I would think the minimum barrel length is to keep you from swing the barrel out of the stand.

Lol best comment ever.
When you go to the drag strip never underestimate the old primer painted car. Sometimes the plain ones are faster than you think.
I will shoot the Glock instead of posing with a 2011
(Part of me keeps looking at the classifieds for a 2011 though......)

I see a lot of people offer work on other models. Any recommendations for work at a decent price. In not looking to spend big money on this slide.

Who can tell me how the grip angle of a Glock 34 MOS compares to the grip angle of a CZ Shadow 2 Optics Ready?
They are not very close. I didn't shoot optics.

I'm thinking about buying a lightened Rock slide and a KKM barrel to go on my Production 17 frame.
I have the Holster , Mags and Magwell already..
I'm wanting to start shooting again. I'm hoping going to limited would spark my interest. I usually shoot very well but screw up executing a complicated production stage plan
Any opinions about about shooting the 22 in limited.

I am about 3 months in moving from a 34 to a Stock 2. Others have said this, but I wonder if a number of people give it a couple of months, then give up on change an go back to what they know?
Initially I loved the trigger and wrote other things off to being new. After a bit you want those "other things" to disappear and get on with your shooting. I've been in that spot of late. Having only ever shot Glocks seriously I believe it will take some time until I can totally relax and forget about the gun. I'm planning 6-9 months minimum before I make any decisions.
Regardless of the gun, I'm still working on myself. If I do go back to the Glock I firmly believe that I will be better for the experience.
I went to a CZ SP01 shadow for a year then bought the Shadow 2. I always hated both guns but thought I would eventually come around. The gun shoots great it's just everything else that's a problem for me.

I'm back from CZ to a Glock 17. I shoot the CZ marginally better but do everything else much better with the Glock. I could not get the CZ reloaded any faster than 1.2 I have got some high . 90s with the Glock @4yds.
I shoot the Glock faster than the CZ. I just can't take the long shots quite as well.

You posted the picture implying it was relivant to our discussion.
357 rifle twist has nothing to do with shooting a pistol bullet subsonic.
In done replying to this. I posted what works for me with many years of experience casting bullets for rifle and pistol. If you don't like my advice don't use it.

You are getting gas cutting because bullet undersize. The rifling mark looks good. Where did it slip in the rifling?
I gave no advice for Glock factory barrel.
You may have an issue trying to push bullets to 124PF with a 1in10. I have none with 1 in 16.

There's a lot of misleading info in that post. I hate to see someone misled by stuff like this.
- you do NOT need to buy an aftermarket barrel to shoot lead in a Glock. Choose bullets that fit the bore, and avoid soft swaged bullets, and the Glock barrels are just as good as any aftermarket barrel and better than most.
- There is definitely such thing as "too soft" with lead bullets for 125 PF, both in Glock and aftermarket barrels. 10-12 BHN is fine but softer than that gives up accuracy in 9mm even in very light loads. Commercial swaged lead bullets are typically 5-6 Bhn, being made from nearly pure lead, avoid that stuff. Most commercial cast bullets are in the 18+ Bhn range for reference, while a lot of us bullet casters go with 10-12 or so.
- 1:16 twist is plenty for 147gr bullets, and MUCH heavier than that. I even use it with 180gr bullets in 9mm subsonic loads. If anything it's actually a bit fast for the lighter 9mm bullet weights.
I stand by my post.
You are confusing a problem with poor lube carrying ability of swaged bullets with lead hardness. I have cast plenty of bullets from stick on wheel weights. Leading is not a problem and accurracy is no different than harder bullets. Traditional lube works fine and powder coated will take these soft bullets even higher in velocity. The lack of sufficient lube is the problem with swaged.
As far as twist goes 1 in 16 is to slow for best accurracy with most 147gr bullets.
I have a custom set of molds for my Ballisticast. They are very short 147gr bullets. These shoot great in 1 in 16. Most people will have access to the Magma 147gr style that is much longer. This style starts to suffer at 25yds.
My 147 great requires the barrel to be throated to get proper OAL.

I use KKM barrels becasue I am a lead bullet shooter. I have seen a lot of different twist rates quoted by people using KKM barrels. Best I can tell mine is 1 in 16.
First off there is no lead to soft for pistol velocities in the 125 PF.
This twist is not going to shoot 147gr bullets with the best accurracy.
It preforms best in the 130 and lighter bullets. Lead is less forgiving than jacketed with twist rate.
I use a throating reamer and shoot .357 diameter bullets.
Just some of my reasons for using a KKM barrel. If I were shooting Jacketed I would not spend the money.

I'm taken a chance. Already ordered it

If I buy a OEM Slide from Lone Wolf will Stainless be legal for carry optics

Thanks for the reply. I have been shooting production. Been off the pistol shooting for about a year. I'm shooting a match this week end with the 24. Im new to limited and want to see how th 24 handles. It will give me some direction on a big frame build.
I work in ballistics for a ammunition manufacture and shoot the big frame glocks a lot. The bigger grip fits my hand better.
-
I went back to glock. I bought a 17 for production and a 24 for Limited. I have seen some info on building a 40cal from a 10mm.
Im guessing throating the barrel long will help keep the bullets from nose diving in the mag.
I would like to hear from some people that have done this. I really like the feel of the big frame glock. I just grip them better.

Been out of uspsa about a year. To get motivated I bough a Glock to try Limited. I have a class coming up in April.
Just looking for any tips
-
Before some one points it out, I know the tape is upside down. It gives me a better grip that way.
-
There is no doubt the CZ is more accurrate. I drive the Glick harder and feel that I shoot it more accurately especially on the move. I have lost the "Want" to shoot USPSA. I just bought A 24 to try Limited. Hoping to get a match in before long.

All the mods in the world are no substitute for skill. The best shooter will still win out.
That is true but...... It could change his mind about which gun he chooses to shoot.

Bought a Gen 3.

Not interested in looking at anything else. I have decided I want glock to play around in Limited too.
I have drank the kool-aide and looking for another glass!

I have one that I have been using for my spotting scope. It is very sturdy.
I have only shot from it one time. Its really stable with my 13lb+ 22 voodo. Its a skill i need to work on.
The quality is top notch. I love it.
