    I just wanted to thank everyone for a well run and enjoyable day! Thanks Dan for convincing me to shoot instead of just watch. I tried to meet as many of you guys as possible, and I look forward to the next match. I plan on becoming a regular, and thanks again for making a newbie feel welcome.

    That's great! Do know it doesn't usually take sooo long to run the match, and theres usually more movement in the stages. I LOVE the 2 gun matches. Get excited!

    YES! Today we were limited to one bay and there were more shooters than normal; therefore, it took a while to get done.

    Lol...I totally understand that the single bay changed things. No problem here. That was the first time in 26 years I have shot on a timer, so maybe next time I will be a bit smoother. Lol
    Already planning more mods on the 1911. Haha. I am excited, Dan.

    I have a Smith and Alexander ordered. It just didnt make it in time. Also I have a Wilson extended thumb safety I have to fit. Remember, I wasnt planning to shoot but SOMEBODY insisted! Lol

    I do like the S&As better than the 188b, but they're pricier. Solid choice!
    An extended thumb safety is a must, but skip the extended slide release, all it'll do is make get you to premature slide lock.
    Great to meet you, Sir!

    I was given the same advice and would have given it to you as well, if I had seen your post last night. I know I would have definitely regretted it if I hadn't shot the first match I attended.

    I wanted to just watch my 1st match. A bunch of peeps said " C'mon just jump in and do it! " I have not regretted it! I have a blast every time I am out there.
