For those that knew Big Dave Erickson: I don't think he had competed much recently, but I know several in the shooting community knew him. Big guy who made GM shooting a Glock 20 out of a Safariland Raptor duty holster. . That's him in the top right video clearing the plate rack. http://www.ssashooter.net/ He will be missed. R.I.P Mod, please feel free to move this to an appropriate forum.

I was having the same problem you described with the Arredondo kits in my .40 tubes. I just purchased Grams followers and springs. I'll be trying them out on Saturday. I'll let you know how they work. One thing I can already tell, is the Grams springs are longer. Hopefully this will cure my problem. I also found I could get 21 rounds in one of the mags. I may be on to something with this combo.

I sent my G22 to Charlie for his trigger job. He received my gun on Tuesday morning, and by Wednesday morning I had it back. He had it less than 24 hours! All I can say is this is one of the best Glock triggers I've ever tried. Shot about a 100 rounds with it today without any problems. Excellent trigger, excellent service, excellent guy to deal with. If you haven't gotten your Vanek trigger yet, what are waiting for? Charlie get an A++ in my book.

300lbGorilla, Feel free to refer to your trigger as the "Dump trigger" for future comparisions. I too will be purchasing a Vanek trigger once I pick-up my new toy ( sometime after the 24th). Lets keep it on the mums until after I get it done. I don't want to have to wait too long for a turn-a-round time.

Won't cutting a coil or two off the recoil spring help with this problem?

I'm having both a steel and tungsten FLGR cut to the appropriate size. I'll try both and see what I like. I also went with the S&A M/S housing with magwell. There's a local steel match that I shoot that may require reloading. Once again, this is something I can remove If I don't like it. Thanks for the input. Now comes the 5 to 6 month wait. It should be a good christmas. He's also building me an IDPA/Limited gun which should be done around the same time.

This question is a liitle late since I've already bought this project, but here it goes. My gunsmith (Will O'Hara) told me about a project that a customer of his was selling. He wanted a 5 inch comped .38 super built for a carry gun. Here's the catch. It had to weigh 28 oz. or less. This guy had $2k into this project and ran out of money. I bought all his parts for $1k. Here's what I got. Caspian single stack aluminum frame that's been accu-railed and fitted with a commander lengh STI slide. The slide has also been lightened. A 2 port custom made comp, Shuemann ramped AET .38 super barrel, 5 mags, extra accu-rails, and about all the parts needed to finish this gun. I was going to add weight back into it (tunsten guide rod, 1 piece M/S housing W/ magwell). I'll also need to spend about $400 on parts (C-more sight, etc.) and another $1K to finish it. When it's done, the overall lengh with the comp will only be 5 inches. I basically know nothing about open guns. My question is, will this gun make a decent minor load steel gun?

jhgtyre, Thanks for the website link. That's a pretty fun website. I haven't seen the frame kit yet. It's suppose to be dropped-off at my gunsmith within the next few weeks. I'll have him check it out. If anything is hinky, I won't buy it.

I'm buying it private party from a very well known shooter. I don't know where he got it or how long it's been in the states. You can't pass up on any long wide frame kit in CA.

I have the oppurtunity to buy an SPS frame kit, but no nothing about SPS other than they're out of Spain. Any info. or link to info. would be greatly appreciated (quality, specs compared to SV/STI, etc.) Thanks.

Pat, I see what you mean. Thanks for the excellent advice. Keep it coming. Is it better to shoot on the move or stop and stay back and shoot a target array? Such as the ones I kept over running.

I would also appreciate if anyone would watch me shoot the 4 stages on the attached link and tell me what you see me doing wrong and how I could improve. http://god-damn.net/Video.html Once on the website, you need to scroll down to the 4 videos of Dump. Thanks for the input.
