It would be interesting to see but it obviously would probably not make production weight. Now if we're talking for CO/Limited/Open then why not if someone is looking to bulk up on the weight. I'd entertain getting one if there was one out there and it was of the X-series style.

looks like it should be legal. looks like it would be same size and shape as a factory one.

That’s how I have both my X5 and RX set up. I did swap out my front on the RX to a fiber optic as well.

I would say the Red Hill Tactical is worth the approximate month long wait.

not quite my cup of tea but it don't look too bad

The ETS mags are listed as 22 rounds. My mags with the TTI pads will hold 23, on a tight squeeze but can still reload on them. I liked the ETS mags for practice but found a problem with them swelling and not wanting to drop out of the magwell. I ended up switching back to factory mags with the TTI pads.

I shot my first match in it a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I have a feeling that I will have a difficult time switching back. I have a feeling that the slow start had a lot to do with cost of gun or milling for optic plus cost of optic for a provisional division. I think it is starting to take hold and as more people dabble in CO it will probably cause it to grow.

Yes it is...

+1... I only have a front fiber as a quick "reference" for the SHO and WHO as I'm not as strong with my CO gun yet as I am with my Production gun. I'll be making a mid season switch soon to CO so my dry-fire schedule will probably eliminate the need for it as I become more proficient.

It has really been messing with mine this year. This past match at my home club I laid down 3 solid stages before going into my 4th of the day. Which was also great until some Twat Waffle pasted 2 targets before they were scored and ended up getting me a re-shoot. By the time I loaded my mags I had to go again with no prep time, and tanked it. Moved to the next stage and was instantly ROing and never had a chance to clear out the re-shoot from my mind and then it was my turn to shoot again before I could pass off the timer. Tanked again and then again on the last stage due to being a smaller squad and the other "RO's" wandering off. Those 3 stages tanked my score and cost me the division win and a top 10 overall finish (based on my math and usual performance) mostly due to spending too much time ROing and not focusing on me.

I'll be switching from Production to CO about mid season. In my club I usually compare myself to the overall results anyway since we don't have much heat left in Production. I'm not going to let it stop me if I'm the only one in division

The TTI's will fit on the ETS mags but not the Magpul from my experience

I just filed down the ZEV insert to match the contour of the Glock Frame. I also modified it a bit more so I could get the medium backstrap onto the gun before doing my grip job. Weight and balance of the gun is starting to feel like my G22 limited gun which I seem to shoot better than my production gun most days.

My question for anyone who may know. Is there a cover plate for the slide incase I wanted to strip off the optic and run in production to not have a gaping hole in the top.

The G22 old police trade in, is what I have for my Limited gun. Uses the same holster at my 17 so I don't need an extra belt. At my current level of skill I don't think it is holding me back any. I typically shoot production and can bounce back and forth between the guns with no real issues.

Just curious - Why the powder switch? I just started to reload this year and wanted to go with Tite Group from the start but CFE was what was available locally since it always seemed Tite Group was out of stock. Now it seems to be the opposite and I can get the Tite Group. Another reason Is I can usually buy Tite group for about $4 - $5 less than CFE per pound.

Thanks what is the PF you're getting out of that load Rocket

I am making a switch in powder from CFE Pistol to Tite Group. I currently have my press set up for a OAL of 1.115 and I am running 125gr LCN from Black Bullets International. I would like to land at about the 130 PF mark just to have a cushion.

I cleaned my G17 after 4k rounds because i was bored one night but was not having any hiccups.... just keep throwing lube on it and it seems to run. But I'm the jackass who has used my slide as a hammer to knock out pins of other guns at the range. My G19 carry gun gets a little better care.

In my research that I had done previously I found L&M gun works. I just haven't gone through getting it done yet and not sure if I am going to be that committed to CO. If you get it done let me know the details. http://www.landmprecisiongunworks.com

I'm thinking bout setting up a CO gun. My main concern is how are the optics holding up to the torture of going for a violent ride with every shot. What are some round counts you guys have and what are the optics doing.

I just want to see more VP9s hit the shelf. I'm entering my second year in USPSA and after playing with my duty weapon last year I chose the VP9 this year and am loving it. I finished last year in C class and with all the practice I'm doing while its colder than hell outside I have a goal to start the year jumping to A if I can get the classifiers in. Good thing the VP9 can take a beating, although it would be nice to have a second to spread out the dry-fire love on that mag well.... lol

I like how it looks as its showing through the slide. And i don't think its a good ideas to Ceracote a barrel.

I shoot production and was wondering if the TiN coating of a barrel would be considered a competitive advantage. I like the looks of it and want to add a speck of color to my gun and like the way the coating look. Thanks

I've always been a decent shooter but am new to this competition thing this year. I've already learned and improved a lot by reading Ben Stoegers book and watching his videos. As well as Lanny Basshams book. Also it helps to find people to shoot with who have the experience and knowledge to assist with questions and seeing were you can improve.
