Very funny and way to go Merlin!

Happy birthday dude! Oh, to be your age again

Yeah definately. I always wondered if the winners have a different definition of good.

What distances are you guys talking here?

I think as soon as you have decided you want to be a very good shooter, you will be from that point on. It's more of a decision followed by a way of training than a product that comes after thousands of rounds of training.

Good one. I usually say no. If they continue I say no again. If they keep going, I'll say "OK, tell me more about your product, lay it down and finish my dinner (they almost always call during dinner time). Another nice one is to ask for their home number so you can call them back at a time that's more convenient for you.

Nice texts. I'll take one of each

Sam is the MAN! Congrats buddy!

Thanks and Happy Birthday too guys!!!

Thanks Flex. I saw no "dancing" though Lance, your post reflects my feelings about this exactly. I know there is some factory ammo out there that could probably barely make major in a G17L, but that is very stout ammo. Home brew might get me there, but I wonder which way I should go then (heavy bullets or 124 grainers). I could of course also buy a slightly longer barrel (an Austrian company called IGB sells them up to 10"), but this would defeat the whole cheap gun thing (might as well buy a 2-pin new gun) I'm giving this whole thing another thought and will probably go with a factory 2 pin frame. Thanks for the replies!

Haha, that question was in my original reply... Yeah, I wonder....

Hmmm that is very interesting, but raises a question in my walnut sized brain If a two pin block fits a 2nd gen frame by drilling a hole, won't it fit the 2nd gen frame with only one pin installed anyway?

Hehe no problem David! Thanks for the link anyways. There's some good info there

Thanks guys. David, thanks for the link, but I was asking this question specifically with the 17L 1-pin old frame in mind. The long barrel will make major easier than a G17, but I wondered if the one pin would hold up. Eric, thanks I don't have a 17L yet, but I can get a couple of great deals here. I was thinking of just mounting a Docter and just have some fun in Open. I figured since there is some factory ammo out there that makes 145+ in a regular G17, making major in a 17L could be done. Rob, thanks! That is very useful info!

The title says it all I guess. I'd like to know if a "1 pin" Glock 17L can handle Major loads. I'm talking 160+ IPSC major loads here. I'd like to build a budget Open Gun, just for fun, but I'd like to shoot major with it.

Couldn't it have been a squib? I have had 2 squibs in my revolver and both times I didn't realize it in time and put another bullet right behind it. Both times, there were 2 holes in the target...

Yeah, that looks awesome!

Most scratches can be polished away, if they're not too deep. Otherwise I would look for a near perfect one and have it "refinished"...

If you're going to use it for Practical shooting.... take it as it is. Or get a perfect gun and make the scratches yourself later

CR all the way. Their belt is so stiff, it cannot be compared to anything else on the market. The holster is very secure and fast.

I voted "stupid Honkeys who move too slow", but for political correctness, I think nothing beats "That expensive vase aunt Tilly gave you, and she's coming over tonight" Fomeister, LMAO

All that practice can't be good for you. Imagine if it would have broken during a stage!!!

That sure looks like one sweet handling gun!

Borat rocks!

Have a great one Kathy!!!
