When I retired I built a little office with my reloading and leatherwork equipment in it. It has a desk with my few work awards over the years on the wall. Some days I go in there and they mean something to me, others not. But rarely does anybody go in there now but me and the spiders.

I have very little from my past, save from some of my tools that survived the looting during the points in my life where home became a concept more than a location. So I envy that, and would hang at least the patches up in the shop. But at the same time, I prefer to do my shooting while moving quickly from target to target, so I'd look into getting some match awards through your local USPSA club from now on. There's even a division for your single stack .45, never too late.

GsT (alright, I've shot in a lot of the others, but always end up coming back to Single Stack (which direly needs more participation!).)

Anything with iron sights needs participation. I shot a Level 2 match with 180 participants last weekend, and all of the iron sight shooters combined totaled 13. Everybody has moved to using these little battery-powered fragile looking things that are hard to see in the sun and harder to see in a little morning mist that I'll never understand. My progressive bifocals pick up the front sight just fine! Single stack is a special division that I thought would never die because it's a competitive formula. I guess a fist full of 24 9mm bullets and a video game dot sight is, too- I just haven't caught on yet, they keep telling me. For the record, I shoot limited major, which was once so popular they called it "standard division". Anyhoo, things change and the participation is bigger than ever.
