Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. All good suggestions but this one first: "Undercut the trigger guard for a higher grip hold & round off the bottom of the guard to minimize "Glock forefinger" but keep the width."
  2. I get about 100 fps faster with Bayou over MG.
  3. Black out the "35" on the side of your slide or get a unmarked LW slide. Is that legal?
  4. Ok Robin at Taylor-Freelance contacted me and this is a summary of what he wrote . . . Option 1:He has a few aluminum +0s based on an older, longer pattern (he shortened the design to fit into the IPSC "Standard" box years ago). He machined one of those out last night and got a very reasonable +2 (as tested). He thought he could likely create a few of those, BUT by machining them down and removing the internal locking system, the only "locking system" is a couple of worn plastic bumps bearing on a sloped piece of aluminum. The part will come off under stress. Option 2: That older part leaves about 3mm of room un-used. It's probably not enough to get +3 in .40, but another mm or so would make +2 fit easily. He said he would custom-make a set for me, with a locking system, but that's more expensive. He's pretty confident he can get 24.5 rounds in a mag. Sound's good to me. That last half round takes some tension off and should eliminate those dreaded FTE's I get when I stuff my mags full. Robin said he could work on them in a week or two so I ordered two. He also added that he has a few different ideas he'd like to try out on the locking system. We'll find out what they are and how they'll work soon. This is an interesting post by MarkCO in the "21 rounds in a 40 Glock" thread, hope it isn't true. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=138756&view=findpost&p=1579923 Even if you can get a 24 rounds in a Glock .40 mag with a 8+ pad, I prefer the Taylor Freelance solution as the mag is long enough that you don't have to worry about the transition of the follower between mag and pad. Robin told me the OEM spring is quite stout so you won't have to worry about the follower hanging up or buy a different spring. Lastly, you don't have to Cram that last round into the mag and risk a FTF. Cheers
  5. Can't use a +8 as it will surely violate the 170 mm mag length rule. I'm fully aware of that. I'm just addressing the OP's question. I knew that.
  6. There is no transition point/seam between the mag body and the base pad/floor plate for the bullet to hang on. Also you don't need a different spring as the Glock 22 round is pretty stout as it is. You may also get a little extra room and not have to cram the last round in thus decreasing the likelihood of FTF's. Finally don't dismiss the coolness factor. At my age I don't worry about coolness factor, I just want it to work. Besides I am on a budget that you are likely paying for. Military retirement and social security. Which I'll gladly and thankfully pay.

  9. I was that customer that sent a sample mag to Robin at Taylor Freelance! It shipped on 11/25 he should be getting it in the next day or two. It would be sweet if one or two more rounds would fit in the brass model, except I don't want one I want three! Anyone else interested? BTW: I already have the +5 brass basepad and it has a metal backplate with two screws which IMHO is quite easy to dissemble.
  10. http://www.brianenos...dpost&p=1261341 SWEET! Thanks Kevin btw: Kevin are you still shooting that gun? Could you update that thread? That is not mine. That was a thread I remembered reading last year. I do know he was able to remove it with no ill effects. Good luck. Ok thanks Kevin had a senior moment there sorry. Nice to hear that it can be removed with no ill effects.

  12. Hmmmm, that sounds good. Lay something on the grip for fill it out and allow the rubber slip on to smooth out the rough spots. Thanks!
  13. Thanks guys but I don't want and can't afford another/different gun. I just want a different grip which doesn't sound like major surgery to me since this type of work is done to many competition guns. I just want to add not remove grip and was wondering if anyone knew how, of anyone that has done it or suggestions. Still the suggestions to go look at the different Glocks maybe useful for shaping purposes and I thank you not to mention it "Black Friday" and who doesn't want to go to the gun store on "Black Firday?"
