I was looking at the medium flat from atlas or a long curved. The open gun that I have been shooting has a medium flat and my limited has a short curved. I definitely like the position of the medium better but I cannot tell you if curved vs flat makes a difference. Or if it is just how far out the trigger is. The one I put in my new build is a long flat. But it wont be done for a week or so more.

I am wondering what everyone's opinion is on triggers. My limited gun has a curved trigger and the open gun that I have been shooting for a couple years has a flat trigger. I am finally in the finishing stages of building my own open gun and I put a flat trigger in it. However, I am really thinking of a curved. For the people that have a strong opinion one way or the other what is reasoning for it?

Would anyone who has used the xylan mags say that they are worth the extra money? I just built a new open gun and am going to be buying all new magazines. I am very interested in the xylans if they hold up better and do not have any jamming issues. I built my pistol with a CK arms steel grip if that makes a difference.

Steve Anderson’s first book and podcasts have been my focus for the last three weeks. I started match mode yesterday. But today being the first time I got to live fire was when I realized I had a problem. I should be able to live fire and will definitely be dry during every day till the match.

Yeah. i have been doing 80% if my dry fire as fast as I possibly can with the last 20% as fast as I can shoot with exceptable sight picture. But I didn’t notice how much the sight was moving and jerking when doing it.

I have been for three weeks now practicing dry fire drills for 30 minutes to 2 hours 5-6 days a week. I have greatly improved my times, transitions, movements, and ability to find my sight. This is in preparation for ProAm next weekend. However, I discovered during live fire today that I have destroyed my accuracy due to the fact that I am no mashing the trigger with my whole hand instead of a nice pull with just my finger. Anyone have any drills or advice to help this. I can get back to hitting the targets but I have to slow way way down. Thanks in advance!!!

I had money saved up to take a class with Max but after emailing him several times with no answer on a price or class availability or anything I had something come up and now I am back to saving again. Once I get the money again if I can’t get him to respond I’ll give up on him and see if I can get into one of Ben’s classes.

I have a lot to work on and I know that. I am a C open shooter. Finally at nationals last year shot calling clicked. And I have finally realized the importance of staging a stage instead of just spending 30 seconds to find all the targets and be done. However when I watch video of myself compared to even other C class shooters my time between shots is extremely slow. Even on close shots when I am only seeing the sites once and pulling the trigger twice I will shoot two A’s most of the time and It feels fast. But when I look it isn’t. Not even close. What can I do to improve the speed of my trigger? I feel as though I’m pulling the trigger all out.

Thank you. That might be an option later but for right now that is a bit far. I am located halfway between Memphis and St. Louis. About three hours from each. So I am looking for somewhere in that range.

I am about to build an open gun. I have all the parts for it but have really been considering a PT Evo Grip. I love the look of them and have liked the feel of steel grips that I have gotten to handle in the past. However, I have never shot a steel grip or handled the PT Evo at all. I am wanting to know if there is anyone within a couple hours of southeast Missouri that has a pistol with the PT Evo on it that would be willing to allow me to meet them to get a feel for the grip? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I just put Grams followers in my STI Executive .40 mags and was having the same problem. I used a medium file and took a little off the left front of the follower and the smoothed it up and they all work great now. It just took some time of try and retry.
