I remember the dog, and wondered who he belonged to...... nice dog, too, but he sure didn't belong on the RANGE during a match!

Ditto. Dave's one of the good guys.
Enjoy!!

I've shot this twice in the last month (two different clubs)........ shot it 5% better yesterday, but still need to get much FASTER on the trigger.
Smokin' run that Harmon had, I think I was RO on that stage...and it looked sweet. This one is kinda fun!

You can't miss this one.......it ROCKS!!
Mark, hope to see you and Tracy there!

+2 on the Vanek...... closest to a 1911 trigger in a Glock you'll get.

Dave,
I hate that for you, too, man. You are welcome to come up here to DFW and use one of the practice ranges I go to, if you want to take a long weekend and just get in plenty of practice. We could always use photographers in Dallas, you know!

I don't have a manual, but I "DO" know who to ask when I have questions.

Dave,
Send Harmon a PM. He's probably the resident powder guru, since I think he has tried (and has data on) just about every powder and bullet combo known to man.

My .02--
Sights: I like Heinie (add fiber front if you want one from Dawson too)
Stock Glock sights suck. That is the main weakpoint of the gun, otherwise, doesn't need much.
Grip tape: Eric Wesselman's TruGrip grip tape is the best, hands down.
I know a lot of people jazz up the trigger, but mine is stock and I don't really feel that it holds me back. Dryfire, dryfire, dryfire.
Good luck!

There are a couple of people in our local area (DFW, TX) that are shooting the G19...... and if I remember correctly, they are at least a "B" if not higher.
I started out with one, too.....just have big hands and got too much slide bite with the 19, so switched to a 34/35.

I'd say a toss up between old school Ruger Mark II (although mine is so old, it isn't called that....not even a Mark I...... it's OLD!! heirloom) and then I like the Walther P22. It's a lot of fun, too. Tell him to go to Bullet Trap up your way and check them out.

Welcome aboard!
Try this page for info on matches in your area:
Sounds like you are looking for 3-gun..... info can be found about that as well.

Looks great Dave!
Here's a mod pic showing the serrations:

Both are good fun and trigger time......just slightly different rules.
Main differences-IDPA will require cover garment, and the way to shoot the course of fire is pre-determined and described at the beginning of each stage... you also cannot drop a partially loaded mag without recieving a penalty.. IDPA round counts are usually slightly less, as well. USPSA tends to be more free style, overall. Try both, enjoy both........ I was shooting both weekly until recently, when I decided to focus on my USPSA shooting only. Remember, if it has a clipboard and a timer, it's a game.

Sportsmans Warehouse........ Lewisville. They've got plenty.
If you want to try some out, and they ARE sold out (doubtful), I've got about a little less than half of a 1lb. jug that you are welcome to have and play with.

Wife and I just completed TX CHL course over the 4th of July weekend. You have to be a resident of TX for 6 months minimum before you can apply. Now we are waiting the 12 stinking weeks to actually get through the background check, processing and receive our CHLs. We cannot legally carry until then.
That sucks, and I feel your pain. I did want to mention, however, that the 6 month residency requirement in the state has been superceded by new law. Once you have established residence, you may apply immediately. ( I was here 30+ days and started my process )
Good luck on going out to the range and blowing off some steam. I hope they catch those #$$ that did it, too.

You'll hear plenty on this topic.
I've done it, and never had any problems...... but if you really want to be sure, get an aftermarket barrel and not worry at all.Mike

Patty and I were fortunate enough to be there while it was being filmed, and spent a little time with BJ and Tim. It was quite the shooting display, needless to say. Good luck to BJ.

I would indeed like to bring it back, in some form or fashion. I am going to start looking into what it would take to make it a reality. I also happen to know someone who has put on a big match or two who can provide additional insight(hint,hint, Doubletap Championship.....paging scorch
) and maybe explore the possibilities.Mike

And my request is on it's way, too.......
Thank you very much from all of us, I'm sure!Mike

Good stuff so far, keep it coming!

CDNN Investments, +1000. Best bang for buck.

I'm interested in finding out what steps are involved for planning/setting up/coordinating a 'big' match. Prob a Level II match, I'd think..... I've got a crazy idea that I'd like to put one together that's been missing for a while, (some of you Texans may know what match needs to come back into existence!) but since I'm a total newbie to this sort of thing, I figured I'd ask beforehand if this was plain out crazy or if it was doable?
I'm thinking something like 7 or 8 stages, all one day......... prize table, etc.
That also brings up prizes...... how is that done? Call and beg? Ask for donations? Buy some with entry fee money?
I'm at least thinking 6 months out, if that helps. Any and all details VERY appreciated.
I love this sport!

+1 on Sportsmans Warehouse in Lewisville. I buy my primers and powder there, and they do have a great selection and good prices.
