  1. I found one Glock that just wasn't working with it, put if in my other Glock, everything the same, connector type, ejector, you name it, and it fit in and worked flawlessly. 2.75# pull. LWD connector. Ordered a 2nd one, waiting for shipment.
  2. Gary, sorry to see this though I am seeing it with a number of my fellow senior/super senior CRO's, self included, we are working fewer matches as it is hard to keep up. Maybe there is a lesson here regarding the now ever-present lack of rules stability.
  3. Good point, they ran out of space on sticks to staple and that would not have done anything for the bend. As a CRO, I'd either staple or cut the upper part off of the backing target to remove the offending peak a boo, re-adjust the front target or just put a whole new target on.
  4. My thanks to all of you who have replied. I simply could not get it to work in the gun I was putting it in. So, uninstalled everything, got my secondary CO pistol, another G34.4, re-installed everything in it and it works flawlessly, all safety's work, pull is still the 2.5/2.75 and life is good. Must be tolerances....
  5. Thanks. This was like this from the first install.
  6. Got off the phone with Timney, they state connector the usual suspect in this. Put in three different glock oem connectors, same issue. I'll continue to play with it.
  7. Installed mine last night in my G34.4. Install itself was easy. Red return spring, LWD connector that I had been running previously. I did not replace any part in the slide, Lightened striker, rounded and lightened spring with plunger. Manual scale show 2.5-2.75. Electric showed 1 lb 14 ounce average on 8 pulls. Only issue was reset, would not manually reset to a safe position. Adjust the set screw in the trigger to virtually every distance it could go with no appreciable difference. I could push the trigger to reset the trigger safety but it would not go by itself. Waiting to call tech support. Hanging up on the frame. I understand that JG rounds that part of the Timney trigger so it does not catch. Could possibly get a file and provide relief on the frame itself. (See Pic) Even with all slide parts replaced to stock, issue still exists. I'm beating up that poor trigger going in and out of it. I have not taken it to the range yet, wondering if the actual force of the recoil will set it correctly. Hoping to get this resolved. A test fire of magnum primers, which my gun previously would not ignite, showed that it successfully ignited with the Timney (main reason I got it) as the feel and break is not noticeably different from my Glock triggers with a JG shoe.
  8. I have four. A shockbottle hundo, an EGW 50, an EGW 7 and a single Dillon Precision. If I get a bad fit, I rotate the round or put it into another hole. Sometimes the hole is fouled and it just won't take that round. It them goes through at least one of the others. If it fits any of them, it's good to go.
  9. CRO on Stage 9, was towards the end of the day Sunday. Took one step, bumped gun, that was it. Almost every squad was ribbing their folks. Was a good crowd. Shooters realized what they did for all that it happened to, nothing bogus.
  10. Safety violations cannot be appealed save for exceptional circumstances. I worked the Battle. What I saw was accidental and brain farts/not paying attention. Gun bumped in race holster, one 180, turning the wrong way going uprange, my RO on that side got an eyeful of pistol and yelled stop. 3rd one another brain fart, shooter pulls gun out to test table start while I'm walking back from demonstrating the clamshell on staff day, paid shooter, no commands given. Yes, the hole is just as big unloaded as it is loaded when it is pointing at you. Other stages much the same. Sweeping going through doors, 180's, AD's. A number were shooters attending their first level 2. Tells me that we aren't doing as good a job as we think at the local levels.
  11. How IDPA SO's score and USPSA RO's score is apparently different enough. Without evidence, I don't assume anything on a target. This is a rabbit hole that I would not care to go down.
  12. Watch as many as you can, better or worse. you will learn something and improve. Add to that come early or the day before for local match setups, stay for tear down when shooters get together and discuss the stages. Lots of information available if you take the time to avail yourself of it. While some shooters are in the zone and will be reticent to talk before they shoot, most of us are more than happy to talk afterwards, either while moving between stages or after the match. Don't press folks getting ready to shoot. While few of us can do everything, all of us can do something and learn in the process. I'll second the volunteer aspect, clubs will die without that help and any help you give will be repaid tenfold in what you see, experience and get to understand.
  13. As did I with no luck. But my first stripping was on a Venom with the chp plate. Not sure if there is another supplier of screws that would fit that plate's posts with a better quality screw. The screws Holosun provides for the MOS plate never stripped on me despite going back and forth between MOS and chp.
  14. Upgrading holosun from 507 to 507 acss Vulcan. Point being screwheads should not strip so easily. Install on the plate calls for certain torque, and with the holosun design, the chps provided torque heads don't fit straight down.
  15. I had to ask them to send me extra screws for the Holosun. They really don't seem to hold up to repeated removals, getting stripped out at the heads. Has me concerned going forward. Had a similar issue with the Vortex Venom to the point I needed to get out the screw removers. I sweated that one out that I might not get the damn sight off of the slide. Truth be told that issue never existed with the MOS setup. YMMV
  16. Finally got my cr speeds on using a soft hammer, vice and assorted odds and ends. Should not be this hard, now daa has this funky lynx belt that really only works with daa stuff.
  17. Outlines are great but at $110....
  18. Heard the same thing from a fellow shooter. Feel a dodged a bullet when I passed on moving up to the Gen 5.
  19. Great pouches, I've given up on trying to get them on my extra daa belt, lol/
  20. Our luck is that they know that, will put out a new model that is less than the hellcat, bump the list price to $80+
  21. I just got an email back this morning saying that they "should be releasing a new trail shoe this fall/winter". Lol, so take your pick...
  22. I dropped them a note to tell them that exact thing! I'll let you know what I find out.
  23. That's odd, you can design a new shoe and still be selling your older line. I know some shooters in my area are distressed that the trails are gone. Not real keen on dropping 3-4x as much for speedcross again.
  24. It looks like all of their trail shoes are going away. Have to see if their aggressive turf shoe is acceptable.
