Yea I don't have grips I'm in love with but I'm thinking about a set of VZ grips. Thanks for you input. I know it doesnt take hours I was just playing (LOL)...thanks thought I will check them out.

I have a Dawson on my Glock and I too love it. I was thinking about the model with the gap so I don't have to buy new mags or get new basepads. I know some guys that use the Techwell and have also heard great things. I'm leaning towards the Dawson but I need some more imput. I appriciate your input it was helpful and I didn't have to spend hours searching other threads.

Ok I’m looking for thoughts and opinions on magwells for Single Stack Division. I have a Kimber Custom Target with a factory magwell but it is a little on the small side. I’m thinking about the Dawson or the Techwell (the big one). Any thoughts, opinions or first hand experience with either or all would be great. Any input would be great. I am sure there are threads somewhere on the forum but if you want a question answered I always figure its best to ask yourself.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I would still like to hear any opinions on the Glockworx triggers. Anyone?

Thanks for the info. It seems like the glocktrigger.com is the way to go for me.

I felt the Glocktrigger at the nationals and liked. I would love to know how the feel of that one compares to the Glockworx.

Anyone using the Glocktrigger.com or Glockworx triggers? I’m looking to make a change from my current set up. I’m currently running a 24 with a 3.5lb connector, olive NY trigger spring, Lightning Strike striker and plunger with a Wolff reduced striker spring. It’s a nice set up, light pull great reset, but I would like a little less take up with a little lighter pull. I have done some searching and I have narrowed down my choices to the Glocktriggers.com “Edge” kit or the ZEV Ultimate Kit. Any thoughts? Opinions?

I learned that I can make any shot that I shoot and that you gotta watch the sights. The venue was nice. The ground sucked and was not easy to get around but who cares when you look up and see the mountains and all the other cool stuff. Just awsome. My goal for next year is no penalties and to break the top 100.

Yup, that was most likely me you saw "throw a round in the ground 3 feet in front of him" on stage 12. I don't know why it happened, but I can help you understand what transpired after that. The RO said he could not see the gun, and therefore did not know exactly what direction it was pointing at the time of the AD. I had engaged 1 target by the time I heard STOP, so I think the RO was unsure of what exactly happened, and could not confirm it with the RM. The RM asked if the round struck the ground within 10 ft. and the RO told him he didn't think so. A DQ needs to be about the facts, and not "I think that's what happened". Obviously I didn't argue the outcome, and took my re-shoot gladly. I will say this however, from that moment on, I was nervous as hell every time I racked the slide to "Make Ready" or "Unload & Show Clear". Never did find out what caused it. Chris, I hope you don't think that I was trying to take a stab at you, by no means is that what I ment. We can not control what the RO sees or does. After seeing what I saw on stage 12 I too was nervous and was super deliberate with what I did with my gun. Every stage I had my eyes on what I was doing with the gun. $275 match fee, $400 air fare, $300 for the hotel, I was not going home. If you knew what it took for me to get there, you too would be super careful. I am glad you were OK and were able to contiune with the match. I hope everything went well.

18 was the one I was worried about the most. I was super careful on all the stages. We were watching a squad shoot stage 12 on the AM squad on Thursday on one guy broke the 180 off of the start (got DQ'd) and saw another throw a round in the ground 3 feet infront of him (did not get DQ'd, I could not beleive what I saw). The whole match I was super careful. I went slow, watched my gun and had fun.

I work for a gun shop and we have had more buisness then ever. I also run a match here in Maryland and the attendance is higher than ever.

+1 on the eyes picking up Green better then red. I also read that. I have heard that it can't hurt to switch back and fort between the colors. They say that your eyes get used to the one color and doesn't pick it up as well. I have shot red for many years and have switched to green after shooting the Area 8 match. I borrowed a buddies STI with a green front sight and I really liked it. The rods don't cost that much so I would say shoot a couple matches with one color, change it to another and see what you like best. Just my thoughts.

As long as it fits in the box with the lid closed, it would be legal as far as I know. But you might want to check the rulebook as to permitted modifications.

When I shoot 3G I use a Benelli M1 with a pistol grip. My tube holds 7 so I can load 8 total. I think trainging with the gun is most important. If he fells comfortable with a pistol grip he should go for it. The way I reload is I hold the gun with my strong hand while loading with weakhand. I keep the gun up on target, I don't have any problem with my reloads that way. It keeps my hand away from a hot barrel. Like I said, if the pistol grip works go for it. There are many ways to do things but you just gotta find the one that works for you best.

No worries, the site is not the easiest to use but has a lot of info.
