Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Ah, OK. I guess that makes sense
  2. Seems like the Delta Point is the preferred optics around here, I wonder why everyone seems to offer cut slides for the RMR?
  3. Thanks everyone. Does anyone make a slide already milled for the Delta Point? Do the custom milled slides get the dot lower than the stock MOS models?
  4. Hi All, Looking to move into carry optics and have a gen2 G17. I've seen a lot of machined slides for gen 3's.Are gen 2 and gen 3 compatible as far as slides go? thanks.
  5. quick update: We've been spending a lot time at the range and at home working on safety, grip strength and stance and I'm excited to report we're planning our first match together at the end of the month. thank you all for the advice. TB
  6. Thanks again for the info. We made another range trip today but unfortunately, I did not check here to see the new responses. I tried a 13# recoil spring but that didn't seem to change anything. The gun runs fine for me so I think it's a strength / stance issue for my son. We'll work on stance and grip with some dry fire practice and me cycling the slide. For the folks running an 11 lb recoil spring, did you also change the striker spring? How low can you go? thanks again. -todd
  7. Thank you for the response. I'll give those ideas a try on our next range trip. I have a friend with a lighter recoil spring he'll let me borrow to try as well. thanks again.
  8. Hi All, My 10 year old son is starting to shoot pistol (22lr) after attending a few matches with me as a spectator. I worked up some sub-minor 9mm loads with 2.7 gr of WST and a 145 gr Bayou coated RN bullet for him to try. It's very soft and when I fire it, the gun functions (ejects the brass about 2-3 feet at most) but when my son fires it, it will fail to eject every time (limp wristing?). I've tried loads up to 3.0 gr of WST with no change in function. We're working on his grip and strength but my question is would a lighter recoil spring help this issue? It's a bone stock gen 2 G17 with factory captured recoil spring. I've not chrono'd the loads so I'm guessing they are sub-minor. I'm shooting in Limited with a 40S&W so the 9mm minor loading and production class is new for me. thanks.
  9. Thanks Scott. I didn't notice that before. It would be for a 1911 slide and the DP uses 4 locators at the 4 corners. If I did it right, here is a photo of the original slide:
  10. thanks for the responses and pics guys. Does anyone machine them with the locator pins like the Leupold base rather than the just a flat surface with the mounting screw holes?
  11. A couple years ago I had Matt Cheely machine my slide to low mount a Deltapoint and he did a fantastic job. I'm very happy. I want to have another slide machined the same way but unfortunately Matt is not currently taking on this type of work. Does anyone else do this type of machining? thanks.
  12. Matt does outstanding work. I'm sure you'll love it. Saving up for a new Open gun. -todd
  13. Hi everybody, It's been awhile since I updated my results here. I've continued to test and I think I've settled in on the following load: 8.6 grains of Viht. 3N37 is averaging about 1380 FPS with a 125 Zero JHP loaded to 1.23" oal. I'm using CCI Small Pistol primers with no pressure signs. This load is very accurate in my pistol and the dot movement seems pretty good. thanks, -todd
  14. Thanks guys. I loaded up some at 8.4 gr and 8.5 gr with a CCI SPP to try next time out. I'd also like to try some with SRP. How far should I back the load off to switch to a SRP. My last tested load was 8.3 gr with a SPP which chrono'ed at 1325 avg. thanks, -todd
  15. Thanks for the quick reply O1. It sounds like maybe I need to try some N105. I've got a 4lb jug of 3N37 that I got from a friend so I was hoping I could make that work. I have some Win SRP so I can give those primers a try also and keep working my up carefully. Thanks for the input. -todd
