The CZIckness XVII.....As we gather together

[Birds Away]

Just messing with ya. Though I've always found it a bit ironic that Infantry Blue is basically Baby Blue...

I'm out fellas, have a good one!

Enjoy, WTB! Be safe out there.

You bring one; I'll bring one. We will get a picture of CM shooting a 9mm 1911 in each hand. 9mm 1911 external extractor!

He will never outdo his infamous double G**** shoot/bloodletting. That was a truly memorable day.

I’m beginning to believe my wife is right. I’m very much an old man in a young man’s body.

So was Ed Gein.

Good morning guys, so far this has been a 2 big cup of coffee day and I may do a third

I'm having trouble getting ten rounds in these 1911 mags?

Am I doing something wrong?

If you remove the spring then this will allow you to get a couple more rounds in the mag. You ARE new at this aren't you!

Ive got all the Mouse chunks off of them. They're still a little traumatized though.

1. Forgive me for intruding: my ignorance and inexperience looms.
2. Your are not loading up your mags to full capacity, I take it.
3. Are you doing this to save wear and tear and for the long-life of the springs in your mags, or just to keep easier track of number of rounds when shooting?
4. Depending on your answer to the above: what is the capacity of the mags you are loading to only 10 rounds?

My reasoning has nothing to do with magazines, springs, capacity, etc.
When I was shooting regularly we would shoot every week at least once and often twice or more. We would exceed 1k rounds in a week more often than I would like to think about.
When you step up to the line you should have a goal. It doesn't matter if you are shooting for trigger feel, gauging the reset, timed accuracy or whatever else. You will have either achieved your goal within ten rounds or you probably won't at all. That means the remaining rounds in the magazine are probably wasted, more or less.
So, we decided to try loading just ten rounds in a mag for range trips. We found that it worked very well for us. We could still accomplish what we wanted but with at least some economy in ammo.

I have that picture somewhere. Also the one with Snapdragon acting as paramedic. Good times.

Yes, we laughed while he bled. We're that kind of friends.

Alexis and I tend to short load magazines because it slows us down. Easier to focus and use ammo is used at a slower rate.

Is it Saturday yet ?

CZ, CZ, CZ ......

I never understood the point of having a 1911 in 9mm.

uh....B I N G O .!!

Yellow dots on all mine now.

How many yellow dots? I’ve been putting two yellow dots on my stuff.

You betcha.

If you all did not not notice, all internet transactions are now taxed by the state. Ordering ammo online you will now pay tax....No getting around it.

One

To make it easy, one of you use 11 yellow dots while the other uses 12 yellow dots.
