Of course. I showed some of your video to a friend who is a basketball coach since I know you're working on faster movement. I can forward his observations privately - if you care. You might not want the distractions, or opinion.

I'm a lefty, so I run an ambi because I like riding it. I'll take the right side off for "weight making" measures, and the grips too. My plan is to weigh it with no grips or guide rod. Just a recoil spring on the scale with slide and frame. If it's still over weight, I believe we're gonna have a hard time making it legal.

That's okay. I'm about to get back into the gym and get into shape, I needed it for batch-cooking healthy meals anyway.

Damn! Duh...

Sigh...this again. In Production: IPSC prohibits all aftermarket coatings. USPSA has a more reasonable approach: it allows them as long as the finish doesn't add traction to the firearm and is strictly cosmetic. You're obviously not going to add grip inside your magwell, causing mags to hang up. The only place that would make sense would be on the slide, really. You're good.

$17 with Prime, arrives Monday. We'll see then. Accuteck All-In-One Series W-8250-50BS A-PT 50 Digital with AC Adapter (Silver) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SMHWZ42/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_qjJ8ybA84GYV2

I need a good scale. I'm curious to see if I can get the Stock 3 under weight with a poly guide rod and lightweight grips. (unless my scales grips turn out to be a lighter option, sand down the wood ones and add grip tape? What is the lightest grip out there? Copper's lava ones?) I'd shoot it in ESP (due to my frame mods to the magwell) if so, perhaps twice a year when I feel like slumming in IDPA.

Does anyone know of an Italian car that runs reliably without being excessively f**ked with? Me neither.

Pencil tests are almost hilariously imprecise indicators of what your gun will do in live fire. We only use them for lack of a better option. When working with a gun that won't function reliably, don't rely on pencil tests to indicate something so small - even changing hammer springs to something else with the same pencil launch height often actually changes DA reliability in live fire. Rely on live fire testing only.

It's dirty like titegroup, but very very to clean unlike the baked on carbon titegroup leaves. Burns cool, meters well through Dillons, and feeling/non-smoky like N320. What projectile type/weight and gun(s) are you shooting it through?

Agreed. If those are the guns you're looking at, shoot Production. In Limited I'd be looking at a CZ TacticalSport, a Tanfo Limited Elite, a Glock 35 with weight added... or the heavy hitter which is a 2011. All chambered in .40 If you're shooting 9mm then shoot Production.

I had already untrained myself from tucking my chin down in order to improve my performance, so they've worked great for me. The field of view is narrower than something like my old go-pro and ContourHE with fisheye lenses, but this has three upsides: 1. Things aren't distorted and overexposed: video quality is much improved. 2. Targets don't look unnaturally tiny and far away. What you see is what you shot. 3. Fisheyes make your running look slower. The larger field of view causes things not to zip by as quickly - sounds odd, but absolutely true. This is my fifth "hat cam" type device and they are by far my favorite. At the right time through super-tactical the standard Durango can be had for $129-149 making them one of the cheapest options out there. Audio quality is also twice as good as anything else. Gunshots actually sound like gunshots! That was the worst thing about the GoPro. My YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/memphismechanic

Well my gun eventually got cerakoted. But it didn't have any rust issues for three months left bare. They're tools, like a well-used hammer. Not showpieces.

Take a picture from the rear so we can see te thickness / contour?

Aaaaaaand that guy is welcome for the idea.

My Stock III polygonal barrel ...

My magwell-hogging-out thread, complete with photos and the blessing of DNROI via email: The gun is faster to reload than a Glock now. Went from worst to best, in Production.

Test it with live ammo and the stock plunger spring anyway. This has fixed more light-striking guns than anything else. My gun's contents have been posted often enough you probably know what's in it. It needs an EGD Medium to cook off CCIs, but Winchester primers run through it flawlessly on a 13# PD hammer spring.

The two locals I know who have run them have broken them within 3/6 months. Just a heads up, that's the reason they aren't more popular.

Yeah. It's the Winchester primers, not the vibraprime. I have to back him up on that. CCIs and Federals glide through a vibraprime perfectly. If I fill all nine of my tubes with 900 CCIs, I might have 2 or 3 primers hang up briefly and need a tap. With Winchesters? Well, you know that part of the story already. Not good times. (Apparently the PAL filler will work great with Winchesters, but for the price of ten vibraprimes it had better!)

Care to share any details here?

Honestly yes I do, when I coat one of my guns... simply because it's easier to polish off the overspray that it is to mask every surface inside the frame. If they mask off the interior better than I, you won't need to.

Post a photo!
