Last weekend I took my bone stock Kimber Stainless II in 45acp to shoot some pins.
A little friendly competition our club puts on on various weekends. There are sessions for Major, and for minor. Basically the placement on the table for the caliber used.
So I got trounced on by a guy shooting a Smith 1911 in 9mm. He's a good shot. And the guy that beat him, Shooting a Glock in .40 smith.
They've done this before! The open class saw pistols in some form of 1911 or the other. 38 super, .40, and .45acp. With some pretty damn good veterans at this game.
OK I got beat by a 9mm ... Er' uh, a pretty good shooter, but it took three tries to make me step aside. Both of us had some unfortunate pin's dancing the Mamba and spinning on the table. Both of us had to reload, the rest of the competitors and spectators chanting "Who want's it more", as we reloaded. We both hit our last pins, and well, his was just closer to the edge. I got beat fair and square. But Damn That Was Fun!
Heads up quick accurate shooting against each other.
I'll have to check the schedule and see when I can make the next shoot, since in the first timed session, where we shot against the clock to determin the placement brackets for the rest of the day, I, With a stock pistol, set the fastest time clearing a table.
4.64 seconds clearning five bowling pins from the front of the table. None of the veterans with heavily modified pistols did that that day. If I can do it once, I can do it again. (I've looked at the history for our club and this match. There's one guy that's repeated less than four seconds several times. I don't know where that ranks with the national competitions, but that's damn fast in my book)
Oh, and did I say that I'm doing this with my own lead pours. Just a Lyman 230gn hp.
