Sees Target (5/11)

  1. Oh and if you like the Mantis(spelling) stuff they had at least 3 booths, so they may have some deals coming up.
  2. Agree, and Dillon just keeps banking on the name and brings nothing new to the table and just looks at you like you are stupid just asking if anything new might be in the works. I will most likely be up grading to mark 7 at some point. I wouldn't if i still had my first 1050, sold it to help a friend, the newer replacement 1050 has been nothing but a pain.
  3. Got the Glock performance trigger, have not done any live fire yet, but after a bit of dry fire I'm not impressed. Think just a TTI grandmaster kit and some polishing is what works for me.
  4. I really haven't had a chance to put to many rounds thru it yet. So far no issues.
  5. Small straight blade screwdriver and a small pair of needle nose pliers is all I've needed.
  6. TTI, for the price are hard to beat, always on sale around most holidays. No matter the brand find someone with a mag gauge before going to a level 2 and up match.
  7. I found the same, tight chamber and short, with coated really need to check and load short.
  8. I will second the Springfield being a good starter 2011, the 4.25 I have has been good. I feel you about not be the tinker type, but after having one I started to. My thought was I have other guns to play the game with and was willing to try doing a few things. I did the trigger, drop in kit from Infinity, only thing that didn't work was the leaf spring, too short to catch the sear. If you can take a CZ apart the 2011 shouldn't be anything to be worried about. Or pay a bit more and go with the Staccato, good track record for working out of the box.
  9. I was too stupid to say NO. Old match director ghosted the club, I had only been shooting with them for little over a year, but had more competition shooting under my belt then anyone else(new club). About a month out from the first match of the year, not sure why, but the new guy every one was an ass too was getting called. Note to clubs, don't be an ass to new shooters, they could save your club. What do we do? 5 years latter match numbers are up 70%, high earner for the host range five years in a row. I now have in place a core group of guess match directors to take a little bit of load off of me. With progress come consequences, now having trouble finding anyone willing to take over, host club wants more, as in can you do steel challenge and USPSA and IDPA and 3 gun, no, no,no! At some point you need to say no. I know it is my fault, when I took over the club it was a mess, no structure, no one really knew the rules for the game they wanted to play(witch has been the biggest issue). At one point last year I set up the match with 2 or 3 people helping, got all the tablets going and got everyone registered and shot the match as a walk on shooter, just walked up to a squad and shot. I really miss shooting, it was so much fun, was the best I've shot at my own club in 5 years, didn't even plan on shooting that day, but winning a match in flip flops is fun.
  10. I like sport pistol, cleaner that 231, can't remember my 147 load, but for 125 Gallant coated 3.9-4.0 grains should be close. I'm now loading for gen 5s so I load way shorter then the gen 3 will take. My load currently is 4.2 grains sport pistol @ 1.100", mixed range pick up brass and a CCI 500. At my home range works to run 137 Power factor in a gen 5 17 and 132 power factor in a gen 5 19.
  11. Get a 15# recoil spring on a stainless guide rod and 4.5# striker spring. After that some 147gr coated bullets and pick a powder that works (lots of options). 3 ish grains of titegroup is a good starting point.
  12. Also the "purple" syntech is loaded to match HST defensive ammo for practice, the "red" syntech is loaded to match the American Eagle FMJ line, other than the stuff marked Action Pistol with the USPSA logo.
  13. The "normal" Syntech is loaded closer to FMJ range ammo velocities the the "Action Pistol" USPSA stuff, but is a bit cheaper than FMJ, and from the little I've shot is good stuff, it may not be as close to the power factor floor as the "action pistol" stuff.
