Can your magazines even accommodate longer OAL? Max is listed as 1.145. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you for the input. It looks like I have most of it figured out. I have to by a reamer. I have the guide rod and spring selected, but I still need to pick the right "open front" reverse plug. I also need to purchase the Collar reverse plug reamer. My slide was set up with a bushing barrel and currently lacks a collar to catch the plug.

In the process of finishing up a project. I’m ditching the bushing barrel setup. I have the new barrel inbound. Looking for guide rod/plug/spring suggestions. I apologize if this seems open ended. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry.. autocorrect got me again. It’s an EAA witness limited. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone with a witness limited out there able to tell me if this is normal? This is the inside of the left side of the slide. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a Sig TME stainless in .40, and am looking for 10 round mags that are "box friendly". Does such a thing exist?

Thank you!

Does anyone know what the weight is of the factory recoil spring in these things? I purchased the SIG TME in .40 recently. I haven't been able to find it online. Sorry for digging up an old thread. Thanks.

I'm all ears when someone has a solution to this. One of my limited tanfoglios uses the egw sear, and therefore cannot use the FPB. I find myself cleaning the channel once to twice a month. What kid of powder are you using? I clean mine once a year (every 5-8k rounds) I use Titegroup... pretty dirty powder. I don't necessarily have to clean it that often, but if I have it apart.. I might as well. It really isn't that much work. In addition to that, I go through roughly 14-15k rounds a year with my competition equipment.

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to check it out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you. I was also shown a similar drill that focuses on pulling away and driving into targets. Driving in is one of my weak points. Still working on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I mainly use liquid grip. I may be switching to pro grip. It feels a bit tackier. A friend of mine uses dirt. Such a savage. Haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would recommend starting out running some basic drills, with someone who has spent some time in USPSA. I do this, pretty much weekly. Real short, shoot and move drills. One example only requires 3 targets and 2 barrels. Set the targets out to 10-12 yards, spaced about 3-5 yards apart. Use the barrels as an "A to B" location. From the buzzer, draw while standing behind barrel A and place 2 shots in each target. Then, while moving/changing mags, get to barrel B and repeat with 2 shots per target. All the while, minding one's safety fundamentals, and watch the 180. In addition, any local steel challenge matches are also a very good way to start out. All static shooting. This provides great training for drawing from a holster, gathering a clean sight picture, trigger control, and target transition. Hope this helps.

But what if the shooter can't yet shoot accurately at any speed? I see shooters who are obviously emphasizing speed and when I go up to score their targets, I get a little queasy feeling in my stomach when I see the number of mikes and no-shoot hits. Sometimes tough love might be OK, where you say those dreaded words "slow down and learn to put those bullets on target." There is no use going fast if you can't hit stuff. For those of you who sorted out your accuracy issues long ago, maybe this seems ridiculous. No problem with me. People point at me and laugh all the time. +1

Lol! I'm sure the YMCA might not appreciate that too much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but glock mags tend to get touchy with feeding out passed the 1.14x realm. Thats at least my experience. I keep them in the 1.135 realm. With that, they feed in pretty much anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome to the DQ club. Such lessons learned are not so easily forgotten (hopefully). With any luck everyone there learned the same lesson as you have served as an example of what NOT to do. I too have learned from the mistakes of others. I have also provided examples of what NOT to do for others. There are 4 kinds of competitive shooters: Those that have been DQed. Those that have not. Those that will be. Those that should have been. Amen to that.

Yes to all that! The only tricky part is to keep all that in mind, for every stage, forever. Sounds like some kind of sorcery to me. It reminds me of my last local steel match. I climbed into my head and tried to burn the house down. The results were less than satisfying.

I tend to go back and forth on taking the time to prep, and just going for it. I have been at this for about 2 years now, and I still get nervous prepping up for the first stage at each match. (First stage jitters). That's normal, right? haha.

How come you took off the slide release? Slide relealses are a crutch... pro's don't need them... if only I was a pro... ;-P Henning sells a replacement cross piece that is harder then the stock slide/lock cross pin. I had heard tails of the stock one deforming over time.. so I just upgraded to the henning cross pin. Occasionally when I when load really long my rounds would catch the slide lock and prematurely lock it open. (This was solved with new mec-gar mags), but I figure rather than grind down a perfectly good slide lock, I'd just use the pin. I really don't miss the slide lock. I rarely if ever run my limited gun dry.. so it's not really an issue. I am going to be trying out the cross pin pretty soon. I shave the catch off of all of my mags anyway. And...The way I see it, if you go dry in limited... something has gone terribly wrong. lol.

So much truth here. I ended up taking 2nd in limited at the last match I attended by 0.19%. Thats maybe a second or two... or the difference between One charlie to one delta.
