  2. I want a reshoot because, well, I had 2 mikes and a noshoot, and, and my ears went dead, and I forgot to load a full mag, and didn't read the stage description, and no one helped me, or told me what to do, like in IDPA. And! all those Open IPSC guys intimidated me with their Space Blasters, that's just not fair. Plus they cheated by going to fast. wawawawawa............

    This post may be the only redeeming quality this thread could possibly offer. Bravo!

  3. Depends on the stage at PASA. Have shot in that darkhouse with low light - enough to see where to go but targets are washed out in the background and fibre is barely visible, have also shot stages there which are pitch black and start position includes a flashlight tethered to your wrist- easy to make out targets and your path with the flashlight, but the only feedback you get from sights is the negative image when sights return against a backdrop of muzzle flash.

  4. After ~45 days using the CoC #1 as specified by the CoC book, I'm not sure I can quantify the difference in the way the gun shoots as far as combating recoil. There may be some difference, or it may just take a lower % of strength to maintain the same behavior on the pistol, resulting in less tension. That said, there's no doubt my ability hold the sights steady through a less than perfect trigger pull has been pretty significantly improved.

  5. Should also be noted if you're scared of the aggressive or tried a friend's and found it a little too sharp, PT will bead blast an aggressive texture just enough to take the edge off. Perfect balance for my wife and daughter who didn't like the idea of bleeding all over their new grips.

  6. We have standard aluminum on the Mrs' open blaster and aggressive on my limited. When she first saw the aggressive she said it was way to much and she only wanted standard texture, but I think in retrospect she might have gone for aggressive after-all. While the standard is nice, I'm not sure its a huge improvement over skate tape and its no where near as locked in your grip as the aggressive. You can also go for a middle of the road option; PT will be happy to bead-blast an aggressive grip to take the edge off a bit; this is what the Mrs' next open build will get. Its still very grippy, but not quite as likely to rip your hand open if you have to adjust your grip on a bad draw/table start.

  7. Results varied by mag of course. Some wouldn't drop free before tuning. 2 or 3 tubes I got an extra round after tuning - some capacity due to tube reshaping, some due to fixing drastically out of spec feed lips (too close together). Some tubes just had feed reliability issues that I cleaned up (mostly due to feed lip problems). After the first 10 mags or so I couldn't tell you what problems I fixed, because I just started tuning the mags as soon as they showed up before even trying to use them. Besides my personal mags, I've had a couple friends who were ready to take a dremel to their feed ramp on 2011s that "won't feed _____ bullet profile" or "always nose dive short rounds" whose issues were instantly fixed by adjusting the feed lips to the specs in the dawson video.

    I'm certainly not disagreeing with anyone here who says they can do the same work with cheaper tools, but these tools work very well and combined with the video to get dimensions straight from a pro I don't have any complaints with the value.

  8. What's the difference between the Executive and the Edge besides about $500? Is it just an edge with hardchrome and different color grip?

    Edge + HC + Fiber front = Executive

    Anecdotally, the few Executives I've touched were tighter and cleaner fit than the few Edges I've touched. Have absolutely no way to know if they actually give more attention to the Executives or if it was just luck of the draw.

  9. I found the kit to be worthwhile. Between the tools, post to hold the tube in a vice, and specs (from the DVD) I'm not upset in the slightest with the value. I've done going on 20 mags so far- if only doing a couple it might seem less worth it.

  10. Another vote to look into a Beretta (391, 3901 etc). Can be found well under 1k, and great trap guns. I think munchkin's SCTP team must have 15 of the things running around, some of them having been through several shooters (as they grew) over a decade.

  11. We've run several different buttons including the STI. Never had any binding or wear issues. Current personal favorite for myself and the wife and daughter is the EGW mini paddle. Good distance to get out towards your thumb, but slim enough to minimize any issues with weak hand grip. Last I looked they were a downright steal at ~$5 on EGW's site. The mini paddle does however need some fitting - on all our 2011s stock it would hit the grip before dropping the mag; juts needs a nice ramp sliding away from the grip and away from the mag catch. Maybe 10 minutes with a sanding drum for the first one, 3 minutes for every one I've done since. Friend has I think a Wilson that's checkered and looks nice, but I've never seen it for sale without the mag catch as well so I've never looked much further into it.
