    I bought that "Dry Fire Mag"

    in Glock

    Posted



    I've been using it for a few weeks now and can honestly say I recommend this for Glock shooters. It is extremely close to a Glock trigger break and more useful than the spongy out of battery method to me.



    What would you say is the pull weight of the break?

    Seems super light from the video...

    SIG 226 for Carry Optics - w/Fastfire, Mount & Magazine - 31.6 oz

    in Sig

    Posted · Edited by Doug*

    I shoot metal CZ's and like DA/SA. I messed around with putting a fastfire on a SIG 226R.

    Attached a picture for those interested on a scale - 31.6 oz. It's one of the few full size metal guns that will make weight that I am aware.

    Game guns are limited for here in California so if I want to try carry optics, the SIG will have to due.

    Carry Optics should be open to any gun on the NROI Production Gun List, a wight limit of 33oz makes it a Polymer gun division only. Looks like Glock, S&W M&P & XD are the chosen winners.

    Will the CZ guys switch to the polymer P09? Will there be a run on the aluminum CZ P01 (27 oz) and will the discontinued polymer CZ Phantom (29 oz) be the new Unicorn?

    If you are moving to California, BUY all the off roster pistols you ever wanted now. If you decide you don't want them later on you will not lose your money and turn a profit selling for the models in demand. Once in CA, your selection is quite limited

    As mentioned just can't bring in mags or parts greater than 10 rounds unless you possessed them within California prior to 2000 for the mags.

    Just upgraded my SP01 .. is a new hammer worth it

    in CZ

    Kind of odd that you are down to a 4.5# DA and still at 3# SA.

    It makes perfect sense if he still has the stock hammer. Tuning the DA pull requires a completely different approach than tuning the SA pull; a light SA is almost completely dependent on the length and angle of the hammer hooks. The SA shot breaks when the sear slips off the hammer hooks, but the DA shot breaks when the disco slips off the trigger bar so they're two separate mechanisms.

    The hammer spring and trigger return springs have a huge effect on the DA pull weight, have little effect on the SA pull, the SA pull is all about the hammer.

    Thank you! That is awesome information to know.

    Firing Pin Safety Wear?

    in Glock

    Posted

    Apex Tactical has a Glock Ultimate Safety Plunger that claims an extended service life.

    Here are the material specs.

    · Extremely durable 440C stainless steel

    · Hardness 48 – 54 Rc

    It is also my understanding from the owner that limiting over travel on a Glock will accelerate wear on any plunger.

    I have one and am testing it out.

    You might want to try this plastic dry fire gun. I have used in in the past for new shooters to feel the reset. Cheap alternative to SIRT.

    Laserlyte has a trainer but have never tried.

    Good luck.

    Production holster glock 34

    in USPSA/IPSC Shooting

    Posted

    I've tried tons of Production holsters for both the CZ Shadow and the Glock 34.

    The Blade Tech is ok, (both black ice and regular) but it often needs some shims to get it compliant with the 2" rule. The retention is pretty bad with a CZ, but it's ok with a Glock. The belt attachment has a bunch of funky ridges that I had to grind off because my thumb hit them occasionally. Finally, it has a bunch of screws that will eventually come loose unless you go through and loc-tite them all.

    The Ghost Stinger has that joint that can come loose. I know a lot of people like them, but they will tell you that they have had to maintain the holster with multiple adjustments and a fair dose of loc-tite.

    The Ready Tactical is excellent for the Glock 34, but completely unusable for the Shadow. I liked my Ready Tactical for the Glock so much that I ordered one for the Shadow before I was even able to locate a Shadow to buy. When I met a Shadow seller at a match, imagine my surprise when I couldn't even get the gun in the holster without entirely removing the tension adjustment screws. I tried another RT Shadow holster and it had the same problem. I don't want to throw anyone under the bus, but considering the holster didn't work for my gun - at all - the customer service I received to remedy the situation was lacking.

    The RLN DOH holster for the Shadow is excellent. It's the best Shadow holster I have tried. In fact, it took me about 2 seconds to fire my Blade Tech from my Production belt and install the RLN. I mean, it should be good because Mink has given the designer direct feedback as to how a CZ holster should work. Like the Ready Tactical, it only has two screws to worry about, and they are both tension adjustment screws. So while you don't have infinite adjustment possibilities, you do have a rock solid holster with good retention that won't come loose on your belt or require any maintenance. In my opinion, that is exactly what you want for Production division.

    Good post. Thanks. I am deciding between an Ready Tactical & RLN for my 34. I had a bad experience with Blade Tech for another gun make and agree that holsters are often gun specific depending on the manufacturer. Good to hear the RT works with the 34.
