Checked in from time to time as a visitor. Now that Coronavirus as given us all some time to sit at home, thought I would formally join up.

Despite living in California with its rules, I have been able to dip a toe into the world of shooting.

I have participated a bit with Cowboy Action Shooting and plan join some Wild Bunch matches once I get more comfortable with the 1911 platform.

As a lefty, I have added an ambi safety. I have also put in a flat mainspring housing (both thanks to excellent YouTube videos). Otherwise, it's a standard Springfield 1911A1. No problems with the gun. Probably have close to a thousand rounds through it at the range.

Actually, an amusing CA story I heard was from my local range/gun shop. They were swamped (until they were told to close on Tuesday). But in the final days (last weekend), every one and their cousin tried to buy a gun. The same people who voted for all the restrictions over the last few years were shocked...yes, shocked, to discover that they had to wait 10 days to get their hands on their newly purchased gun. The guy who told the story said that there was not a shred of self awareness from the one guy yelling at him and that it took all his strength not to explode with laughter.
