Springfield Armory's Leatham takes 15th Consecutive SS Nationals
Leatham Wins 15th Consecutive Single Stack Title
SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. — Springfield Armory’s Rob Leatham, a resident of Mesa, Arizona, captured the 2009 U.S. Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) Single Stack National Championship this Saturday at the PASA Park range in Barry, Illinois. The match, which was sponsored by Illinois-based firearms maker Springfield Armory, drew more than 255 top 1911 pistol shooters from around the country.
Despite winning just one of the 20 stages, Leatham led through the entire competition and finished with a final score of 1197.4090. The win represents Leatham’s 15th straight in the match that was previously known as the Single Stack Classic.
Team STI member and Chino, Calif., resident Michael Voigt rallied back from finishing ninth in 2008 to take second place. His final score of 1178.2523 put him just over 19 points behind Leatham.
Taran Butler of Simi Valley, Calif., claimed third for the second year in a row by winning four stages and posting a final score of 1161.7933. Earlier this year Butler defeated Leatham to win the Western States Single Stack Classic.
Rounding out the top five were Para USA’s Todd Jarrett of Hopewell, Va., and Smith & Wesson team shooter BJ Norris of Tyler, Texas, in fourth and fifth shooting 1151.1429 and 1112.6781 respectively.
The Single Stack Nationals were established in 1994 as the Single Stack Classic by pistolsmith Richard Heinie, and then USPSA Illinois Section Coordinator, Russell Cluver. The match was designed specifically for the 1911 model pistol and no other pistol design is permitted in the competition. In 2006 USPSA designated the popular match as a national championship and it has remained the preeminent showcase for the venerable 1911 ever since.

SS Nationals
Below is an announcement from Bill Davis regarding details for the upcoming SS Nationals. This info went out in confirmation packets, but we've been getting calls here in the office, so Bill was gracious enough to provide the info here again for those of you who might have misplaced it. Please note: the USPSA office HQ cannot tell you what day you are shooting.
Thank you for entering the 2006 Springfield Armory Single Stack Classic/USPSA National Championship. We have increased the number of shooters per day and this will necessitate that all shooters register at the match motel and do so the night before they shoot (there will be no registration at the range in the mornings). The match hotel is the Holiday Inn in Quincy and registration will be from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. There will be a Surefire Defender Flashlight given to every shooter who registers at the match hotel at the designated registration time (friends cannot pick this up for you, it is an incentive for you to be there and register on time).
Unless otherwise notified, you have been squadded as you have requested. I will be emailing those of you who have given me an email address (provided I can read your writing) so that once the 2006 match is finished, I can email results. For your information, we are going to be functioning with 10 squads each day with 11 shooter per squad (no exceptions).
I suggest you go to the USPSA website, take a look, and download the rules for this provisional division. For those who have never been to Quincy/Barry there are maps on the 1911 Society website with a link at the bottom of the page.
If there are, any changes that need to be made in your schedule contact me at bdavis385@comcast.net or on my cell at (206) 353-5158. I live in Seattle, WA so remember that is Pacific Time.

Single Stack Holsters
Holster rules for the USPSA Single Stack Division will continue as written through 2006. The BOD felt it was in the best interest of the growth of 1911 Single Stack Division to not change any rules before 2007 if at all possible. The BOD is gathering data throughout 2006 to revise the rules for 2007 to keep the purpose and design of 1911 Single Stack Division from being diluted.
Expect changes in 2007.
Michael Voigt
USPSA President.
