Another one.... I must know myself, not as I would ideologically like to be, but as I actually am, however ugly or beautiful, however jealous, envious,acquisitive. -Krishnamurti

Me too. This one especially.... Belief is one thing and "what is" is another. Belief is a word, a thought, and this is not the thing, any more than your name is actually you. -Krishnamurti Ther have been several, but this was the most recent.

I'm still here!!! Pm sent

Thanks for your interest!!! By definition it is a permanent modification to the receiver & NOT legal for Prod./SSP. Daniel

Never had a problem with the standard frame Glocks/Win primer/Wolff spring. Only experienced this sort of thing with the large frames(G20,G21). Skeeter is right on about seat depth. Make sure they are below flush & you should be good to go. In the long run, save the trouble & go Federal on your primers. You might get a drop in velocity so chrono asap when you make the change. Daniel

I believe the liteweight frame is the reason Glocks have less perceived recoil. Some say it's the grip angle but in my experience a G21 with a grip reduction recoils exactly the same as one with a full grip. Though the low bore axis doesn't hurt, either Daniel

Great match! When you consider that this was the first LA state match & the crew was inexperienced at putting on a big match......things went very,very well. I liked the straight forward no hocus-pocus stages as well. As for my experience...... No PE's No HTN's Only 37 pts down 2nd SSP/MM .........and got bumped to SSP/SS Even though shooting in the same squad as Matt Sims (1st CDP/MA 2nd best score behind Jerry M) & Scott Randolph ( 2nd CDP/MA ) made me feel really, really slow! Daniel Tripp

I highly recommend Wolff springs. The reduced striker/extra power trigger spring will take roughly 1 1/4lb off your trigger pull. With this caveat, the large frame glocks( 20,21 etc.) can be quite choosie about primers with this striker spring. The rest ( 17,19, etc.) will still light off just about anything in my experience. Hope this helps. Daniel

1. Classify Expert in ESP 2. Make LA, AL & Southern Regional matches 3. Make the Nationals 4. Get my "Glocksmithing" business off the ground ( with the help of a couple of Master Class shooters) 5. Lose 20 pounds! 6. Have a lot of fun!!!

If the pistol will be carry AND competition I would still set it up as to be strictly a carry gun. As if competition wouldn't be a factor. Heinie Slant-pro's Race-Cut from Custom-Glock Racing (Simply the best, my g19 has the same basic sight picture as my g34) 3.5 connector (Ghost Rocket 3.5 fitted for reduced over-travel, but stock will work just fine) Not a big believer in aftermarket "titanium/lightened" this & that even for competition. Ghost is the only non-stock part I will use(other than springs) when putting a 2.5 trigger on a Glock. A Glock just doesn't need much. JMHO Daniel Tripp

I'm with scooterj. The Heinie/Dawson combo is tough to beat Daniel

Ready Tactical by Chris Stewart www.pistolpacking.com I've a Belt-Slide for my G17 & a paddle for my G23. No complaints at all. Daniel

Ready Tactical by Chris Stewart. Holsters are similiar to Ky-Tac (without the wait ). His mag carriers are second to none for speed yet still very secure. Available from www.pistolpacking.com Daniel

Ditto EricW---Kimber & glock are the way to go. I love a good 1911, but I have to admit they will test your patience. I'm a recent Glock convert after years of Colt's & S&W's that choke & vomit at the worst times. In short, if you must have a 1911, go Kimber ( Custom II ) if you are trully on a budget ( Believe me I understand BUDGET ) go with a Glock 17 ( used or new ). You won't regret it!!! SPDan

Ordered a Sooper Hooper II & three mag pouches back in Nov, same thing. Even left two messages on his answering machine, still nothing. I've since went with another brand & may send kytac stuff back for a refund.......whenever it arrives. If there's some type of problem not of his making I'm cool with that, but just not responding?
