  1. For me: You can't stop the gun from recoiling. Also there isn't one way to grip a gun. Just like there's not one way to shoot a basketball. No two NBA players have the same shot, not sure why people think things are different with guns.
  2. I can say, that's not how it is anymore. I heard negative reviews of Ben's class from someone who took it many years ago and I was hesitant to go to one because of that. I went to one recently and he has clearly changed his teaching style. Highly recommend it.
  3. Following with interest! The classifier breakdown inspired me to practice Can you Count in dry fire to see where my baseline mechanics are.
  4. Anyone know a good static popper that’s easy to transport to and from range that can be used on gravel?
  5. A dremel or file to the magwell is much cheaper than all new mags
  6. The downside is that it doesn’t provide much horizontal support. Some people, myself included got rid of them because holsters and mag pouches moved too much horizontally. Some love the belt, others hate em. I don’t think there’s much in between. But how compact it rolls up is a huge advantage so that may outweigh some potential downsides for you.
  7. Who has better prices?
  8. Received mine. Ordered in Jan 2023. So very close to one year wait.
  9. I use supervel also and on some other threads came to the conclusion that they use hard primers. I have to use a 13lb hammer with extended fp to get 100% reliability
  10. I picked up some used 140mm baseplates that look much different from the new ones I purchased. Can anyone confirm if this is an older style. It seems like an odd design because it doesn’t offer over insertion protection.
  11. For Soundgear phantom owners, if you are listening to something via Bluetooth how is the connection? Can you have your phone in your back pocket without any issues? I sent mine back to the factory, got the drivers replaced and they still have the same issue. They randomly disconnect if my phone is in my back pocket, or if I bend over with the phone in my front pocket. The issue seems the worst listening to Spotify. super frustrating to drop so much money for the Bluetooth and it’s basically useless.
  12. Because it’s not drop safe anymore. At least much less drop safe than factory
  13. That’s a bummer. I look forward to when I can reload again.
  14. Using supervel ammo the 11lb had about 15-20% light strikes. 13lb saw improvement but still around 5% light strikes. Way too many for me.
  15. Anyone have a good video for this? I’m not finding one that shows how to fit the disconnector. Also any tips/advice welcome!
  16. I’ve tested a fair amount with doubles and video. The 8lb returned the easiest and had the least amount of dip.
  17. With a 9mm 2011, is there a downside to going as light as will function with recoil springs? Will it shorten the life of the slide or frame considerably? After lots of testing I settled on a much lighter recoil spring than factory in my Staccato P. I love the recoil impulse and never had a malfunction because of the recoil spring.
  18. I have a BC magwell on my Gen 2 P. It has a tiny bit of wiggle at the front of the grip that can be resolved if you feel the need to but I haven’t don’t anything with it.
  19. The recoil spring is pretty stout. I’m currently using an 8lb. Stock is 13 and the blue one it comes with is 11lb
