Flex, I guess that is a little heavy, yeah. It's that damn metric system I'm used to. Thanx for posting on GT. Will check it out. DBC and icer, I will probably go with a THE. Thanx for the info guys.

Hi guys, what magwell should I definately stay away from? I saw that the guys from glockmeister said one of the wells really sucked, but they didn't mention which one. They just said something about a company in the NW USA. Which magwells do you guys have good experiences with? I want a heavy (either brass or stainless steel) well to fit a G17/34. It should fit all basepads and stock mags and the gun must fit the box. Any ideas? Is the topglock magwell any good? It's the heaviest at 5.5lbs. Thanks, Bjorn

Found it. http://www.mattburkett.com/3.html Good luck, Bjorn

I think I saw an IPSC tip on this specific subject on the matt burkett page http://www.mattburkett.com I'm not sure but I'll look it up for you.

I think IPSC should have a category with those rules Brian. I shoot in Europe and we have no Mag restrictions and the only consequence of that is that everybody shoots the same (expensive) gun, or a glock. Other options will put you down on the scoring list. I agree with the ten round rule you suggest. It would have the advantage that people can enter stock class with other guns in major calibers than 1911's and glocks. Now people can compete in a serious class, without having to: either spend $2000 on a S_I, or having to shoot with a glock as the only alternative. Production class in IPSC (not USPSA) allows no mods at all. That sucks too. I mean, the rules in IPSC production are so inconsistent and yet so tight. I furthermore dislike the fact that USPSA has no influence whatsoever on European IPSC. Some of the rules you wish for are found only in IPSC and not in USPSA (yet), but limited 10 would no doubt be my class if it was an IPSC class in Europe. But...no magazine restrictions, no limited 10. It basically comes down to this: I would like to be able to compete in a class where gear is not the main thing and you can choose what you WANT to shoot to win and not what you HAVE to shoot to win. Somewhere inbetween production (IPSC) and limited (IPSC) with a 10 round restriction (to stop hicap-big$$$-gun-mania)?

Flexmoney, is that USPSA or IPSC 14th edition? Because I checked the 14th edition of IPSC rules on http://www.ipsc.org yesterday and it still has the triggerpull and barrel length restrictions. I think IPSC should drop at least the triggerpull rule, because they put the standard on 5lbs. That would mean that some of the guns they listed would actually have to be modified to get a heavier trigger Glock comes with a 4.5 lbs. and my HK p7 is a disguised single action with a 3.5lbs. trigger. That would make no sense.

I don't get it. The 14th edition IPSC rulebook states that in production class the maximum barrel lenght is 5". So now I want to buy a Glock 17 for production, cause the barrel of the G34 is to long. The 14th edition also has a rule about the minimum trigger pull of 5lbs. Th G34 has one of 3.5lbs. Now on this forumboard I keep reading about Glocksters that use G34's for production, with a 3.5lbs. trigger and all sorts of add-ons. Am I crazy or is it just that the rules over there in the U.S. are different (I shoot in Europe)? Or is the 15th edition already out?

Hi guys, I was wondering about the glock specific bo-mar sights. I know bo-mar has the name, but these sights look a little weird. They're sticking out of the back of the gun about .5". Does anyone have experience or has anyone seen a couple of these sights installed on any glock? I would think it makes the sight a little vulnerable sticking out like that. On the other hand it offers an extended sight radius.

Hi Winston, I am terribly sorry to say this, but I think none of the mods are allowed for IPSC production. No external mods (funnel), no replacement of box-stock parts with non-factory internal parts (titanium fring pin & guide rod). Also the extended mag catch won't be allowed because it's not standard on the Glock 17 & 22 (which I think you're going for, since 34's and 35's aren't allowed because of their 5.2 inch barrel. Best thing you can do I think is go to http://www.ipsc.org and send an email to the RO. He will give you a clear answer within probably 2 days. Good luck, Bjorn.

OK, here's why. I am now shooting a HK P7M13 in 9mm for production. I love the P7. But now I want to compete in standard class IPSC. I can't go and modify my P7 (no aftermarket parts) and it only holds 13 rnds. I want a gun which I can get all the gear for, but a 1911 is a little too expensive right now. I know about the powerfloor thing, but right now I am still in university and I can't afford to spend all my money on the more expensive .40 ammo (even when reloading) + I want to buy only one more gun for now. Another thing is that I would like to practice for serious competition, in which I hope to participate when I'm done with my education. To keep it short and simple: School is the reason. Another thing is that I live in the Netherlands and there's no hi-cap restriction, so maybe a 9mm would have a slight advantage in magazine capacity. Guess that about summs it up. Any suggestions?

To all glock owners. If one wants to build a limited-class all-out glock in 9mm, is there a real advantage to the 34 instead of the plain old model 17? I'm thinking of trigger work, funnel, bo-mar, bar-sto etc. Will the 0.7" difference in barrel length make any difference at all? Thanks

I like it when I outshoot the guys who spent $$$ for a race gun at my range with my little out-of-the-box p7. It is very much fun. And about yourself and not about your gun I guess.

What I like is this new forum. Glad it's here.
