    Open major loads- placebo or problems?

    I need to try this semi-relaxing my week hand and maybe not putting the Bob Vogel grip from hell on it.   It's hard to solve a problem like this without someone who knows whats going on with you.   I've got a local guy who's a M class open shooter, and he's a legitimate Master.  He's saying if my dot is moving something is wrong, that basically if it moves much at all something is out of sorts.  I keeps saying to build a load, and we will work the gun around it.  But I never get to see him except for match's ;p.

     

    If he is saying that, find someone else to help you.

    With all due respect to all GM and M's.  Just because they say it is the best thing going does not make it gold. It is your own personal preference and what works for you. I have shot with a GM for many years and am glad to call him a friend, and his MPX is full weight, and he has World Championships under his belt.

     

    Yup.  The difference between a heavy MPX ( 8 lbs) and  a light MPX (6 lbs) isn't squat int he grand scheme of things.

    Sorry guys.......BS.......Got a couple M's and GM's in my shop that will play that card on you any day, Light weight is where it's at for USPSA PCC. Especially in the front end, the back end really don't mean crap one way or the other. BTW....our MPX's recoil like 10/22's

     

    Meh.  Doesn't really matter much.  Light guns are quirky and heavy guns are slower to transition.  At the end of the day it mans very little.  Fast A's are all that matters.

    Neither.  The gun is just more anchored with a heavier stock.  Light front heavy stock seems to work best for me.  I can sling it around and transition quickly but the gun settles down quickly.

    Do I need to name the pro shooters who have forfeited matches because their Akai Custom Guns stopped working?  

     

    Many, dare I say MOST pro shooters have identically setup backup guns and even those sometimes fail, with the majority of them in open division in this sport being 2011s.  Back when I talked to KC while he was still on Team Glock, he had no problems supporting Glock.  His performance also had no problem supporting Glock and SJC.  He doesn't run Glock anymore because he is no longer on Team Glock.  

     

    What I'm telling you, 3gundq, is that one of the best pro shooters in the world was STILL one of the best while shooting a Glock in open.  Even though I don't shoot Glocks regularly, I have never had a problem with them when I did, including while setup for open (in fact, it ran way better out of the box then any factory 2011 you can buy today; all of them require at least ejector and mag tuning).  Hell, I fed an M&P a steady diet of 180+ pf HS6 loads and never had a problem with a Stormlake barrel.  I have had much better experience with the Glock platform than the M&P platform.

     

    For sure, a properly setup Glock open gun is not a handicap.  

     

    That being said, the one platform I will never recommend to anyone but a pro shooter with factory support is the Gold Custom Tanfoglio.  It's the only expensive gun I've ever had that chews up its barrel like it's pot metal.  If you talk to Grauffel on a good day, he might tell you that he needs a new barrel something like every 2 to 3 thousand rounds.  Some people claim it's a timing issue.  I've seen Gold Customs where all 3 lugs seem to be peening evenly.  IMHO, it's a metallurgy issue.

     

     

    Like I said, he carried 3-4 to every match and more than once he left early because he ran out of guns.  
    I was there.
    All guns break.  That is why we carry backups if we are serious about the game.  
    But when you need a backup to your backups backup, you might want to reconsider.
    (FYI, I have a Carver Glock 34 in the safe.  Never made it through a club match without a problem)

    @Whoops!

     

    So what you are telling me is there is one guy, who is also arguably the best in the world, that ran a glock in open and now he doesn't? Yeah, I know... knock yourself out dude. Get the g19 tuned up and race ready. Go out, play, have fun, all the sport is is fun.

     

    Glocks are great guns, they are just not great open division guns.

     

    He also carried 3-4 of them to every match in hopes  of making it through.  When Glock themselves with the help of SJC couldn't keep them running...  
    Good luck.
