Thank you for the kind words. You have inspired me to find a few B27 and re enter with a model 15-3 combat masterpiece or use the irons on the 45.
This is a blast!

Hey, Mr. Rastoff!
As you may have noticed, I usually enjoy supporting your forum challenges.
Most Tuesdays, several of us "older" guys share a morning session at the Pima Pistol Club shooting rifles at 100 yards. I only have one rifle, an M1 Garand, but I usually shoot at least a couple of 8 round clips of my own 30-06 hand loads, clean the barrel, and then head home. Admittedly, the camaraderie is the biggest attraction.
But, today I have to start with an apology. I was excited enough about "the challenge" to print out your first post planning to follow the instructions to make an entry, but somehow the printout did not make it to the range with my gear and my aging memory cells did not retain much detail from my quick read the prior evening.
In the spirit of participating, I walked over to a nearby pistol range with my favorite "bicycle gun", a Kahn PM40, and a box of .40 S&W JHP. Absent the instructions, I only fired two six-round magazines rapidly at 10 yards.
I have no excuses. We reliably have temperatures in the mid to upper seventies this time of year. Arizona's sunshine is justifiably famous for reliability year round and tomorrow will probably reach eighty degrees.
Today's targets appear above. If this thread survives long enough, I will try again.

Good shooting TucsonMTB. Rest assured, the thread will live on. I look forward to the next target.Today's targets appear above. If this thread survives long enough, I will try again.
No chance I'll beat Rastoff, but I'll qualify just the same with my cataracts and arthritis. B27 & I will meet Thursday night at the range. Still debating VP9 vs C3 (.45 1911). Depends on how bad I'm willing to hurt Friday ;(

Shooting in my driveway. A LOT of snow has gone already. I was shooting this match in the afternoon when I heard a diesel engine. I turned around and it was the school bus. There I stood firing at the targets. I stopped, he drove away.
This was taken from the 7 yard line. Those were the first 10 shots of 19.
I like a challenge, I will be doing this one again.

HAHAHAHAHA! I ain't a skeert o you! I still say you can't do it.What???? ...I didn't say it was coming from ME...I just said it was coming soon!
I'm so confident, I'm putting this shirt on the line:
It is brand new. I just had the logo added last week. This one is size large, but I'll have another made if you need a different size. This goes for anyone on this forum who posts a group better than mine. The stipulations are already posted in the OP. It's on your honor so, just follow the spirit of the challenge and this could be yours.
Edit: I only have one so, the best group wins.

I blew it.
About a dozen shots the laser went haywire again. One target over, twice in a row same spot.
I called crimson trace today and they had already given me a return authorization number and said they would fix it.
So I used the irons and ... welll... the jerk behind the trigger.. 2 1/4 X 3 1/2. The black is 3"
It was about shot # 17. Then the pressure was off.
I was holding on the X with laser and 6:00 with irons.

This is the Texas CHL course of fire:
https://www.dps.texas.gov/RSD/CHL/LicenseRegistration/chlQualCourse.pdf
I, too, am a CHL instructor. Last time I took this test was with a 9mm SIG SP-2022 pistol and a rare S&W M10 HB .357 Magnum revolver. I scored 246 with the pistol and 250 with the revolver, my first perfect score. Can I submit those for this challenge!!!!

Size XL please, and I already know which pants I'll be wearing it with. Just put it aside for a day or two - I'm going to the range TOMORROW!!!

I don't think there is this much snow on the ground at the North Pole in the middle of March!

You may submit those for this challenge. However, realize that a perfect score on a B-27 won't necessarily beat my group. Remember, my group fit completely inside the center oval. Did your score do that?Can I submit those for this challenge!!!!

Don't fret though. I have another idea and will do that this weekend.

I'm gonna have to try this gauntlet challenge sometime. Here's a target I shot a few weeks ago. This is approx 80 rounds through a Glock 19, 26, and my SD40VE. There was some spraying going on, but the most time between shots was Maybe two seconds. And there was some rapid fire shots going on here and there. But these will tighten up with more range time.
