Since I can't pin this at the top comments are now allowed.  I just didn't want to rehash what has been hashed.  The scuttle-butt from WR was that the only shooters pushing for 7 rounds in the mag were new shooters who hadn't shot WBAS much.  Judging from the voting I bet that is not true.

I know it is a dead horse, but the subject came up again at WR.  So, I began wondering how a poll would come out.  I am not interested in comments, this subject has been cussed and discussed completely on here on the WBAS wire.  Search out those threads and post your comments there.

Sutter called the stage " machos banditos"  the last scene of the Wild Bunch....

 

As it was a club match we played by Sutter lawman's rules.

 

Rule 1.

popper must be shot with shotgun all other targets shooter may use  whatever gun shooter feels like useing  

 

Rule 2.

you may load 7 in your mag

 

Rule 3.

you may lode more then 10 in you rifle  but anything after 10 must be loaded on the clock

 

Rule 3.

you cannot carry to much ammo in a gunfight

 

Rule 4. It's just a game play safe and have fun.....and we did!

 

 

 

Good stage and good rules, especially 7 in a magazine!

The method I use to teach women to rack a slide is the same as GJ has said.  Most people try to rack the slide away from the body.  The farther out you hold the pistol the less strength you have.  So for a right handed shooter I have her brace the support arm across the body.  When the pistol is drawn this will bring it up into the support hand.  Grasp the slide by placing all four fingers on the serrations on the right side of the slide and the heel of the hand on serrations on the left side.  Holding the support arm against the body with the right hand push the pistol out of the left hand.  It will be cocked!

 

Most people try to move the slide rearward with the support hand.  This method allows the support hand to have one function holding on to the slide.  The action is the same as the one handed cock where you hook the rear sight on a fixed object (table, counter, holster etc) and push the pistol forward until it is cocked.

 

It also stops the bad habit of riding the slide down. 

Have you been talking to Silver Sam again?

Uno Mas,

I haven't been reading this post and I wish I had seen yours sooner.  Bought a bunch of Brownells mags.  They are having production problems.  Read the reviews on the Brownells website.  The Mags are about 10/1000ths  too thick and if your trigger stirrup (or bow) is small they hang up.  Brownells makes good products, I am sure they will work this out.  But I sent half of them back and the rest became drop in the dirt practice mags.  They don't always drop out of the mag well.  I don't trust them for a match.

The harder the lead mix the less leading.  It is no problem.
