Can you hear the sound of me wincing from there? Imagine you break a barrel link doing it and your WWII 45 is no longer 100%. Ouch.

Thats true, but I won't have a gun that I am not willing to shoot, so it does get used. I could use my Delta Elite, but it isn't a 1911 .45. Not full stock, but very close, I only added a full length guide rod.

Nobody shoots 100% WWII 45s, so it isn't an issue. If it is a WWII 45, either it ain't 100% or it is a safe queen and won't be shot.
 
It is 100% original and I do shoot it. Not as much as my other guns, but it does get shot. As I have already said, I won't own a gun I am not willing to shoot. It's not always one or the other. Maybe I am strange, but I am not lying and it sure isn't a safe queen!

Here have a look at it:

Also I have stated, I got it from a guy who carried that pistol in WWII. He was stationed in a place where he seen no action. The pistol was hardly ever used.

You may be right, but my understanding of a gun being 100% was that it was factory fresh with no wear and tear.

Then there is also a finish rating that many folks use. The finish may be 100% even if the gun is not.
 
i think when someone says "100% original" they are saying they haven't replaced any parts. I don't think it implies anything at all about the condition of those parts. If you just say a gun is "100%" then that means it's factory fresh with no wear and tear.
 
That is a fine looking Colt, but I seriously doubt it has seen the inside of a holster. It is in too good a shape.
 
Yep, I didn't say the finish was 100%, I said it was all original sorry if I didn't get that clear to begin with! :) . Thanks, it is a great looking colt. The Frame has no to extremely little wear, but the barrel does have some of the finish knocked off from shooting it, but that is all. Excellent shape really. No it hasn't seen much life in a holster either. Anyways, you are probably right in not putting it through a torture test, but I won't stop shooting it every now and then! Maybe I would use my Delta Elite for the 1911 platform.

I could afford to do this match only if I barrow a friends Kimber with a .22 conversion. Are .22 conversions allowed?
 
Please tell me he's banned for breaking the multiple user names rule as well as trolling ever since he joined THR.

As a general rule, we don't discuss the banning of members from THR. I can say though that having multiple accounts and using them simultaneously is absolutely the type of conduct violation that will get you banned without further comment or warning - as will reregistering after a previous name has been banned.
 
I would like to participate in this match on the 1911 side. I have been interested in shooting one of these since I learned about the matches at TDSA.

It would hardly be stock, but being stock isn't required. You actually think the conversion will work very well. We have one that is okay, but not great by any stretch.

Also, the original spirit of the match was comparing combat pistols, but we could do .22 conversions as well. You don't get to complain about being tired if you shoot a .22, however.
 
OH COME ON!!!!

Bitching about being tired and shooting poorly because of it, is half the fun of the match.
 
Double Naught,

Thanks for a great thread and, apparently a fun match.

Will you post notice before the next match will be held? I doubt that I'll be able to shoot by that time, but maybe I can make myself useful on the range.

Thanks,

salty.
 
It has been a great thread. It is the most posted Competition thread so far at THR and in the top 10 for views of a Competition thread. Now if we can just have that much actual interest at the match...

I bet if you advertised free beer AFTER The match, I am sure that it would have alot of interest! :)
 
The local town is Forestburg. They have a newly opened Weinhauf, but I don't think free is in the making.

Right now there have been 13 folks who have emailed me with interest, most from Texas, but one from Alabama, one from Arizona, one from Nevada, and 2 from Oklahoma, with a possible Michigan. If I offered free beer, I bet I could get folks from Alaska.;)
 
I'll email an application if the roster doesn't fill up - I couldn't hang with the IDPA types but I can fill a spare lane.

I've got a semi I've been curious about when it'll gag - might as well have fun finding out. Better still, it's a polymer 1911 in .40. As such, it'll disappoint both the polymer and 1911 crowd simultaneously. It's of reduced size and not shot by Chuck Norris so the odds are long.

It's already had some malfs attempting to shoot .40 S&W from a .45 ACP magazine. The proviso that the gun "never have malfunctioned" is intended as tongue-in-cheek, enh?
 
Never had a malfunction

I am bring a gun that has never had a malfunction. Never.

All the time I have had it, it has never cough, sputtered, failed to seat or failed to extract or had any other kind of failure.

Anyone else bringing a pistol that has never had a problem?

LM:D
 
The one I'm planning to bring hasn't malfunctioned. I haven't shot it in awhile so I'm going to take it to the range before the match--I'll report back, but in the unlikely event that it jams on me I'll probably switch to something else.
