THE CZickness LI.....Shooting for a Summer to Remember

[bcannon]

Too bad it's so cloudy tonight as the moon looks awesome.

Got to see it around 3am. It was definitely big and bright.

I need a PCR. I need a PCR.

FIFY

 

[88E30M50]

No experience with the P-01 but I choose the PCR as I do not carry with a WML and thought it would add just a small amount of extra bulk. @88E30M50 and @wtburnette I believe carry P-01s. Love my PCR!

I carry a PCR, actually.

I had to open my big yapper.

You know how it is, all your INGO friends are here to help any way possible.

Morning ... Last day of Summer

Yes. We are all really good at spending our own money and others money as well. And we enjoy it. Truly CZickos.

Hope MM got a chance to get a few pictures.

Sorry ... too cloudy when I checked.

I hope @Benp and @gmcttr get to the range today. We need range reports....

I'd like to shoot that WC, for research purposes.

After shooting my Tisas .45 commander, the Tisas 9mm felt like I was shooting a .22. It always catches me off guard on that first shot, because you're expecting something snappy. Everyone should own a 1911 in 9mm.

To that statement, I've kind of been wondering if I were to get a middle of the road 1911 (not even sure I'd want one since I fairly recently picked up an SA-35), and maybe have a little work done on it, what should I look to do?

• Gun size? I think in one sense, I'd like a commander sized gun (though it's not something I'd carry, so maybe not). I've got a SA-35, so not sure if I'd want another "full size" 9mm that I would never carry.
• Caliber? I'm all 9mm for centerfire pistol today, so staying 9mm would be nice, but wondering if I'd stay with 9mm for a 1911, or if 10mm would be interesting. But, I've never shot a 10mm, and I got out of .40 because I did not like it in the compact/sub compact sized guns at all, which goes back to the gun size question.

Just my brain working over that question a bit.

Morning all
My C&H plate arrives today so tomorrow I will have the Prodigy in it's final form.

About 0545 this morning.
Been a year today since The Mouse left us.

Generally speaking, I have always gravitated towards "commander" size guns, full size grip with a compact size slide. Doesn't matter if it's for carry or range only, just the configuration I tend to like. That being said, for whatever reason, there's an exception to that rule, because a 5" Govt 1911 does not bother me.

If you can, I would pair up with someone and shoot a 1911 in .45, 9mm, and 10mm. Then make a decision on which you like. 9mm in a 1911 is just giggle stupid fun.

I miss the old man. I understand him more now than I did while he was still here, weird how that works.

Agreed, definitely need to shoot one, especially in 10mm. Been years, but I've shot both 9mm and 45 in a 1911, but not commander sized.

Commander size is definitely where I gravitate to as well.

45 is just a slow push as a I recall (have had a couple of not to be named pistols in 45 in the past), and 9mm is what I'm generally used to. Just not sure how snappy 10mm would be in a Commander sized gun, and if it's worth the extra caliber and expense for a complete one off.

Decision is really probably between 9mm and 10mm, in a commander sized gun. I've been there and done that with 45 and don't see going that direction. 9mm (same caliber as most everything I have today) in another one off gun, or really one off and go 10mm. Just not sure if the 10mm would be abusive enough that I wouldn't be interested in shooting it much.

9mm in the SA-35 is definitely happy time today, in that big gun form factor. My daughter was loving the SA-35 when she was beating up the dueling tree and some other steel at Proteq recently.

Probably all over the state.

Probably all over the state.

I went out about midnight or a little before and it had cleared.
Was beautiful and very bright, almost glowed. It was low but could still see it at 6:15 when I started my wife’s car, still very bright.

And I should add, I guess most of the 4" & 4.25" guns from the OEMs are aluminum frame so that's something to consider as well, though of course, I could have Allen cut a gov't model sized gun down to 4.25" as I've seen some of his work doing that and it looks great.
