  1. Duh. How did I not figure this out. Thank you your a lifesaver
  2. I also like the champion one. It must sticks on with double sided tape so no permanent modifications but everyone I know with one has had it on for a long time. I though it would help with my cross eyed dominance and it might have, but I also had a briley rear sight machined into the barrel.
  3. How come my Gen 2 STI Mags dont work with a uplula? Is there a way to fix this? Another brand that works with it? Does anybody know
  4. Interesting. Let us know whichever one you end up getting and if you have any more questions I can gladly try to help
  5. Dang I only got one mag with mine, but bought 2 more. Also keep in mind that a Magwell is an extra charge as well, I was surprised when I saw that. Either way you will love whichever one you pick, in the end it's more or less looks, the function isn't going to be noticeably different. Must have just been on my run of SE's that they included the 2 tone in the price.
  6. I went with DLC Black and TiN. If I remember correctly, they advertised you could choose between 2 I dont remember what options were available.
  7. I got a Titan SE. It cost a little more but I personally like the butler cut over the fdc. In 9mm with a 50 oz. gun that little bit of weight you wont notice. Go for whichever look you like better so you don't regret it later. The extra $500 also includes the 2 coating colors which is usually a $400 add on I think, plus the frame with the tac rail.
  8. Thanks everyone for your feedback. Still kinda torn but I think I'm a little closer to deciding
  9. I have a factory 2011 grip and after fondling with a DVC stippled gun almost a year ago over decide I want a more aggressive grip. I would go to e metal grip but I shoot IDPA and as far as I know they would be overweight (correct me if I'm wrong). So I'm either to a DVC stipple or Silicon Carbide. I feel the stippling might make the grip smaller and I have freakishly long fingers and don't really want the grip any smaller than it already is, and I see the carbide wearing off over time, or does this not happen? What are everyone's experience with each and maybe some tips and tricks for the process?
  10. Anyone have experience with the GPS Executive. I am looking for a backpack that holds a laptop and it seems to be the only one. They make some high quality stuff and I think that's what I'll be getting
  11. Never had any issues with MBX except for 3 mags not fitting in my grip, which some tuning is expected with any mags. I do have some new style STI mags bit have barely used them. Only got them because they were on sale
  12. Recently got my Carbon Arms belt and ratchet system in the mail. I also bought one of their inner belts with is pretty flimsy for the extra 15 dollars. Maybe it won't matter because you can synch your belt down so tight. I plastic belt is pretty stiff and I like it so far. Paired with the ELS and I think it's a winning setup
  13. Interesting. I'll have to send them a email
  14. I recall earlier this year seeing a post on Facebook I believe talking about someone who's slide stop will fall out when holding the gun sideways and racking the slide. People were saying (if i recall correctly) that this is due to the frame being out of spec. I didn't worry about it then because it was the middle of the season. I figure if I need to send it back to STI that this is the time of year to do it. Is this a issue I need to worry about and should have fixed? Or not worry about. I have had it fall out after shooting a stage during the unload and show clear, luckily it was indoors. I just need some input from others
  15. I have determined I am going to use the Carbon Arms belt with the ratchet system. The belt is a plastic and has enough holes for whatever mounting system you choose. I'm choosing the ELS for everything including the holster because I'm getting a good deal on stuff from Safariland. I'm also getting there shotshell caddies. I won one earlier this year and it's awesome how it works. The only downside is you have to adjust for the length of the shells, but they don't move when your using them
  16. I'm looking at upgrading my belt setup over the season and looking for input. I am really looking at the ELS best because I currently use tecloks and whenever I have a full belt it's not velcro'd anywhere on the belt, it just hangs there. Yes I have tried velcro on the back of the tecloks but I don't like it because I can't easily remove the tecloks. If you use ELS what are some things to make it better or do you like it the way it is. And how do you do your holster. I've seen just tecloks or something like the qls or RTI mounts, I want to be able to remove it easily What does everyone perfer and pros and cons of each. I will be using this for 3 gun and a little USPSA so I need to be able to switch gear quickly
  17. I read your post on Facebook about that the other day. Definitely won't forget that part
  18. I have flown to a IDPA match before, but seeing it's just a pistol it fit right in the checked bag. But next year I'm looking at flying to some major 3 gun matches. What is everyones set up for flying. My plan was to go with a soft case inside of a hard case but I know there are many options for that. I've looked at the explorer cases although it seems the soft cases for those are kinda cheap. That's what I take away from pictures. Also my dad has a large Cabela's case and I've been looking at the Safariland 3 Gun Soft case that I could just put inside and use that case. Another issue might be the 12 round shotgun tube that I would perferebly not take of but will if needed. So what's everyone else use and your setup's.
  19. Well that's a little disappointing any idea what it's called
  20. I could swear it was them I just couldn't find anything about it or how it worked
  21. As I was practicing my quadloading today I was thinking if only it didn't take a minute to unload. And I recalled that earlier this year I saw someone who had designed a hinged Bolt Release so you could unload the tube with one movement. Am I crazy and just had a weird dream or is this a reality and who sells them
  22. I just opened 3 new ones I got in the mail and was curious so I took them apart. They are all 140s but 2 are 40 S&W and 1 is 9mm. I take the springs out and the followers aren't clicked on to the followers and I can't get them on. Anyone else have these issues and know hot to fix this
  23. So my new Benelli M2 is in the mail and I'm thinking about ditching my factory choke for extended chokes. Which brand should I go with. I've been looking at Briley and have a guy who's a distributor with them so I could get them a little cheaper. Or should I look into some other brand. Also what kinds of chokes, I think for sure Full and IC, what others. I can probably do 5 before getting out of my desired spending range. I've looked at the speader chokes. Are they worth it? I'm mainly shooting club match but there are always more difficult shotgun stages. Thanks for any input
  24. I use MBX mags for all my match and I have 4 old style STI mags that are practice only. That bring said I have 10 MBX mags, my 9mm one have never cause me issues. 3 of the 126s for IDPA run perfect. 2 140s in 9mm, only issue I've had was followers turning sometimes something you have to watch for. And then I recently got 3 140s for 40 s&w, all of which needed a good amount of tuning to work. They all came and wouldn't fit in the grip, the feed lips were way off and they didn't sit right on the magazine release so the had to be tuned there to. MBXs are expensive but by the time you buy every other part separately it will probably be over the cost of them anyways
  25. I got a bone stock STI Eagle a year and a half ago. Currently I'm having a 40 top end build for it and I currently have a 9. The 9 I use in IDPA and 3 Gun and shot minor until this point. I'm going to use the 40 for Major, my gunsmith doing it is also a sponsor so its cheaper than most other gunsmiths and its also his first time doing something like this. I personally like this is over the separate barrels because it's easier to keep separated especially when it comes to guide rods and springs. The main reason I'm doing this thought is because I have a friend who can do a DVC stipple and I want the grip to be the same no matter what top end I'm using, it will feel the same. Granted that one day I'm sure I'll shoot open and have a separate gun for that, it just makes it easier at this point
