carty, Slick McClade.
  4. I prefer thin. My fingers are short and fat.
  5. Grouchy, do you have pics of one? I have not seen one on DW’s website.
  6. Blaze, I’d like that very much!
  7. Blaze, according to my gauge, that is right at 1.5”. Maybe a touch more. I’d really need to break out my 1911 drawings and see what the print says.
  8. There is a gauge to test them. I really don’t worry about round count. Just replace them when I feel like it.
  9. I’ll send you one to try.
  10. Listen to Happy Jack.
  11. It’s not legal but that’s a heck of a price on one if it’s in good shape.
  12. If the sights have white dots, you can paint them. I know several people who shoot 1991A1s.
  13. It’s two main purposes is to keep tension in the mag tube to keep it from rattling and to keep it turned tightly into the receiver extension.
  14. I recommend 16# recoil and mainsprings. Their is more to recoil spring weight that determines how far they come out of the gun. Extractor shape and tension. Ejector shape and length. Besides, as long as they clear the gun, does it matter if it’s an inch or twenty yards?
  15. Just remember, Marshall Flint, while so far the information posted here has been correct, for the most part they’re just opinions. The rule book is the final answer.
  16. Your pistol is is legal in Modern with that grip safety but with a switch to a Traditional style grip safety and blackening the sights, it should be legal in Traditional as well. Your Rossi in .45 Colt should be legal as long as the rest of the rifle requirements are met. The shooter’s handbook gives all the rules in one place and is quite clear.
  17. Yikes! Glad no one was hurt. Like to have that for demo purposes!
  18. PM sent.
  19. Very simple, Garrison Joe. The Wild Bunch Rules Committee has said so. If a stage calls for 4 shotgun rounds, you load 6, jack a live one out and shoot the next round loaded, it’s illegally acquired ammo. People would only ever want to load eight in a magazine because others keep perniciously, ignorantly or arrogantly telling them it’s perfectly fine to do so. Now, GJ, the question has been asked and answered.
  20. Perfectly fine! The only difficulty with that is to predict is when you are going to have a FTF. ;D Let's say you have a failure one time every 10 mags. Nine times you will have to clear a live round from chamber somehow, maybe costing you 2 seconds. One time it saves you a second because you don't have to load a "Barney" magazine with one round. Now you have cost yourself 17 seconds by loading every mag with 8. Your time is MUCH better spent making your gun and ammo perform perfectly with no failures. The value of that is PRICELESS! Good luck, GJ That would be perfectly fine to earn you a miss and a “P”. That eighth round would be illegally acquired ammo.
  21. We are continually struggling to make the handbooks easier to understand and more precise!
  22. Like with the rifle and shotgun, there is no penalty for overloading magazines. The penalties come with the use of the extra ammo or by leaving the ammo in the gun.
