[Recovery from 'Shooters Elbow']

I got it really bad last winter. I already lift weights but I started doing a lot of forearm grip training also this winter. I still have a little pain this year but not enough to interfere with my training. It just gets a little sore once in a while if I hit it hard. Last winter I could barely pick things up with my arm extended. Hurt like hell.

[Making the Switch to Tanfo from Glock....]

Henning makes disconnectors and sears? You sure he didn't mean Eric (Xtreme) ?

Since it has an Xtreme hammer that's probably correct.

I'm going to tear it down when I get it and see what I've got.

[Making the Switch to Tanfo from Glock....]

Thanks for all the responses.

I just purchased a used Stock 2 off Gunbroker:

Comes with:

6 mags with Springer base plates.

Red Hill holster

Fiber front sight

Description said it had some trigger work done but wasn't specific. Guy said it has a Henning disconnector and sear. Didn't mention it has a Titan hammer which I figured out from the pictures.

Hope I like it!

Can't find it on Amazon.

[Old Stock 2 vs. New Stock 2]

Where does one find the manufacture date? Is it on the factory case label or by serial number?

I'm looking at picking up a used one.

Thanks.

Yikes. So it's pretty much like stating over again. I'm sure that's got to be frustrating.

I'm just now starting to creep up on B class times with the Glock.

[Making the Switch to Tanfo from Glock....]

Thanks. Sounds like it's pretty big deal. My plan was make the switch in late fall so I have full winter of dry fire under my belt.

[Making the Switch to Tanfo from Glock....]

Thinking about making the switch from a Glock 17 to a Stock 2 and have some questions before I drop a bunch of coin..

What are some of the issues people have with making the change? I've only shot Glocks for the past 4 years.

Were draws and transitions more difficult because of the added weight?

How about mag changes? I know the mag well has to be better. I have to do the filp with Glocks to reach the mag release. Is the Tanfo a shorter reach?

Was getting used to a DA/SA difficult?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

This is a blatant post whoring post.

Yes sir it is.

I meant mine.

[Practice with a purpose]

I'm new to USPSA this year. Been seriously dry firing and practicing since April.

I keep a journal of my dry and live fire practices with drills run and par times. I alternate between Anderson's book and Stoeger's book for my drills.

I do Anderson's drills 1-12 M,W,F since my fundamentals need the most work. T, Th I do 2 drills from each section of Stoeger's book. Sat is either off or I might dry fire a mini stage. Sunday is live fire practice or a match.

The nice thing is being able to look back and see that you've cut 5 seconds off your El Prez since you started.

Now I'm happy to cut a tenth or two every couple weeks.

My par times keep getting shorter and my match scores keep getting better so this is working for me for now.

This is a blatant post whoring post.

[How often do you practice and shoot matches?]

5-6 40-60 min dry fire sessions per week.

2 300 round live fire practices and 2 matches per month.

[Suppressor for training]

That's going to one long-ass draw from a Production holster.

[Gen 4 extended magazine release]

I put a factory Glock extended in my 17. It helps a little. The two things I really dislike about Glocks are the mag release and mag well.

[Dillon for a newbie]

I started on a 650. Just read the manual and watch the videos on Youtube. Learning curve isn't bad.

I would recommend picking up a single stage also for load development.

Oh and, get the case feeder.

[Glock Frame work]

Pretty easy to do yourself with a Dremel and cylinder sanding attachment. You can rough it in with the Dremel then polish it with fine grit sandpaper. Just go slow.

I do mine myself (I still get Glock knuckle though.)

I still don't have the guts to stipple myself though.

[First shot]

Thanks guys. I do have a timer, but I haven't had an opportunity to use it at the range. I did some dry fire practice last night with a 1.2 sec par time. I could get an aimed shot off 90% of the time, but it felt rushed. I am going to try to stop freaking myself out on the c-word stages and treat them all the same. I will start asking more questions after the stages to be aware of what is going on. Sometimes I feel like I'm in the matrix. For instance, reloads...I grab the mag and put it in the gun. I have had very few mishandlings, but I am not aware of how I grip the mag. I just do it.

I do the same thing. I'm on auto pilot during a course. Reloads just kind of happen and I have no real memory of how I did them.

[Glock groups size]

4" 5 shot groups on the rare occasion when I'm on. Normally 6".

Glock 17 KKM barrel and 147 grain hand loads.

[Glock 34 gen 3.]

I never heard of DK. I have purchased parts from TTI. I'll look into that.

DK triggers are badass, They are in the Industry section. Read the reviews.

[in your opinion...]

Dry fire for an hour a day 6 days a week.

[USPSA considered expensive compared to other sports or hobbies?]

Let's see, in the past 6 months:

Dillon 650 with all the gizmos and gadgets

Buttload of reloading components

Belt/Holster/mag pouch set up

Gun parts

I've spent a pretty good chunk of change.

[Dillon 550 or 650 or Hornaday Ammo Plant]

650 for sure.

[Acquiring the sights after draw]

Can you shoot well with a target focus? Can you learn to? I know this isn't going to work 25 yards but for bowling pin distance it should be fine.

[Energy Stimulants/supplements]

Man, I'm jittery enough before a match.
