The 3rd installment in the Quest for Master Class is up at Downrange.TV - check out for a dry fire drill you can do to practice your reloads with retention for IDPA matches.
Normally, we do the filming for the Quest on Sundays, this Sunday we had rain so that forced a change of plans from the normal shooting schedule to "hey, let's do a dryfire drill". Follow the entire Quest for Master Class at Downrange.TV!

Gun Nuts Radio featuring BJ Norris
Check out last night's episode of Gun Nuts Radio, we were joined by my buddy BJ Norris of Team S&W to talk about his performance at the USSA Pro-Am, as well as some gunsmithing tips to get your 1911 to feed correctly. Last night's episode is also available in .mp3 format for listeners that prefer a portable broadcast, and of course it's also available on 
for our Apple products users.
Definitely a fun episode! Had a little conversation about 1911s, which is a favorite subject of mine, as well as a good opportunity to talk about the entirety of the HAVA Charity Auction. Last night, I wanted people to get the bidding on the Crimson Trace Laser Package above $350, and you did - it's now at $355. However, I'd love to see this go for say, $550 so click here to bid on $800 worth of products from Crimson Trace. I am very proud of the auction process, and I'm excited to close it out next month and see what we can do for HAVA!

Quest for Master Class - Speed Run
The last time we shot the IDPA classifier, we shot it for accuracy. This time, we shot the run for speed. Here's the video of the Speed Run through the IDPA Classifier!
Also, check out the full article at Downrange.TV! Some fun comments on the video - first off, I did re-shoot the last string of Stage 3. Normally that's not allowed, and it would definitely disallow this as an official classifier. The malfunctions were caused by light ammo that failed to cycle the slide with sufficient force to pick the next round up and chamber it completely. Also, I did slip on the 2nd string! I wonder how fast I could have had that run if I hadn't almost fallen on my face. As I planted to head to the barrel, my foot just slipped right out from under me. However, this is why you practice muzzle safety and taking your finger off the trigger!
Ultimately, this run was a good run, despite the bad ammo and the slips. We can definitely shoot into Master Class in both SSP and ESP, and the Ruger SR9c is a GREAT gun. This is the softest shooting sub-compact I've ever played with, and I'm excited to keep running it!

Gun Nuts Radio and Peter Palma from Top Shot
I nearly died laughing last night during Gun Nuts Radio with my buddy Pete from Top Shot. We were talking about our mutual loathing of the undead (zombies) and Pete said that while he'd enjoy being able to ride his go-kart from one end of town to the other during a zombie apocalypse, it wouldn't be that great because you'd not be able to get orange juice any more. That stream of consciousness is why I am desperately hoping that the Top Shot DVDs will have an "outtakes" and "unused footage" section, so we can get all of Pete's random thoughts. To hear our interview with Pete, check out last night's Gun Nuts Radio. The show is also available in .mp3 format.
