Oh My. What have I become

[alfsauve]

A wanna be competitor.   

And I got this for my 929 which is at the smithy's having it's nosed bobbed.  But here it is with my 686, which I will use this weekend in an ICORE match.

More about this "holster" later.

Alf... it is not a holster, but a gun retaining device  ... good luck with the archaic wheeie thingy

Is that a politically correct term?

What have you become ? Doesn't matter, we can except you any way unless it's Democrat.

Ok, so you can get the gun out fast, but after 6 shots does it matter LOL!!  Talk about going out whole hog for competition!!

You're right Bidah, at my level it doesn't make a lot of sense except on very short courses.

Well how about that.  Tomorrow's GA ICORE match will have two very short stages.  One is 6 plates freestyle and one is 6 plates strong hand only.   I'm right at the cusp where the draw can be a significant amount of the final time for something like this. 

You're right though, the more shots the less significant the draw time becomes.


BUT:  I can't go to IRC looking like a GA Red Neck (which I am) sporting some WalMart holster.   i got's to look the part.



The real reason was for buying it was there just wasn't a good alternative to the Safriland 002.

The revolver is a weapon of a modern day knight. Not as clumsy or random as a bottom feeder; an elegant weapon for a civilized society.

ref Georgia Redneck (from a UF Alumni)... when we started shooting the Ga State USPSA matches back in the early days, there was a gentleman that wore bib overalls with no undershirt, shot a SW M25 pretty well, and with an early morning temperature of  28F was barefoot (with purple feet)... no comment was made about his sun tan

This reminded me of a temp I had working for me that wanted to run the Spinny Thingy over in the Machine shop... yep a Lathe.

Not only NO! but 'F' NO!

So Les and anybody else going to the GA State USPSA match on 8/26-28?    I'm shooting on a Friday, all day, squad, #51.   Seems a few of my revolver buddies will be shooting with me.   Sad to say though I'm not ready to take my 929 out just yet, and I don't want to further handicap myself by shooting a 6 shot, so I'll be shooting and M&P in Prod.   

My reasoning is that regardless I'm shooting a bottom feeder, I'm still getting practice in planning and shooting challenging stages.
