Another Interservice and Perry are done and gone – the end of my bullseye ‘season’. It was bitter-sweet, to say the least. Last year I was present at both, but couldn’t shoot for medical reasons; I was determined at the end of last year to get back on the line. However, it only worked out [...]
So I got a call, last minute, before leaving for the Nationals at Camp Perry from Airman magazine. Long story short…Guy #1 at a gas station meets another guy (#2) and gets to shootin’ the breeze. The subject of the USAF pistol team comes up, as well as the impending National Matches at Camp Perry [...]
So I’m finally getting a chance to get back to Rafe again and the building of his 1911. Let’s all remember that he is in college and also works, so there are a lot of ‘gaps’ in our time together and thus, his progress. Collectively, he’s spent about 9 hours fitting the slide to the [...]
The question of barrels has been asked of me a few times, so I figured I’d babble a bit about it. These days barrels sold as ‘match grade’ can get a bit tricky…some are more ‘match grade’ than others, while some aren’t even close. Unfortunately, I wish I could say ‘brand X’ sucks and ‘brand [...]
I’ve heard this guy’s name for years and often sluffed off what people told me about building a .45 when they prefaced it with “…well, Kuhnhausen says this…” – especially when said individual has never built a 1911. Of course, I mean “built”…not “assembled”, LOL. I’ve been fairly successful with guns I’ve built using the [...]
A lot of bullseye shooters consider the end of Camp Perry as the end of their season. For many others, it’s simply the beginning of the next…such is the case for me. I have finally been reinstated to shoot by my doctor (following an entire season down due to neck surgery) a few days after [...]
I finally got my second Hammerli 215 yesterday – I’m pretty excited. Sure, its the same as the other one I have, but everyone’s happy when they get a new gun – or, at least, a gun that’s new to them. All I gotta do now is get it set up the way I like [...]
