  1. Oh and if you like the Mantis(spelling) stuff they had at least 3 booths, so they may have some deals coming up.
  2. Agree, and Dillon just keeps banking on the name and brings nothing new to the table and just looks at you like you are stupid just asking if anything new might be in the works. I will most likely be up grading to mark 7 at some point. I wouldn't if i still had my first 1050, sold it to help a friend, the newer replacement 1050 has been nothing but a pain.
  3. Got the Glock performance trigger, have not done any live fire yet, but after a bit of dry fire I'm not impressed. Think just a TTI grandmaster kit and some polishing is what works for me.
  4. I really haven't had a chance to put to many rounds thru it yet. So far no issues.
  5. Small straight blade screwdriver and a small pair of needle nose pliers is all I've needed.
  6. TTI, for the price are hard to beat, always on sale around most holidays. No matter the brand find someone with a mag gauge before going to a level 2 and up match.
  7. I found the same, tight chamber and short, with coated really need to check and load short.
  8. I will second the Springfield being a good starter 2011, the 4.25 I have has been good. I feel you about not be the tinker type, but after having one I started to. My thought was I have other guns to play the game with and was willing to try doing a few things. I did the trigger, drop in kit from Infinity, only thing that didn't work was the leaf spring, too short to catch the sear. If you can take a CZ apart the 2011 shouldn't be anything to be worried about. Or pay a bit more and go with the Staccato, good track record for working out of the box.
  9. I was too stupid to say NO. Old match director ghosted the club, I had only been shooting with them for little over a year, but had more competition shooting under my belt then anyone else(new club). About a month out from the first match of the year, not sure why, but the new guy every one was an ass too was getting called. Note to clubs, don't be an ass to new shooters, they could save your club. What do we do? 5 years latter match numbers are up 70%, high earner for the host range five years in a row. I now have in place a core group of guess match directors to take a little bit of load off of me. With progress come consequences, now having trouble finding anyone willing to take over, host club wants more, as in can you do steel challenge and USPSA and IDPA and 3 gun, no, no,no! At some point you need to say no. I know it is my fault, when I took over the club it was a mess, no structure, no one really knew the rules for the game they wanted to play(witch has been the biggest issue). At one point last year I set up the match with 2 or 3 people helping, got all the tablets going and got everyone registered and shot the match as a walk on shooter, just walked up to a squad and shot. I really miss shooting, it was so much fun, was the best I've shot at my own club in 5 years, didn't even plan on shooting that day, but winning a match in flip flops is fun.
  10. I like sport pistol, cleaner that 231, can't remember my 147 load, but for 125 Gallant coated 3.9-4.0 grains should be close. I'm now loading for gen 5s so I load way shorter then the gen 3 will take. My load currently is 4.2 grains sport pistol @ 1.100", mixed range pick up brass and a CCI 500. At my home range works to run 137 Power factor in a gen 5 17 and 132 power factor in a gen 5 19.
  11. Get a 15# recoil spring on a stainless guide rod and 4.5# striker spring. After that some 147gr coated bullets and pick a powder that works (lots of options). 3 ish grains of titegroup is a good starting point.
  12. Also the "purple" syntech is loaded to match HST defensive ammo for practice, the "red" syntech is loaded to match the American Eagle FMJ line, other than the stuff marked Action Pistol with the USPSA logo.
  13. The "normal" Syntech is loaded closer to FMJ range ammo velocities the the "Action Pistol" USPSA stuff, but is a bit cheaper than FMJ, and from the little I've shot is good stuff, it may not be as close to the power factor floor as the "action pistol" stuff.
  14. I don't think I've shot a local, section, or area match that I wasn't the first shooter on the first stage of day one. It use to peak my anxiety, would rack up a mike or two and find a no shoot. Last two year for some reason at our section match, barely light, walk through done, the RO just getting ready to call the order jokingly I walk to the start, and as normal my name was called as first up. Not sure why, but this time it didn't bug me, ended the match winning my class/division. I just finely got to the point it is going to be what it's going to be, I'm not if the fight for the overall, just want to shoot my class or better. Once that clicked I've shot above my paper class and it has proved to me that classification is a good base to judge a shooters basic skill, but not the shooters true skill, that will show at level two and up matches.
  15. I would 100% agree, it is the Glock/ M&P for the folks that don't like the other. I would add that it is also the P320 for those that don't like them either. I do think in the full size duty gun platform it dose offer some good stuff, is it better than a P320 or Glock, or smith and wesson, I don't know.
  16. I have the 4.25 prodigy and have been happy so far, my only issue has been with the Atlas too less guide rod locking up now and than.
  17. Why would it not be, the Hellcat is, and the Hellcat Pro, Springfield would be stupid to not fill out the form.
  18. Yes, Yes it was. I'll be honest other than a 1911 I got in 1999 I have had no use for Springfield, always hated the XD line, but I will say that the hell cat and the Echelon have some good stuff going for them, HS Produkt has put together a nice package. We will just have to see how it pans out.
  19. As long as Springfield keeps the grip zone off it we should be good
  20. Fair enough. But on the serous note they got the Hellcat Pro on the list, for the heavy hitters.
  21. All they have to do is 500 and ask show it to Troy, why wouldn't Springfield make sure it gets on the list.
  22. Well I finely took the Springfield to a match. At this point I've only put about 500 rounds thru it. It runs, not sure what else to say. Like the for end, like the grip and stock, don't hate colt smg mags, other than loading them. Over the winter I plan on getting a hydraulic buffer and a dot with a bigger window. For as much as I plan on shooting PCC it will work fine, price point is good for me. I do hope the aftermarket gets on board and supports it, mag well and all the other goodies.
  23. Welcome back. I to have a weakness for a glock 17. I have also shot a 47, that said I'll keep my 17. The 47 was fine, and I felt with more than 3 mags I could be fine with it. For me I have put to many rounds thru and am too use to the feel of the trigger and recoil impulse of my 17, but could totally mve to the 47 with enough time on the platform. That said I get what the US boarder patrol was after with this contract.
