Kenzie's optics has some in stock. Got my 3rd 507 Comp this morning
min curious which dot you’re migrating away from in favor of this dot.
For me, it’s intriguing enough that the next time I need another red dot, I will certainly add this to the very short list of red dots that I will choose from. But I’m not planning to abandon any of my currently working SROs to switch to it.

I wonder how the Glock Performance Trigger will change the equation. When I installed the GPT in my 17, I went back to a stock striker spring, and then had to bump up the recoil spring to get the gun to lock up reliably.

What exactly are you testing?

Jagerwerks does great work - May not be the deepest but it's awesome. The depth is extremely negliable between companies
I agree the depths are negligible, and there are a lot of places that do very good work.

They certainly look interesting. I just wish they would make the aluminum window border thinner.

A 15 round limit makes no sense (to me). Either keep it the way it is, or go with a 10 round limit to comply with some new mag capacity restrictions that are popping up in RI, and are already in place in some states. In fact, maybe consider splitting it into CO and CO-10 for restricted states.

Rule 8.2.3 does not allow the RO to start anyone in that condition.
Thanks, that is pretty clear.

Why didn’t anyone start with their hand gripping the gun, ready to yank it out of the holster at the beep?

Have you tested to see if its faster to do it that way?
for me it was faster grabbing the optic. Kind of like having a slide racket on an open gun. -

I never liked the idea of using my optic to rack the slide. It just doesn’t seem right. I use the front serrations.
But, I’m sure that in “panic” portion of a stage where things are coming off the rails I’d use whatever I thought would get me through it.
so, I tried it last month while practicing an unloaded barrel start and it was MUCH faster using the dot over the front serrations to rack the gun. I also didn’t have to worry about accidentally sweeping my hand while grabbing the slide. I doubt I’ll do it all the time, but I will certainly give it more consideration.

I'm waiting on my slide to come back from getting milled to install this setup in my new 17. I've put the GPT in a 19x just to play with it, but haven't installed the JG Vex shoe yet, I want to do a comparison between the OEM, GPT, then GPT+VEX with the gun it's going to be staying in.
The Vex trigger shoe is a game changer when you add it to the GPT. I know some folks don’t care for it, but it really shortens up the pre/post travel. I just ordered a second one for my backup from these guys:

Not having any major issues with my bulletfeeder either but ordered me one last week from DA because Eric was out of stock. Arrived yesterday. Gonna have to give this a try….
Yo, @Sigarmsp226
you get this installed yet? Looking for updates as I think I’m going to order one of them this weekend. Just not yet sure which one.
Thanks.

It seems lately (about 1,000 rounds or so) I’m liking the Glock Performance Trigger, with a JG Vex trigger shoe. This combo feels good, and I no longer worry about light strikes since I can use the OEM striker spring without it affecting the pull weight.

Honestly it's not really that bad of job to R&R on a smith. I would have him watch some YouTube videos a few times and take it step by step. The first few times I took one apart it was a chore now it's easy. The TK hammer does require some very minor fitting in the limited experience I have. Worst case he could send it to TK have them smooth it out in the process. There are others but they seem to have the fastest turn around time.
Lol, that’s what I said. I even offered to give him my old Jerry Miculeck dvd on S&W trigger jobs. He doesn’t have the time, so he wants to send it somewhere and let them do it.

A buddy of mine tried to install an Apex hammer in his 929, and now it’s in a bunch of pieces in a ziplock bag. He now realized he is way over his head. Just cuz you can shoot it doesn’t make you a gunsmith, even if you do happen to own a dremel.
He’s looking for a good gunsmith to finish the job and put it all back together for him.Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Cuz

I have disassembled the mag no issues that I can see. I ran a mag brush through everything looks fine. I was unable to see any points of catching. Are there better followers out there ? Really don't need this crappin out me again.
Thanks for the help
The good news is that Glock mags are reasonably priced. If you have 1 mag that’s acting up, I’d toss it in the spare parts bin and buy 3 more new ones, and not give it another thought…

easy, draw for sure.. 0.9 - 1.2, and reloading is in the 1.2-1.4 range
I’d love to have times like that.

The 507comp has a 2 moa dot, and 8moa, 20 moa and 32 moa circles you can choose. All in the same optic
Thanks, I wasn’t aware of this one.
Although, I think it needs a bigger center dot.
-
I thought the circle was 32moa???
what model has an 8moa circle?

I make a list on my phone of everything I need to take and use it to pack and then double check it before I leave the house. Separate lists for day trip, overnight or flying.
This, +1.
I've been using the AnyList app for years. I'm to the point where I have a list for matches, one for practice, grocery list, you name it, I probably have a list for it.

What is their typical turn around time? I'm in a similar planning phase for a new build and trying to decide where to send it. WagerMachine is high on my list because they typically get it back to you within a week.
I have no idea, but I bet it’s in the 4-6 week range. They did my last one about 18 months ago, I don’t remember how long it took. Time isn’t really an issue for me as I already have my primary G17 and a G34 as a backup. This one will be setup to replace the backup 34 with an identical 17 to the one I shoot now. I don’t like the 34 because it’s an MOS. I’ll end up putting a set of Sevigny Competition sights on it and one of my kids will shoot it.

Does Shield have green-dot sights?
Because that's a deal-breaker with me.
I don't think so, mine are both red.
My problem with the 407k was the thick border around the optic, the Shield is probably less than half as thick. I also couldn't get used to the fixed brightness. Manually adjusting the dot brightness is fine on my competition guns, but on an EDC I want it to auto adjust.
I moved one of my 407K dots to my Sig P322 and it is great on that gun. Quite a fun range toy for sure.
-
This is no longer an issue for me. I’ve moved on from the 507 Holosun series. I’ve migrated to SRO for competition and the Shield for EDC. I did keep the 510c on my PCC.
I will add that it would have been nice if the Shield optics would have fit on the Sig and Glock slides I had milled for 407k optics. Now they are somewhat useless.

Ok, so has anyone mounted one on their PCC yet? I’m curious how it compares to the HS510C I’m currently running.
Thanks.
