Does anyone know if they're running the classifier this weekend? I'd like to shoot it and have missed the last few.

I am checking on that for you and will know in the morning.

Classifier will be set up on Saturday. See ya there.

Classifier ONLY?

No fun shoot????

Please tell me!!!

There will be other stages, not *just* the classifier.

[wfwsorge]

Four great stages , I might add, and the classifier. Don't forget to bring your shotgun for the side match.

40+ people? Wow. Thats a huge turnout. Crazy huge.

Great to see.

mac226, how did the classifier go for you?

The classifier?


UGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!


Now let me explain. I shoot IDPA with my duty gun and rig -- the gun you refer to as "the brick." I hate it now today more than I ever have.

You see, I made it through the first stage of the classifier, then the extractor broke. I drove an hour and a freaking half to shoot this, and didn't get to shoot but a few rounds. I wanted to be classified for the state match, and of course it didn't happen. I don't have a back-up brick; I suppose I could have shot a 1911 or some such, but I want to compete in SSP for the state match. I went home; I didn't want to wait around for hours to shoot the shotgun side match of, what, six rounds.

Later that night, I was getting ready for bed, planning on bringing it to the range on Monday. I make it a habit to look at my calendar before bed because of all the court dates I have scheduled. Upon seeing my calendar, I realized I had to work extra duty / overtime the next day (Sunday), WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING GUN!!!!

So, I had to call the desk SGT, who called Corey at home. Corey met me at the range Sunday afternoon and fixed the brick, then I went straight to the OT gig.

So I worked with a functioning gun, but I'm still unclassified. Man I hate that thing. BTW, is it true S&W uses MIM steel for their extractors? That's what I've been told. Either way, S&W can't make a semi-auto to save my life. I'll take one of their revolvers any day, but their semi-autos are nothing more than overpriced paperweights.

Compton and his bro are good dudes.

Sorry to hear your extractor broke. That just plain sucks.

Pueblo is running the classifier next month. I think Clear Creek is also.
