  1. It takes time, dedication and effort to develop the necessary index to quickly find the dot. Iron sights don't require near the work IMHO. If you're concerned an inexperienced individual in your household may need to use the Glock, I'd stick with irons. Even then, practice is necessary. Just my 0.02.

  3. Great way to get a head start on stage planning and wake up at the same time. More importantly, you're supporting the sport in a big way.
  4. Other than they probably won't be impact rated, they'll probably work.
  5. Click your username (upper RH corner), click "account settings". Look for "signature" in the menu on the left.
  6. As a legit geriatric C-class shooter (64 y/o 55%) I am here primarily to have fun and learn stuff. Folks are free to ignore my input at any time. I do reserve the right to comment when I think I have something to add to the conversation.

    Guide Rods

    I think I'd rather wrestle an uncaptured rod into an M&P than a GI rod into a 1911 though.
  8. Apparently you've never seen me accelerate out of a shooting position.
  9. I 'spose. They just look so delicate to me. But yes, they do get slammed around pretty good while firing.
  10. Running DPP on an M&P. I just cup the DPP and rack the slide by pinching it with my fingertips on the slide. I try not to put any stress on the red dot. Maybe I'm overly cautious but that's how I do it.
  11. Appendix E1 explains how mags are measured. Most Glock 17 mags with most aftermarket +5/6 mag baseplates will gauge within spec. The EGW mag gauge is the official standard. https://www.egwguns.com/uspsa-mag-gauge
  12. Thank you for the feedback. I did install one of those roller cam blocks at the same time. I *thought* I had it adjusted right. Maybe not. Thanks again!!!
  13. If that's all I had and the need was urgent. I'd much prefer a good plastic safe contact cleaner from CRC or the like. I think the Cramolin/Caig product is the best though.
  14. Not specifically on red dots but on all kinds of electronic connectors/connections. It's good stuff. $$$$$ but I think worth it. I would not hesitate to use it (sparingly, don't glob it on) on battery contacts on red dot sights when needed.
  15. No, I haven't. It's back to OEM in that area now. I wanted to try out the aftermarket but now I'm sticking with the OEM for the detent.

  17. Yep. You need to adjust the plate that has the scalloped spacers on it to fine tune it. It's a seat of the pants adjustment though. I've found that the plate has to be adjusted outwards in order to completely flip upside down bullets to a nose up attitude.
  18. I love the Hundo. It's a little tighter than my Dillon case gauge (9mm). It's a great QA check. If a round fails to seat fully and freely, it goes in the practice box. It allows me to easily check for high primers as well. Basically, if a round seats fully in the Hundo easily, it's good to go. No worries.
  19. I robbed the spring off of my SDB and put it on my 650 to trial it. I think it was on the 650 for maybe 5 rounds. The charge bar operated in a violent, "snappy" motion. I didn't like it, so I removed it.
  20. A little reading from Apex concerning the various spring combos and their effect on trigger pull weight. https://www.apextactical.com/blog/random-apex/apex_fss_install/
  21. I recently "upgraded" my 650 to use the phenolic ball and lighter spring for the shellplate index. I soon started getting crushed (sideways) primers intermittently. Cleaning everything, shellplate, primer ring etc didn't seem to help. While watching the shellplate index, it didn't always get all the way home. The shellplate notches were not centered on the primer punch at station 2 on occasion. Loading 9mm using WSP. I re-installed the Dillon OEM steel ball and spring and all seems well.
