My Daughter did her Basic Training there...2004....the weathers bad....I think the buildings are the same....but they do have a Wal Mart and Cracker Barrel in town now!

Our local Gov't,(County) has a commision that oversees all the ranges here. It is composed of members from local ranges. They make sure we are in compliance with all local laws and safety regulations. In addition we are reworking our ranges to meet NRA specs so we can have NRA sanctioned matches here. NRA's headquarters is about 30 miles from us so it is no problem having them come out and offer us "advice". It also helps that one of our members is photographing and cataloging all of the NRA museums firearms.

Thanks for all the info guys. I finally got to the range last night and test fired it. Charlie makes an amazing trigger kit! It is better than I had imagined it would be. I set it up for 9 first with the conversion barrel in the G24. Two guys I shoot local matches with were there and wanted to try it out. Both are not too fond of Glocks. They loved it. I switched to the .40 barrel and it functioned flawlessly also. I did not change the trigger housing ejector. I left the 9mm one in. Final test was 3 rounds of shooting sets of 5 clay pigeons at 35 yards man on man against the other two guys. I beat them both all 3 rounds. It took me 7 shots for the first round, 6 shots each for rounds 2 and 3. I would have normally expended a few more rounds than that with the stock trigger.

Thanks Kevin, That is great info. So what did you end up doing? Charlie told me I may get light strikes running the 9mm striker and shooting .40. I was not as worried about that as I was about harming the Glock. Though I am not sure if that is because of the striker or its spring. My kit did come with an extra spring in case there were light strikes shooting 9mm. It's labeled "medium". There was also a disclaimer that said the stock spring may have to be used in rare instances.

Thanks, I have checked out a couple of places and got varied info. Glockworx uses the same for 9 and 40. Other places have different part #'s for them. The bag that Charlies came in had boxes for 9,40, and 45....9 was checked. I have installed the kit and it feels great during dry firing. I am waiting to hear back from Charlie...and you're right, he is a great guy and very helpfull. I spoke to him a while back and he was a great help....and devoted a lot of time to helping me by phone. Probably 20 to 30 minutes.

I bought a "used" Vanek Classic Grand Master kit. It was used once at the range. I want to install it in my G35 or G24. I have 9mm conversion barrels for both. Will the 9mm firing pin work in the G35 slide? I thought they used the same slide. Can I shoot 9mm and .40 with the 9mm firing pin? I have no problems shooting 9mm wth the conversion barrel and stock .40 firing pin. Will the reverse be true?

+1 Forgot the smilie on my previous post though. We mix our pin shoots up with different formats from month to month. We do Man on Man, against the clock, and three distance (three tables) with SHO, WHO, and your choice, moving to a different position for each table and each grip. There is a competitive shooting lesson taught to all at the begining of each match. We hope to use pin shooting as an entry level competition for the newer shooters to develope the skills and safe practices to move on to bigger and better matches. We have great shooters from many disciplines that hone thier skills there....and those dang pins can be elusive no matter what format you shoot....but Man on Man...I totally agree it's great!

They can be elusive when shooting against the clock...

I picked up a 24c a couple of months ago. The Glock rep brought a couple of them and some 17Ls to a local gun stores Glock days sale. It's a great shooting pistol....but now I get to spend the real money....trigger, optics, barrels....etc etc haha!

It looks like I'll be buying a new keyboard....this one has spelling issues....and double posts...Sorry!

I own enough to get Birthday and Christmas cards from my local Gun shop....and after taking my sisters, brother and Mom (Liberal Democrats) to the range...my friends at that "tool" store know them all very well! Except for my Mom. She fell in love with my Mossberg Mariner 12 guage with dual pistol grips...I mounted a blinding LED light on it and gave it to her last Mothers Day...she is 75 and handles it like a pro now! And now 3 out of the 4 are Republicans...I somehow failed my one sister....where did I go wrong???
