Test 1- normal Test 2- dead trigger Test 3- dead trigger PPQ M2 5", no modifications. Performed test by pulling the slide back to create about 1/8" of space between slide and breech.

That height over bore...

@GregInAtl It adjusts your point of impact. Hope this gets you sorted out.

So this is gambling... with guns? And your post sounds like a straight-up advertisement for the place. What are the chances you're affiliated with them and are astroturfing?

Anyone notice the Open version in the video at 0:55?

1. Yeah, definitely bump the OAL down a bit to run in Glock mags, especially if you're running any sort of extension. 2. I was running a large-frame extended mag release on mine, and it led to exactly the problem you're mentioning so don't do that. I eventually settled on just the Glock OEM extended mag release for small-frame guns. It's a tad proud, and only requires me to slightly break my grip to give it a positive push. 3. Nope, you can run without the plate without any trouble. It's not going to remove a lot of weight, but it will reduce it some.

Lots of stuff to break down here. 1. It's not the thickness of the barrel you have to worry about with 9major, it's chamber support for the brass. Pretty much all aftermarket Glock barrels will have decent enough chamber support to run 9major. I ran a Lone Wolf barrel that Kneelingatlas throated for me to accommodate longer loads. 2. Open Glocks can be okay and locally competitive, but they're always going to be a compromise vs a 2011. I get the hesitation to spend the money on a 2011, but I would recommend thinking of the Glock as simply a way to get your feet wet in Open without having to drop a bunch of money first. 3. I'm sure someone has. 9mm conversion barrels have been around for a while, and I personally have several thousand minor loads through my G22 conversion barrel without trouble. 4. Yep, it's totally legal. 5. 9major isn't terrible to load, you just have to pick a good powder and work up a load using caution. Have you thought about just making it into a .40 open gun? Plenty of people have done so with decent results.

The weight was the problem with another buddy who was having the same problem with his G35. It was basically a pump action Glock because it would have this malfunction almost every shot. I think what's happening is that it's deforming the nose of the frame enough that it drags on the recoil spring and bushing as the gun cycles, dramatically slowing the slide down.

I started with 10 yards because that's the distance that most targets are at for my local matches, then I bumped it out to 25 yards after shooting a major match and realizing it's harder to apply holdovers on long targets than on close ones.

What's your load? I found that with light 147gr loads I occasionally had failures to eject like you're describing. Bumping up the powder by a couple tenths fixed it. The tough reloads are not something that you can really fix unfortunately. I got to the point where if I knew I was going to have to do a reload on a classifier or at a monster match, I'd plan my stage around having to do a reload to a partially-loaded mag. I'd recommend getting a big stick and just never having to reload except on classifiers

I think I'm probably the closest to running a Taccom without a handguard, but I still put my hand out there. The meaning of the WSB is the same.

I'd guess it's not a problem with the DPP. It's likely either an issue with your mount, or user error. Just to make sure, you're trying to zero the dot with the gun canted over so your 45° optic is on top, right? If so, it's time to take off that mount and double check everything. The picatinny clamp on some of the cheaper mounts can be a little wonky sometimes and not always clamp straight on. I'd double check that it seems to be engaging properly. One thing you can do is take it off, remount it ensuring that it clamps on properly, torque it down to the right spec, and then try to boresight it by placing your primary dot on an object at the end of a hallway, and then moving the offset dot to that same object without moving the gun. It takes some coordination and a vise definitely helps, but this is what I did to make sure my offset would work when I first mounted it.

Polymer Performance in San Antonio is putting out good work. The owner is willing to work with people on custom builds too if you have an idea you really want.

I shot many thousands of rounds of RMR plated 124gr RN through my Open gun. Fairly accurate, didn't leave any leading or deposits in the barrel or comp. And when there's a sale going on, you can often get them for ~8.1cpr.

I think it's absurd that IPSC decided to break Production Optics into two separate divisions because polymer guns supposedly aren't competitive. Look at what the top finishers from this year's nats were shooting. It's the Indian, not the arrow.

If you're looking for a cheaper solution, I have a Kinetitech in my G34 that I'm happy with. Breaks very close to vertical, and has an similar shape to the Zev without the little bump on the bottom. With a - connector and a spring set it gives a very nice rolling break.

I'm surprised nobody has asked whether you've tried different loads. Even out of a pistol at short range, not all loads are created equal.

I had some luck changing to a lighter recoil spring. I run a 13lb spring on my 34mos, and a buddy suggested going even lower to 11lbs

I'm amazed you're possibly making PF with 3.9gr. I'm like the poster above and need almost 5gr to make PF out of my G34 with a 124.

So I can't edit my post above, but I'm actually going to backtrack on my statement above. The issue was actually with my belt. I discovered that when I held the belt to prevent flex, the holster actually drew quite nicely. The problem was that the belt would flex, cocking the holster off to the side, and prevent a smooth draw straight up. After changing to a DAA belt and making sure it's tight on my waist, the problem seems to have gone away. I think I'll be happy with this holster for a while.

I've had the Ghost holster for about a week and dryfired with it for about 30 mins per day. It is hot garbage. If I smash my hand down into it to get a high grip, it almost locks onto the gun and requires a very snappy pull to release- not exactly conducive to a smooth draw. With scoop draw it's kind of meh. I've backed out the retention screws to where they're just hanging on by half a thread and it doesn't help. I'm going to call them today and ask for a refund.

I'm way into PCC, so I'm not advocating for this as a way to single them out and punish them. You might remember me as the PCC shooter in your squad at the Space City Challenge who slipped on mud and DQ'd earlier this year. In the same way that turn and draw, sitting, and hands on "X" starts offer variety and challenge, I think this is a good start position. It's not exclusionary to anyone because it's not a physically difficult start position.

I'm all for just making all stages bill drills of varying distance with PCCs starting aiming down the sights at the target.

There's a better explanation. After thinking about it, equalization between divisions is unnecessary. It does, however, provide a challenge to PCC shooters.
