Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Been getting more range time with my 1917 since the gunsmith fixed the push off and trigger for me. Starting to get the feel of the point of aim now. The range was only 25 feet but as I get better, the range will get moved back.

I think this is the result of a pointy stick. 25 feet is indeed mocking range. Three times that distance is needed to avoid mocking. I'm keeping my promise to mock you at any range less than 25 yards. Bayonet practice is exempted in this case.

I do foreseen major blunt force trauma to your wrist from 45acp recoil. Do post pictures of any blisters or bruises. 45acp revolvers are not to be taken lightly after shooting your monster only a few rounds.

Hope to do some shooting this Sunday, especially some 1911 shooting. Perhaps the high power will shoot straight too????

Best Regards,

Mark

BTW, Elvis will be getting a work out as well.
