Re: 32 ACP - "Flash in the Pan"?

I'm still using mine. It's a SWLWC frame with an ACP top end. I bought it that way, used, from the original owner.

It's biggest problem is the magazine falling out in the middle of a string (seriously!).

I need to get a new Rink grip for it, then I'll be using it again.

Re: Anyone still using CO2 match pistols

I have a Walther CP2 that's about 40 years old now. I haven't shot in a competition in at least 20 years. I am planning to shoot it in a match at the end of the month. There are no dates on any of the cylinders. Seems to me they'll never expire. So what is the "scientific" basis for compre...

Re: How to develop steadier hold for Bullseye?

NPA with a pistol is pretty simple. Stand at a 45 degree angle to the target. Hold up your arm to the target(no gun needed). Close your eyes, and wave your arm left and right a few times. Then point your arm at where you think the target should be. Now open your eyes. If you are not pointing at the ...

Re: Why we still shoot the 45?

So the OP doesn't want to buy a 45, and he wants the NRA to change the rules to accommodate him, personally? I don't think so. We can all think of ways to change the rules to benefit ourselves. Either so we score higher, or just change it to make it what we think "it ought to be". Play the...

Re: Would would it take to make 1911 competitive

Since you live in OC, come down to Escondido on the second Sunday of the month. We have NRA & CMP sanctioned matches with a good turnout. You can see a lot of different guns here.

Re: Rating Collegiate Ranges

I always thought the Naval Academy had the best pistol range. It was in the basement of their dormitory (Bancroft Hall). They didn't even have to go outside to go practice.

Re: EIC Pistol Options

To get back to the OP's original question,

Are you in Southern Cal? If so, you're welcome to try my accurized Beretta 92. I've gotten 22 points with it so far.

Re: Bullseye near San Clemente

The pistol matches at Santa Margarita are few and far between, especially after their pistol match director was transferred out of the area.

I run a match in Escondido, which would be the next closest sanctioned match to San Clemente.

I am a match director in Southern California. The match director CAN compete in an approved match. The only person who can't compete is the "tournament supervisor". Put down the name of somebody in the club who's never going to have anything to do with the match. Try running a few non-sanc...
