Pawnee Winter Run 'n Gun - Jan. 18, 2014 - Pawnee, OK

One broken extractor....I wonder what other kind of malfunctions/failures folks experienced.

I had a stove pipe on my brand new Glock 19 at Stage 5, otherwise everything worked fine.

Other than being a little concerned about the cause of the stovepipe in a brand new pistol, I'm actually kind of glad it happened in the middle of a stage...it was great training!

Hey, glad to have met you guys yesterday. It was fun. Can't wait for the shooting scores to come out.

JR glad you found the sight be sure to go to forums and find the Oklahoma match's link
when I saw you jogging north of the entrance I was hoping you were excited & testing your gear, that must have been. a solid 2 hr detour you went on. Next time they say left, left , left I am positive you will go right when leaving the drive then left left or per instructions. Last run & gun I could not differentiate pink & orange I learned two things; loose the colored sunglasses & watch what direction the lead runners go. I think I lost 7 min in the first ten minutes of the run, it wasn't until stage three that I realized I couldn't see pink. Then ran at least a extra mile because I missed a turn.
I had my listening ears on this time.

Maybe dirt from going under bob wire one of my Glock mags went pepper shaker on me on stage 5 I grabbed the partial mag from stage two and finished with slide lock. I kept thinking if I run out reholster yell moving back to RO and haul but to hill top to retrieve extra mag. I forgot about extra mag zipped up in back back. I kept minimal ammo on belt I might rethink that.
My mags needed new springs I have been using same 4 mags since 2012 I replaced springs Sunday morning they were 1/2 to 3/4 inch shorter than the new springs

I didn't have any malfunctions. Got the Mosin target on the first shot. Since Lonnie said the sights were dead on, I just held to the right edge because the wind at that point must have been 20mph sustained. That was a good shooting position, too, because the top of the hill offered up as a fine rifle rest. But I have to say that 200 yards looked pretty short, or that gong was very big.

I'm not going to bring my 2011 next time. I was constantly paranoid about scraping it along the ground. I don't baby it too much, but I'm gonna get a Glock to wear when crawling around under barbed wire and going prone.

Also, I may bring my carbine next time. My 20" barrel was dragging through a lot of tree branches in the area of stages 1-3.
