We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Looks like he's shooting a 1911. Wonder if it's a .45ACP?

The fact that the slide failed to lock back everytime after firing the gun dry leads me to believe the kids was using a Ciener .22LR kit.

There are lots of handguns that do not lock the slide after the magazine runs dry.
I do not do ISPIC/Practical shooting so do not know, but it seems the rules allow for that.
He does show clear at the end of the string - bit too quickly for me, but as long as the RO was satisfied ....
He looks like a lot of the Phillipino billiards players his age - has the basics down pat & just needs to grow into the size of the table & cue. I've seen David Sig(whatever) when he was about 14 &training down in Suffolk, then as he got older and finally got control of his growth. Dedication, practice, luck of the draw re: genes and decent training allow prodogies to develop, just as the lack of one or more of those can destroy them.
stay safe.

I was shooting with a friend of mine not long ago and i ran a magazine through his Beretta .40 and it failed to lock back which instantly made me curious as the gun is new. I then loaded the mag with some of his SD rounds and it performed properly. His 'target' rounds are a lower pressure round and thus didn't always provide the proper force to 'lock back'. That may be the case with this kids gun as well!
