Sees Sights

Sees Sights (6/11)

  1. I use ISMI 11 pound Glock 17 springs and cut off a coil or two ( I had several laying around). They look very similar to what the EGW guide rod comes with. My gun is also a 4.25 and it also felt oversprung with the EGW flat wire 12.
  2. I have a 4.25 and was getting an occasional double. It has EGW guts and Red Dirt trigger and had an extremely short, but still very pronounced reset. I'm not sure if the gun was doubling or I was bump-firing (or maybe they are essentially the same), but I would get an unintentional third shot with a FAST split when raging on close targets. Adding sear spring tension helped, but it didn't completely go away. I backed out my overtravel screw two full turns and solved the problem. While I really liked the super short reset, I suspect it was too short for my own good. I have the EGW guide rod and use 11 pound Glock springs with some coils removed (I think I ended up at 1.5). Reducing the spring never helped the doubling.
  3. He has claimed in the past that staff reset is easy to pull off, but I think in different areas it would be tricky. I don't really car about staff reset. The only time I really don't like resetting (as a shooter) is when there is freshly painted steel. Having a staff guy with gloves designated to do this would be nice.
  4. I don’t doubt it, but that was probably red hot +P or +P+, not average hollow point ammo commonly found.
  5. Well in one of his books I read, he said something to the effect that pistols suck for manstopping.
  6. It's not an opinion - if minor PF is increased, there will be fewer factory ammo options.
  7. My carry ammo (Hornady Critical Defense) advertises 1135 fps, which is 130.5 PF. I haven't choreographed it, but from my experience, advertised velocity is often optimistic. My LO ammo is 132 PF.
  8. It's a horrible idea. Quite a bit of factory ammo is already iffy PF-wise. Increasing minor will make an already not-great ammo situation a lot worse.
  9. I think I will shoot more IDPA in 2024.
  10. I wouldn't pin a grip safety. The "but not limited to" wording in 8.1.7.4 allows an opening for an AC or MD to claim that pinning is not allowed. I have no idea why IDPA dropped "grip safety" from their list of safety devices that can't be disabled or removed, unless it was to allow factory non-grip safety 1911s and 2011s (like say, arguably, an EDC X9).
  11. Agreed - that’s one reason I would like to see 15 in USPSA CO. Different mag capacities = different stage plans = more interesting. Tac loads nearly disappeared when IDPA dropped the round dumping nonsense and especially later when they changed to allowing dumping a mag with one in the chamber, but it is still occasionally useful, even with a 10 round gun.
  12. Yeah if you have a good tac load in your tool box, SSP definitely opens up some options.
