I'll post my experience since there seems to be a little bit of doubt on validity. I don't post much but I've been around a while so I hope that buys me some credibility. I bought one for myself quite a few months ago. I liked it a lot. Johnny did spend 30 minutes on the phone with me discussing its use etc. I was impressed. The trigger group is really good. My brother bought the newest one he started advertising and got it in today. It's even better. Really light. The trigger gauge said 2.5 lbs but it's a cheap POS and it honestly feels lighter. Almost no pretravel or overtravel. Just a great trigger. Anyway, thought I'd chime in on this lovely "discussion".

Thanks for the replies. And I may try shaping my plug to start.

I'm still relatively new to Glocks. (less than a year.) I'm looking for a definitive answer as to the legality in production of the filling the back strap and then shaping it. I've been told yes and no. I emailed USPSA/Nroi etc a few weeks ago and haven't heard back. I want to do a diy job as I found a few links and it seems easy enough. Any thoughts? I do have a plug in it now and it's beat to hell and still manages to catch the occasional mag. I'd prefer just a nice smooth transition.

Someone would bitch no matter what. Hell, I'm local and didn't get in either it's not like it was some conspiracy.

I didn't mean it to sound like I was complaining about weight. I'm going to try the striker spring in my G34 to get an even comparison. I may try the other tweaks and I'll definitely try the reset adjustment. I'm very pleased. Thanks again.

I ordered one Johnnys drop in trigger set ups for my G35 I'm setting up for limited. Cost was $120 shipped. I'm coming from CZs for many years so I'm not a Glock expert by any means. My G34 has a Vanek Classic trigger in it. That is the only trigger I have for comparison. Install took about 10 minutes but I'm pretty sure most of the drop ins are similar. Anyway, I'm really impressed. It is just slightly heavier than my Vanek but the pretravel is almost entirely gone. It is really a drastic difference. It is very crisp for a glock. The reset is almost the exact same as the Vanek. I would say at this point I prefer it just based on dry fire and the amazing lack of pretravel (yes trigger safety is still working). I'm going to shoot it next week a little and see how it performs but A+ so far.

I just had the exact opposite problem and switched them. I'll trade you a .215 for your .245.

Try the screw that holds down the mag catch spring. If you look into the frame you will see a flat head screw that holds tension on it. It effects the double action pull. If that is the problem take it out and loctite it in place.

Don't stress over it. When you take it down all the way take your time and really try to understand where every part goes. It helped me to record my own takedown so I could get it back together easier. I still think the trickiest part is the mag release spring and the trigger spring. It isn't complicated it just takes several tries for me to get it right.

While, I've only shot a little with M&P open guns I've shot the Deltapoint and handled the Trijicon RMR on an M&P. I've also shot the Fastfire and cmore sts on other guns. I think the Trijicon is the best choice. I liked the size of the glass on the deltapoint but do not like the triangle and the 3.5 moa dot is too small. I would also look into the Cmore CTS. Haven't seen one in person but looks interesting.

I hang two targaets at my indoor range on the same carrier. I do different draws fire two on each reload and two on each again. Like we did in Phil Strader's class I only tape non A hits. I do not live fire practice often though. Almost all dry fire using Steve's book and a few other drills I've picked up.

I have one that runs like a top. Once I switched to 9mm I did have to switch to a sideways to get 100% reliability but I haven't had a problem since. I have two big sticks that hold 26 and 27 and they work 100% as well. I am done shooting open (just can't get used to it after 6 months) and considering selling it but I would never feel a need to "upgrade" to an STI as I do not feel at a disadvantage with the gun.

Chris, looking at Aug for a classifier match at CAPS. I am shooting the Rockcastle/AR15 ProAm that weekend so I am going to try to get someone to take over as MD and have it be a special classifier match. Will let you know. Tim Tim, is CAPS a club? If so, where is it? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=CAPS+USPSA

I've seen it done both ways. We shoot through it at our local club but I've also been to other clubs that used it as walls.

I had one 8 or 9 years ago. The trigger was light and smooth and it was heavy like I want. The magwell was really square and didn't taper well and the reset was really long. It shot great but that reset was the real killer for me. I shoot a Shadow now and would have then if the SP01 existed back then.

I'm sure this is the reason. Mine has a lot of wear on it after a year of use. The dust cover and trigger guard have bare shiny metal showing. I don't really mind as it shows I practice.

I currently shoot a CZ custom shadow. I owned a Matt Mink CZ85. I would use none of the above and go with Stuart (eerw on here). He put out the best trigger by far. A local guy had a trigger done by him and it was quite a bit better than mine.

And I get to shoot his stages every month. I do hate him sometimes though.

I would like to lodge a formal complaint. How is it possible that you start a thread with her name in it and not include a pic? For shame.

If you have them all already just try each and see which one you shoot better. If they are all reliable then it is all personal preference anyway.

I think if someone started offering that service they could find quite a few of us interested. Did you thread the factory barrel and fit the cone to that?

The comp is the hard part. I wanted to do a cz open gun and could not get anyone to do it for me. I gave up and bought a used caspian.

My only concern would be the new guy shooting factory 9mm his first time and not getting to count his score. I have seen a few factory loads (old Blazer especially) that are really close to 125 when I chronoed them. I know most of the Winchester white box is okay but there are some loads that are subminor. For those of us that shoot regularly and know the rules I think it's fine as long as the match doesn't slow down. I'd rather find one of my loads going under at a local than something I paid big money to shoot. While my chorno may say its okay I don't have the ability or time to test my loads under all conditions so it gives you one more look at it.

I started shooting some Bayou Bullets 135 grain with 6.3 grains of autocomp. Only been through 200 rounds but no leading whatsoever. I'll keep going with it until I see some. It chronoed at 166 so I will need to bump a little bit but I just started with this load. I'm also new to open so the only comparison I have is 124 grain montana gold cmj at 6.9 grains of AC. They are close enough for me. The 124s are at 170 pf though.

How short are the shorties? I run Grams 13-coil springs in both my 170s and my 140s. The 170s have Dawson basepads, but the 140s are running Grams 11mm pads. Not sure of the length. Well short of 140mm though. Holds 18 rounds. They are a little shorter than my CZ shadow mags.
