Never even thought of that. Zip tie isn't bad as long you keep the tied part facing upwards. I don't do this much anyway, I just keep trigger depressed for SA usually

I don't have first hand experience, but I've heard if you have shellplate bearing kit, you have to raise the ejector wire. You can probably bend it yourself

Yeah keep taking it down until it works with your load. I wouldn't worry about getting the barrel reamed unless you have some sort of issues beyond this. I wouldn't think it's necessary unless shooting factory ammo or wanting to load something hotter than most of us load for minor PF (

1.10 is my OAL. Works with Truncated cone and round nose. I was having feeding issues with 125 round nose blue bullets in my stock 2 but truncated ones have worked very well. I've just stuck with them, although I'm sure either would work. Truncated bullets seem to make a cleaner hole in paper too

Loaded too long, I had same issues switching from a Sig X5. Change to 125 truncated nose and shorten OAL to fit your chamber

I've run a zip tie through the hole in the hammer and tied it under the beaver tail. I only did it a couple times, now I just shoot double action and don't let the slack out of the trigger all the way for single action

This is the answer. I improved exits from using Ben Stoegers dryfire book. Load weight onto the leg you're exiting towards, when you engage last target on easier array. You can even start leaning if it's easy enough of a target you're exiting on

I'm not splitting the difference. Point your finger in front of your face, in the middle. Your dominant eye takes over focus even though it's in the middle of your face. With me, if I hold my gun out and close my right eye, it shifts my focal plane a bit (opposite of you due to having different dominant eye). That being said, it doesn't matter, as long as your dominant eye is seeing the sights, target, or whatever is needed to make the necessary shot, it is fine

I'm right handed and right eye, so maybe I can't understand the struggle. But it seems if you learn how to shoot with both eyes open (to where you no longer see doubles of sights) that eye dominance wouldn't be much if any of a factor, since both eyes are open anyways. It's not like I cheat my gun towards my right eye, I draw it and hold it centered with my face. My personal belief is eye dominance is more of a perceived problem than an actual problem. But again, that may be my biased speaking from my own experiences

After live fire today for first time with PD Palm Swells on, the gun is much easier to get a solid weak hand grip on. Didn't even need progrip today, so I'm very happy with their grips. Gun was also setting off high primers that I tossed in practice box. Got my RHT holster in too this week. Had to alter it next to mag release so it wouldn't engage it. But now it works great too

Interesting, does it distract you when trying to commit a stage plan to memory? Do you have Bluetooth plugs? If so which ones?

Visualizing every position and target and committing it all to memory by rehearing it over and over in your head from initial walkthrough of a stage until starting beep. That or knowing where each shot goes when the sights lift. Best way to learn shot calling, that I've found, is to watch where your front sight lifts from on the target. As you develop, your shot calling will evolve and what you need to see will depend on target difficulty

A guy I shoot matches with did it for his stock 3 that had a magwell. It seemed to work good. I know one of his Palm Swell grip panels cracked, but he used them for a while

I watched a video comparing the scales vs the Palm Swells after my previous post. Scales 2.0 look very nice, but are a bit pricey compared to PD grips. If scales are way better than I'll spend the extra, but I'm not sure if they are. I think I'll try Palm swells and will probably cover with in grit. May remove material around mag release too, thanks for that tip

I'd consider those as well. The appealing thing about the PD Palm swells from what I'm thinking, is it's wide lower, but thinner near the mag release. Are the scales 2.0 similar or are they wide all the way up?

I have Henning grips on my Stock 2 and I'd like something a bit thicker and more aggressive to help get a consistent strong weak hand grip. The Palm Swell grips from PD look like a good option. Anyone have pros or cons for them? Are they aggressive on the texture? If not I could put some silicon carbide on I guess

Awesome, I'm going to do this very soon. My Sig X5 was easy to hit slide stop, but my Stock 2 is a bit farther to reach. I've planned to go to slide lock a couple times, especially on an unloaded start when you cannot have the 11th round in your first mag in production. This is not unsafe nor is a stage plan going to slide lock, if it's the best stage plan. Jacob Heatherington had an awesome stage recently shooting 11, reloading to get one in chamber and reloading again, so he could shoot 11 at next position on a 22 round stage. That was obviously ballsy and he's a great shooter, but it goes to show it can be the best plan as long as you know your own skill level and limitations

I've never heard of an administrative reload. I've heard of a tactical reload, but have no idea what it is. A reload is a reload right? Hit button while grabbing new mag quickly, insert said mag into gun, reacquire sight picture. Adding additional steps will take more time. I've never shot idpa or tactical classes, so that may explain my ignorance on terminology

I know I'm more accurate generally on weak hand only vs strong hand only. I'm also slower and more deliberate weak hand shooting. That may be the OP's case as well. As Jack said, HF wise you'll probably be better shooting with normally vs switching it up. You'll get there with practice

No, dryfire more and learn to shoot with your right hand while not moving the sights. Practice trigger control and grip gun harder will generally improve accuracy. Also pay attention to where sights lift from when the shot breaks to know where the bullet will have hit the target. I'm not cross dominant, but if it bothers you that much, try that magic dot on your shooting glasses

Magpul mags for a Glock? I don't own a Glock so I can't speak on that. I would think any mag with a good basepad on it would be fine

I guess that could be advantageous if you're close to 180 when reloading. Though I would probably just be sure you're not going to break it during walkthrough. The RO with the tablet should be watching the shooter also. And ideally helping cover any spots the Timer RO can't see.

My best reloads come when I get my hand to the mag in the pouch very quickly. Then other factors for consistency include getting index finger running along magazine and looking at a specific part of inside of magwell

Got some, and found a mini bench grinder/polisher at harbor freight

I'll just hang my head in shame. Thankfully I'm not on a bomb squad or we'd all be dead. I actually watched parts 1 and 2 fully while waiting for my stock 2 to get shipped. But of course as I was doing the work I was watching and going at same time. Thanks for the videos, awesome resource! About to go find some better polishing compound or maybe those rubber silicone bits now. Been stuck inside all day with heavy rain
