Even NRA is dissing 1911's now

[easy rider]

He will attend without a gun then take away their guns as he executes them.

He doesn't need their guns, he only needs a pencil.

I may make more mag changes than a double stack......but they wouldn't have to "wait" on my old fat ass.......

 

[Charlie]

Like Dawico said, .............Heh!
I like 1911s, and I also like plastic guns. I just don't think I need a dozen rounds or more.

If you've got comments you would like to share with the NRA concerning this situation, Timothy Knight is the person you want to talk to about it. https://www.facebook.com/knight4nra...1837.711315568910213/1534517103256718/?type=3

Basically what I expected. Again How many Joe Gun Owners have more than a couple of magazines. When you consider that most 1911s hold less than half the ammo of your common double stack guns, that equates to a lot of waiting for those guys to reload mags.

Someone should show up with a Kel-Tec.

Better yet, Jerry Miculek, or someone who can speed load on a level close to his should show up.

I am a life member of the NRA but sometimes they do some seriously short bus shit.

 

[oohrah]

Well, that's one of the reasons I don't use my M1911A1 in Steel Challenge. I'm not good enough to always clear a stick with just 7 rounds.

This carry guard training just sounds like another "tacticool" bullshit "operator" class designed to separate money from your wallet.

From the description;
"This is the crown jewel of NRA Carry Guard Training, for those who take carrying seriously. Developed by elite military veterans in conjunction with law enforcement experts, it consists of three levels of training, with Level One available now, and Levels Two and Three to follow."

Sounds like just another Yeager school but with certified NRA folks conducting it.

If they want to do "real world " training like they claim, it should be designed around real world citizen carry. Revolvers, pocket guns, 1911s and the modern striker fired double stack pistols.

After much mockery, this picture went with your quote but has since magically disappeared from their web site:

They do.

You should bring a secondary firearm that you carry concealed, as well as a holster for such. We will run the course with a primary carry weapon and then run a course of fire with a secondary or back-up gun to evaluate the differences. Please bring at least 40 rounds of ammo appropriate for your carry firearm for this portion of the class. Revolvers, 1911s and/or subcompacts can be used for this portion of the class.

 

[Hoji]

They do.

Still sounds like a tacticool operator class.

Most people's primary carry is some kind of sub compact "mouse gun".( .380, .32,.25, etc) A lot of them are not even carried in a holster other than a pocket type or in a purse. Same with revolvers.

This is just another operator class designed to make Joe Sixpack feel like a SEAL.

I don't believe that the majority of us that post regularly on this site or have stacks of magazines laying around are representative of the typical gun owner in the US. Just as those of us who shoot competitively make up a relatively small percentage of gun owners, those who stack ammo deep and have piles of mags laying around is (IMO) a low number compared to those who never buy more magazines than what come with the pistol and may keep a few 50 round boxes of ammo laying (if that) around and buy ammo at a store on the way to the range.

I'm not saying every gun owner in existence is under prepared with just a few mags and a couple of rounds of ammo.

I'd say that is pretty accurate.

My SIL has been a Sheriff for 5 years.
The only gun he owns is his duty weapon.

All I could tell when I saw the movie was that he killed a shitload. Now I know what a shitload is.
