Shot mine for the first time last night. Was 10 degrees before the wind chill, so only shot around 50 rounds. Used Wilson Combat mags and not a problem.
Got to shoot a few rounds with the Kimber. Actually felt pretty good in my hand. Also shot the Para a few more times. Didn't get a chance to shoot as much as I would have liked, it was a whopping 10 degrees and windy:what:. It is supposed to warm up into the 40's next week, so hope to get some...
When I shot the HK and the Para side by side, I was a little disappointed in the para. My Buddy was shooting with me, he is active military and a small arms specialist-blah-blah-blah So I wanted him to shoot along with me to eliminate "my" shooting errors while trying to see just how accurate...
That is some stuff that I never even thought of! Thank you for the tips! I'm going to have to find some dummy rounds. I have seen "Snap" caps, are those the same? I will do a search for "dummy" rounds but if anyone has a link to some that are reliable and reasonable in price that would be great...
Went out and shot a couple hundred rounds with both the Para-14-45 and H&K V1. Pretty much am loving the HK and moving the Para down the list. Going to put a couple rounds down range with the Kimber beside the HK and see what pans out. Figure I will narrow it down to the "one" and shoot at least...
I have looked over some of the COF from some of the events. I hope this doesn't sound to naive, but it seems a little over whelming. Do you have someone there to point you in the right direction or tell you what you should be doing? I guess I may be jumping the gun with a lot of these questions...
Thank you for the advice. I have been considering doing this for a couple years now. Just haven't been able to make myself go "pull the trigger" so to speak.:o
I would like to think that I am a decent shot and put in as much ranch time as the average guy. But the hesitation is of course being...
I have finally decided to give IDPA a shot at a local club I belong to. So my question is what would be best suited as a beginner weapon? Here is what I have "on-hand".
1) Para 14-45
2) Kimber Custom II
3) H&K Full Size 45
If needed I would consider picking up another handgun to just use...
Name is "Bigchessie" Picked that up from my oldest hunting dog being a Chesapeake Bay Retriever weighing in at 130+ lbs.:eek: Love the outdoors and hunt anything and everything. Love to shoot and hope to try some IDPA stuff this summer. Recently retired Firefighter/Medic so spend as much time...
I have had this happen BUT the RO would just stand behind/beside me and observe. I can't imagine someone thinking they have the right to pick up someone else property without asking. Time for a FTF with a higher up and ask if this is the policy. If it is I would let them know you are going to...
20 years riding a Firetruck/Medic with a Federal Siren and the fancy new electronic Sirens on over 20 runs a day has taken it's toll. Of course they finally started making us wear protection recently. Doesn't help with all the years of hunting and shooting without protection. About 10 or so...
I am a waterfowler (Hence the screenname:D) My dogs are Chesapeake Bay Retrievers . I own both the original Baikal MP-153 and the Remmy Spartan 453. The Russian made weapon is the same, Remmy bought them and slapped the Sparten name on it. For the money you will not find a better all around...
Got my check back in March and still no mags. I wrote them an email back in June and was told that they would arrive in a few weeks. Still no mags:cuss: So wrote my contact person again last week. Was told that he was "misinformed" the last time we spoke and that they will ship them out in Mid Aug.
