Is it safe to drop the slide on an empty chamber on a 1911?
If your 1911 has a hammer/sear interface that is so delicate and the spring tension of the sear spring is so light that the hammer will follow when the slide is dropped on an empty chamber (no round being fed to slow the slide), it is an UNSAFE CONDITION.
The NRA trigger pull for 1911s in Precision Pistol is a minimum of 3 1/2 pounds. If the hammer follows the slide when closing on an empty chamber, and is prone to damage from merely closing the slide using the slide lock, it is NOT SAFE.
The SO commands, “If finished, unload and show clear. If clear, slide forward or close the cylinder. PULL THE TRIGGER (this command is not necessary for revolvers).”
Refusing to pull the trigger on an unloaded pistol is grounds for a DQ.

New targets on 100 yard range
There are new targets on the rifle range at the 100 yard berm.
New 100 yard target set.
The same rules apply to their use:
All ammo must be non steel core, by testing on the magnet attached to the post when entering the firing point.
No armor piercing ammo.
Anyone intentionally damaging the support structure (target chains, target stand, etc.) or the targets themselves will lose their membership.
All rounds MUST ENTER THE BERM.
Thanks to members Paul Jilek for the targets and Lee Bormann for building the target array!
