Biloxi23

I installed a super trigger in a G24 and it worked great for 3,000 or so rounds, and tehn did exactly what you described. I called Vanek and talked with Charlie, who was very helpful. He told me he had used ome aftermarket connecters that hd ended up causing these problems. He told me that I could send the whole trigger assembly back and he would replace it. I was two days from the Gator Classic so Charlie told me to use a polished Glock 3.5 connector. It worked great and is still working now. I never did send the trigger back to Vanek.

Welcome, from the buautiful Gulf Coast! Come to the Classic. As Bwana sid, there will be some great shooters, some good shooters, and like some of us, just some shooters.

Our former mayor, Jeremiah "jerry" O'Keefe, flew F4U Corsairs with VMF-323 (Death Rattlers) at Okinawa. He was an Ace with 7 air to air kills, with five of them on one day. This is commonly known as "Ace in a Day," and there aren't too many of those. It was my honor to participate, as there are fewer of these guys each year.

Early this mroing we did an Honor flight escort/arrival at the Biloxi/Gulfport Airport. 90 WWII veterans got on the flight, and will return at 1900 this evening. The honor was mine. This is the third year that we have participated in this event for the greatest generation's warriors.

Glocks will never be slim and pretty Neither will I, but my kids love me any way. Or at least theya re willing to lie and tell me they do.

I use WSF in my Glock 40's and my STI Eagle. I shoot Precision 185 molykoted bullets over 4.6-4.7 of WSF in a Glock 24. I load the round to 1.135. In the Eagle I started out with the same load at the same length, but ended up going to 4.9 of WSF out of the 5" Bar Sto barrel. I've used some WST, and a couple of other powders briefly, but keep coming back to WSF. I get very consistent chrono readings and it meters nicely through the powder measure. (maybe that's why I get consistent readings?)

Ain't it amazing how many of the guns mentioned in this topic that were designed by JMB? FN 1910 1911 (since 1911, still cocked and locked) M-2 Browning machine gun And he also worked for Winchester and designedsom of the lever action rifles, worked on the design of the Winchester lever action shotgun (1893?) Browning automatic rifle What a designer.

I have removed small rust spots/sreas on blued guns by using a #2 pencil lead. Scrub over teh rust with the graphite "lead", and then use the eraser to erase the "lead" and rust. It has remopved rust without damaging the blueing.

Welcome. There are great matches put on at Pearlington, MS just of I-10, that are run by Tom Duchman. There are some guys from Mississippi and some guys from Louisiana that attend. Their normally scheduled match is the third Sunday of each month.

Welcome from teh Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Welcome to the forums. Where in the Magnolia State are you?

If it is a slow twist barrel, it may not like the 75 grain ammo, but it sholdn't be that big a deal at 100 yards. My 1:8 twist shoots everything from 40 grains to 90 grains pretty wll, but is at its best from 68 to 75 grains. some of the new Remingtons I've shot had pretty bad triggers, and this could contribute, as could a lot ot other things. I even had a brand new 700P that had a barrel that would not shoot in the same place twice. Remington replaced it.

Has anyone thought that this is a solution in search of a problem?

I let it fall and if the guy hands it to me, I say thanks, and then go drop it in the dud/live round bucket. Atm a alrge match there always seems to be a lot of .40 round that look like mine. I won't shoot it.

Thinking is the enemy of perfection. JOSEPH CONRAD Applied to our sport, when it is time to shoot, there is no time to think, no time for "willing." At that point it is too late to think. Both take time.

I was playing tournament level paintball when the first two finger triggers came out. a lot of the time I found myself using my middle finger as opposed to my index finger, or even more often than two fingers. If you guys think there has been an arms race with pistols, you should see the high end, pro level paintball equipment. We started in the 80's with 10 shot PGP's, powered by a 12 gram CO2. 2003, when my back got too bad, it was electric Dark Angels with poowered agitator feeders with infra-sensors. My last paintball gun priced out at about $3,500.00 for the gun, feeder, nitrogen/compressed air tank and a few other goodies.

4.6-4.7 grains of WSF for a Glock 24 with 185 Precision moly's. I was loading 4.9 of WSF withm the 180 grain jacketed out of the G24. I am now shooting a Bar-Sto barreled STI Eagle and load 4.8 of WSF with teh 185 moly's that gives me a PF of 169-171. The WSF meters really well, and seems to be rally sonsistent from shot to shot.m the last time I chrono'd, ten shots were withing plus or minus 10 fps, with three shots were exactly the same velocity. This was at 74 degrees. The shot that were teh samw were not in a row, but all were very close.

So Benny Hill was right. Now there's a shocker (sarcasm intended). Where else can you get free advice from gunsmiths with the knowledge of Bennie Hill and oithers on this forum. Cool!

I keep clicking on the avatar, trying to see the rest of teh clip, and not the link.

Holes in the slide, like on the Glock 34, 35, and 24. The barrell cannot have holes/ports for Limited, but the slide may be ported.

It's called a "Barney bullet" becuase Barney Ffyfe of the Andy Griffith Show was only allowed to carry one bullet. He carried it in his shirt pocket. When he loaded his revolver, he only had the one bullet, thus a "Barney Bullet."

Talk about cuttin' it close! I'm in with shooter #230. I was fortunate enough to shoot this match in 2010 and 2011, and you couldn't find a better bunch of people anywhere, and the food is terrific too.

That guys sounds exactly like a guy that used to post on the "Line of Duty" site a few years ago. He went by the name "Eric the Mall cop." But then again, you run into these guys everywhere.

This should be moved to the humor forum.

At the 2011 Louisiana Gator classic, the officials showed up just as we were getting ready to shoot a stage, and actually pulled the chrono ammo out of magazines that everyone had loaded, ready to shoot. The 8 rounds were placed in a plastic bag with the shooter's name on it and when you got to the chrono station they pulled you bag out and tested the ammo. The Gator is a level II match.
