Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I bought a canyon creek a little while ago. They were running them in very small batches. If you contact them some they may run you one it just may take a bit.
  2. I got some beveled cutters in to start to try to cut them. I will run some out of aluminum to try then I will move over to stainless. It is going to be a little bit till I can get them into our workflow. As for the bases I will see what I can work out to give it enough play to fit a few styles in. I will have to look at what my extended bases are. I don't remember off of the top of my head.
  3. Bummer. I only have a 3 axis cnc so it would be a hard thing to cut on mine but I will start poking at the drafting and see if I can make one. If I do I will let you know.
  4. Any news on the magwell front? I would like to get one as well and it seems like they no longer have them on the canyon creek website.
  5. I think a distance change up would be worth throwing in. Again with your entry and exits. I try to do three setups that only require 3 targets. Run each a few times to get a better idea of what my dry fire is doing for me. Then go dry fire to fix the mistakes. Rinse and repeat. I also try to log things but that is hard to do with only limited time. If nothing else get some notes about what you feel like you need to work on.
  6. I have the blade tech. It works but is not as good as the comp tac stuff I have for other guns. I do have to agree with Nealio about the dark marks. The finish on the gun sands or scrapes the holster up pretty well. I had to file the light rail corners down so that I didn't have black plastic bits everywhere. I think what you are seeing is the finishing defects that they seem to have on the corners. I had small pockets on the trigger guard and on the beaver tail. Whatever they do to get that texture seems to have issues on edges. I will try to get a picture up but my blade tech didn't create the scratches. They just fill up with the material from the holster.
  7. Anyone else using a whiteboard for dryfire?? I have started using the one in my office to draw out target arrays, dots or whatever I feel like I need. I can easily vary the size of the targets and the arrangement to make up a stage. It seems to be helping. At least in that I can make dryfire interesting so that I will spend more time on it. Anyway thought I would throw it out there.
  8. Use shift. If you need to rotate something spin your view around to where the rotate icon is the correct direction. Hold shift then it will keep that orientation as you put it on the object. You can also place the rotate icon on something else and then hold shift and it will stay in that orientation till you place it.
  9. That does look pretty sweet. The silver ties it together nicely. Did you put grip tape on the front of the grip? Also what fiber sight did you put on the front? I have been trying to figure out what height to go with for that.
  10. We do a lot of work with computers doing audio and video recording. Our saying is if you have 1 you have none. They all fail. Regardless of who made them. I will say that we do a lot with the cloud for backups and things like google sheets. That is all saved real time on far more robust servers than I can afford. They are all frustrating but the cloud makes it a little better.
  11. So just to kind of finish this thread off it took until around December for me to really be able to grip. January is when I had all of my strength back. Just for anyone else who is unlucky enough to end up in the same boat it is around 6 months to be where you started. (The catching with the other hand thing is still there) The biggest thing I learned is that there is absolutely no way to hurry it along. If you push the limits it just hurts a lot and sets the healing back.
  12. I really like the work you did with the magwell. It seems to have come together very nicely. The grips really make it flow together. I am thinking of getting a Canyon Creek magwell and tig welding it on at our shop. Do you think that there is room to hide the welds under the grips? I am trying to avoid having to weld inside the magwell if I can just to make it easier to work.
  13. Dirty Rod has it right. There is no one perfect die for everything. I have some of several brands and I will mix them on the same tool head. With several calibers I have started with the cheaper lee dies and then moved onto another brand when I found something that didn't work as well as I wanted it to. I have used the cheaper Lee dies for years to make some great ammo.
  14. I have used 231 in a bunch of different calibers. I would agree that when it is a slow load it can be dirty. I built a few 38 special that were so low they wouldn't go through the plywood backer board. They were way dirty. But I shoot an extreme 9mm that is not dirty at all when it is at a reasonable speed. So I would agree with the others and check your load to see if you can get it to burn a little better.
  15. Went and shot at the range for a while over the weekend. At about 10 weeks my grip is not back to where I want it but it is better. I was able to shoot for a few hours without any real pain unless I really tried to bear down. Anyway at least I feel like I can work on getting back out to matches. Jadeslade is right you do start to use the other hand a lot. I have started catching with my left instead of my right. Glad the strength is coming back but 10 weeks feels like a long time when you are in it.
