Beyond it All

Beyond it All (9/11)

  1. Now there will be people wanting a SS Optic Division.
  2. Buy a complete gun, and sell off the frame. You'll recoup a large chunk of the cost, cheaper than buying the slide alone.
  3. I have an STI hammer/sear/disconnector kit laying around and tried it in my Prodigy, and the sear was the same as Sarge's, too tight in the frame to pivot. Cerakote was too thick. I've used the EE trigger kits several times before, and like them. Dropped in. These guns are not hard to work on, but just need to know how to massage them.
  4. This is what I did with mine, though I didn't get it from TM. Tweeked the center leaf a smidge, dropped in and got a 1# 4oz. trigger. I've used EE kits several times, and they do not disappoint. New safeties will have to be fit, naturally.
  5. Is the slide cut for the K optic, like the Tisas guns?
  6. You already sound smarter than the BoD! I'd vote for you!
  7. There is no individual membership in IPSC, regions are members. The US Region is known as USPSA. And, we are the only region that has it's own rulebook. The rest of the world shoots under the IPSC rulebook.
  8. In 2000 or 2001, JB shot and won the Ohio match in Sylvania with a comp'd/no dot open gun. I was there, it was the talk of the match.
  9. I had a Dan Wesson PM9 that had the tightest chamber I'd ever seen. The only way to get all ammo to gauge was to run cases through the Lee 9mm Makarov sizing die, which would size the area just above the groove. If I'd kept the gun, I'd have the chamber opened up a bit. The cases were pushed all the way thru the die. Lee has a Bulge Buster kit. Pics above, were those cases all the same headstamp? Some crappier brass would bulge on first firing, only suitable for the trash. Those are case ruptures waiting to happen.
  10. Are you talking about the Factory Crimp Die, that has the carbide sizing ring? I use it in all my pistol calibers. Some say it hides other issues that are preventing your ammo from gauging. All I know is when I use it, all my ammo gauges, and I don't have ammo issues. Carbide is harder than steel, so it should last longer than a non-carbide die. Plus, it's not doing a lot of resizing of the case as the regular resizing die is. As to quality, Lee dies are really well regarded. Their other stuff, not so much.
  11. Lot's of people want to give their opinions, and not answer the question. You'll have to figure how to filter them as you go here. The answer, as you figured out, is yes, in a COF that simply says "wrists below belt." Some course designers get lazy writing their starting positions, some are much more careful, some just don't care, like "anywhere in the shooting area, wrists below belt." I don't put a lot of credence in the "what are the GM's doing." If so, we'd all be shooting Caniks. Once upon a time, Robbie and Brian started doing some crazy stuff that we all take for granted now, such as stance and grip. You do you.
  12. I started looking at it from "I'm 80% of the winner today, I'll take it". Kinda puts all the variables in perspective.
  13. I had this happen with a Para, sear spring tension was too light.
  14. No comps allowed in LO. Trying to grasp how a lightened barrel and grip will aid in cycle time.
  15. Palmetto has Optic Ready Shadow 2 for $1099 today.
