Woo Hoo!  I wish we had a group around here.  What wouldn't there be to love about a flapper dress and a Tommy Gun. ;D

Wellll Cami....
Start one. As far as I know I'm the only AZSA member in Nebraska. I still haven't attended a match but have been working on some friends here. We're talking about having a side match after next month's cowboy shoot.

Pitspitr,
You might want to contact Cedar County Sheriff out here in Seattle.
He is working up a Zoot Suit side match for (I think) our next monthly match.

I would have to buy another gun safe and don't have anywhere to put it. ;D  And I would have to clean out all my cowboy clothes to have a place to put me zoot suits.  :(

Let me see,

Got 1880-90s for Cowboy dresses.

Got 1910-1917 dresses and suits for Wild Bunch

Now just have to add a closet for 1920s. 

Already got a 1911, 1917 revolver and an Auto-Ord Tommygun so I think I am set there.

Major, I have acquired a Browning Auto-5 Riot gun(made in 1938). I'm shopping for a Tommy gun and hope to fine a used one at at reasonable price.

We're not kiddin'! The Hustler here, AZSA member number 1. Marshal, thanks for starting a Zoot Shooters sub-forum on CAS City. I trust it will be well used seeing how many of our members and supporters seem to be coming from SASS.

Our latest caper was the 2011 World Championship match. Marshal was there to cover it for an upcoming feature on Down Range TV. Looking forward to seeing that! I uploaded some photos of squad 1 on the website today. I will post match details and results as time permits. I plan to update the sponsors page as well (we gained a few more before the match).

Thanks to all of you for your support and comments! We need it for the growth of our sport. Please continue, we're listening.

Huster!
Glad to see you found us!
Pitspitr (AZSA #15) here. I've been appointed moderator of this board. I expect we'll have quite a bit of interaction here.

I'm still waiting to make it to my first AZSA match. I had plans the weekend of Nationals or I would have tried to come out.

Thanks again, Pitspitr! I'm glad Marshal put you in charge of the Zoot Shooters sub-forum and I agree, I think it will get plenty of traffic.

The World Championship was a great time. Don't worry that you missed it, next year's will be even better. It will be at the same club and we're thinking Labor Day weekend but that's still up in the air...

I attended a Zoot Suit match in RI with Grizzly Skinner's group a couple of years ago. I had a ball. I have bunches of Double Action revolvers that I can't use in CAS. The Zoot Suit thing is the perfect opportunity. That time I used a pair of old S&W M&Ps. I also have a pair of S&W Model 1917s that I could use. It's always more fun shooting old guns in action shooting than it is punching holes in paper at the range.

I borrowed one of the Tommy guns for a couple of stages. Let me tell you, if you have never shot one, they are HEAVY, particularly because of the long barrel that comes on the semi-auto versions. Nobody is making the short barreled military version for commercial sale.

Don't sweat it about 'watering down' the CAS City forum. It will be fine.
That's bad business! How long do you think I'd stay in operation if it cost me money every time I pulled a job? If he'd pay me that much to stop robbing him, I'd stop robbing him.

Ya probably inherited every penny ya got!

Wish I had a Tommie, or a BAR, or a 1911 for that matter. I look dang fine in a double-breasted Zoot suit and spats!

Oh well.

Had an Thompson once.  One of Auto Ordnance/Kahr's 1927A1 models.  I had approximately two good days with it.  First was when I bought it second, second was when I traded for a Taylor's '73. 

Too many compromises for my taste.  If I shell out better than a grand for something that's already a compromise, it better work.  If it doesn't work AND it has a long barrel, requires an adult male to use both hands to get the bolt open, and includes a drum that runs for all of two reloads before going out of commission...forget it. 

You couldn't give me one of the things at this point. 

If I ever feel the compulsion for another big, heavy, archaic autoloader, I'm saving my money and tracking down or building a BAR instead.

LOL Hedley, our house was built in 1910.  Closet space is very limited.

Hi y'all

I own enough 1911's to shoot this, I can afford a model 97 or a double barreled shotgun, but I've handled a semiautomatic Tommy gun and it's not something I'd buy.  Any chance of the Zoot Shooters moving to a wider selection of rifles?
