  1. I'm not seeing anything. My side shows squadding closed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Might be a long shot, but if anyone staying at the lodge wants to split a room for the match please let me know. Id rather stay there than a motel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. If you want good slugs, try the Prime Ammo slugs. They do cost a little more, but the accuracy is worth every penny. Offhand groups at 50yds are always within 6". And they are low recoil. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. It's a Columbus GA area code 706. They left a message on my end. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. JP set the standard for low mass carriers. If you want to save some money though AIM Surplus has some Nibx low mass carriers that have been good to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. The NERD and nova share quite a bit. I've seen both in person. I prefer the NERD coupled with the IP hanger. It's fast, secure and sturdy. I know most think the money back guarantee is gimmicky, to me it shows confidence in a product. They stand behind what they believe in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Save the trouble and go with a press mounted trimmer. I have the Giraud tri way. It'll never get used again. A few hundred rounds makes your hands go numb. Now I have my 650 setup with 1) decap die 2) open 3) trimmer 4) open 5) Dillon size die backed out so just the ball passes through the neck. I then dry tumble to remove the lube and they are ready to load. All shoot a minute or less with bulk 55fmj. If I shot PRS it may be different but at least the 3 gun I shoot most targets are 2moa +. So it works for me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Hope I can get in at registration. Sounds like a blast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Not wanting to brag, but glue and grit will absolutely outperform stippling. You can brag for sure. I've seen the glue grit you've done and it's pretty awesome. As for burning plastic I have to go with Boresight still. But I do agree the grit works Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Ben at Boresight Solutions. Again it won't be cheap, but you'd be hard pressed to find anything better or more customizable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I was able to get in touch with TT they said it should work provided the lower is in spec. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. They just released a new "Thumb Tack" for tension the fly. Looks like a pretty nice piece. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Lighttac.com had them in stock last time I checked. That's where I got mine.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks for the info and the nice comparison write-up. I think I might try one, just because I can and I've been wanting to try a flat trigger. I have 2 AR Golds, A couple JP's , and a Hyperfire 24C. All are good. Personally I like the AR Gold the best for precision shots and the lite reset doesn't bother me, but I know it bothers some. I think it's because I shot (and still do) 1911/2011 designs with very light triggers for many years If the 1911 type trigger is what you like I really think you'll be a fan of this trigger. I have a short flat trigger in my single stack gun and this is almost identical. Let me know what you think if you get one.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk So I bought one and I like it. Very nice machine work and finish. Install is a snap and I like the two screws to secure it in place (zero wiggle or slop) Trigger pull is easily adjustable for pull and I set it at 2.75 lbs, as for me that's a nice comfortable weight (it will go from 2-5 lbs. give or take a couple oz.) The reset is a little more positive than the AR Gold and the break is like glass. Almost zero over-travel and very short reset. A couple of my friends still think the reset is too light but they also hate the AR Gold. Fired some rounds at the range and I'm liking it a lot. Precision shots are very predictable and splits are as good or better than any trigger I've used This is my first straight trigger and I like that also, but it's available in either curved or flat. Of course I can't comment on longevity but it looks very well made and the hammer spring is very robust so I don't think there will be any ignition issues. I think there will be those who don't like it because it's too similar in feel to the AR Gold, and that's a personal feel kinda thing All in all, I think it's a great trigger by any standard and when you factor in the price, it's a winner. Good to hear! Mine has been top notch. I really believe they have made one of the best triggers on the market. And like you said, the price point is awesome for what you get. I think I'll pick up a curved just to try out next! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Obviously take this with caution, but CFE has been pretty safe over max. I've pushed it without any pressure signs. I'm really happy with it especially the consistent metering from the DPM. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Not a 14.5" but 18" yesterday. I'm pushing 55's with 27.2 grains of CFE and making 2997 avg. I'd say your numbers sound about right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Finally have everything tuned and put 100rds in 8 minutes. That was a nice steady pace with no powder spilled. I'm happy wth that output. I don't need to produce it faster. I can't believe it took this long to go blue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. By the numbers the Trigger Tech does by .02. I can't feel that minor distance. The TT to me felt better on reset though so perceptively I think it felt shorter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Not the 2011 specifically. Mine is Glock. I love it though. I use it for USPSA and 3-gun. Super fast, and good retention. The Invictus hanger is great too. I have it on a QLS.
  19. I finally broke down and bought the 650. Wow!! I see what the hype was all about. In 2 hours I had it set up and 200rds finished. Only problem is my components will he gone too fast now! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  22. They hit a homer with it thats for sure!
  23. MSRP off the top of my head AR Gold- $279 ELF- $279 Trigger Tech- $199! Geissele- $260 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. For a few years I've been using the Geissele SD3G in my rifle. It's treated me just fine and been reliable. Enough so I hadn't bothered to consider a new trigger. Well that changed when I pulled a few different ones at a match. Having a solid wall really made a difference to me. So I went on a search to find a few I'd like to try out. I picked the AR Gold, Elf Tactical 3gun and the Trigger Tech flat bow along with the SD3G I had. All besides the GA are cassette type triggers. The Elf and TT have screws to snug them up and the AR Gold uses spring clips to hold on regular trigger and hammer pins. AR Gold. This is considered the gold standard of triggers by some. I set mine to break at 2lbs 1oz. It uses a pretty unique release mechanism that uses the hammer tip instead of a sear located at the pivot point. It has a very light first stage around 4oz, this is hardly noticeable when running at speed. Even when slowing down for a long shot it's easy to blow right past the first stage and be against the wall. Once it's at the wall you continue to apply pressure at with no trigger movement noticed. At break weight you get a nice crisp release and little overtravel. Reset in my opinion is the only drawback. I prefer more tactile feedback, the gold is very faint but it is very short, so you can skip the first stage and be back in the wall. Over all it's a great trigger, my personal opinion it's 7-10. The reset being the only drawback for me. Elf Tactical- 3g The Elf has a very unique trigger bow. It's almost invisible at certain angles due to its shape. It uses a standard hammer, disco and trigger setup with a drop sear to catch the hammer if it falls. I had to work on pull weight to find a happy medium between reliable reset and low break weight. It seemed that under 2.5lbs it would occasionally jump the primary sear during fast firing. Thankfully it's has a drop safety that would catch the hammer before it fired again. I ended up at 2lbs 12oz. The Elf has absolutely zero take up. You put your finger on the trigger and it doesn't move a bit until break weight is met. Overtravel feels very short. Reset is my favorite part. It is very authoritative, almost throwing your finger forward. It's audible as well as very tactile. This trigger is very fast on splits. It did pretty well with groups and well. One note, I did have light strike problems when using CCI 41's. I tried CCI srp and had slam fires, but no light strikes. The easy fix is a new hammer from Elf. The 3G uses a skeletonized hammer. Elf will sell a solid separately which I've inquired about. Just keep this in mind if you prefer harder primers. Just because I had the light strike problem I have to give it a 6. Otherwise it would be an 8.5. Trigger Tech- This is a fairly new trigger on the market and the design is very different than other triggers. It uses a roller in a cage that interfaces with the sear. This is what they call frictionless release technology and it really is. When you peek inside the cassette you see that some serious engineering was involved in the design. The trigger is a 2 stage design with the first stage around 13oz. This was the most consistent on the pull gauge deviating only .4oz high to low. I have it set to break at 2lbs. The weight adjustment has a detent that help with repeatability. This was my favorite trigger. Their claim is that it feels like good 1911 trigger, which to me it is exactly that. The first stage is just noticeable enough without being too heavy. Once you are against the wall you really notice the lack of friction. It's as close to zero creep out of the 4. My finger even at slow speed can't discern any creep whatsoever. The trigger goes almost to zero after break and overtravel is very short. Reset for me is perfect. Short and tactile but not so hard that it pushes you back into the first stage. One thing to note is the force the hammer hits with. In the jig it seems to be the hardest of all of them. It reliably ignited 41's all day. They have a curved bow as well as the flat. I prefer the flat and it very comfortable. It has a slight hook on the tip that help to index for repeatable pull. Personally I give it a 10. GA SD3G- This was my first nice trigger. I've had it maybe 5 years. As I said this is really all I've know up until the last month. From the factory it has a 2lb 5oz break weight. GA calls it a hybrid trigger and that seems to be pretty spot on. It has a rolling break with no wall. The first stage is about a pound with the second stage being 1lb 5oz give or take. Geissele has described it like breaking a carrot and that is pretty close. It's still a very nice trigger that is very fast. It does fall flat for long shots as you can't prep the trigger at all. Reset is probably the best part. Similar to a mil-spec trigger but much smoother and controllable. Over all these are all wonderful triggers. You would do well with any of them. My preference going forward is the Trigger Tech. It just feels good to me and that's really what matters. This is just one mans opinion, so take it for what it's worth. But hopefully if anyone is hunting for a new trigger this can help them.

  25. I've been using mine for about 7 months. I believe in it. I have the optional thumb tack and can adjust retention on the fly. Can a pistol come out, yes. But it's going to take some work. The retention is n the trigger guard. The warranty is a big deal to me. Your GLs may have a very low chance of losing your pistol but if it does that's it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
