Just wondering:
While holstering pistol(s), how much 'grace' is allowed when putting the pistol(s) back into the holsters
vertical that creates violating the 170 rule?
In other words, holstering a pistol pointed straight down BEFORE the muzzle enters the mouth of the holster.
Thanks

Probably correct....... but what if he is not an E9? Would he then be called Command Senior Chief?
Just wondering.

Howdy Bgavin.
From my personal experience.....
.....There is no disadvantage in the brass itself. AND, actually the small primer pockets
on 'some' .45 ACP brass allows for a stronger/thicker web of the brass which enhances
the ability of loading it hotter assuming the pistol is capable of handling it. The brass
itself will probably be stronger.
(example: .45 Colt brass has Large Primer pockets. .454 Casull brass has small primer pockets
which can use both small pistol or small rifle primers.)
I have a small amount of .45 ACP brass with Small Primer Pockets and I normally load it up
to .45 +P or .45 Super performance, assuming my pistols are strong enough and proper springs
have been installed.
BUT, for your standard loads, it good brass and probably stronger brass to handle slightly higher
pressures. The ONE THING to check before loading to higher than standard pressures is
to make sure your Flash Hole is correctly sized.

"POME" ? I think you mean ... 'POEM'.
nice poem.
EDIT: now, if you had said something about an apple, pear, etc..... then you
could have correctly called it a POME alert.

Howdy JEDI Creeker.
I'm going on faint memory, but I think when I turned 60, I shot
Silver Senior GF at the TN State and won that category.
Then when I turned 61, I decided to shoot just regular GF
just for the fun of it. Dang, if I didn't win that category that
year also and some of those 'young guns' kidded me about
being a 'Cherry Picker' when I walked up to get my 1st place
award. I just 'humbly' laughed.
But that ain't always been the norm for me cause I've been
whooped a few times by Lassiter and Max Montana, who are
two of my SASS heroes.
If we ever get a chance to shoot together, I'll give it my best
cause I know you will be pushing me to the limit.
I also love the competition...... just ask Red Knee.....

Rolling pins, swatters and wooden spoons are ALL formidable weapons in a Mothers hand.
Us kids also spent time on the back porch, at night, DARK, with no light, ..."where the
Boogie Man" can get ya.
The Boogie Man is alive and well at nightime in Knoxville, TN. I've heard him make noises
under the back porch just before Momma let us back in the house.
WHEW..... some of those were close. We could hear the Boogie Man at the bottom of the steps.

Mom turned 96 last week. She said she's not in a mood to argue with me anymore so she just
warps me over the head with a cast iron skillet........... of course, after she removes the corn bread from it.

Weren't there models of various barrel lengths with names like:
Sheriffs model
Shopkeeper model
Gamblers model
Just a thought.
BUT...... agree with Phantom. Who really knows about those short barrel lengths.

Ah, come on Phantom. What better way for you to spend

Oh yea, and don't forget about all the MDQ's for 'round over the

Here we go... seven pages and no one mentioned the "No alibi/reshoot/restart" rule; I'll say it.
Eliminate the rule that permits re-shoots for folks that haven't fired a round down range.
If.a round has not gone down range, there is no "re-shoots".
Its a 'Re-start'.
Anyhow, too many factors to consider for eliminating Restarts:
1. often, the shooter doesn't hear the beep.
2. if the shooter gets distracted at the moment of the beep,
restart considerations should be allowed.
3. shooter picks up long gun and suddenly gets something
in the eye.
4. TO bumps the shooters hat with timer. But TO doesn't
know he bumped the hat because the timer aint got any
feeling.
5. and lastly, one of my pep peeves, the TO breaks their
start rhythm and when they say..... "Stand By", it sounds like
"Stand ByEEEP". No pause given.
Lightin up fellers. We aint soldiers in boot camp. As Creeker
respectfully stated......... we are in the entertainment business.

OTJ,
if I can just pick up some speed on the rifle, and shoot like you, I might become better
competition.
Thanks for the tips and practice info.

Howdy Bgavin.
Sorri, I haven't looked at my email lately but I will post on this topic.
My EDC are basically two, 357 sig caliber pistols. A SIG P229 Legend and a P320.
BUT..... in my truck are a couple more 'items' that should help me stay safe until reinforcements arrive.
One item most folks overlook: carry a few packs of firecrackers with ya. Ya never know
when the appearance of 'suppress fire' might help you.
My home is protected with a Mossberg 930 AND Beretta 1301. Godzilla loads are the norm for these shotguns.
Also at my disposal are some Magnum pistols and of course, my favorite..... three .460 Rowlands.
The Rowlands are a beast.
If the unwanted show up at my house unarmed with nothing but their load mouth and rocks, I have a
nice chain saw that should put them on the run when I go out to 'talk' with them.
I'm just a little too old to carry on any lengthy conversations..........
EDIT: Bgavin, take a good look at the H&K P30. Highly rated pistol, 9mm, high
capacity.
