Now that we have discussed ad nauseum the philosophical implications of its existence it is time to get down to dogma on the single stack provisional division. What are you going to shoot in the new division?

I have a choice of my carry Kimber Custom with fixed sights, a stainless Colt with fixed night sights, and a Trojan with a broken STI rear sight and Fiber Optic front. The Kimber and Colt are .45 ACP and the Trojan is .40 S&W. I'm in the middle of building a new house and am too poor to pay attention right now, but as soon as the move is over and all the financing is under wraps I am leaning toward replacing the Trojan's rear sight with a Bomar and having it hard chromed for next year.

I am looking at building a Caspian in 45, can you imagine that I do not have one yet. Until it is done I will use a .38 Super Single Stack that is an old Open gun converted back to a 5"

If I had another couple hundred buckaroos to spend on short mags and leather, I'd shoot my Trojan .40 in SSD....

[fomeister]

Most likely I will be shooting my STI Trojan in .40 with Metalform 10mm mags and Blade-tech holster and pouches.

[scorch]

Can't Wait Going to Shoot the Gun I started with 7 Years ago a KIMBER classic 45 Already Bought the 8 Round Mags ( had 5- 10 rounders) What holster is good for the good old 1911 that cants?

[AikiDale]

I'll be using a Blade-tech holster and double leather mag pouches.

38 super kimber with a brand new 40 barrel!!! 10mm mags and it runs like a dream. 4th overall at San Antonio's Single stack match this year. My wife is going to shoot our other 38s kimber!!!

[rubberneck]

This new single stack division is one of the reason why I am going to start shooting USPSA. I always had a reason for not doing it but now I don't as I have everything that I need.

I'll be using a Springfield Loaded that has been customized by EGW and Tripp research.

The HD Pro Carry should be fine since the slide is less than 4.2 inches.

Will replacing the sight on your trojan actually improve your shooting?

Kimber Custom Tactical full size
12lb & 17lb springs
Gun Geek special trigger job (1.25lbs very little creep)
Dawson 0.090 FO front sight
Stock Kimber rear sight

Masterblaster 200gn SWC over 4.3 gn of Clays (168pf)
Ready Tactical Kydex paddle holster and mag carriers

Same rig I shoot for IDPA when I shoot CDP

[AikiDale]

I don't know if replacing the broken sight will help my shooting any but the hard chrome should boost my cool factor.

[schoonie]

Chromed Colt Gold Cup drawn from Earnie Hill leather. Let the fun begin!

[Carlos]

I'll be shooting this thing; just so long as I am able to "git er done!" in time to participate in the new Division.



As for the rest of the rig, I ordered a Blade Tech brand Kydex holster that is convertable to a dropped, off-set holster with hardware. I opted for Blade Tech's dual magazine carriers as well (good choice?). Hope the rig arrives soon.

A mostly-stock Les Baer Premier II in .45ACP. An S&A magwell with arched mainspring housing, and a recently installed Sprinco are the only modifications done to it. I haven't shot it with the Sprinco enough to decide whether I'll stay with that or go back to a standard guide rod and 14 lb. recoil spring.

Straight-drop BladeTech holster or Sparks Executive Companion IWB, Ready Tactical mag carriers, Wilson 47D 8-round magazines, 230 gn. Precision Bullet RN loaded at ~170PF.

Except for the magazines, it's my Lim10 rig. Add designer ammo, it's my carry gear.

[carinab]

I may try out the new division with the gun I started shooting IPSC with...
a Colt government combat in .45acp

Yes, that's right...I started life as a sister of the single stack.

It's going to my gunsmith for a tune up and a few mods...

I just gave away my old leather gear to another new lady shooter soooooo....any suggestions on replacement holster and pouches?

I like the Blade-Tech 1911 holster. They have a dropped and offset version you may prefer.

[Merlin Orr]

I just can't see shooting anything besides a .45.............

[fortyfiveshooter]

Same gun and holster I use for Limited 10, just with shorter mags....

Dropped and offset would be me, I have curves at the beltline.

[Bergie]

Cen-dex.com

They have great 1911 holster for women which is offset and dropped.

Good Luck

[MarkS_A18138]

Drop and Offset by blade-tech! Just ordered a carbon fiber for Tracy!!! It will work perfect for you.

[1911jerry]

In the new SS division:

Are F/O sights allowed front and rear, or only front? Not standard with my gun, but I would like to switch the stock black targets for some Dawson's.

Thanks

JS

[Gary Stevens]

Either or, mix or match, no problem.

Simple answer, yes.

Gary
