That looks pretty slick. Is it expensive?
They had a min lot charge of around $250.

I just received the Primer Pro this week. CCI worked ok and Federal did not work at all. I tried a little dry teflon lube in the bowel and that did not help. I then tried the shims mod and that seems to do the trick. Federals will now fill up the tube in around 50sec after the mod. I will have to monitor for flipped primers to be sure.

I recently had my slide coated with a composite electroless nickel coating with boron nitride particles. This coating has a very low coefficient of friction. The coating thickness is determined by bath time so you can pick desired thickness. I chose a very thin coating of 0.3 mil because the slide was fairly new and already had a tight fit.

Yes Aftec are worth it.

Tungsten sleeve is an expensive option and increases failure rate of the barrel. Before you purchase get a quote on a replacement barrel with sleeve plus fitting. This way you will not be surprised by the cost when you need a new barrel. Hopefully the barrel will last a long time but at some point it will need replacement. They all do.
In my experience the cheaper and more obvious change in recoil come from changing the slide stroke length. Playing around with the number of shock buffs really changes dot tracking and everyone has a different preference.

DDP vs Alpha 3 vs RTS2 vs Romeo 3

Alpha 3 vs RTS2
I would say the Alpha 3 is an upgrade over the RTS2. It has much improved side buttons and 10 intensity levels with the top being very bright. Window size is little bigger which is also nice.
-
Also consider the FTP Shooting Sports optic. It is basically an updated RTS2 with an bigger window, much nicer buttons and 8moa. It is also brighter and has more available brightness settings.
The new Sigs are also very nice but expensive and made by the same place that make RTS2 and FTP.
I have used the DPP for years but am switching away from them this offseason.

I have a TIN coated barrel in my 9major open gun. No problems. I was planning to do with all future barrels.

The Ping GPS seem to not be available anymore. Looks like a failed kickstarter.
I just purchased the $100 Gego tracker and has a month to month billing plan of $8. $75 for the year. Works as advertised so at this point I would recommend it.
If you want something cheaper I would suggest getting a $35 Tile pro bluetooth tracker. I put one in my bag going to Nationals and my phone was in range of bag as they loaded and unload bag from plane. So I knew my bag made it on the plane.

Is this grip tape or carbide?

Why the shock buffs? Wouldn't that essentially negate the stroking?
Yes, they negate the stroking. But if you start with a stroked gun and clipped recoil spring you then can experiment with 0 to 5 shock buffs. The buffs will change how the recoil feels and how the dot lifts. Some like a slow rising dot that is trackable and some like rapid less trackable dot rise but also faster returning.

I like the Universal or Everglades.

If you are running a comp, it relies on gas pressure to operate effectively. The higher the pressure, the better it works.
So why bleed off pressure before the comp where it's most effective?
Most comps have some downforce but most gas pulls the comp forward. So adding barrel holes is a trade-off between flatter vs softer.
Read this thread.
This is a very interesting graph from jid2 and it shows that holes obviously create much more z force (downward force) but interestingly the x force (forward pull) does not greatly reduce (or proportionally). So it seems the barrel holes are definitely worth the trade-off.

Crimson Trace has 3 new red dots coming out.
CTS-1200 and CTS-1300 Window size are 1.1" x 0.75" ( 28mm x 19mm)
CTS-1400 Window size is 1.25" x 0.89" ( 31.8mm x 22.6mm)

I recommend the Brazos trigger kit.

I just received my V2 magwell. Its grip size feels somewhere in between Dawson big hand and the normal Dawson. It is really heavy that is for sure.
Here are some weights
LC V2 = 4.8oz
Dawson big hands = 1.4oz
My open gun is up to 54.9oz with this magwell. Will have to see how it goes. I could always change main spring housing to aluminum to save a little weight.
-
Looks like a good amount of clearance but if you want to try something different I really like the Brazos tuned ejector. It has a concave cut which gives room for bullet/mag while still keeping it strong.
-
Has anyone switched from the large hands version of Dawson to this new L.C. v2? How does it feel?

IF you are using the range cart, why not go for size?
When traveling to major matches I have heard some people put Rangepack and cart inside other luggage on flights. So large might be too big.
P365 with a long slide?

I was thinking the same thing. The 365 is quickly becoming an alternate platform for a full size gun.
