10+1 max, must "comply with rules for any IDPA pistol division before optic is installed". Appendix C "Carry Optics" 1.1.2A
-
The ghost can be ran as single stack, Ben Stoeger Pro shop sells a "shim" for a lack of a better term. I bought a few but have not ran them yet, looks to me the shim will hold the mag roughly centered in the pouch.

I get the same on my 1050/elbow drive hang nail bullet feeder, and it is always Win or blazzer, but I have no extraction problems shooting from Glocks.

What is your overall goal?
^^^ I run a Lone Wolf stainless and 15# for IDPA, and the factory for carry.

I use 3.0 of titegroup with blue 147 fp at 1.135 for minor. in a stock gen 4 17 I get 132 PF and in a gen 4 34 with a 13# spring I get 135 PF. Sorry I'm of no use to you for 40 loads.

It may not be an option if you definitely want a gen 5 though.
With the new carry optic and prod rules I would be as happy with a gen three and a dremel tool grip job. Toss in a few spring and you have a trigger as good, if not better, and if you have short thumb a gen 3 34 mag release. Only thing missing is the back strap being able to change, and no MOS. I be waiting a bit to see if the gen 5 come in MOS trim for a while, but by then we may be talking about a gen 6

I carry a gen 3 19 also, I have shot the gen 5 and liked it, not going to trade in yet, too many round down range with the gen 3 to give up on her. As far as g34s go I have a gen 4, and I have a gen 3, I shoot the gen 4 in USPSA and IDPA, the gen 3 was one of those deals you can't pass up, so it is just a back up. MY dad just got the gen 5 34 and I have to say I like it better then the 3 or 4, I like the no finger grooves, the grip feels better, the flared mag well isn't that much of a real mag well, but it's not bad. The trigger is much better then the stock gen 4, at least to me it feels better. If I was going to get a new 34 it would be the gen 5, but I'm waiting to see if the gen 5 17 will start being made in MOS trim, for me if I'm going to run a dot I think the 17 would handle a little faster,

Paul Bunyon club in Tacoma. Also look at Marysville.

Two shooters at my local USPSA club are running 9mm Rocks Islands and have been real happy, only problems have been self caused trying to tune springs to loads. One shooter is running a double stack Rock Island in limited minor and it has been running like a champ.

PM9s are sweet! The colt competitions are nice, but the only one I have got to shoot the ejector bent after two mags of factory 115 win white box(brand new gun). Owner sent it back to colt 2 months ago and no one at colt will respond to calls or email. Hope he gets his gun back.

Everyone precives recoil differently.
This, I shoot a 34 with 147gr coated lead and a 13# recoil spring, to me it feel soft(133PF). A friend shoot a 34 with the stock set up and factory 115 win white box and feels it is much softer then 147s, everyone is different. The nice thing with glock is the cost to tinker is not to high. Look at Redhill or bladetech for holsters, I've been running the ghost mag pouches and been happy, and the price is low.

I went with the boss, it seemed to get the best reviews, and it has been flawless. Well build, and lots of flexibility as far as set up goes.

Been $40 for years in my area, I quite using them when I found another store is selling Win small pistol for $29.90 per thousand.
-
I think it will, look at any gun mag or web sight and you see pistols dressed up with a dot. I also think quite a few people who may be having eye problems will like it, but I think at some clubs it will be a slow to embrace it. They're is going to be folks that will dislike it, same ones that are mad about the new rules.

I had that chance to shoot a Colt Competition 9mm a few weeks ago and it is off to Colt for repair. After two or three mags of Winchester White Box 115 factory rounds ejection was all over including between the eyes. Looking at the ejector it is plainly bent to the opposite side of the ejection port and down. This is a brand spanking new gun,(not mine) cleaned up and first trip to the range. All and all, while the Colt worked, what nice shooter, I am really hoping for the best, my friend was pretty broken up buying his first Colt and first 1911 to get one that didn't shoot out of the box. Guess we will see what happens next, it was sent out a week ago.

Many times the ROs are fitted better than the loaded guns. If you go with a loaded, make sure that the serial number starts with NM, that lets you know it was fitted in the US and will generally be fitted better. I think all the RO guns are fitted in the US, but can't guarantee that
Well that's interesting. You would think the lower price point would miss out on the hand fit in the US.

Here is one opinion. https://loadoutroom.com/thearmsguide/springfield-armory-1911-a1-loaded-vs-range-officer/
My take is the RO comes with a well fitted match grade barrel and a good frame and slide. Those are the three most important parts of the pistol. Every single one I've handled was well made. If you don't like the aesthetics, call the SA custom shop. They do good work for not a lot of money.
I build my own 1911s, so I know the three most time consuming, pain-in-the-ass, boring things to do are fitting slide to frame and then fitting the barrel (ALL BY HAND). That is already done for you on the RO. When the internal parts eventually wear or break, replacing most of them is easy. Buy an EGW bar stock slide stop. If the hammer hooks go, buy an EGW extra light or Keonig hammer. These parts should drop right in. Hardened sears last seemingly forever. If you break a thumb safety or grip safety, the new ones will have to be fit. That's about it, except for changing springs every now and then.
The RO Elite is an even better deal.
Thank you for your reply. The only reason I was even thinking of the "loaded" was to match an early 2000's 45. It has been fantastic.
-
So what I'm reading is the The RO target elite is a good buy. Saving up funds for one and have been trying to figure if saving a little more for the loaded would be worth the extra money.

147 Blues round or flat work for me in a gen 4 34, don't notice much for smoke. I'm running 3.1grs of tight group. make sure you plunk test, the one gen 5 I've looked at wouldn't chamber the same seating depth as the gen 4, needed to be shorter.

+1, Dual layer Red Hill Tactical. super stiff and good retention.

Thanks for the info. I have the RX model as well and have see several posts about brass hitting the scope so that concerns me. I have the GGI rod coming already and plenty of 1911 springs on hand from my Limited and SS guns to try.
Good deal be interested to here what pound spring works for you. I'm hopping the weather gets above the teens so I can do some testing soon. One thing I've found with the GGI fat rod set up is the take down lever binds up sometimes, but a little wiggle on the rod will help it rotate.

Okay, thanks. Is the flat point a truncated cone?
BTW, are you running the factory recoil system/springs or the GGI rod and 1911 springs.
It's a truncated cone, and I'm running the GGI fat rod with a 15# spring at this time, going to start testing spring once the weather gets better. The gun ran fine with the stock recoil set up but I was getting brass hits to the dot(RX model) so I'm hoping I can tune with the recoil spring to help with that.

Blue Bullets 147grn round nose or flat point with titegroup is working well in mine.

What gen of glock is this?
carry optics division
in IDPA Shooting

If it works for ESP and fits the box your good to go, that's how it reads to me.
