At some time during the match, could we have a display table out where we can check out everyone else's pistols who don't mind them being handled by other people?  I'd like to see what else is out there.  Thanks. 
Adios,

WoW! fun match!
Got my first sun burn out of the way for the year.
Big  thanks to all that made this happen!

I agree, great first big match of the year.  Well done BK!

BK, if you were serious about making this an annual event, count me in again to help.  We can call it the Idaho Single Stack Challenge or something like that.  Set the equipment requirements based on a combination of IDPA's CDP division and USPSA's SSTK division since they are pretty darn close to begin with.  

In fact, here's an idea for next year's match:

*3 stages of IDPA-style scenario CoF's (short, med, long)
*3 stages of USPSA-style stages (medium / long field courses), and score it using IDPA's scheme of points down (to keep the stats folks from going nuts).  
*1 stage of Steel Challenge
*1 outlaw stage where we can have stage props or procedures that are otherwise illegal in IDPA or USPSA (i.e. 2 fisted shooting, MGM spinners, prop gun...)

Have two divisions:  Major and Minor so people can shoot their 9mm 1911's  -just so long as the gun has its basis in the original service pistol as designed by St. JMB.

I had a awesome time, and I didn't do to bad considering I was borrowing 2 different 1911's.

Thanks again to LM45 for putting this together and to pops and the other sponsors. I cant wait for the Idaho single stack challenge.

Pass on my thanks to the family for sharing in the effort.

How does it shoot?

Thanks to all who were invloved in putting this together, this match was awesome!  The "Double Stacks are for Whimps" stage was the most fun I have ever had shooting a gun with my clothes on.

Mopeman,

Don't know...got it all cleaned up, might take it out tomarrow, maybe I'll let egress put the first rounds through it!!!  

Great match, had a great squad, I'll go next year too!!

Thanks guys, it was a lot of fun watching everyone enjoy themselves so much. I had a lot of great help from some great people that made the match day such a success. Including my family and they had a good time helping out and running around the range.

I posted the scores Sat night and went to bed, so if you haven't checked your scores yet they are up on both the 1911 page and the parma web page.

I'm sure photos and videos will start appearing, can't wait to see some of the videos of the 2 fisted shooting! What a blast!

We were incredibly blessed with the most perfect weather you could ask for! Who would have thought you needed sun screen and your sunglasses all day with a 60% chance of rain!

If you have pics or photos, post them up. And don't forget to thank the sponsors, especially RK Gunsmithing! Thanks Pops!
