For optics on a budget, the weaver 1x3 is hard to beat. I would try the shotguns before you buy one to see what works best for you. I personally would take the 1100 over the benelli any day at much less cost. I actually prefer the weight of the 1100 to the benelli as well as the recoil being soaked up more with the 1100. Did come from a skeet background so use to shooting a 12pound shotgun so the 1100 dosent feel heavy at all to me. Runs 1oz loads all day without having to have the bolt lightened.

What kind of glock stuff were you looking for?

10.2.9 seems to be referring to leaving a shooting box ie shoot these targets from box, move to box b and shoot theses targets. Also define shooting location. How can you ever be sure of the exact same spot and how specific of a spot would it be unless it is defined by a shooting box.

You are allowed to step outside the shooting area, but all shots must be shot from within the shooting area. Does not state in the rule book you are unable to step outside the shooting area.

Glocks are amazingly simple to fully strip down. The rear sight can be punched in and out or most any shop will have a sight pusher and can install in just a few min. For sights, the dawson ones are nice as are the sevigney. Those are probibally the 2 most popular ones out there Have a link to the Summit glock 22s in my previous post.. they are 315 bucks

I like the adj dawson rear and FO front myself. I use the .100 wide. .300 tall front sight. The sevigneys are also a good sight but I like the dawsons a little better mainly because they look the same on the glock as they do on my 1911s instead of having 2 different sight pictures

http://www.summitgunbroker.com/G22_2nd_gen__.html glock 22 315 bucks, extra mags 10 bucks 40 minor is a very soft shooter for production since you reload

The way you get slide to go click on an empty chamber is you ride the release with your thumb like the thumb safety on a 1911

Never had a problem with mine at all

For someone on a tight budget just starting out a true fitting is probibally out of the budget. While not perfect, an adj comb alone can get you pretty close. It is easier to shoot some with the comb and get a style before going to the fitting. When I shot skeet a bunch, my gun was definately set up with the adj comb, butt pad and all that as I was after that extra bird a 500 round tournament or 2 and wanted to remove as many variables as possible and have the exact same mount every time. For someone new, the comb, and a pattern board will get you close enough to serve the purpose especially shooting the 12 ga in skeet with a 28-30 inch pattern. My 410 was patterning at 14 inches so very little room for error. With the comb, shims are a good way to switch POI from skeet to trap. Loosen comb, and go with a higher shim for trap and a lower one for skeet. You can then set up the shims where you have the same sight picture for each game and not have to worry about the verticle lead in trap. An instructor is a good idea but check references first if your paying for instruction. There are some out there, where they teach everyone to shoot the exact same way with the exact same hold points or exactly like they do. The ones you want are the instructors that will help decide what works best for you. What works for one person will not work for everyone. NSSA instructor also does not mean they are a quality instructor. To obtain that ranking requires very little other than paying to take a course. There are plenty of "non certified" instructors who are very good, and "certified" ones who are just awful. If instruction costs are out of the question, usually ask around at the local club and there is usually someone who can help get you started right for free.

Problem is they wont work with a techwell

In a 6 inch, get a lightened slide from the get go. Shot both a std 6inch and a lightened 6 inch and mine is getting cut as we speak. The std 6inch slide has more weight going back and forth and dosent seem to track as well and just jumps around more. The lightened slide one shot better for me and tracked alot better. If you want more weight up front, a tungsten guide rod will do it.

Files?

Sportmans in lex is a real trip sometimes. Saw a guy behind the counter showing off a single action revolver. After he was handed the gun back the idiot behind the counter decided to show off is single action skills, and attempted to do a twirl of the gun then cock the hammer. Gun ended up clanking off the floor. Sure enough, he picked it up and right back on the wall it went

It is just muscle memory. I tried a cmore on a 22 and it sits higher than the sights im use to so it took getting use to.

I would look for a used 1100 28/30 inch with chokes. Make sure it has a good recoil pad on it(can be added if it just has the plastic butt plate. If enough is left over, a good adj comb is nice as it works like an adj rear sight and allows you to set the gun up to shoot right for you. For skeet, I liked a 60/40 pattern, for trap I liked it 80/20 or 90/10 since the target is always climbing in trap the high shooting gun has the verticle lead built in.

You could always use your barrel as a case ga

Used a lula, round 19 leave on extra room and no chance at 20 The hanging up is also a big concern.

Was planning on building a 9mm SBR as my next project in the 7.5 inch range and add a can

Here is the 24 Im using. It started off as a frame off gunbroker for like 75 bucks. Has a lone wolf slide and barrel(blind marked), vanek trigger with the pretravel removed, Jager striker, Dawson adj rear and FO front sights, Dawson mag well, dawson extentions for 20+1 reloadable, Mag release that was cut down with a Dawson mag button tapped. Stippled frame and undercut trigger guard

I was just looking for a 19-20 round reliable. The way it is now 20 would have no chance of fitting and 19 is extremely tight to the point of having to smack it and shove very hard for everything past round 14 or so. Felt tight springs before but this is tight to the point it tears your thumb up with anything past 14-15. I have even tried factory springs which are shorter and still have the same thing. I will give it a try shortening one front to back to see how it goes before I switch over to grams which will probibally be happening next. The dawsons seem to be hanging in the mag so the first couple come out then it seems like its nosedving in the mag and the rounds are pointed straight out,not tilted up at all

STI tube, I probibally just scrap them and give grams a try. So much for going the easy way. Was hoping for 19 rounds that were reliable without trimming anything that dont lock back. Expensive lesson lol

Has anyone else had any problems with the Dawson/ismi combo. Tried them out for reliability and once it hits about round 14 they are very hard to load to the point if you dont use a mag loader your thumb will be torn up getting them. It right now can be crammed with 19 rounds but is very tight even with the SNL base pads in several mags. One mag tends to have problems where it feels like it is nosediving and sluggish getting pushed up. Is there an easy fix for this or just ditch the new parts and try another brand

Here is another one, Kid got a pretty good setup put together from the community here spray-Pray did a good job setting it up. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=117875&st=0
