Take the snap caps to the range with you. Add them into your mags in various places. Bang, Bang, Bang, click, Failure drill, Bang, Bang, Bang.
You have greased the rails of your slides right? How are you making the gun fire ready? Are you practicing weak hand? Can you rack the slide one handed? |
Yes
no , don't have the gun yet, permit first Was plannign to field strip, clean, then oil it up yeah, but only .22 for the moment, i'm about equally accurate left or right on a good day.. on a bad day , i'm equally ****ty left or right :D Not yet, no pistol, but will make sure to figure that out |
I like a light grease for the slide. Motorex makes a lube for MTB forks that's really like 150 weight oil.
For one arm racking you can hook the sights on a firm object or dig the sights into your thigh or belt and push the pistol. ( DO THIS WITH SNAP CAPS! - KEEP YOUR BUGER HOOK OFF OF THE TRIGGER) When you rack the slide normaly most people will try to hold the grip with their strong hand and use their weak hand to pull the slide back. Try holding the slide with your weak hand and pushing the grip forward. My wife is a small woman who has MS and she can do it this way with a 18# spring (2# over stock) |
i'm planning to oil it up with the oil that comes with the gun , Dan Wesson's always come with oil..
I tried to rack the slide @ the store, but as it was new, very tight and not broken in, it was tough.. Then i automatically started to push with right hand, worked like a charm. Bit worried about buggering up my rear sights with that one handed racking technique. It doesn't have combat sights , it's a bo-mar style.. |

Appointment with 50 made, they aren't coming, can't be bothered, i can go to their office next tuesday at 14h00
Questions are rather simple, about 20 of em.. Example : Q Can i lend my gun to somebody else A No , unless i'm at the range, to another licenced shooter, at the firing line, and i'm there Q How should i secure my weapon at home? A burglar proof cabinet + trigger lock Q describe the intent of the article 416 and 417 regarding lawfull self defence A 1 Only if unavoidable, last resort (if you can avoid violence , do so) 2 Proportional (don't shoot over verbal threats) 3 Do not continue longer then you have to Stuff like that Obviously i cannot answer : dude looked at me funny, so i emptied my magazine and then reloaded and took out his Chihuahua as well. anyway, 20 questions , i think i'll manage practical exam, cop says, we don't bother with those, if the club says yer fine, yer fine.. Which is fine by me ! Told the gun shop to expect me soon, and asked them what brands of 45 acp ball they have in stock... |
Allrighty, another step closer, just went to the local police station for my theoretical.. passed with flying colors.. It was the Leo in charge of the weaps department.. After the test we had a bit of a chit chat.. he was more gun ho then i was.. Ran some hypothetical scenarios by me, and he was almos pushing me to be more trigger happy in those situations..
Anyway, now the wait for them to finalize a small background check on me, then they send the papers off to Brugge.. More waiting.... And then hopefully soon the practical test. |
The good news is, i got a new high score with the .22 onehanded@25 yards...
166/200 x5 (3 rounds when in the white not visible in the picture) (did some fast double taps at 10 yards after that and that was a nice little group in the lower center of the 9-8 rings) http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1311788103.jpg The bad news is, cannot do my practical test when i want, it's fixed dates, first one is september 5th. So more waiting The good news is, it turns out that one of the dudes @ the club , i was chugging beers with, is the chief examinator, cool guy, assistant coach of the military competition team.. He's was more then helpfull to explain things, i don't think there should be any problem passing on the first try. |
While i'm waiting for my 1911, i got me another 1911 to go with the other one, once i get it..
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1312390759.jpg It's very nice, build quality is great, look and feel is amazing.. And it's sharp, very sharp. It's fully compatible with 1911's , eg , possible to simply exchange the grips.. Made in Canada... And also fun, found me another way to do he practical exam, outside the province, but still valid, i can go on saturday 13th of august (instead of 30th sept.) |

Did practical today, did pistol, rifle and smoothbore all in one go, piece of cake really. Almost there.... Just need the fuzz to clear me, and wait for the permit.. Few more weeks left on my long wait... |
Cool! Post pics of the gun in your meth lab, when you get it.

Just got word, that the permit is ready, the official has sent it over to the governer's desk to be signed.. then it goes to the local police so i can go pick it up...
The final stretch, the light at the end of the tunnel.. I'm gonna giggle all the way from the police station to the gun store when i go pick it up. |
Excellent!!
|
I bought another Springfield in a Costco parking lot two weeks ago. Would have taken two minutes, but he had other guns in his truck to show me.
|
i'm sure i can buy one in a parking lot in under 2 minutes too..
i'm not sure i wanna be stopped by the popo while carrying that particular purchase :D |
Pic will be mandatory when gun is in hand . . .
|
Very cool man! Do share photos.
