    Putting my p14 on a diet

    in General Gunsmithing

    Posted

    If I was looking to skinny up one of those guys, I'd:

    - Lighten material under the grip panels

    - Thin and checker the front strap

    - Thin up the slide a smidge

    - Lightened full length guide rod

    - Stay away from as many Ti parts as I could

    - Flatten and cut up the top of slide and serrate (whatever is IDPA legal there)

    - Maybe cut some wider flats/"serrations" in the slide

    With all that though, 43 oz. isn't bad. I think that's what my singlestack (and my Open gun actually) weighs in at.

    On all of them, I have small IPSC targets pinned on the wall in our office/guest bedroom. On the draws, I do the basics and draw variations (surrender, up range) and just push the par time.

    On the reloads, I do a lot of Burkett reloads to warm-up and then go to the kitchen table and do 5-6 off of the table. From there, it's back to the small targets to push the par time. On all of them, the key is seeing the inside of my magwell.

    On the transitions, it's not so much pushing the transition that I'm working (although it is). It's really paying attention to where the dot is at when I want to break the shot.

    Let's see...where should we start.

    Shot a GSSF match and did okay except on Glock M. Pushed it a little hard and in GSSF, points down are never a good thing. After that, shot a 22 3-Gun match which turned out to be a waste of time as the rules changed on each stage based upon me bringing open gear to a "run what you brung" event full of IDPA guys and well...they weren't happy.

    Shot the monthly match at Richmond and my legs felt like garbage. My trainer and I have been working on my base and core and from our Tuesday & Thursday smoke sessions, I wasn't sore on Sunday, but I definitely was down on the juice. It showed on the stages as I was flat out slow.

    Last week, shot the monthly at my old home range. Finished 3rd overall and 2nd Open with 2 Master class shooters above me. Here's the video:

    12 APR 09 Targetmasters

    Really went well. We altered my program, training wise, to something more aerobic rather than heavy lifting on the Thursday before a match and it paid off. Legs and core felt great. Just gotta lose some pounds now. We're pushing hard this week on the training with recovery this weekend and then the same work hard on Tuesday and do more aerobic/dynamic training on Thursday to keep fresh legs before the Golden Bullet.

    I'm focusing the dry firing on three specific areas:

    - Draws: They're fast, but not consistent and I know it throws me off for the balance of the stage.

    - Transitions: A bit on the speed but also on seeing the exact spot on the target that I want to hit and moving the dot to it.

    - Reloads: They're a little sloppy and I'm not getting on the release fast enough. Break the shot, call the shot, release the mag. Period.

    Replace 38 super top end

    Like Larry, I'd go with a standard 5", no ports in the slide and then have a 7 port comp. I've shot Voigt's gun that's setup this way and it was really nice and smooth. A bit hypocritical as I shoot a 4-port hybrid 5" gun, but then I like brushing folks away with blast. :D

    Building a G35 Upper

    in Glock

    Posted

    I figured. Basically, in not wanting to try and track down a G35 upper (unless y'all know of one available) this was the option I turned to and yeah it's for Production. If I can't get it legal, then it's back to a cool carry gun. ;)
