I took thepistol to the range and with a committeebreathing right over my crupper I fired thegun. After that I delivered up 50 cartridges.These the association boys broke down,chewed up, assayed, tested, inspected,weighed, measured, and I think a half-dozenwere shipped to J. Edgar Hoover.Finally in high glee I was informed thatI could not shoot the .221 because it violatedthe current rules. "What rules?" I wantedto know."The rear sight is behind the hammer,"I was told. Sure enough, I had overlooked anold regulation which states, in effect, thatthe rear sight must be located forward of thehammer. Overnight I removed the Kingclick-adjustable rear sight and relocated iton the slide well forward of the hammer.I submitted the gun for re-inspection afterthe modification. It was grudgingly given anokay.The centerfire matches followed the .22program that year. I finished the .22 portionof the lengthy program in an exceptionally!ASHBURN-SUPER STOCKstrong position for all-caliber aggregate hunors.All I'd have to do would be to unleashmy redhot centerfire in the .38 events andI'd then lead the pack by such a margin asto be able to coast through the .45 bangfests.Came the day of the centerfire competitions.I did not fire the .221 and have nevershot it since. It lies rusting in my gun cabinetat this moment.The NRA inquisition plus the mortallywoundedlooks in the eyes of my fellowcompetitors, "that goddamned Askins hastaken advantage of us," plus the lying-inwaittactics of my boss, Kelly, were too much.I tossed the pistol in the ashcan.Very directly after the Nationals that yeartwo things happened: (1) The NRA hastilygot its pistol committee into a huddle andcame up with a revision to the pistol rulewhich reads, generally, like this, "Match shallbe open to any pistol or revolver, centerfire,.32 caliber or larger." Thus my .221 wastorpedoed for all time.
