Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. caffeine will not cause stiffness, but it is a diuretic so it can contribute indirectly to muscle cramps as they are a result of inadequate hydration and/or commonly a lack of potassium.
  2. They have straps you can normally buy at any sporting goods store or pharmacy, they are usually elastic with velcro and go right beneath the joint where they apply moderate pressure, I have used them while lifting during times when the pain was pretty bad and they seemed to alleviate a great deal of the discomfort. that is a temporary solution though, to fix the problem altogether best thing to do is forearm exercises and stretching and lots of rest.
  3. When Im warming up - metallica or generally anything loud and violent. When I start lifting though I prefer straight silence.
  4. Depends on how long your finger are probably, I have always used my middle finger to press the mag release, this was just something I seemed to do naturally and it has always worked for me. I like it because the amount that I need to shift the gun in my hand is virtually zero, so I am able to get back on target faster than I can if I were to use my thumb. Im sure this definitely varies per person though, depending on how you hold the grip, how large your hand is, etc.
  5. In my opinion, go to the range and just practice doing it until it becomes almost second nature.

    Recoil springs

    Ive used wolff since day one and never had a single issue with any of their springs or trigger kits. I haven't tried anything else mainly because I haven't needed to.
  7. Try arredondo extensions, I never had any issues with them, Ive been using the same ones for a few years now.
  8. I tried all kinds of parts combos, my favorite in the end was a glock 22 with an STI magwell I did some 'custom fitting' for, a wolff springs steel guide rod, wolff springs 14# recoil springs, arredondo extended baseplates for the mags, and a wolff springs trigger kit. I also polished all of the internal surfaces including rails, slide interior, barrel, and trigger parts using a dremel and very fine grit lapping compound. Overall this setup worked very well for me and I never had any reliability issues whatsoever.
  9. Try to avoid going to slide lock so there is still some pressure on the mag, or you could try adding weight to the baseplates somehow, Ive seen this done before to fix that exact problem.

    22rd. mag & TF +8?

    I used arredondo extensions to shoot limited and never had any issues with them they worked great. They definitely will not come close in capacity though to the +8. I also (for fun) used a 9mm 30 round mag and replaced the follower with a .40 one, which worked fine but I really didn't use it much so I don't know how long it would function reliably.

    Glock magwells

    I tried a few different glock magwells but my favorite setup was an STI magwell that I did some 'custom fitting' to work with a glock 22, I have never used anything else since.
  12. First time i decided to shoot open was after I had been shooting limited for nearly a year and was doing pretty well. I practiced with an open gun for a good two weeks, felt good and was excited to make my open debut a good match. Prior to the first stage I went through the checklist multiple times, made sure my mags were full and in the mag holders and not my back pocket etc., but to my dismay when the buzzer went off I drew the gun and realized I had forgot to turn on the cmore sight, oops.
  13. It makes me happy. Im already jacked up on caffeine half the time anyway so I don't think too much of it.
  14. Do these motions but with a very small amount of resistance, such as 1 to 2 lbs. The key is adding the weight but keeping speed of movement very close - much like the common practice among pro baseball players of training with a small weighted ring at the end of the bat.
