Madd Mike #8595 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 clearing a jambed 1911 can be a real-mans job sometimes jest tellin the truth something to think about you dont jest hand em off, like in CAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Dog, SASS #20401 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Well a 97 with featherlites should be no problem for a buckaroo especially if you cut the butt stock to fit. I for one would not say a thing if a buckaroo showed up with a 410 pump. Or a 20. Let 'em shoot I say. I proposed Wild Bunch Lite for youths and recoil sensitive ladies over on the WB wire. Got hoo-rahed purdy bad but I do not see what would be the problem letting 22 cal 1911s play the new game. Be more inclusive. Let 'em try it with the 22 and someday they will graduate to the 45.

Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 If a kid is big enough physically to handle a 1911's grip (not gonna work with a 7 yr old, etc), and ya use either a .22 or a .45 with a real light spring and light loads, I say heck yeah, anything that gets em shooting. Ya might could even make an exception to the 1911 rules and letthe buckaroo use ANY full sized .22 pistol, such as the Ruger 22/45, Browning Buckmark, or S&W 22A or 41. That way dad might already have an appropriate gun???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbank SASS # 69108! Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Get him one of those little Chiappa 22's that look like a 1911. He (I) picked him up one of the GSG 1911-22's at a show this weekend. He had been saving for a Ruger, but a cowboy let him shoot one of the GSG's last week and he was hooked! We've got a Winchester 9422 and a 97 (C model though and heavy!) We were just talking about if there is a competition he could shoot with it and I thought of Wild Bunch.
