  1. No, the sight is part of the barrel. It would have to be milled off and a notch cut or a dove tail added.
  2. I have a S&W no dash 4inch 686. I want to change the front sight, but I believe the barrel is pinned. What are my options and who would you recommend sending it to? I am looking to fit it with a FO front sight, 0.1 or so wide. Thanks in advance.
  3. In a 929, actually Yes, It was DAMN hot and I'd get burned by the forcing cone. The cylinder was hot as hell too. 9mm, 160 grain Bayou bullets and 124. Never liked 147 in revolvers, they don't load that great.
  4. I have not seen it is at least 18 months. Anyone know why it isn't around?
  5. TG in a revolver will make the cylinder and forcing cone too hot to handle.
  6. Anyone know how to wire a PAct Club timer for a silent start? The idea is that the shooter would cross a IR beam nd the timer would start, no sound. Thanks.
  7. Atlas is amazing. Got a Titan today. I could not be more pleased. Adam is a great guy and his customer service is the best. IMHO, it sets an industry standard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amceuxWC7Rg
  8. Got my new baby today. This gun is SWEET! Adam at Atlas is a great guy to deal with and the service he and his company provides is beyond world class. I only wish I did this sooner! 200 rounds today, no hiccups at all. PERFECT! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amceuxWC7Rg More to follow, enjoy.
  9. You can probably fix your gun with a good bench grinder and a hammer. Or maybe take a dremel to it after you drink a bottle of whiskey.
  10. You might want to try to use some Velcro with a sticky back. Cut a piece to fit on the bump and stick it on. Use the hook side of the velcro, and use heavy duty 10lb or greater velcro. You will immediately feel a big difference. And it stays on very well.
  11. If you model this change mathematically, overall finishes of top shooters are affected only slightly, but enough to make differences in who wins. While a simple model predicts this to be somewhat linear across all shooters, if you factor in skills (calling shots for example) lower level shooters will see their final scores increase more because they will focus on making hits and therefore the matches will be pretty slow. Watching someone shoot an 18 second stage in 40 seconds in annoying and can increase the time it takes to complete a match. I shoot a lot of IDPA. IMHO, the rule changes just lead to endless range lawyering and make it hard to have a consistent match. Different SOs call stages at monthly club matches AND sanctioned matches differently so in many cases, everyone is shooting a different match. To me, this makes it less of a sport.
  12. Honestly, with a little polishing a 3lb connector and a few lighter springs, you can get a great trigger for less than $25 bucks. Happy to give more info if you are interested.
  13. This is one of the videos that helped me with the decision to buy one. My wife needed a short notice replacement for her game gun. I swapped all the competition specific parts from her game gun and its competition ready now. Definitely needed magwell, re-springing, and mag release change. Super easy. Thanks! I bought it for my daughter. I have to say that it runs like a sewing machine and is very accurate. I did the same stuff you did and I am really pleased. Enjoy.
  14. Here's my initial impression. Overall, I like it, but it is not competition ready.
  15. The Colt Competition Pistol could work out pretty well. The sights are ok once you change the fiber rod. You will want a trigger job, a replacement recoil spring, mag well and longer mag release with a lighter spring (I just cut off 2 coils), but for the price it aint bad. Mine is accurate and has been reliable eat least over the first 1000 rounds.
  16. Next time hang around and meet some of the people.
