I posed the question in our WBAS RO area. I hope it is viewed favorably.

Boggus, why didn't you think of that? you would be rolling in the dough from the royalties.

Looks like an idea long overdue. Since it is not specifically allowed, let's get an official ruling and see if it can be legal.

Perhaps I'll post on the Cowboy wire too, but there was a big discussion abut shadow shooting as you may have seen Dry firing is not permitted already. I would propose that any Shadow Shooting with loaded firearms would be considered unsafe gun handling, and would be penalized. I would propose that Shadow shooting at the loading table with an unloaded firearm would not be allowed, as there is really not room for such activities. Inspection of the firearms, loaded or unloaded would be allowed, of course. I would further propose that shadow shooting prior to the start of a stage, after the firearms have been staged, other than a brief walk through by the shooter, would not be allowed, and repeated episodes might be considered Spirit of the Game, since it delays all of the shooters behind, and even the upcoming posses especially in a big match, where time is critical. What duo you think of these ideas?

Boggus, have you seen one?

I see that it is dovetailed into a piece of metal, but what is the "line" lot the rear of the front sight?

It may depend on how much weight it adds to the overall 1911. Looks like it might be acceptable for Modern.

are you getting a good response? Should be a fun shoot.

Is the slide and barrel ported? Doesn't seem to be a one piece slide, as the front sight is separate from the rear of the slide. Interesting though

I stand corrected. I was thinking of the featherweight, I guess

Why would you want to use a Winchester 25? The magazine capacity is limited. 97"s and 12's are available, as far as slide-action shotguns are concerned..

Jodi, When I try the link, it indicates that the domain has expired. Is there another way to get to the site? If you would, email a copy of the entry. Don Jorge

Why are there Wild Bunch related postings on the regular SASS Cowboy Wire, when they may be better served here, on the Wild Bunch Wire? Is this area too difficult to get to? Should the two wires just be combined in some way, so one would not have to navigate to two different forums (requiring two different log-on systems)? Just curious.

Let's just cut to the chase and petition to have clarification of the front and rear sights allowable to a "Traditional" 1911, and indicate that any "colored dot" may be blacked out and be legal. This could be proposed at the Land Run Wild Bunch TG meeting.

Well, I have been wrong before. I will say that the two rear sights listed are rather specific sights, and would be different than a more modern combat rear sight perhaps. Nothing so specific is noted for the front sight for the Traditional 1911. I don't think a post with a gold dot would be allowed, for example. I agree that simply blacking out white dots is not a big deal, and the sights may not enhance the shooter's ability. Still, certain sight requirements have been constant, for traditional at least.
