Ditto on above. I used to use Blade-tech exclusively, but the wait time did me in...switched to Comp-tac, haven't looked back.
As far as who carries, sometimes the holster section on GT has various models for sale, worth checking out.

I've done 4.8 of W231 with 180g Montana Gold loaded to 1.135, this is in a G35. Made 175PF........

The brass one weighs in a 5.5 ounces, and I think it is one of the heaviest. I don't know the weight of the newest Dawson heavy ICE magwells, but they may be another option.

I don't know that you can make a 35 shoot flat and balanced with factory ammo.... customized loads certainly make it easier to achieve- but with that in mind, here's a couple suggestions:
Brass magwell, extended tungsten guide rod w/ 15lb. spring, good grip tape (Tru Grip!!) and some heavier extended basepads ( like the Dawson +4/5 add-ons). These few things will change the way the gun feels and handles, but you'll need to find what combo plus other tweaks work best for you.

Come out on Wednesday nights to the Elm Fork Shooting Park and check out an IDPA match put on by Dallas IDPA. We welcome new shooters, and will give a briefing on safety, what to expect, etc. Our club president is a member here, I'm sure he'll chime in as well, or perhaps send you a PM. There are several classes taught on an ongoing basis, as well. Good luck, and ask any questions that you may have.

When is Area 6? If it is a couple days away, I'll buy a box, get out my chrono, and try and get you some better answers.... I wouldn't want to just 'hope' to make major at a big match.

Congrats!!

I'll be there, along with some of both the East Texas and DFW contingent.

FWIW,
I've ALWAYS had great quality and service from Comp-tac.
I don't think you'd go wrong with them........

I emailed and asked about this. The April 1 date was due to the back end/server side having work done. The regular classifiers will run at usual time.

If you can give more detail to your locale, it'll make pointing you in the right direction much easier. The metroplex is a big place.

Custom Glock Racing is where I ordered all her stuff from.
Good people, good service.
I wanted to add, too, that I experimented with several powders and several bullet weights to find a load that she likes, makes major, and that she shoots well. I feel like that is a big part of it.

My wife shoots a G35, with extended tungsten guide rod, brass magwell, and the world's best grip tape........and she handles it well. Sometimes too well........she's beating me.

It was a great match, and Patty and I both had a good time.
Thanks to all that helped make it a reality!

Give me a Paypal address, I'll donate towards the ammo fun. This is fun to track!!

I'll chime in and say that the 4.4 that Andy loads is about the perfect load, too........shoots soft, accurate.........good stuff!

Cool deal. Glad it was something that easy.

Looks like rain in the forecast.............I'm guessing we'll shoot rain or shine, correct?
Looking forward to it!!

CR Speed is worth it, but if you are only going to shoot Production, you do have other options. A good double-thick leather work belt from somewhere like Tractor Supply will do in a pinch, or one of the Galco belts that are a Wilderness knock off as well. Also, check want ads on some of the popular gun forums.... people gain and lose weight enough they sell quite often.

Niiice..........

If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, call Caylor Custom Guns in Anna (outside McKinney) and he can hook you up, might be able to go and have done while waiting. Call and ask, can't hurt.

The pics don't do it justice. I happened to get to actually handle it, and it is VERY nice. Looks brand new. Sweet deal on that one!!

A new USPSA club in Greenville, Texas.......about an hour outside of Dallas....... the first match was a fun one!!

Perhaps next time around we can have it relocated to somewhere a little more centralized, as well.
