Pretty sure they are M4-0.7.

Factory ammo? My first thought would be a high primer, but I dunno. Not familiar with the gun at all.

I had a friend with a Ph.D in metalurgy who shot USPSA. His lube of choice (and subsequently mine) was 30 wt motor oil. That was in the context of handguns, don't know about AR's or anything else.

I get that for sure.

Well Trace? This thread is nearly a year old and I haven't seen you at a match yet. What's the hold up? I shoot Triple C fairly often, Jacob's Plain has a good match every month and Texarkana has a 600 yd match every other month. C'mon out and shoot!

I shot my first couple matches with and AR-15 in 6.5 Grendel and while I didn't do well, that was mostly my fault for being a newbie with rifles. But I'm getting better with experience and knowing what to practice. 2 of the 3 local matches in my area don't go past 600 yds, which shouldn't be a problem technically for any reasonably accurate rifle. The trick and the education comes in learning to shoot in various positions and conditions. That's why we're doing it, to learn.

I know a number of people who have used an adapter mount that fits in the rear sight dovetail and they don't seem to have issues with it. I tried it for a while but didn't care for it. I had my slide milled for the dot. All that is just to say you might as well try a dovetail mount and see if it works out. If you don't like it isn't that great an investment, and possibly you could sell it. I would definitely look for a dot with dimensions close to those of the Romeo 1 so you could use it in the slide cut out if you want to.

Ok, thanks guys.

I thought if your holster was not in the position required for whatever division you're shooting in, you were moved to Open division for that match. A friend had more than the maximum 2" between inner belt and gun and was told if they didn't fix it before the start signal they would get a zero for that stage, then be given a chance to fix it. Is that how it works?

After posting my question above I used my Google machine, turns out there are dozens (or more) templates available for cutting your preferred grippy solution.

Just by coincidence, I milled a G35 slide for a JPoint dot and it has a notch in the rear which lines up with my front sight. However, I have never once, ever, actually used it. Today's dots a very reliable, just change the battery once in a while.

Any Glock Gen3 patterns available on the net someplace?

I'm hardly an expert as the P320 was the first striker gun I've owned. I did use a 13 lb spring for a while but always felt it was a little to light. Of course I don't have any way to empirically back that up, but I know if I moved the gun forward quickly there was a little feeling of the slide moving backwards. I'd PM someone like Alma Cole or Yong Lee, who have a ton of competition experience with these guns.

For $30 somethin' bucks it's pretty hard to beat the TTI system.

There is probably some sort of tolerance stack up issues going on with all the reports of "works 100% in this gun, but not in that gun." I tried 2 different .40 mags for a G35 and couldn't even get them in the gun without almost pounding them in. This was with the mags unloaded. But I also have 3 of their G17 mags for the same G35 with KKM 9mm barrel and these worked perfectly. I will say that ETS was great to deal with when I had issues with the .40 mags. Sent me a prepaid label to print and return the mags, and when one went missing in the mail they just said, "No problem".
