TacticalReload Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Okay... I just picked up a new Glock 24. As of now, it's bone stock and has yet to be fired (I'm working on that part ). I think this will be the basis for a Limited set up. But as of right now, I've only been shooting IDPA so I'm a "Production Class" kind of guy. Therefore, I'm a little nervous about buying the wrong thing. My G34 wears a CGR race cut Bomar rear mated with a Dawson fiber optic .105" front. I like this setup and will probably go with it again for the G24 unless someone can come up with a valid reason not to. Above and beyond that, my G34 is pretty much stock so I haven't experimented with other stuff to put on the G24. I'm considering a tungsten guide rod, 13# spring (too light?), and brass magwell. I haven't yet decided on the brand of mag baseplates -- but the mags I will have will probably all have the #6 followers so I guess I should plan accordingly. Also, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to race holsters. Any help anyone can give me would be GREATLY appreciated. In the meantime, I will continue searching and reading this forum for other opinions. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 - CR Speed holster - EricW's Tru-Grit grip tape - Get rid of the factory sight and put on the sights of your choice. - do the "$0.25 tigger job" - Start reloading with 180g bullets and TiteGroup powder - lose the "extended" slide stop/release...replace it with an stock, non-extended version. - buy a variety of recoil spring weights...see what you notice when you try them out. (edit: I'd skip the tungsten rod) Practice and dry fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturmruger Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I would go to a couple of USPSA matches and see what some of the other shooters have on their Glocks. I think your sight choices are perfect. I would look at the Grams or Arredondo base pads. For a mag well I would look at the new magwell that Tom Novak is selling.

skeeter Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 as always flex hit the nail on the head.( although i like universal clays myself). the Dawson sights are raelly cool and a lot of shooters around here are using them. but just get what you like.

TacticalReload Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 Thanks, folks, for the help so far. Speaking of reloaded ammo... I've been brainwashed into thinking that 180grain bullets + stock Glock .40 barrel + major = kB! I'm gonna have to get over that fear, huh? I think an aftermarket barrel might be in my future down the road, but at this point, I'm gonna hold off on that purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used 180FMJ's in front of 5.8 grains of Universal Clays. Easily made PF and no KB's or pressure signs. You could certainly load down with the new PF.

awleland Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 A 24 makes for a great limited gun. I have my 24 set up the following way: Dawson FO front with Heinie rear THE Brass magwell Stainless Guide Rod with 19# spring 0.25 cent trigger job Caspian slide with Storm Lake Barrel THE extended mag release CR Speed Holster is a great way to go. Stipled grip. This setup works really great. I use bullets that just meet PF and the 19# spring really keeps the pistol in battery as long as possible and really softens the recoil. I just got some Dawson plus four pads and I am very pleased with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kline Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I'll be getting a 24 next week and I'm looking at playing with it (for fun mostly) in Limited. Ive been shooting my 34 in Production for 7 months and would like to keep the same point of aim and index. I'll was thinking about adding: Sevigny sights trigger job either Novak or brass magwell tungsten rod lightened recoil spring grip tape CR Speed holster removing weight in slide to mimick G35 slide weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
