No 1911???? And you're on a Gun Forum????I don't own a 1911, and I don't play games with money. I'm out!
EVEN Jeppo owns a couple.No 1911???? And you're on a Gun Forum????
See Dale, That is always my "hope". Carry guns interest me. I own Many 1911s, I have carried them for years, Not Any More. I found more suitable platforms for me. I can go down on the range and breeze through The Wizard with a 5 inch Anything. Doesn't mean a thing...I don't carry them. It is truly amazing to me how muddy the waters become when you use a 3 inch gun that weighs 20 ounces.Now if the bet is on your everyday carry how many would jump on that bet.
Right on all points.$1000 is a significant amount of money. That's the point. It's not about rolling the dice over $50, it is about forcing you to evaluate your level of confidence. I wouldn't take the bet. One, I'd currently need to sub out shooting 300 rounds because I'm still getting shots in my wrist. Two, my confidence in my EDC is based on my anticipated carry scenario, which involves about 30 rounds (what I routinely carry on my person). I keep my EDC clean and loaded with quality ammo, but heat and gunk in the mechanicals building up over 300 rounds is more than I prepare for.

Yeah uh huh there is so!No such thing.
300 rds of .45, non-stop? I'd be worried about fatigue setting in and limp wristing.
When I got used to shooting my 1911 9mm, I did ~300 rounds in a range session and felt great! Of course, that was way before it started having its problems, but it was perfect for those forst 800-1,000 rounds! LOL. Should have done the bet then!Now we're getting to the SECOND issue, operator headspace. So many malfunctions are shooter induced!
I assume you're being facetious. That a double-stack 1911 isn't really a 1911.No such thing.
What time y'all getting together sunday?Well shooters, this has about played out to it's expected end. I really appreciate all playing along. I have asked Many LEs this same thing about their duty sidearm and have never had any of them take me up on it. The whole idea is Do yo really trust your choice of defense? Seems like there were a few, that's a good thing. It also seems like there were Quite a few knowledgeable shooters that know the foiables attached to an exercise like this. I'd still hope all who were willing would come in October. We'll have a test with money attached, just like last year and a Dedicated Wizard Target that I can't wait for all to see.
@Millie and @Button Pusher , I'll see ya'll Sunday!!! Bring those 1911s.
Bad JuJu….Winchester white box
Inside Mr. Mag was 6 rounds of ammo stamped 1917. You know I did!!!! Ran through it like crap through a goose.
I will try my best to make it.Leaving for Sunday buffet at 11 and shooting about 1 LOVE to have you!!!! Come go eat with us!
Hater!Yes, exactly.
I have a Para-Ord so old it’s from the days that Para was only a frame-maker. You had to build your own if you wanted a double-stack 1911 style.
As fo being facetious, I will say that only clones of the single-stack 1911 have any business being called 1911s.
How about I take that bet on your behalf, using my 1911 that you beat on with a hammer?I'll take that bet....
But, you'll have to come to me. Traveling more than about an hour away is out.
...limp wristing a 1911?300 rds of .45, non-stop? I'd be worried about fatigue setting in and limp wristing.
I’ll beat on your 1911 with a hammer and only ask 1/3 of your winnings.How about I take that bet on your behalf, using my 1911 that you beat on with a hammer?
I'll brang ya half of the winnings.
I thought it was the CZ guys that had limp wrists?limp wristing a 1911?
Yep. The only 911 would be that my thumb is so long it rides the slide-release. That could prevent the slide-lock requirement that @BatteryOaksBilly mentioned.
How many 1911 lovers amongst us would be willing to bet oh say...$1,000. The bet would be for you to show up with 300 rounds of ammo of your choice and the 1911 of your choice. Then proceed to shoot the 300 rounds without a SINGLE malfunction of any kind. No...failure to load, fire, extract, eject, or lock the slide back. Absolutely no alibis. Just curious who would be willing to do this???
