    I'm conflicted.
    I'm not anti-technology. My 1911 may eventually be fitted with carry optics, but I have sold all of my plastic guns. Tried 'em and went back.

    Times change. Technology improves. In 40 years we'll be trolling old guys shooting Glocks when they're "classics"
    I'll shoot the match next weekend and see how the old guy with antiquated equipment measures up.

    For the record I'm just gently trolling you. A POS 1911 or a POS Glock doesn't matter to me. Guns are boring, performance is interesting. JMHO.

    As for performance, I did learn I need to train better. At the range I've been casually reloading from my front pocket, being too lazy to put on a mag pouch. The class had two short stages at the end. Guess where my hand went to retrieve a fresh mag at reload time.

    So you're too lazy to put on a mag pouch, but the problem with competition these days is equipment related (i.e. plastic guns)?

    Not sure why everyone is encouraging you to do anything but go away, and quickly. Read more, post less.

    My radar for this stuff is totally fucked.

    All real men shoot Colt Cap n Balls. Sure it takes longer to reload. That just gets everyone else a chance to admire the clouds of black powder smoke.

    You should probably schedule an appointment to have that stick taken out of your ass.

    You're not allowed to un-ass-stick anyone, you were just complaining about how no one uses a horribly dated gun from when the Model T was invented, Charlie Chaplin was popular, and cowboys still looked like extras in a Clint Eastwood film.

    I expect in the USPSA or IDPA discussions of 2157 AD when the appropriate gamma ray laser division is debated, someone will still be shooting a 1911 and bitching about the self-guided AI rounds fired from the Glock 92.

    I recall an old TV show https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_.45_(TV_series), where the hero as cover, sold Colt SAA and had to listen to old farts opine that the cap and ball guns were so much better.
