Was this a case of under-promise and over-deliver?

Sneaking commentary about actual issues onto Enos? Well done sir.

The issue isn’t finding a trigger in this price range. It’s that blowback 9mm guns utilize a much heavier bolt moving more rapidly than a gas-operated rifle caliber. Handgun calibers are much harder on the action. In particular, the trigger. There are a lot of very good, expensive triggers that will die quickly if they’re run in a 9mm gun.

Fixed that little mistake for you.

Drop the slide on am empty chamber all you want, it won’t cause that.

These have got to be marketed to the GunFighterDeathStalker Shooting School’s customers. I can’t conceive of any other market. “I really want to appendix carry a gun each day which is the size of a Glock 19, but weighs as much as one that’s made out of tungsten.”

Too late. @B_RAD already bought two. They’ll be up for sale in six weeks in the Classifieds.

You want the plunger spinning to make it a very quick and very high quality job. Chuck it in a drill and shape it with static sandpaper/ file / etc.

Shoot the stage the same way with a DA gun that you would with any other gun. You’ll be shocked how much it doesn’t matter.

@PatJones definitely. The majority of our shots are 15yds and in, and making them has far more to do with grip & trigger than what you’re focused upon. Once you start talking about 15yd head boxes or minipoppers past 20yds, that may change. Of course. Obviously.

I do as @motosapiens does, but I now smear a light coat of chapstick on the lens rather than use tape. I can see well enough with that eye to do more than I could with scotch tape, but not enough for my mind to mix up the sights. A bonus is that it wipes off in an instant if you need both eyes for any reason.

Paging @alma

I’ve run probably a thousand shooters at locals in the past decade without being a certified RO, and I’m certainly not alone.

@NoSteel more like... “damn man, you REALLY don’t like changing calibers on a 650, do you?”

Interesting enough, IDPA CO allows a lot of things. It’s their Open. My PPQ with a milled-to-hell slide is legal there! It’s still IDPA though, so I’ve only done it once.

Something like this is more than sufficient. Comes in handy next time you’re wondering if an outlet in your home is really live or dead, a 9v battery is good, or exactly why your car won’t start.

That’s correct. You cannot adjust the way the case rim interfaces the shellplate. With a bearing upgrade to allow the plate to he tightened down fully, your average OAL variation with random, worn, mixed 9mm brass is wide enough to bother a lot of reloaders. For example, I’d see 1.130”-1.138” if I set the press up for 1.130” with an empty shellplate.

DESCRIPTION The Task Force Ranger represents a complete redesign of the flat-faced pre-travel reduction Glock trigger. We designed it with three things in mind. Safety. The design of this trigger shoe leaves all three Glock safeties in place when properly installed. We increased the trigger safety length by 1/16th of an inch, broadened the safety head and conformed the head to the curve of the polymer frame it sits against. All of this provides internal safety stability and takes away movement and wobble. Secondly, we increased the trigger bar pocket 5 degrees allowing the trigger shoe to move forward just enough to force the cruciform onto the safety ledge. The result of these two changes makes this one of the safest after-market flat-faced triggers in the industry. Reliability. In this design, we removed the roll pin safety and spring retention and made this a one-sided Allen set screw. After application of Loctite, this Allen screw will NOT move. It is flush with the outer wall of the shoe and can be removed to exchange trigger safeties. The trigger pull maintains the Glock factory poundage of about 5.5 lbs however, the pretravel is eliminated and when the trigger safety is depressed you are “at the pull wall”. The rubbery pull associated with a Glock trigger is gone, no more sandy, gritty, pre-travel to go through. It is a stable platform that will enhance your trigger pull. The “polymer wobble” is gone. Trigger reset is a very distinct click both via hearing and feel.

While it’s a quirk in the rules to make space for guns which can only be decocked mechanically, anyone who Practices much will quickly realize there’s no actual benefit to such a gun over one without a decocker.

It’s required to go to hammer FULLY down if you’re doing it manually. If the gun mechanically arrives at this position via a decocking lever, that is permissible. Source: Appendix D4 (Production Rules)

The fact that you can slip a 1/4” socket extension onto the back of the reamers you had made was brilliant. I used that feature to cut my PCC’s barrel with ease without pulling it out of the upper. (I still have the dummy round I drilled & tapped for a cleaning rod to do a plunk test, too! )

People who want to win when a match strongly favorites a 10rd capacity, and don’t own a 9mm.

You sure about that? https://practiscore.com/results/new/90343?q_division=8 (This was the very first Area match I found with a a quick practiscore search.)

@Salsantini @BartCarter I did the same thing that Bart did, I simply used a small clamp instead of pliers . @SergioSF... Here’s where my ejection port ended up. Hogged it out with a carbide burr on a dremel, then cleaned it up with a selection of hand files. The ejection port on a factory Guard upper (which is what I’m running!) is already widened. Because I was having erratic ejection from cases bouncing off the rim of the opening, I chose to go the extra mile and really open it up. I also extended it forward until you can see a bit of the barrel extension. I did this early on while building this franken gun to attempt to fix issues that were magazine-height related back when I was running colt mags. It didn’t help at the time, but I’m glad I did it because I’ll never wonder if a small port caused a malfunction.

I’m running a blitzkrieg buffer meant for a .308 (not for a blowback PCC) and a sprinco red spring, destroked with a fistful of quarters.
