Guy, hope you make it. I thought if I laid a little challange down, more of my friends I don't see enough would come on down to try & kick my old butt.
AND one other thing, the sear spring that rests on the disc. could be bent to far out & is petrudeing into the mag. funnel. The mag. hits it upon insertion.
Let's try U.S. measurement's. Sti, caspian & other quality slides measure .698/.700 in the tunnel. Most bull barrels are cut to fit this. If the slide is bigger than this I would stick w/ a bushing barrel.
Match was great, it tested ALL your skills. This is one you don't want to miss next year. I dug myself into a hole the first 2 stages but came back to within about 17 match points for a 2nd place finish. Robert wooda was 1st & tony holmes was 3rd. in limited/ tactical.
Trainsations are a little faster w/ the short , light guns, but if you cannot put 2 shots together fast, you need to go back to what got you there, a flat shooting 5".
Just get a 5" gun lightened on the front end to around 41/42 oz's w/ a short comp & a couple holes in the barrel. Soft in shooting & flat. If you cannot win with it, nothing else will help that much.
