    @ Griz - That is outstanding! Especially for a high demand part! ;-P

    @ Daniel - Buy the book and watch some videos and start learning a little at a time. Once you feel like you are ready to take on the challenge, DO IT!!!!

    May I ask what book you are referring? am interested, also

    Thank you

    Little Machine Shop shows tha High Torque with the solid column out of stock. They have the one with the tilting head, but I've read that that model is not as good because of movement in the head.I emailed them to inquire when the solid coulumn model would be back in stock, but haven't heard back from them. It appears the GG0704 has the tilt head also.

    I pick up my 2 Dawson CRP Edges today....I will post pics of them and give updates as to the accuracy, reliability and any / all problems.

    If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take from the time you ordered to delivery? Very nice looking!

    Thank you

    I ordered beginning of March and Dawson was out of stock.....they received the Edges from STI on 4/9/13 and they were shipped out 4/11/13 after getting the "CRP Package". The customer service throughout was AMAZING. The employees at Dawson Precision actually kept calling me to keep me up to date on the arrival times.

    Wow!! That is great service!!! Beautiful !

    How long is too long for a gun to be built.....

    I know this is a newbie question, but in reading some of these posts, it seems that if I order a new, custom pistol from cameron, Akai, etc., it doesn't come with even one magazine?? I did notice that on one of Brazo's custom Edge guns, it does say it comes with a 126mm mag. So, which mag for a .40 is used most in the limited category?? The 126 or 140?? I looked at Dawson website, and they show .40 2011 HiCap mags in stock,which hold 13 rounds. How many rds, does a 140 mag hold?? A 126?? All this is very confusing!! ;^) Melvin

    Brazos will include one 140mm tuned mag with the purchase of a limited gun. And with the purchase of a gun you can purchase a 4 pack of tuned magazines for $400 instead of the regular $600 price.

    Thanks for that info. I remember reading about getting the mags cheaper when you buy a gun.

    OK, so will they take fax and mail in orders or not??

    This was posted earlier thread "I got through on the phone asking about my faxed order from Tuesday. The lady on the phone said they are not accepting fax orders and if it came through it probably got tossed. They are only doing orders through the website.

    That was about 1:30PM"

    Very confusing

    Glock for production newbie question

    in Glock

    Posted

    Trying to get my gear together to shoot a match. I have a Glock 34. My question is ...are there magazine basepads that can be used and still fit the box?? Seems to me the factory pads are a little flimsy. So far, I have Blade Tech DOH holster, CR belt and mag pouches,

    Thanks

    Melvin from Greenwood , SC . 31 years of IHMSA. Sounds like a guy I used to shoot with at Little River Gun Club. Is this the same Melvin? If so, I may be coming to the March 2 USPSA match in Spartanburg. I would be glad to squad with you and show what little I know about Limited USPSA. I can even bring some gear that you can run your Glock 34 in if you like.

    Mark

    Yep, what's left of him. Robert and I are still running the matches in Lincolnton. I still shoot sillywets, but I like the idea of maybe trying this game. Mike Morris, of gaffney, is a friend of mine that goes way back to when I first strted shooting silhouettes in gaffney and Charlotte. I bought his Colt 1911 with the marvel 22 conversion.

    I will be at Ron's match in gainseville on that date, but thanks for the offer, Mark. haven't seen you in a long time hope you are well.

    Hope to make it to Spartanburg real soon, though

    I'm a newbie when it comes to USPSA and IPSC shooting, having spent the last 31 years shooting long range(IHMSA) handgun silhouette shooting. Was wondering what holsters, belts, people are using in the USPSA Limited class?? Pics would be nice!

    I have a Glock 34 right now, maybe a 1911 type in the future.

    Thanks

    Melvin
