    N320

    Thanks for your help guys. Looks like I got the last two 4 pounders from 3rd Generation. Hopefully their inventory was accurate!

    N320

    Has anyone run across any N320 lately? Need to order ~8 lbs.
  3. I shoot at one of the PCC "test clubs". We have offered PCC as a division for the last two months. I didn't get to shoot in December, but I did shoot our January match last weekend with my PCC. Two or three other guys ran their PCCs as well, including one of our club's GMs who ran his PCC and his single stack. The GM shot 77% of his PCC with his single stack. The stages were usual USPSA stages and were not favored towards the rifles in any way. There were a few stages were I had the opportunity to take 25 yd. shots instead of running to the end of the stage like I would have with my production gun. I have never really ran a rifle before and just got my PCC in a few days before the match. It was an absolute blast and one of the best times I have ever had shooting. I have A LOT to work on with my PCC, namely reloads, transitions, and finding the dot quickly. In the overall results, I actually finished a little behind where I would have expected to finish with my production gun, but I hadn't been able to shoot for the past year after having a daughter. We still have a few details to work out with shooting PCC at our club, but so far it has been successful AND it's fun. I see no problem with adding it as a division and am all for it.
  4. Looks like my iPhone rotates the pictures!
  5. Got a JP GMR-13 in this week. Got to shoot it yesterday and run a mock stage. Great gun! It's like shooting a pellet gun. Relatively quiet and the dot doesn't move much at all!
  6. I have an extra striker and other spare parts for the M&P. I shoot a Shadow now, so I could probably part with them. Let me know if you're interested.
  7. I take it that you missed the part where I said I use them in practice.I take it you missed the post right before mine. That's the one I was replying to You're right, my bad!

  9. Where did you get the longer set screw at?
  10. Actually.....if you are shooting against me in Production at Area 6 tomorrow, don't worry about putting your rear sight back on. Most of the targets are pretty easy and it will just get in the way!
  11. Same thing happened to mine two days ago! I centered it and used lots of blue Loctite. You should be able to find my thread.

    Shadow Rear Sight

    I would listen to Stuart. This is common practice and he is a (very good) gunsmith. If you deform the dovetail (of the sight, not the slide) enough you won't be able to get it in. It isn't a bandaid, it's a standard way of getting the rear to stay where it's put. I was going to suggest it too when I read the OP. Yes, he is a great gunsmith, but I am not. He worked all of his magic on this gun. I guess I should have said that it would be a bandaid since I would be doing the work. I have a month between majors, so maybe I'll see if I can do anything before I buy a new one.

    Shadow Rear Sight

    Mine isnt, with the set screw out, I still have to pound it with a brass punch in a vise to get it to move. That's what I figured. Stuart told me to move some metal with a brass punch to make it "bite" in the dovetail, but that just seems like a bandaid. Guess I'll have to order a new rear sight when I get back from Atlanta. I honestly didn't expect something like this to happen to a 3 month old, 3,000 round gun, BUT I'm glad I found it before the match. Let's just hope that it holds.

    Shadow Rear Sight

    While practicing last night, the competition rear sight on my Shadow came loose. I'm actually thankful it happened then since that was the last run I was going to make before packing up my gun and heading to Area 6. The sight was really loose in the dovetail, which seems unusual. I could easily move it to either side of the dovetail where it would almost fall out. We pulled the sight, cleaned the area, and put blue Loctite in the dovetail and on the set screw. I let it set up for 20 minutes or so and then ran 100 rounds to see if it would hold. Everything seems to be fine now. Should the rear sight be that loose in the dovetail? Surely they don't rely on just the set screw to hold it in. I'm a little nervous about taking the gun to Area 6 now, but hopefully it holds up.
