    I have 3. There is a slight difference in feel while shooting. My guess is it has to do with the weight distribution on the different slides. Perhaps also that the sight is lower w/o a plate.

    It is minimal, but you can feel it.  Sold the legions.

    Is that grip tape?

    If A going plastic and B starting from zero I would get a light. But I like the feel of nose heavy guns.

     

    I will know more after the weekend, I just mounted a light with brass battery adapters (about 6oz total) on my G17 for CO and I really like how the gun feels in dry fire. 

    Could you share info on the brass battery adapters please?

    Yes, a case feeder and a Mr bullet feeder and you are good to go.

    I got rid of my powder check die because I seat and crimp in 2 separate stations so the original powder bar is fine.

    If you are loading coated bullets separate seating and crimping dies are  the way to go.

    Good to know! I run blue bullets so I will look into that. I like the idea of the powder check but I suppose if I just keep my eye on the press I can check for powder in the case.

    I have this happen with the medium insert, let us know what they say!

    They told me to try one size thinner insert or bend the springs with the one I was running. One size thinner and the mags had zero retention and would fall out. I bent the springs and it does seem to help but the still come out. I called them again and they said to try sanding some of the surface of the spacer off. 
     

    the issue happens when I pull the magazine out and put pressure one the bottom of the spacer. If you pull the mags straight out it won’t happen but in dry fire I’m being aggressive and putting too much force. 
     

    If I can get it resolved they will be amazing but I’m disappointed that I have to do so much for pouches this expensive. I was hoping for a buy once cry once purchase. 

  5. I just got these and My back insert kept coming out today in dry fire. Super annoying. I’m using the thickest spacers with mecgar mags. I’m wondering if using the medium thickness would help. These seem amazing until you go for an aggressive reload and parts go flying. Grr. It happened more with one mag. Guess I’ll call them tomorrow. 

  6. I’ve been dry firing several days a week now and felt good about the da pull. But then during live fire I got trigger freeze several times. It was pretty cold and my hands were cold but the da press kinda got in my head towards the end of the session. I think I was trying to pull it differently and get on the trigger sooner and this pulling slower. More dry fire is needed!

    For the CR Speed versa mag pouches, you can adjust height by rotating the belt clip 180 degrees.  It's rudimentary but works.

     

    Can you do something similar with the GHOST pouches?  (Basically rotate the pouch 180 degrees and use the belt clip "upside down".

    If the mounting hole between the pouch and belt is off center it may work.


    I had not thought of this. I checked last night and while it is possible the mounting plate sticks up above the belt quite a bit but I think it will work.

    I have racers and would not buy anything with their troublesome spring mechanism again.

     

    Occasionally looking for magpouch parts which jettisoned during a reload gets old. Doing it over again, I’d go back to CRspeed or Ghosts, both of which I’ve liked more.

     


    thanks for sharing I had not heard of this problem. I’ll look into the Cr speed some more.

    I'm in the same boat as OP.  Was competing with a Glock and recently got a Shadow 2 OR.  I met with our local GM for training, and this was one of the first things he had me do, after the grip was taken care of.  Aim at a target with the finger just off the trigger, and when the beep starts, quickly pull through, with the goal of finishing before the beep ends.  See what happens to your dot or sights, and adjust your grip and/or pull accordingly.  I noticed improvement in DA accuracy after just a few reps.

    Ben’s drill.  Pull the trigger at the beginning of the beep and be done before the end without disturbing the sights.

    Thank you for the specific drill. This is good and something I can work in dry and live fire.

    No doubt good stuff - the idea of starting trigger pull early was a thing I started naturally doing, was a good affirmation first time I saw these tips. And Langdon is also the place to go for your Beretta double action needs!

    I ordered an LTT 92 with his trigger job. I’ve been watching his videos as well. 

  10. I'm picking up an LTT 92 and was wondering if anyone could share some load data for a full size 92? 

     

    I have titegroup and hp-38 and coated bullets in 124 and 147s although my stock of 147s is very low. 

     

    Thanks in advance, 

  11. I recently jumped into pistol mounted optics with a g17 mos. I originally planned on getting buis but I'm glad I didn't. After a couple weeks of dry fire I'm indexing the gun where it needs to be. However, I'm out of luck if the dot goes down.
