No, I was on the Rifle Team. We all shot both weapons however in the selection matches for the teams. After I became an officer I had no time to shoot competitively. The price of success. I know the name Dombroski. It is a.small Corps.

Mark, I don't understand a.small Corps Explain? Nevermind... The "." was a typo and the USMC is a small tightly-knit group of dedicated Americans. .

It was amazing how many Marines one would know and how often our paths would cross.

thanks Mark
practice-and that means proper practice, is something I would bet most of us do not do enough of. I used to shoot in a defensive pistol legal but no longer seem to find the time i have read of the ransom rest - and would love to see what the Sig C3 would do on one. i am sure it (the Sig) is more accurate than i will ever be

Very nice group Mark. I shot in a Bulls eye League for 12 years and always enjoyed shooting the 1911 more than any other pistol. It seemed that each 1911 had it's own sweet load. Mine is 4.3grs of 231 with a 200 gr. LSWC.

That Les Baer is the one to have !!
Real good way to learn to handle a pistol in CCW protection situations is find a local IDPA club. My son was shooting it with a Glock told me it was fun so gave it a try with my 1911 Figured how hard could it be ? Real hard it turned out, but the local club went to great lengths to help new shooters. I had qualified a number of times in the service, not the same as draw and shoot under duress, matches are scored by time with seconds added for misses. IDPA puts strong emphasis on using available cover, strong hand weak hand shooting, shooting in dark rooms with a flashlight etc. Learned far more than any of the expensive schools you can attend. At Minimal expense. Worth a visit to see what goes on. Matches they run classes for 45 Auto's 45 Revolvers. 9 MM Service Pistols, any caliber Custom Pistols, 38 Service Revolvers, and very interesting, "Back up Gun " in two classes Auto and Revolver. Barrel has to be under 3 inches. William |
