Wahlie, So what is the latest on the Kimber issue?
Went to the range saturday to make some noise and put holes in paper.
I think I found something new to do on the cape besides fish. Guy that was there does a lot of IPSIC shooting. He had a sweeeeet Caspian .38 super all tricked out. Thing could double tap through the same hole at 25 feet. He said he can consistently snake eye even out to 200 feet that's how flat and straight .38 super fires. I had no previous knowledge of that caliber before, but the IPSIC shooting has always intrigued me.
Anyhow, he was tellin me about how they do all kinds of comp shooting (baricades and what not) down at Bass River Rod and Gun in Yarmouth.

He invited me down to check it out. Said I should be fine usin my Browning High Powere as that is what he uses in the open sights class. His AR-15 was even sweeter.

But fishin be a hell of a lot cheaper.
There was a guy shootin a S+W 500. Talk about a BLASTER.

Red,
went shooting on friday(had the day off work) talked to the shop and they said that i'd have a new gun in about a month. curious to see if kimber does anything to make right with this because if people are dropping that kind of change on a pistol and it's having problems out of the box that's bad for PR.
they have plate shooting on friday nights down here with everything ranging from shotguns, pistols(semi's, single action cowboys, sub machine guns.... gotta check it out one night.

Reddy's gonna need his CT permit to bring his toys down here Wahlie...

And you should get your Mass Class A LTC if you're gonna play up in Redlite's neck 'o the woods.

Weee put up a link for the Conn permit.

I'll come down for the plate shooting. I did it at the club a couple of years ago, it was fun. Fastest for me was 6 plates in about 8 seconds, I threw the 4th shot. That was with a stock HK USP compact. A guy using a very tricked out Les Baer had a time of like 4.3 seconds..

They are supposed to run a bunch of them up in Braintree this year, and the are putting in the mechanical targets too.

I have never read much about Conn. Gun laws as I am very rarely in Conn. but I was assuming it was much like other states. I could transport my firearms through the state as long as they were unloaded, locked, and locked in a gun box. I would not be able to carry the weapon on me, but would be able to use it at a range/ hunting/ or in competitions. Will try and look into it cause I'd defiantely like to come down there for a little bang bang session. Gonna be hard since HR has put a block on any web site with "gun" or "firearm" any where in it.

Is the plate shootin like Specialist is talking about (high speed plinkin) or is it sillouhette shooting?
That was the first "real" gun (other than bb guns) that I shot at about 6.
S&W Model 29 .357 Highway Patrolman's gun with 6 inch barrel and scope. Old man used to do a lot of sillouhette shooting. Only thing that sucks about it is having to walk way the hell down the range to stand them back up.

Went over to New England Outfitters(where the plate shooting is held lastnight) they use target loads for the shotguns which is kinda odd.. they said that there is a 12 yr old that runs circles around alot of the older guys with tricked out hardware.. It will be interesting to see how it goes.. I know i'll get my arse handed to me but it will be fun.

Did some lucky bastage go shooting on his lunch hour?

wahlie · 03-30-2005, 01:30 PM

booo. no subgun category.

redlite · 03-30-2005, 02:33 PM

Not a very informative web page. Only .22 pistol? With the distance that means for shotgun they must be usin slugs? OUch. That's a beggin for a sore shoulder. And what qualifies for "pistol caliber carbine"? I see in the pics an MP9 but also an AR15 style gun, unless that is one of those new police guns that shoots 9mm or .40 S&W.

Let us know how it is Wahlie.

wahlie · 03-30-2005, 04:12 PM

i'm not sure about the shotgun category... i'd imagine that it's not slugs but who knows.... i picked up a ruger 9mm carbine yesterday for this kinda shooting. holds a hi-cap pistol mag... looks very much like a mini-14. Mike, I think that is a 9mm or .40. they don't allow .223 or anything that is a non-pistol cartridge... they do betting and stuff... money, donuts, drinks.... all we need is some ladies shakin' it and we'd be all set.
