[Looking To Start in CO Division]

Gen 5 17 MOS with a delta point pro.

[Blue Bullets 125g 9mm Questions]

I load the 125 blue RN at 1.080" for a gen 5 17, don't use 231 I use sport pistol, 3.8gr gets me 132PF. I had to bump back to 1.080" to get them to plunk test 100% in the gen 5 barrel.

[Prime me: precise and repeatable trigger pulls.]

Give Johnny Glock a call, bet he can answer your question.

[Glock extended magazines and base plates]

I think the 22 round factory mags are too long for the gauge. Tarran bases have been good to me, but I'm only running 140mm, I get 22 rounds. 

 

[What belt do you use?]

Wilderness Instructors belt, 5 stitch 1.5", that is my every day belt. I did pick up a First Spear belt to try and I'm liking it. I've been looking hard at the Dominate Defense belt also.

[Most Popular IDPA ESP and SSP Pistols]

Glock 19 is #1 in my area, followed by Glock 34, then 1911's in 45 acp. Every now and then I see a Smith or Walther, but Glock seems to be the go too. 65% are running SSP, but I'm seeing Carry Optics numbers growing.

 

[Which one is the most reliable red optic these days? for Carry Optic]

DPP ran for 8k, no matter what dot you use plan on buying 2.

[Shield Arms]

Mag is in hand. I've ran 200 rounds, only issue is with 3 or more rounds loaded mag will no drop free.

 

[Shield Arms]

I pre ordered for the first batch, got an email in early November stating the coating was not up to par, that is the last I have heard. Got to say that I'm not real impressed with the company, sent some emails ask for a update on the mags and have not gotten a response. 

 

[Glock17 Gen 5 Suppressor]

Look at Bowers Group, he makes some really nice cans, and he stands bye them.

 

[Build up in Gen 5 muzzle crown?]

1.5 years on a gen 5 17 with 147 blues and sport pistol and nothing more than a bore snake every month or so are have not see any build up of any kind.

[Gen 5 G17 - ammo selection]

124 blazzer brass, yep it will be a touch hot, like around 140+ PF, but it shoots lights out in my gen 5 17 and 34.

[What's the most unsafe thing you've seen at a match?]

Was setting steel last Saturday at an IDPA match, was an unloaded table start, after setting the steel walked back up range  and the next shooter already had pistol and mag on the table, the whole squad was down resetting. 

[Glock 34 production mag release]

Hyve Technologies.

 

[Which for first Glock?]

I test ran CO with a friends  Gen 5 34 to see if I liked it, I did but I run a Gen 5 17 MOS for CO. I liked the 34 but shoot the 17 better, don't know why just do. That said if i was going to shoot prod also I would go with a 34. In my load testing a 133 PF load in the 17 jumps to a 135 PF in my gen 3 34.

Arredondo?

Thats the two I thought of.

[Para extended Mag bases]

Friend is looking to get his old Para going again. Is anyone making a good extended base pad that will work for a P13? I know a double stack 45 acp is a little old school, but shoot what ya got! Back then we always ran Grams pads, but it looks like they are no more, and the guy he talked to at Dawson had a good laugh about him even asking. Any ideas?

[Frame weight in Carry Optics allowed?]

Show me where it "is allowed". Just asking.

[Blue Bullets 135TC oal]

Gen 5 17 and Gen 5 34 135 blue TC I load at 1.125 with 3.5gr sport pistol and Winchester small pistol primer. Love this load, and also the 147 flat point at 1.130" and 3.2gr of sport pistol, both have work well for me. As far as recoil impulse, I like the 135's in the 34 and the 147's in the 17.

I've tried a few of the big name full kits but have gone back to the TTI GM connector kit in my Gen 4's and now 5's.  In the end it's all personal preference.

I'm with you. I have thought about trying Apex or a few of the others, but it is hard to beat the TTI for the cost.

[New Sig Romeo3 MAX coming soon.]

Hope it's brighter on a sunny day than the Romeo 1.

Any word on what type of mounting footprint this will use?

 

It would be really nice if the industry standardized on a couple of footprints for MRDS.  RMR type for compacts and DPP for larger competition optics, for instance. 

Couldn't agree more, one footprint would be great! The RMRs I have shot don't impress me, the dark green tint in the window is no go for my eyes, makes the dot hard to see.

[Glock 17 Gen 5 for Production?]

Liking the gen 5 17 mos fs, as for holsters, Red Hill tactical for the win! I really like how rigid the double layer red hill holsters are.

 

[Gen 5 GLOCK for Production Division]

The gen 5 mos 17fs  is what it sounds like will meet your needs. Dawson makes none co witness sights for them. I picked one  for carry optics this year and I'm thinking of getting another for prod.
