  1. I instruct trap shooting and shoot a handful of uspsa matches a year if I'm lucky. I had custom molded plugs made after the ringing started. I should have paid the 185 long ago. Seriously they are the quietest thing I've tried. I double up with electronic muffs and call it a day. When I had the plugs made I asked the guy if even with doubling up over time damage was happened, he conceded that there was, all those micro split second loud bangs add up.

    Connector Comparison

    I like the Ghost once I got it dialed in. At first I had issues with it. I would pull the trigger and then have to pull a little more. Finally I got the overtravel right and I stopped having problems with it hanging up. Much better then oem on my 17. I don't think I'd like it if it was any lighter.

    Magpul question

    Good info. I've been looking at ETS and based on the limit amount of results from google searches like problems with, issues, fte with ETS I think I'm going to order a few to give them a try, probably do the same with the magpuls too for fun.
  4. This is tempting too. I've been watching these for a while. Sound like the issues people have reported in the past are addressed for the large part. I always sort of thought that the hold open function would be needed for PCC but I guess if you don't let it run dry and plan the reloads it wouldn't be an issue.
  5. I'm really excited for this at it's price point. I've been lusting after a 9mm AR for a long time, but just couldn't pull the trigger on one for the price. Also all the talk about problems people have with lower priced AR types. Either way, for the price if it's not all that great it'll still be fun for camping.
  6. bidding... Oh yeah baby!
  7. That's good to hear... I'm building a DD 14.5 LW after just finishing an 18 build with a normal DD barrel...
  8. It looked good to me, super light for having that much rail...
  9. Glad you got a good one, I finally had to complain to the BBB to get a resolution to 709. OP-I'd look for a used kahr cm,cw- don't go higher then 9mm, glock 26,27, ruger lcr or lcp.
  10. I'm glad you got the ex part right. Had similar things happen to me, and the best advise I got was lucky you found who the kind of person she was before it was too late.
  11. Glad yours is working well. I really love mine, even with the heavy trigger pull. I'm still trying to get mine to run right. About 3 rounds out of a hundred totally FTE- leaving a casing in the barrel and a fresh round slamming into it. Hopefully it's break in issue.
  12. ACI, sounds like a good start and you've already tried it:) Must have had fun, or you wouldn't be back:)) When you feel the need for improvement in your gear, I'd start with more mag pouches & lose the UMCP. Not sure what type holster/belt you have, but I'd go for a good one, too - makes a difference in draws/reloads. Getting into reloading is a GREAT idea - good luck with that. You should be able to make some ammo which is less expensive and more fun to shoot (accurate & less recoil). Your gun is one of the better ones - shouldn't be necessary to change that any time soon. Switching to Limited is a whole other situation - then you need another gun, mags, etc - probably in .40 caliber. I'd stick with what you have for a few months, anyway, and see what your preferences are - try to shoot some other guys' guns - try out other production and limited guns. More expensive to get into a competitive Limited gun. Have a blast. Jack Thanks. I have a comp-tac holster. Thanks for the encouragement! 40 is going to be pricey if I decide to do that.
  13. Just starting out shooting USPSA-- I'm thinking of starting in production. I'm decently fast at my reloads, and I figure I'll be faster by the end of the year if I go with production. I've heard that it's easier to start in limited just so you focus on shooting and not reloading... I guess I'll figure it out soon enough. I shot limited in a match last month due to limited gear. Also I'm going to shoot a practice match this week this weekend. I have, I believe everything I'll need. 2 single mag pouches- no name kydex, 1 dual uncle mikes crappy pouch, a holster and belt. Oh and a S&W MP Pro 9. So for starting out I think I'm fine for mags for now I have 6-7. And I stocked up on Ammo ~1500 should last a little while- then I will hopefully have my reloading stuff squared away. So I'm open to lots of advice from the hive....
  14. I'd be really interested in a picture or a short write up. I've been looking at kydex molding but it seems like a lot of time and work...
  15. I always call botach before I order. I just got 5 of them for 22 and free shipping. Gal said inventory was 99+
  16. Wow Thanks! I'm doing production for now but soon enough I'll need one.
  17. My link Also looks like more reason for caution.
  18. http://www.bbb.org/south-east-florida/business-reviews/guns-and-gunsmith-shops/rush-international-in-miami-fl-22000620 Looks like they might actually exist.
  19. I found an MP Pro 9mm nib locally for a good price that I'm going to pick up. I'll be money ahead even after mags, and I won't lose a ton if I end up upgrading after a year or two. Thanks for all the input! I'm liking this forum a lot, much more... um informed then other forums that will remain nameless.
  20. I've been looking at and reading about both the Glock and the M&P for like 2 weeks now. I sold my G17 to fund this... So here goes: I've started shooting USPSA- just barely and I'm looking for a pistol to grow with. Right now I'm thinking production because I want to get good at reloads. I have a G19(4th gen pos) and a G23 as well. I also have 4-5 G17 mags just lying around. I've shot the M&P Pro a couple of times and I'd image that the G34 shoots like a longer G17, but I haven't shot one yet. Here's the thing I tend to pull my shots down and left with the larger frame Glocks... Which means I need more practice- but I'm also wondering if a lighter trigger pull would help that. I realize it could be me squeezing my whole hand or finger placement on the trigger. If I get the 34 I'm going to put new sights in and do trigger work- the M&P comes with a better trigger and sites out of the box. I'm not really considered about the price because I'm only like 200 off one way or the other. So I guess I'm looking for advice and guidance... Thanks in advance.
  21. Where did you find a deal like that? Sounds like a good option to me. I'm looking at 930s myself to replace my pump gun.
  22. I just found a nib Glock 17 RTF2 for 466 out the door tax included so I jumped on it! Figured for that price I wasn't going to do better.
  23. Wow, all really good advice. My AR has a trigger job by a good local smith, and it's pretty sweet. I'm going to buy optics pretty much the second I get money cause I need to start practicing. I'm going to have to look into police trades and other creative options for a full sized Glock. I'm thinking I'll probably hold off on the barrel/upper stuff until I get other stuff sorted out. I think it will probably be awhile before this AR setup will be the weak link, and at that point it will be easier to justify the change and I'll have money saved up to do it.
  24. I have been looking at that one, wouldn't cost too much, could hawk my old barrel and my gunsmith says he'll put the new one on for 25. It'd be 200 out of pocket minus whatever I could get out of my Del-ton barrel, which is an enticing option. I'm just trying to judge where I should focus my limited funds. Markco, yeah I need optics and a handgun, I have a Walther P99 that I can use, but I'm trying to sell it to fund a full sized 9mm with higher cap mags. Probably either a Glock 17 or a 34 depending on how much I get out of the Walther. And I'm looking at the TAC-30 as far as optics goes. As far as 1100 how did it slow you down? For now I'm sure it's more capable then I am, but I'm just wondering. The local range calls the class I'm shooting scoped tactical meaning one optic on your rifle, and while the range has space to spare so far farthest target has been 450yrds.
