Cool. Good info. Once the shrine is complete, I will know what to chant.

Shooters are bastards. Fun bastards , but bastards nonetheless.

If he's going to be my plastic-totin' hero. I want to be able to say it correctly.

Steve, I wish you weren't getting pinched by this. The greed at the source is a free-market problem, and sharing is the only free-market solution. Maybe the execs, sony shareholders and megastars will get the point.

"Thanks for reviving the thread blue. It's just what I've been struggling with lately." No prob. IDPA scoring is simplicity itself. It shows the raw time, and the number beside it is points down (poor hits, penalties, etc.). Everybody in each division is held to the same PF, and supposedly, you're only shooting against those in the same class. Only that's crap, because you're shooting against everybody. I revived this thread, mostly because a couple of those fellas whose times are close to mine are pretty new to competitive shooting, whereas I've been at it for a couple of years. I have improved (I was slow and inaccurate.), but compacency isn't advancing me any. BTW, I'll be using that PAR time trick. Never woulda thought of it.

Thanks, Bill. I agree on your asessment of Corky. He is pretty good people, along with the rest of the club at MVSA. None of the area clubs provide much reason to gripe, and CASA and MVSA shoot IPSC if I decide to start that.

I knew there was no need to start my own thread on this. By the numbers, is it time for me? The pseudonym I use to compete in IDPA matches is "Steve Owens" I'm in SSP/MM, toward the bottom. http://www.hotspringsar.net/mvsa/080302.html

I have an Aftermarket barrel in my 22. Since the loads I crank out for IDPA are pretty soft, I tried them in my spankin' new (to me) 35. I've seen much Glockdafied brass, and these showed no evidence. Definitely cool with light loads.

I'd hate to bring about the end of a username. That's speed over accuracy, I guess. I posed this q on GT, and Hoss weighed in with the suggestion that the roughness might be from the reset "nub" needing fitting as well. It's moot because I whiled away the time aiting for replies by dremelling away the stop, so the thing is pretty much a $26 toothpick. I know I can take the guarantee, but I think I'll just let Matt do a trigger job, as well as try to fit my barrel a little better. I had the housing in tight, it was pinned back in every time. The GR connector was a looser fit than the other connectors I tried in the gun, and i figure with the pressure from the trigger bar, it will just get looser.

I stared at the word thinkin' WTF? I giggle. I didn't roll because there's Glock parts all over the floor. Some of 'em might hurt me. Then I thought, "Do I edit? Naaaah, wouldn't be fun anymore." Stack knows I meant well.

I get the part. I put it in. I test it, and the striker (that's Austrian for firing pin) releases, just like it oughta. First try, no filin' no nuttin'. But the slide cycles rough. Rougher than rough. Nasty. The instructions (I know, I know) say in this case, you shorten the stop. I did, and now, while there is noticeably more travel, movement of the slide has not gotten better. At this point, the travel is not much better than my new, stock G27. Any more, and I'm afraid I'll have to take ghost rocket up on their I-screwed-up offer. GR is closed today, so no help there until Monday. I know singlestank did a successful install, but if anybody else (CGR?) has some ideas, help a brother out.

We of the peanut gallery commiserate. Many pop psychologists would say it's why we own guns.

http://www.brianenos.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard...2&topic=103 http://www.brianenos.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard...2&topic=117 These make mention of trigger options. The gunsmithing forum, parts & accessories forum, and maybe the competition forums on GT. You'll just have to weed through the "why you shouldn't have/want a lighter/better trigger" responses over there. Almost every thread here touches on the Glock's trigger. It seems to be the prevalent gripe about the gun. (Edited by bluemeanie at 1:14 pm on June 22, 2002)

I dig mine, except for the fact that some of the IDPA matches I've been to have called for the dreaded low-light tac reloads, and trying to handle the grip, two mags, and a flashlight is tough, even for large hands. I also screwed up and put ashley express sights on it.
