$35 match fee (plus the cost of ammo, fuel to get there, etc.). Figure 250-300 rounds for an average first-timer. Lots of fun, but it can be frustrating like any other gun game.

ETA: More info at their site, www.ssashooter.net

Well, any solitary game can be frustrating. For the shooter interested in any action pistol game, I would recommend that you be able to hold your pistol at full extension for about 8 - 10 minutes. When you first start SSA, you'll be seeing times of 2-4 minutes per stage and your arms will get tired quickly. Starting with a 1911 chambered in 45acp was not the easiest learning experience.

I'm thinking about hitting up the OC Indoor Shooting Range (Brea) soon for some stress relief soon. Would anyone else be interested in joining? I might be going as early as tomorrow morning if I can get the time.

Unfortunately, I used my 1911 money for 2 handguns this January. Can't resist the very good deal. Maybe I'll buy my 1911 next month.

Self policing is always the best way.

I can always help RO if you set up the shoot.

Cool! But we need to put up funds for the range rental and equipment, and if there are still excess funds,we can use it for the after shoot party.

For equipment it gets expensive fast. In our group we have steel pepper poppers, ports, walls, caution tape, timer, IPSC targets and stands.. it easily adds up. Luckily, we have a very dedicated buddy in our group whos fantastic at creating some of the most creative ports and partitions ever.

If you're gonna buy equipment, I'd suggest making it into a regular thing. Otherwise, for one time thing it wouldn't be too cost effective. A get together to shoot may be the best route. Keep in mind you'll be setting up, shooting, taping, and tearing down each stage one by one. Also, since it should be very safety oriented, you should also consider everyones safety standards. I trust everyone in my group with regards to their competency in handling of a firearm.

Just a few things to consider. It's easier said than done.



Here's one of his creative creations... dual panel port.

Copied from the other 1911 thread currently going on. I DROS'ed this just about an hour ago.

Sorry for the cellphone pic quality. Didn't feel like dragging my DSLR out just to do a DROS




Thoughts:

- The included magazine is nice and very high quality. I wish my Kimber had come with a mag like this.
- The wood grips are pretty and add some class.
- Frame is "green" parkerized, slide/barrel/small parts/guide rod and plug are all "black" parkerized. I definitely dig the slightly two-tone look.
- Frame/barrel/slide fit is surprisingly smooth and tight. Not what I expected from a 319$ pistol, even after reading all the outstanding reviews. I'm ESPECIALLY surprised since I just got the USGI model as opposed to the tactical or match version.
- Finish on some of the small parts is a little rough, but nothing terribly nasty looking. I expected this and am not discouraged.
- Trigger was heavier than on my Kimber, but still retained that characteristic 1911 single-action crispness.
- Sights are definitely USGI, simple and no-nonsense.

I played with it, disassembled it, dry-fired it. So far I'm really happy with it. Now I just have to wait the damned 10 days!!!

Nice pickup Christian!


Well looks like it's confirmed that we'll be heading up to Angeles this coming Sunday if anyone's interested. Steel is a lot more fun than paper!

We'll be on the far end of the pistol side from 12:30 -closing
