I'm always up for the chance to put unusual guns through practical trials, so I jumped at the chance to try out the 2-Gun Action Challenge Match north of Tucson AZ this past weekend. For my armament, I chose a Leader Dynamics T2 rifle and the Ballester Molina I recently bought as a carry gun. Both guns performed great - I had no malfunctions at all caused by either of them. The only gun-related problem I had was when I failed to fully seat a rifle magazine in the Leader at the start of stage 3. Well, that and losing one of the FCG e-clips somewhere...although that did not cause any functional problems. The Leader was designed to be simple and inexpensive to manufacture - a practical no-frills rifle. There are a few changes I would make to it - like replacing the carry handle with a bit of Picatinny rail and using a more secure system for retaining the FCG pins - but it gave me no problems and handled quite naturally. The Ballester-Molina, I am happy to report, ran like a top and justified the confidence I had put in it. It's everything the 1911 was really intended to be, and not what people have tried to make them into. It's not a bullseye gun, it rattles a bit when you shake it, and as a result it runs reliably. http://twogunaction.squarespace.com/ http://www.forgottenweapons.com/action-match-video-leader-t2-and-ballester-molina
