Last night, Greg Jordan won the $50,000 top prize in the 3-Gun Nation shoot off finals. It’s the event that 3-Gun Nation shooters have been working towards all year, and we were on the scene to watch the night unfold. And man, were there some interesting moments . . .
Early in the night, Dianna Liedorff (formerly of Team FNH USA and now shooting for Hornady) was competing against Lena Miculek for the $25,000 women’s division championship spot. She had beaten out Lena’s mother Kay and it all came down to the final heat of a “best of three” competition to see who would walk away the winner. Di was going great guns until the unthinkable happened — her magazine wasn’t seated properly and it dropped free before she was done shooting. That one equipment failure cost her the first place spot.
It did make for an interesting picture, though.
The next biggest surprise was when Greg Jordan knocked Daniel Horner off his pedestal and into third place. Daniel has been on fire this year, and the fact that Greg was able to not only catch him but beat him says a lot about Greg’s abilities. The rivalry between these two is going to be interesting to watch in the coming year.
Surprise #3 was something that didn’t happen: Jerry Miculek didn’t knock down all of his rifle plates. He missed one and didn’t realize his mistake until it was too late. It cost him his place in the championship, for sure.
any idea why they stopped streaming midway through season 3?
Typical Prog she-man, trade a gun for a ticket to a wuss hockey team
This is to hopefully help (not steer) the novice, causal or new shooter using my experience in choosing my first real pistol.
I recently purchased a PX4 Storm full frame .45 cal for around $565 on sale and with a coupon all in from Cabelas. Now I am NOT an avid hobbyist or sport shooter, but I do hunt some with rifle and shotgun and like guns. I wanted a pistol to add into my collection, other than my dad’s old High Standard .22, to have some fun with now and then and have an interest in CCW.
I researched pistols over a period of about 4 months by reading up on, watched video’s on YouTube and touched just about every pistol I could get my hand on. There are a lot of great pistols out there and it seems everyone has an opinion for or against just about every pistol depending on need, knowledge or just personal likes. How I decided to narrowing down my choices, due to my personal lack of knowledge on hand guns was.
FIRST, how does it feel when hitting my hand. I figured if the pistol felt nice when I held it that was at least half the battle and would be key in shooting it too. There was just something I could find with most every fit that didn’t make me feel real excited about holding them. As soon as I put a PX4 in my hand I knew that was the one I wanted to investigate more. The fit seemed perfect for me even with the back strap size on it at the time and they come with 3 sizes you can change and use.
SECOND, I have to like the look of most everything I buy regardless of brand, price or what the application is. I personally love the look of the PX4 Storm, it’s unique look drew me in even closer. Everything about this gun seemed to be in the right spot and was easy for me to reach and operate.
It took me a month, once I held the PX4 Storm, along with a few times back to hold it and other pistols again and again to finally “pull the trigger” in buying one. I have not shot a pistol too many times other than my dad’s old .22, but as soon as I finally had the chance to shoot the Storm I was instantly convinced I had made the right choice. I didn’t do great the first time at the range, but have been there a few more times since and have gotten more confident and comfortable with shooting it.
Kudos and thanks to Beretta for the design and technology put into this pistol. Maybe this is not the perfect pistol for some, but I love mine! I will definitely look at Beretta first for any personal future purchases should I want to add another pistol, they just fit me.
I live fairly close to Big Timber, MT and I worked in the Big Timber area a couple years ago. Went to both Shiloh and C. Sharps shops. Asked about getting a Sharps 45-70 and 45-110 built. The backlog was about 2 years at the time. Yep, I still have it on my “wish list” as well. I need to take the time and learn what I can about the firearm and making custom loads.
Imagine a round of sporting clays with this…

I wouldn’t want to put my face right up against the Cylinder Gap there, could shear my face off.
