I finally talked my buddy into changing his sights to sevigny's and he couldn't be happier. The narrower front and wider rear not only helps with fast sight acquisition but is more accurate. Your eyes will have an easier time make the light on the sides of the front post equal. I like the all black but I have the FO front on my g34 and just black it out with a sharpie. If I need the FO for some reason I can clean it up or change it out. You will do better if you get away from the stock sights now and learn to see the crisper sight picture with new sights. What do you have to lose? Call Chris at CPWSA (a forum dealer) and get to it. You will not regret it.

I was happy with my performance. First time shooting a postal match was fun. SSP EX 1. 15.70(4). 2. 10.05(3). 3. 4.65(0). 4. 12.77(1) Total: 43.17(8) Keith

No need to send off a 34. Sevigny sights ... $80 13lb recoil spring ... $4 Trigger parts ... $20 Grip tape ... $2 Do it all yourself. Vids on YouTube will help or a friend with some experience. Takes 1 hour if you have no idea what you are doing. Then go shoot the crap out of it. Keith

+1 on that. Make my time with the family more quality time. Shoot more in quality practice. Work harder ( yes, at the actual job ) Develop more visual patience. And quantitatively: 5 gun master in IDPA Keith

http://www.youtube.com/user/springfield1911guy?feature=mhum#p/u/2/75LDgbDwE0s at 13 seconds. I've got walls on either side of me. Now I can't remember the stage COF may have said that those walls where only vision barriers but I thought the stage was called alleyway something or another. Perfect example. How do you guys see this. It looks perfectly legal to me. He is reloading behind cover from the remaining threats. Keith

So the hallway walls are not cover but the walls at the end of the hall are? Do they not block 100% of your body from the threat targets remaining? Sorry to be part of the derailing. Keith

It doesn't say these positions are in the open. In fact is says you are using cover. If you are working around the right side of a wall and shoot two targets right to left, slide lock on the third, you just don't have to worry about being exposed to the two on the right you've already engaged. So why would you have to worry about the two in front of you in this cof after you've engaged them? Keith

Nice shooting. Looks like you are following the gun with your eyes instead of snapping your eyes to the next target on transitions. Also enter the shooting position with your gun up and ready to shoot, last shot should have weight transferring toward your next position. Most importantly, take my suggestions lightly, I just shoot idpa. Looks like a great range.

Any recommendations? I was walking with the stroller full of my 11-month-old son and a good size dog came along. He was far from friendly but never made a real charge. Just kept approaching while growling and when he was about 10 feet away I could scare him off a little. I'm not sure my wife would be the same deterrent. Worried me enough to get out my knife but I didn't want to draw my gun and have to report it. Any experience with something small that may fit the bill? Thanks, Keith

Just wondering if they would work in a glock and if there was any experience out there with them?

Didn't have a chance to work it out. It was supposed to be a quick function check. Cleaned the gun and have a match Sunday so just a shakedown. Then this popped up. Only had 50 rounds with me total. I'll try it next week and see if I can video it.

I was at the range for a quick equipment check and set two idpa targets at 25 yards. On the buzzer draw and engage t1 with 5 rounds, rwr, t2 with 5. Target 1 had 5 in the -0 t2 had them nicely grouped below the -0 all in the -1. So I said that's funny and proceeded to do it again and again even though I was aware of the possible outcome. Why? Targets were same height, slightly different shadowing ( I realized this at the range while shooting and tried not to let it affect my aim ), same distance. I'm leaning toward a problem with my grip after the reload. Any ideas or thoughts?

147 MG 3.6 gr WST 1.147" Glock 34 3.4 gr was questionable for cycling weak hand only with an intentional loose grip. These feel much better. No pressure signs. I need to find a friend with a chrono to see but I'm betting on ~135 pf.

No problem for me in 9 or .40 for glocks and a para. This is on a SDB with the proprietary dillon dies.

I usually lurk around here and search for what I need, but I have to say thank you Jake. I needed to hear that. I've become very stable with my practice pace and it's comfortable to get good hits at that speed. No surprise, I'm sure, it's my match pace as well. I need to push harder and learn from where I fail.

I should have thought of this earlier. I have had only a few FTF's with my G34 and guess when it was? When I was Chrono/grouping off sandbags. For added stabilization I had placed the bottom of the grip on the table with the barrel resting on the bag. The gun touching the table must have been robbing the gun of slide energy or something. When I keep the gun off the table like normal the problem is gone. I mentioned it on here when it happened. I'll see if I can find the thread. Thanks Sarge, gun ran fine today as well, mostly weakhand only practice but my friend shot it some with no problems. Think I'll bump the powder charge up a few tenths just to be sure it's 100% and call it good. From now on i'll know to just rest my forearms when I'm sighting in a load. Man ... these glocks are finiky

New front sight height looks to be working out. Off hand groups were about 1" high at 25 yards. That'll work for me. Funny thing is the gun ran the reloads at 1.150" just fine. Then ran the 1.130" loads as well. Maybe it was something weird about shooting it off the bags.

+1. And double plug.

Due to different case brands I had oal's from 1.128 to 1.137 in the mix for testing. I guess my Glock doesn't like the shorter lengths with 147 MG's. It would fail to feed with the round ending up on the feed ramp, bullet in chamber or nose diving into the ramp. Three factory mags did the same thing. WWB and BBI reloads had no problems and functioned great. The failure rate of the MG's was 10 % or more. I set my press up to load the Winchester brass ( which usually comes out the longest ) @ 1.150". So now I have oal's from 1.152" on the high side down to about 1.145" ( federal brass ). We'll see how these work.

Just came in from the garage where I filed down the front sight. It's an FO front so I had to take it off the bottom. Harder than i thought but I took it down to the .215" height I thought may work. Check my math. It's shooting about 4 - 5" low at 25 yards with a .245" front. The sight radius is 7.5 inches. I took .030" off the front. So for every 7.5 inches it should impact .030" higher. 25 yards = 900 inches/ 7.5" = 120 x .030" = 3.6" Should raise the poi 3.6 inches which should leave me very slightly low but I may be able to deal with that much. Anyone see any problem with my logic?

Bob, What OAL are you running with your 147's? I'm having a failure to feed issue @ 1.130".

Sarge, Is that 2-3" high at 25yards? That would be ok.

Shot off a rest weakhand only as my strongside shoulder is healing from surgery. I feel good about the shooting. Warmed up with another gun and hit POA with a 2" group. The loads should be around 130+ pf. Should be ok. The BBI's were cycling just fine with the same load at roughly the same OAL. I think it's a profile problem at this OAL but I'll experiment with the stock recoil spring and a longer OAL.

New g34 to the range to try out the new reloads and came across two problems. 1. Gun shoots at 6 o'clock low. About 5" at 25 yards. New sevigny sights with .245" tall front at the websights suggestion. This was with handloads of 147 MGB and 147 BBI as well as WWB 115's. Shot off a rest weakhand only as my strongside shoulder is healing from surgery. I feel good about the shooting. Warmed up with another gun and hit POA with a 2" group. 2. Failure to feed with the handloads. Only the MGB's. 147 gr @1.135" with 3.5 gr WST. The failure looked like it was hitting off the feed ramp and hanging in the hood. When the mag was ejected the round would go more vertical and fall out the magwell when the slide racked. Gun has been problem free to this point. 3 factory mags with the same problem. No problems with anything other than the MGB's. 13lb recoil spring uncut. Any ideas? OAL change?

I like the agrip on my G34. It's a pain to get on if you like it to look good. Luckily I don't have that problem. It also adds to the bulk of the grip slightly. It feels way better than any of the tape products, feels like suede, but is very grippy. Pricy too. Keith
