I have another grip question. When I shoot my Glocks, I tend to push down and to the right (I'm left handed). I than took my pinky and ring finger off the gun and found I could shoot straight. This doesn't happen with my 1911's that have 2 lb trigger jobs. Is this problem due to a heavy trigger. I'm thinking maybe more force to pull the trigger which makes me squeeze the grip more? I was thinking of wrapping tape around these two fingers so they're harder to bend. I also use the hogue fingergroove slip-ons on my glocks. Could the palm swell or fingergrooves be affecting anything? Any recommendations?

Can I lighten the fac. mainspring in a Colt Delta Elite for a lighter trigger pull? What weight spring should I try. I see most of the drop-in trigger jobs come with an 18 lb.

I bought a full lengh guide rod and a 20 lb. wolff recoil spring for a Colt Delta Elite. Should I replace the factory mainspring with the one that should be included with the 20 lb. recoil spring?

Does anyone know what magwell will fit a Para P-16 and still fit in the Box? I want the Para as a back-up Limited gun for USPSA and don't want to have to take the magwell on and off.

Here's where the final scores will be posted. http://www.isishootists.com/steelchallenge/2002/results.htm Sportshooter.com was out there taking pics. They may have some posted soon. http://www.sportshooter.com/ I also believe American Shooter was out there filming. http://www.americanshooter.com (Edited by Dump1567 at 10:28 pm on Aug. 18, 2002)

Open 1. Leatham 68.45 2. Sakai (from Japan) 70.41 3. Jarrett 70.62 4. Racaza 70.76 5. Barnhart 72.15 Limited 1. Leatham 76.88 2. Jarrett 81.81 3. Miculek 84.43 4. Vidanes 86.02 5. Newquist 87.10 Matt Burkett won IDPA ESP with an 85.56 David Sevigny won IDPA SSP with a 93.13 Miculek was also top Law Enforcement. I didn't know he was even a cop? I was told that K.C. had a 2.33 sec. run on speed Opt. Minus the 2 sec. that's a .33 sec run! Leatham also won the shoot-off from what I was told. This was definetly his year. It was a great match. The temp. was only in the 80's with a breeze. I came in 135 out of 171 and still won $450.00 worth of prizes at the prize table (I shot a 154.83). I highly recommend this match to all regardless of your skill level. (Edited by Dump1567 at 8:24 pm on Aug. 18, 2002)

I have a Para P-16 limited with a Dawson Ice Magwell on it. Has anyone tried to see if this set-up would fit in the box for IDPA ESP division. I cut out a sheet of paper the same dimension as the box and it looked like it would fit.

I ended-up getting the 200 for work and am using a Gordon Davis for the Police Olympics. It's just like a 200, but sits a little lower. By the way, Swede20 was getting .60 draws out of his Raptor. Definetly something you have to train with. I watched him go against Michael Voight using a race holster. Swede20 was just as fast with his Raptor and Stock G20. Scary!

I bought it from Rene @ Speed Shooters International. http://www.speedshooter.com/ That's who I went through. He had a CA Edge in stock in hardchrome. Should pick it up in about 10 days. Dawson wanted me to wait 6+ weeks for this gun to be ordered from STI. Now if I just had money to build some mags.

Any views on the Dawson Jarrett Para Ord? I guess these are also CA legal and only cost about a grand.

I currently use a G35 for USPSA, and am thinking of spending the big money and buying a 1911 limited gun. Being stuck in CA, I'll probably only be able to buy a California Edge if I go new. Whose got the best prices? I've seen some package deals in Front Sight magazine. Are these any good? Whose got the best deals on magazine replacement tubes. Should I go with standard length and Beven extenders or just buy an extended tube. I'm pretty unfamiliar with these guns, so any info would be useful.

I bought the 89 and 91 at the gun show. The 91 was only 15 minutes long, so I e-mailed Lenny Magill's company and they said they would send me a new tape. I'm also waiting on the 97 nationals. I ordered it from USPSA.

"I personally feel like the 1990 nationals is one of the best on tape. " Limited or Open?

Sorry to post this here, but I figured it would get viewed quicker and by a larger audience. I want to purchase two or three of the USPSA National videos and was wondering if anyone had any favorite years and why. I only shoot limited, but wasn't sure if I wanted Limited or Open Videos. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Dave

My friend stated that the .40 and .357 sig. firing pins are longer. Supposedly for a harder primer hit? (He just took the Armorer class.) I notice aftermarket firing pins come in either large frame or small frame and there's no size difference between calibers.

All went well. Picked-up my speed a little. Come on out. They said it's going to start getting crowded until the world championship. Probably about 30 people last saturday.

I'm still thinking it over. How do these matches work? When you enter, do they give you a time frame of when your going to shoot? Do you only shoot the 7 stages once and that's it, or do the top shooters shoot it again? Thanks for all the info. I'll be shooting a steel challenge practice match on Saturday (West End Gun Club). Hopefully I've improved from over 2 months ago (186 and some change).

What's the difference between the 9mm and .40 cal. firing pin (I know the .40 has a little .40 stampped on the back)? Are these interchangeable?

I know some will think I'm sucking-up, but let me tell my success story. I just saw my USPSA score for the week and I shot 60% overall in Limited. I've been shooting in the mid 40%. I've only shot about 5 matches and am on my way to getting my C card (need one more classifier). I would like to give full credit for this improvement to reading Brian's book (and GOD). All this improvement and I'm only on page 30. I don't know if this was a fluke, but I did try to practice what I read. I guess I'll find out next time I shoot. Thanks Brian.

Here was my goal. I want a holster that has enough retention, that I also can draw from fairly fast. I'm trying to get on my dept.'s shooting team and didn't want to be at a disadvantage. I just ordered the safariland 200. I'll give that a try. Swede20 is lightning fast with the safariland Raptor that uses the push down hood. I haven't decided to switch to that design of holster yet. I'll see how the 200 works for me.

Are you looking for a holster to wear on duty...or a competition 'duty holster'? Both.

What's the fastest police duty style hoster to draw from? I know Swede20 uses the Safariland Raptor and is about to get his Master card. Anyone else use a duty holster that's fast for them? How do you carry your mags on a duty belt (vertical, horizontal, snapped,unsnapped)?

Matt, I was using the set screw. I had shot about 200 rounds over a months time before I noticed it was cracked. I tried using epoxy and superglue and neither worked. I'll just leave it alone and won't worry about it.

For LEO's using Duty gear for production class does the equipment (holster and mag pouches) have to be behind the hip? Most LEO's wear their mag pouches in front.
