1.1 will be fine, especially with the bullet you're using.

For CO I bring 6 23 round mags and 4 or 5 factory mags just in case. As far as how many on hand, I have about 50 factory Glock mags new in box. I think I'd like to have at least 20 on hand for a competition or range gun and 5+ for a carry gun that I wont shoot much.

What screws and dot are you using?
-
I'd go TTI GM kit, it is as good or better than all the $150 range triggers I've messed with. If you don't care about the cost, I hear Johnny Glock is the best around but it's a little too steep for me.

I hear revolver is really taking off.

No probs with primers? Only federal??
I used Winchester primers and only had 2 light strikes in practice ammo, but the primers were extremely high. Im not sure how many rounds I shot between them, but I know it was over 10,000.

If the gun needed a lightened firing pin spring it definitely has a light hammer spring...
Yeah I forgot about the 13lb Wolff. Good catch

Who can tell me how the grip angle of a Glock 34 MOS compares to the grip angle of a CZ Shadow 2 Optics Ready?
Night and day, but with a couple of practice draws I can switch between them in the same practice session or match if needed. I think the grip angle argument is usually in your head.
-
I think the main issue with Tanfo is the stock trigger is a lot heavier than the Shadow 2 but I had Derek work mine over at the pro shop and they are incredible. Light and smooth without any of the finicky Patriot Defense springs. I think the only springs he changed were for a Henning plunger, lightened firing pin, and 10lb recoil spring.

I use the Taran base pads and they are a huge pain to put on the plastic mags and it's hit and miss on running 23+1 rounds in one. If I had it to do over, I would probably go with the Dawsons because they are a lot easier to assemble/disassemble.
-
The plastic Walther is probably the smallest grip and it has a great trigger. It kind of has a stupid magwell but it's nothing that you can't deal with.
-
It would have to be a pretty extreme lean to be worth the time to switch hands.
-
I use the kit in Gen 4/5 and they have both been solid. Just replace the springs every 5-10,000 rounds and you wont have any issues if your ammo is decent.

I haven't shot the Stock Master but for me the Stock 2 is perfectly balanced. Both the Stock 3 and Stock Master are just too heavy for minor to make sense to me.
-
I just sold my 650 on the classifieds and I still have the original box for shipping the press but I don't know where the case feeder box is. Any recommendations on boxes for case feeder and misc parts. USPS flat rate is too small.
-
I have a FS Gen 5 34 and it doesn't do this but my 43x wont eject unless I rack the slide fast.
-
Talon will peel off after a month or two most of the time. The black diamond grip tape is the best I've found, it will stay put for several months even with heavy dry fire. If you want it pre-cut you can get them from Dawson Precision (3 for $15) or you can buy rolls of the black diamond skateboard tape and cut your own.

After I posted above I saw you said in another thread that you already have a 17 slide milled for a Venom. Why not just use that instead of cutting up another slide? There's not really an advantage to 34 over 17 for CO.
But you look cooler with the 34.

it's dark out, what else is there to do but argue on the internet. I already started drinking homebrew, so dryfire is out. [emoji482]

With a proper grip the difference in sights returning is negligible between a chopped up shadow 2 and a stock gun.

It's almost like I tried to make that point and someone just wanted to keep arguing about how superior chopped up slides are for skilled shooters...
-
for me it comes down to the sights coming back quicker and more predictably, as opposed to bouncing around a while still. slide reciprocating faster is part of that, along with grip, gun design, recoil spring, experience, etc....
for some folks a heavier slide seems to work fine, as long as the timing comes together so the slide helps drive the gun back to level. Under some circumstances if the gun doesn't move much (strong grip, heavy gun) , that heavier slide can drive the sights below level, so you have to wait a bit longer to shoot accurately. Cha-lee wrote about that recently in his gun review.
You can compensate for some of that stuff, but if you find the right combo that feels natural to you, you can apply more bandwidth to important things.
For sure. Cha-lee probably has the flattest shooting limited gun around.

It's still going to boil down somewhat to personal preference, and in my experience it's likely to change as you develop better skills and technique
Preference definitely changes as skill improves. I just don't think the slightly flatter gun or the slide reciprocating .001 faster translates to better match scores. Then again I guess anything that is a perceived advantage can't hurt anyone.

I think this sums it up if we're honest with ourselves.

I think you’re probably more right than wrong on this.
I’m not saying that it’s impossible to tell a difference between something like different weighted guns. Just think there’s a ton of room for miss-perceived feelings. I mean if you want gun A to be faster or slower, it’s very possible it will be. Not to mention, small aspects that can be overlooked in search of specifics. Was it faster/slower? Was it ran the exact same and all other variables were consistent? How may test runs were done? It’s easy to stop and move on once desired results were met.
again, not saying it’s not possible but definitely not easy for some. Just my opinion.
That's fair. To really give something a chance you should probably run it for a couple of months and I've only done that with a Tanfo vs G34 in production.

It will probably make it shoot a little flatter but a good comp will probably cost about half the value of the carbine.
