I have MecGar Mags for my p14. They are of the 10 round variety. If you are asking if you can attach the Dawson/Grams stuff to these magazines, the answer is no. The MecGar 10 round magazines are setup like the factory Para mags with the thick plastic bottoms. If you are referring to the 14 round magazines that MecGar sells, then I don't know. I hope this answers your question. Joe

Not a master but here's what I run. Production G22 CGR Race Cut Hienie sights liberal amounts of grip tape RS trigger kit stainless g/r with 13lb ISMI spring Limited and L-10 G22 Barsto Barrel CGR race cut Hienies liberal amounts of grip tape undercut trigger guard RS trigger kit stainless g/r with 13lb ISMI spring THE brass magwell Arredondo extensions Guns runs great when I do my part. Who would have thought mag springs go bad? Joe

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the clarification. Joe

+1 on this. Joe

I don't know why but that seems like a LOT of powder. Joe

Rich, Well that's good info to know. The selling the pistol to a CA resident part is what I was concerned with. I was under the impression that it must be DROSed into the CA system before it can be sold or it might has well been imported? Hell I don't know. Like I said, even if I did get the pistol, having the high capacity magazines is a no-no. Joe

I have been looking into this as well. Moreso recently. Here's what I have found and talked with the CA DOJ about. First, I'm military and a non-PRK resident. Because of this I can import an S_I into the state. I can import however many S_I's into the state as I want. I can have the high capacity magazines IF 1. they were shipped to CA with my personal belongings directly to the base. 2. Once on the base the high caps do not leave the base. So, I can have the gun but not the fun. Second, when I get out of the military, if I am still in the state of CA, I must register them on a new resident handgun ownership form. All of them can be done on one form. I do not have to be out of the military to do this. As soon as I become a resident of the state it is required. If I loose my license, and am forced to get a CA license and in turn become a resident, then I must register them. They are now in the system as being mine and hunkey dorey in CA. Third, if I do not want said S_I anymore, and the above has been complied with, it is within my judgement to sell said pistol via party to party to another CA resident. For you military folks, this is entirely possible. Call the DOJ and talk with them. They will give you everything in writing, or tell you where it is written, that you can be legal. Now if the Navy paid more, I'd be in there like swimwear. Joe

That's an outstanding photo!!!! Joe

You are the man!!! One of the guys in my club wants to make one and we don't really have anything to go off of. Joe

Anybody got any close up pics of a man-on-man steel target? The one with the two poppers that fall on top of each other? Thanks in advance. Joe

Shot this today and tanked it. Had about a 3.5 HF in Limited. Joe

Kinda like don't fry bacon naked? When I first started dryfiring I was barefoot, then I hit the top of my foot with a mag full of dummies and after I picked myself up off of the floor, I promptly put on some shoes. Now I try to wear the same shoes that I will be shooting in because it feels like my stance changes. Joe

How do they cut the grass on the berms like that? Joe

And the same here. This is the only reason I mentioned it. Joe

Within the 140mm mag limitation it seems so. I can get 23+1 in my G17 mag with an Arredondo bottom on it. Joe

You need to contact SJC about this. This is the hang up. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Joe

+3 on the Arredondo's

I think that this is about right. I was trying to organize a group buy but everyone wants a million different kinds and I don't want that hassle. So three or four of us are going to get in on this buy. Thanks for the info guys. Joe

Do to some experiences this week I will throw in my dice to the pile. I have a Barsto Barrel in my G22 and it has a tight chamber. I can get my calipers down the lead (sp), or where the case is supposed to headspace on the shoulder/crimp of the case, and it measures .419. Halfway into the chamber measures .424 and the mouth of the chamber measures .430. So it's almost like a funnel. I tried to load "book" standard loads of .420 crimp and they will not feed at all. Jam-o-matic on every round. So I had to gradually reduce the crimp to .415 to get it to feed. This caused a lot of pressure with the powder charge. So back to the bench and downloaded the powder to 4 grains and then 3.8. Same problems with pressure. So I tried a few small rifle rifle primers and no go. My RS trigger kit will not set those off. So I went back and tried something else. I loaded some rounds out to 1.135 OAL, .420 crimp, and 3.8 grains of Titegroup with the Federal small pistol primers. I had to manually feed the rounds into the Barsto barrel and they STILL showed signs of high pressure. So I put some through the stock Glock barrel, which fed perfect by the way, and they also showed signs of high pressure. So I have all but given up on the pressure issue. Just crimp it and shoot it. Note: I reload on a 550b, Lee sizer, seater, and a factory crimp. I'm a poor military bastard. I didn't have the money to spend on the EGW or Dillon dies so I have no experience with these to speak of. But here are my measurements with the standard Lee sizing die. Run all the way down until the die touches the shell plate. Once fired WWB Glock Brass. It averages a .417 on the mouth and a 420 by the web. Good enough for gubmint work and good enough for me. I will say that I use no case lube at all except for the left over mineral spirits from the tumbling and once firing Glock brass is a biotch to size. I have gone to resizing in front of the TV with a Lee hand press. The press runs cleaner and smoother this way. Note: I did not purchase my barrel. I won this at a match so it paid for my match fees. If anything it has been an annoyance rather than a cool factor. Your mileage may vary. I'm just your average idiot working through this. Thanks Joe

I had the same problem with my G22 and a weak 13lb spring. Put in a 15 and problem is gone. I accidently wacked off 4 coils of the 13 pounder thinking it was the 15 pounder so it wouldn't hold it in battery. Joe

I took the advice and got spare parts. Just gotta remember to keep them with me. Joe

Thanks for the info. What about just using the Glock case that came with the pistol? I read that it has to be in my check-in baggage and that will fit quite nicely. A little more padding in that bad boy and it would be perfect. If not, then I guess this a great excuse to buy a Pelican. Joe

I'm going to be flying across country on a non-stop flight here soon. I want to take my G17 and three mags for it. I am looking at the 1450 case by Pelican. Any reviews of this case? I'm not sure if this is the right place but it is a gear question. Thanks. Joe
