Have you found a good source for these and what style of screws did you get? I figured home depot or somewhere similar would have some but they generally don't carry higher quality screws of that size and I don't know if I want to trust soft stainless screws of that size.

I must have been one of the lucky ones, I was also shooting classic major and it went down easy with one shot. However I agree, those spring style forward falling poppers are by far the worst design I've ever seen, I got completely popper f*#ked at optics nationals last year on the same thing. Additionally, Stage 9 was my first stage of the match and I got bumped to first in the shooting order because most of my squad was 15 minutes late and I was the only one ready this really set the tone for my match and I did horribly, this was the worst match I've shot in 4-5 years. And as any good shooter I had plenty of good excuses as to why, 4 hour time change, crappy sleep the night before, HEAT and HUMIDITY, and general bitchiness. Other than my performance lacking greatly this go around, I did like some of the stage designs and they were generally fun, I also was glad to see that there wasn't a huge advantage given to the classic minor folks by stacking several 8 round arrays with a bonus target that could save a position. All that said I will most likely not be making the trip back to frostproof (especially in the summer) again unless there is something like the 9 days of nationals or another world shoot that I could weasel my way into. Too far, and way too hot for me to justify.

Has anyone contacted sig to see if they have a solution? Or is this just getting pushed onto the consumer again?

Did you get the DAA kit or pick up the stuff yourself on the silicone carbide job?

Definitely the deltapoint pro, I just got the call that my pistol showed up but I’m down in Florida for IPSC Nationals so I won’t be able to pick it up til Monday. No plate needed, one of the biggest windows, newest gen has had decent reliability and you can easily find them and they don’t cost 500 like the SRO

The original romeo 3 has been discontinued and is supposed to be replaced by the Romeo 3 MAX later this year if what Max Michel is putting out is correct. I have a couple of the original romeo 3's on PCC's and I really like them, I was trying to get another one to use on a open pistol but then decided I don't want to mess with open anymore as well as the fact that they are no longer being made. The new one should be an upgrade and hopefully they will have more options on dot size.

Just saw today Max Michel said he’s working on designing a P320 MAX that he said is coming out next year. Curious which direction this will go.

Man, this gun has me seriously looking at swapping over to CO, damn

It was a joke, guess I should have lol'd

I forgot CO got the nod to be a little more "open" with modifications

Is the mag release CO legal?

Got updates for the Alaska state sectional, the match is posted on practiscore now and the stages should have been sent off for approval. This will be a level 2 match shot in a one day format. https://practiscore.com/2019-alaska-state-sectional/register

Interesting, so that would be more of a cz/tanfo competitor since it’s a hammer fired da/sa gun. Still I like that there may be more companies coming on board with the steel frame idea

If the initial announcement to introduction of the x5 is any indicator of timeline on that we’re about 2 years out on a steel grip module... lol

I would be cool to have more options, especially to potentially help drive more price competition

Curious with the fanfare around the new Q5 SF if other companies will follow suit and make a premium steel frame version of their striker fired pistols. There is an aftermarket company making a new grip module for the p320 and have mentioned possibly making an aluminum or steel version in the future. I’m definitely excited to see what people come out with

That’s what I was about to ask, I was wondering if someone was going to some out with a steel grip for these considering the fervor over the new q5 steel frame. I’d definitrly be interested in one if the they do decide to make one.

Depends on how you value the effect. You probably won’t notice it much initially but once you get used to it you would certainly feel it if you went back to a stainless or standard guiderod

What did you do with it to make weight? Or is this just a fun gun?

Thanks

What is in spec? I hear that a lot but haven’t found any numbers to go off of.

I had similar issues with a pair of mbx mags, the likely culprit was the height of the mag catch on the mbx mags. looking at them compared to the STI tube that I have it is cut visibly higher and the mags sit lower in the gun. Got a Dawson mag release in it now and so far it’s been good but I still only use them as backup mags.

I still haven’t gotten a rear sight and it kills me on slugs, we just don’t have enough decent 3 gun around here anymore to justify getting a rear sight milled I any of my guns. Plus I found someone willing to trade an accurate iron m2 for my open shotgun so now I’ll have even more of a struggle about working on the versamax. I’ll probably wind up getting all new springs and then keeping it as a back up if I like the m2. And I pretty much run Remington game club or Winchester xtra-lite and fiocchi 1oz slugs, good mix of rem sts and win AA’s as well but my other shotgun (1301 comp) runs everything like a champ so I have a hard time believing the hype that you have to buy premium shells to get your gun to run.

The problem has persisted with a new mag spring with close to a foot of spring past the end of the tube

Too bad we aren’t made of money so we could just buy all of them and do a good side by side comparison.
