  1. Correct. They are both on the Glock USA website. https://us.glock.com/products/model/g24
  2. I just purchased one of the new production run 17Ls last week. Don't have a need for it, but just wanted it.

    primers

    That's why I keep an inventory of over 100K Federal SPP.
  4. 6 lbs is the sweet spot on my revo triggers.
  5. The key is finding the right balance between pull weight, trigger return and ignition reliability depending on what primer you are using.
  6. That's a good technique on the center pin. In my case, my 327 never gets anything other than bunny fart loads, so recoil induced unlocking isn't a factor, but you do make a good point if you are shooting more powerfully recoiling loads.
  7. I've read reports on the S&W forum that the 329 is not long for this Earth. when given a steady diet of 44 mag.
  8. Since the rule changes in IDPA and USPSA I have been burning through my stock of Federal 100's and have been sitting on a pile of the large 150's. I started selling off some of the 150's since I had 100K and wasn't using any. I couldn't find any 100's in stock so I did some testing with the 200's and found out that the magnums made my loads average 2 fps faster so no need to change the load and they still fire in all my guns so far with no clicks. There is less primer cup deformation but I have had no problems with ignition using 5 1/2 pound triggers. I haven't found a downside yet and they were readily available. I will have to like them for the next 30K rounds anyway since that's what I picked up but they are working fine. I've used magnum primers and like you, haven't noticed any significant difference. Now that I've retired my 625, I've got a boatload of Federal LPP that I was holding for it's use but I now can allocate to my 44 revo and my 1911s.
  9. It would be good to know to reduce the tension on the center pin before the frame was damaged. Maybe that knowledge will help someone here to prevent the damage to their scandium frame. This type of wear can be caused by any power factor round, it's just how many times the cylinder was opened and closed. You are correct. It has nothing to do with the number of rounds fired, just cycling the cylinder open and closed. It's simple really, just snip a few coils of the center pin spring. It still gives a nice positive lockup, but noticeably easier to open and close the cylinder.
  10. Randy Lee is obviously one of the "the men" when it comes to revo tuning. My 327's center pin spring is cut back to reduce friction, so it puts even less pressure on the recoil shield as the cylinder is opened and closed. It's had tens of thousands of rounds with no sign of any abnormal wear from the center pin riding on the recoil shield.
  11. I keep a minimum floor of 100,000 Federal primers on hand at all times. My LGS is able to get them frequently and at a good price. It works out about a wash vs. buying them from PV when they had them in stock. The plan is to continue to buy them and stay above my floor (about 20,000) and start to raise my floor from there. I wanted to go ahead and do the work while I work through the last GM200s that I have, but it seems better to wait and shoot through those and finish the work after and just stick with the GM100s after that. I've been buying the GM100s lately.

  13. Get a 6 moa dot for the Razor and don't worry about co-witness. In fact, if you are going to only use it with a red dot, I'd remove the front sight completely as it will be useless.
  14. I use TB extensively in my revos and I've never had an issue with it's metering in my 650.
  15. My revos are tuned to 5.5 - 6 lbs. 100% on Federals, 75% or so with Winchester and no go with CCI.
  16. Exactly! I'm running a TRR8 in a local steel series that has no minimum pf. All you have to do is make the steel go "ding". I'm using 38spc with a 125gr cast bullet behind 2.5gr of Trail Boss for a whopping pf of 74! I don't think the 327's frame will be stressed with that load, and that all gets shot through it.
  17. Kimber spends all their advertising budget on glossy, full page adds in all the gun rags going after the naive 1911 shooter.
  18. I have a 5" M&P Pro 9mm and I'm looking to get another 5" M&P to have as a spare. I can get a M&P 9L with my first responder discount and would like to know what differences, other than the sights, there are between it and the M&P Pro 5".
  19. Yeah. Why not just Cerakote over the factory finish?
  20. Mec-Gar is the way to go for Sig mags.
  21. Nice rig you have, but why didn't you remove the lock when you had the action work done?
  22. Wouldn't surprise me at all seeing what's been coming from the "Performance Center" lately.
  23. Nice setup you have. Good luck and shoot often.
  24. Try this. http://grayguns.com/gunsmith-services/sig-sauer-pistols/sig-sauer-p-220-x-5-internal-extractor/
