    Santa Rosa Shooting Center, on Quintette, right by Escambia River Gun Club (or whatever they call themselves nowadays, no offense)

    That sounds like fun. Let's recruit some more peeps. Although, if Beaux's place is open, I'd be open to going there, might also get more people out since it's in town.

    ^ no harm intended , though I'm glad it got this going.

    What I meant is that you put your own cash toward owning a gun of the sort, and you could then informedly talk about how good or worth it is or isn't. But I'm all good with a little friendly competition.

    Honestly, what I usually do is have a friends shoot a group, then I hand them mine and have them shoot a group. Usually, the first world is "wow" and the target speaks for itself, but again, I'm all up for a little friendly competition.

    Beaux 'a place is Pensacola Indoor Shooting Range. Car city, Pensacola.

    BTW, I am not a great shot, but I shoot better with better pistols, that's what the 1911's popularity is all about at its core, and we can almost ALL appreciate that.

    Maybe I will be one of the wow guys to. You find out how many may go and the meeting place and like I said we will have the shoot off.

    I do think we should get a portion of the side bets and split it who ever wins.

    You're talking organized gambling, but I'm game. Someone could make some serious cash if you win. Lol.

    I wish we could do it at JJs. I've been out there twice , but never did the card cutting thing. It's just SOOO far.

    I have tried to keep up with this, sorry if I say something that has already been posted. It is not the trigger, slide, springs, barrel, rounds you are using or what ever else is in the firearm. It is when you pull the trigger. It is balance. If your car rides perfect today take the wheel weights off and let me know what you think. High end means specific. From the material used to the round fired, it all matters. Call Richard Childress and see if he will use a stock GM crank shaft in his race cars. You want the best open your check book. I have done it and when you pull the trigger you will know.
