Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Have an original XD Tactical milled for CO when it first began. Ran great when I was using it Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  2. In my case, distance Rx works fine for shooting with a dot
  3. Yes, many times at small local matches Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  4. Had my Shadow slide milled for DP PRO 2.5 dot. Have RTS 2 and STS 2. Bigger is better as far as lense size is my opinion Sent from my SM-G530R4 using Tapatalk
  5. Some barrels are just too hard to hand ream. Had same problem with an XD barrel. Called Dave Manson and after talking with him, sent reamer back for his inspection. Good guy, very helpful. Turns out barrel too hard and dulled reamer. He sent back all sharpened up and ready for next one. Left barrel alone - may send it off one of these days.
  6. Some barrels are just too hard for the throat reamer. Called Dave Mason when having trouble You most likely are referring to a Manson throat reamer. Called Dave Manson when my reamer would not cut barrel of my XD. Turns out barrel was too hard. Dave told me to send it to him and he would check out. Nothing wrong with the reamer but it had been dulled trying to cut the XD. Great guy to deal with. He sharpened and returned to me. I felt like an idiot for not being able to do this simple task.
  7. Looks like I need an optic sight for my glock. Lots out there. Would like suggestions from those who have experience with these sights - which one to buy and why they like it over others.
  8. Wish you were closer - would sell you mine just took off.
  9. Yep, sounds like you just need more lead on the targets. Choke tubes will help you dial in a pattern that will work for you and give you some flexability. Lots of places install choke tubes. Do your homework in checking out who you choose to do the work. A bad choke tube installation will make you very unhappy.
  10. Boy, you guys need to lighten up some. The idea was to do something a little different,have some fun and maybe get a few of the old shooters to come out. That was accomplished. Basically it WAS A HOOT. The best shooter in our club organized, did most of the work, and used his own targets (Thanks Chad). No donations were taken - basically it was FREE (except for the considerable rounds expended). I know of no attendee who did'nt have a good time. I had just taken a class from Manny on Fri and must admit I wasn't applying much of his teachings - but geez, it was a good time. PS: Had Manny not had to get home for his daughters graduation - he would have been there too - I'm confident that he too would have found it to be lots of fun.
  11. Thanks for the replys - great info - just what I needed.
  12. Gonna buy some Wilson SS mags. Can get the Elite Tactical about same price as 47D's. Have some questions: 1 Will both function well with a S&A magwell? 2 Is one heavier than the other? 3 If experience with both, which one would you recommend for USPSA competition Bill
  13. In the Corrections to USPSA Handgun Competition Rules of January 2008 it says: Since a legal holster prevents access to the trigger and I'm only dealing with my entire gun belt or paddle holster and not manipulating the gun, I don't see how 10.5.1 applies. Even if people argue that at some point I may have to touch the gun while removing the belt or holster, the trigger is still not accessible. Another response I can think of is "yes", but rule cited is 10.5 in general for unsafe gun handling, instead of the more specific 10.5.1. This is since 10.5 is not an exclusive list, but simply a list of examples. In this case, I refer back to the definition of "handling", and again it looks like I'm not "handling" the firearm by the definition of "handling". I'm straining hard here to make the answer be "yes", but it looks more and more like the answer is "no". Can anybody with a lot more RO training/experience guide me into the correct way of thinking here? Anyway, to avoid the issue entirely, I always go to the safety area first to case my gun if ever I need to take my belt off. Guys, its a simple case of priorities. If nature dictates speed to the facility and bagging would be a problem you can either fill your pants or do what you have to do and risk the DQ. Myself, I would risk the DQ
  14. Bought a used unit - runs great but the bowl has ring around media level line of built up media/cleaner. Hard as a rock. Doesn't seem to affect the functionality but would like to get it off. Tried basic cleaners - no go. Bill
