Ive never shot pins, how do they react to bullets at pistol velocities, do they penetrate or bounce off, and how far are they when you shoot them? My friends dad used to shoot bowling pin matches and would show us his tricked out 1911 he ran in the competitions, I remember you could make the hammer drop if you blew on the trigger, had to hold the trigger back when you racked the slide and just let go when you were ready to shoot and hold on. Ive wanted to give it a try but the only pistols Ive got are my 9mm PT-92 and a glock 27 .40. i guess either one would make it a challange.
The glock would do alright. 40 is really the smallest caliber I'd use. as far as the pins go, if you get a straight on shot to the thick part of the pin in the middle, the bullets usually get stuck, unless you're using Rumbler hot 10mm loads. anything to the sides usually penetrate through. problem is, throughout the match, as the pins get shot, they get heavy and deformed, and that's where 9mm starts to really suffer.
the match is done from 25 feet away, with the pins on the front edge of a 4x4 table, pins have to be knocked off the table. Match is a heads up drag race, first of the 2 people to clear their table wins. 6 rounds in your magazines, have as many as you want, match starts loaded at the low ready.

Capt. Mike, I should be there tonight. You are welcome to use my 1911 if you like, as long as you don't throw it. Jim

I wanted to make it but can't. Here's hoping to next week.
You gonna bark all day little doggy or you gonna bite?
Me too. I had planned on it but I wound up at the shop working on the tractor and the lathe all day. I'm spent.
I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.
