After all, we're giving away SIX of them!
Just show up at the Desert Midwinter and take a "shot" at winning one.
BTW They're the Springfield Armory Range Officer model.

SA RO is no longer legally transferrable in CA, so why bother? :)

Where do you get sponsorship to buy those? I doubt the total revenue from the tournament comes close to the figure needed for 6 guns.

Why don't you come and see?
And even if you let someone tell you you can't have it, it will still be yours. This is Arizona; we don't give a shit what California thinks.

Damn, I love it when Rover tells it like it is. I wish that there was still a mid-Winter on the East Coast.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.
BTW I attended the Midwinter in Florida way back when. Thanks Henry Huerta!

A coach and mentor of mine, Elizabeth Gathright, used to attend the Desert Midwinter. Her husband, Tom, often shot the Florida midwinter matches.

Wish I could come back out there to sunny Arizona for the mid winter match.
Won two of those .45's while living out there(they were milspecs at the time).
Still have one as a dedicated lower to my Marvel .22
The other was built by Dave Salyer and made Master with it and sold it to another shooter that made Master with it.
Good karma :)
Go get them.

BTW:This week, the Arizona State Legislature has scheduled hearings for several important pro-gun bills. Bills scheduled for hearings include:
Senate Bill 1266, sponsored by state Senator Steve Smith (R-11), would improve the state firearms preemption law to ensure consistency throughout the Grand Canyon State. This would be done by providing a mechanism to declare unlawful regulations null and void in addition to providing penalties for knowing and willful violations by localities. SB 1266 is a much-needed protection that will help law-abiding gun owners ensure they are in compliance with the law. SB 1266 is scheduled for two hearings on Wednesday, February 3. The first hearing is at 9:00am in the Senate Public Safety, Military and Technology Committee and the second at 2:00pm in the Senate Government Committee.
Senate Bill 1257, sponsored by state Senator John Kavanagh (R-23), makes changes to existing law and expands the list of places where law-abiding gun owners can exercise their fundamental right to self-defense to include some additional public areas where certain security measures are not in place. SB 1257 is scheduled for a hearing in the Senate Government Committee at 2:00pm on February 3.
House Bill 2446, sponsored by state Representative David Livingston (R-22), makes necessary revisions to Arizona’s current definition of a “prohibited weapon” to exclude all firearms or devices that are legally possessed in compliance with the National Firearms Act (NFA). The technical correction made by HB 2446 changes the registration of NFA items from the Treasury Department to the appropriate Federal Agency in order to be compliant with current federal law. HB 2446 is scheduled for a hearing in the House Judiciary Committee at 9:00am on Wednesday, February 3.
House Bill 2494, sponsored by state Representative Steve Montenegro (R-13), would offer a tax credit for the costs incurred during the taxable year for training courses taken by the taxpayer, a spouse or a dependent, in order to apply and qualify for a permit to carry a concealed weapon in Arizona. HB 2494 was scheduled for a hearing in the House Ways and Means Committee yesterday, and is now being held in committee for further consideration.
Please use the Request to Speak application (RTS) on the Arizona State Legislature website to urge committee members to SUPPORT SB 1266, SB 1257, HB 2446 and HB 2494! RTS is the most efficient and effective way to contact committee members with your support of important pro-gun legislation. It is imperative that you create an account and utilize this tool throughout the 2016 legislative session.
And...are you guys really so "whipped" that you can't come to the biggest and best match West of the Mississippi? We'd really be glad to see you! Maybe Conradin will come and guide a tour down to the Mexican border to snipe at some of Obama's "sons."
