Yep, that will be the Short Stroke with 5 steel weights. It's a solid choice for a very fast, soft cycle.
Why did you choose the 5 steel weights over 5 tungsten or a combo of tungsten and steel? I am trying to tune a JP GMR-15 with a short stroke system. I have 5 tungsten and the uncolored spring installed now. I have tried numerous combos of springs and weights but I do not have an all steel option ( and now I’m wondering if I need to buy 3 more steel]. As it stands now the gun shoots flat enough and the recoil is light enough with my homegrown, but... like everyone else I’m always looking for just a little bit flatter and a little softer recoil. I have a factory stock leadstar pcc which came with a blitzkrieg kynshot buffer and an AR 10 spring. It is a soft shooter and has served me well in steel challenge matches. But the JP “fits” me better so I’m giving it a try. Thanks

If you like the blacked out rear check out the Ameriglo Hackathorn set.
Thanks. I bought the Hackathorn set today. The model number is GL-436, verified by Don at ameriglo. I will lyk how it works out.

Hi All,
I am wanting to replace the front sight on a new glock 48. It currently has the factory white sights and I blacked out the rear sight with a sharpie. (Yes I know I'm cheap) This pistol will primarily be used for carry and self defense. (maybe visit an IDPA match or two) I am wondering if I should replace the front sight with a tritium or fiber optic one . Any thoughts, opinions or recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Hi Frank
I am a right handed shooter and shoot mostly RFRO and PCC. My order is 1,2 move 4,3 stop. (Plates labeled left to right) The reason I do so, is simply because I get my fastest times and it is comfortable for me to shoot it that way.
I shoot the 1 plate first and then the 2 plate because I will be moving my feet left to right and this order allows for smoother movement. As soon as I shoot the number 2 plate I move to the second box keeping my sight fixed on the number 4 plate the whole time. I shoot the 4 plate as soon as my right foot (third step) is touching the ground inside the second shooting box. I shoot the 4 plate first because that allows the 3 plate and stop plate to be shot in a continuous smooth right to left transition. Also, sometimes when my left foot catches up and touches the ground it will cause my sight picture to wobble a bit; I'd rather it wobble on the larger 3 plate than the 4. Cheers.

I changed the sights on my 48 before I ever fired the gun. I usually prefer Sevigny Competition sights on Glocks, but I went with a plain black Dawson rear and an Ameriglo tritium .125 width front on my 48 (GL112T). The Dawson had three options for notch width. I got the widest one (can't remember the exact dimensions). I'm not a fan of Dawson front sights for Glocks because they usually have a "shelf" (for lack of a better description) on the bottom of the sight that is sometimes visible in the sight picture with shorter front sights (that the smaller Glocks usually require). The Ameriglo is just a simple post.

Yeah, I’ve been trying to decide between Dawson fiber optic or something else. I have Dawson sights on my 3 gun pistols and I’m happy with them. This gun has a different purpose so I might put some type of low profile night sights on them. I’m signed up for a match tomorrow night under the lights, maybe white dot will be adequate.

I bought a Glock 48 for concealed carry. I have left it in factory configuration as I wanted to see how well it shot right out of the box. My first impression: was how well it fit (my hand), the grip is the right size and length of pull is perfect. I really like the beaver tail too. The trigger was a bit weighty (6 lb) but after 100 rds and some dry firing it settled down to 5-5.5 lbs. Shooting: the gun is easy, as it has very mild muzzle rise. Recoil really never registered unless I purposely focused on it. Even when I shot it using only one hand the muzzle rise was controlled. It’s not a .22 lr but it’s a relatively flat shooter. The downside: to the Glock 48 is the front sight. I was shooting good groups out to 15 yards but then that big white dot got in the way on targets placed at 20-30 yards. Concealing: the gun is easily done as it is of compact stature. I like the gun, it fits me and serves its purpose well.
Cheers.

I called Briley and Gary said send it back for replacement. I called Beretta, they made me wait 10 minutes and then a recorded message said to leave my number.
Slowmiss: I can see that happening but this was in the open on a swinger and then a rack. i was using prairie storm ammo (I've shot magnum turkey loads before with np.) but it happened about 4-5 shots later after a reload. I'm hoping to hear back from Beretta today.
-
Yeah Tony, makes me wonder if the handle was loose in the bolt carrier. It’s a great shotgun so I’m hoping its something simple. I’m going to call Beretta CS tomorrow but wanted to get some feedback before I did. Thanks.
-
Has anyone seen, heard or know of a problem with the charging handle on Beretta 1301 comp?
I have broken two in less than two years. They sheared off right at the bolt. The first time it happened was with
the original handle and the second was a Briley..

Follow up: I shot in another match and gun malfunctioned again. This time with #7 birdshot. I called Mossberg CS and they want it back to inspect and replace bolt. Wishing I had the cash for Benelli.

Logiztix: Yeah, I'm actually understanding what you mean. I'm hoping it is just a spring issue. The spring I'm using is stock from factory. I ordered some Fed and Fiocchi LR slugs. I'm hoping they will fix the problem. I kinda like Using this spring because it's shooting lite rounds with no problems. My thanks to all of ya. I will let you know how next match or trip to the range goes.

HeyChris: Will do.

*After searching numerous forums and web-sites and coming up empty I decided to join this forum. (Converted troller) My apologies if this issue is listed elsewhere or needs to be posted elsewhere.*
I am having a problem with my new JM pro. During a three gun match I shot 73 rounds of shotgun shells. 60 of these shells were #7.5 birdshot, 10 were #9 bs and 3 were slugs (winchester, 2 3/4, 1oz 1600fps). All of the rounds fired and cycled correctly with the exception of the 3 slugs. When firing the slugs, the shotgun locked up with the bolt in the open position. Pushing the bolt release button cycled the bolt forward and then I had to manualy load the next round. After the third slug I manually chambered in the #9 birdshot and finished the stage with no problems. Before I shot the shotgun I thouroughly cleaned and prepped the gun as prescribed by JM's and other youtube videos. If anyone has a solution I surely would appreciate it. Thanks.
