I use it as a supplement to drill safety concepts and range commands into my kids heads in the backyard. I don’t get them to the range regularly enough for everything to be second nature so it’s a perfect refresher. My son has the cheap colt pistol/rifle kit from bass pro, but I know Sig makes a setup that is almost exact copy of actual weight and controls.

Best option if you have to have it is New Frontier! copied from their site: QUESTION: Do you offer a reliable last round / empty magazine bolt hold open (LRBHO) System for this lower? ANSWER: YES — After watching several companies try and fail to incorporate a RELIABLE last round bolt hold open (LRBHO) system into their lower receivers we decided to take a different approach and will be incorporating our LRBHO technology (PATENT PENDING) in our matching upper receivers. After rigorous testing and hundreds of hours of research and development we feel that this is the best option for LRBHO on a Glock magazine AR style firearm. Our upper will be compatible with other manufacturers lower receiver that either don’t have a LRBHO or you can scrap the non-working LRBHO out of your existing AR-9 Glock Mag lower and solve the issue of not having a 100% functioning LRBHO.

Trace is right.... in the classifieds here that would be about a 2k pistol BUT the Wick fans on Gunbroker seem to be driving prices on STIs thru the roof. Quick search on GB shows one in .40 sold yesterday for $2,800. In 9mm folks are paying above msrp for used DVCs on there, it’s crazy!

Everglades makes a nice cost effective primer hold down mechanism that fits in the factory Dillon 1050 tool head over the priming station, so I can’t see the need for an aftermarket head with tapped full size opening at this location. Now I’m sure it’s more durable, but unless you are running automated I can’t imagine the factory head falling short.

If anyone in this family gets a pair of Hunters Golds it’s gonna be me! I have been wanting some for awhile now and planned on pulling the trigger at MS Classic Level II butttttt unfortunately it had to be canceled. Seriously if she sticks with it I’ll certainly make the investment if they have a pair that fits her well, so far she has enjoyed it tremendously and is a surprisingly good shot. #prouddad

Thanks for the suggestion charlie, only concern is the wisp seem to have small amount of facial coverage (I use tombstones which basically cover half my face ). While searching thru the Tifosi offerings I came across the podium, and grabbed a cheap pair off ebay to see if they will fit my kids face as small as the wisp! Sounds like foam plugs are the consensus for their little ears.... appreciate all the feedback

I have a five(m) and seven(f) year old who love going to the range and shooting the 22/45 lite, but the entire time they complain about the glasses / ear muffs hurting. 90% of this is that they are not used to wearing anything on their face, but i do feel like if i found some gear more suited for their age it would be more comfortable. Can anyone recommend quality PPE for shooters under 10?

Took my akai SRO Mount and got to work. Clipped the post off and then drilled / tapped. Just have to make sure and hold optic plumb while tightening down. Should work fine since I don’t plan on taking it back off once I spray the Mount black.

second that! 8.2 gr Under a PD 124 makes 169PF out my KKM barrel with two popple holes

Thanks but I’m looking for frame mounted to go on an open gun

Wow....not even some milling of the blast shield could make that work. Thanks for the pic echotango!

Can someone confirm the Romeo3 max or xl will fit the Everglades RTS2 Mount? (Pics would be awesome) I know another builder had to come out with a new version of the RTS2 Mount in order to allow the Romeo3 max enough clearance on muzzle side of Mount. thanks in advance!

I would say they are supposed to be consumable to prevent damage or accelerated wear to the expensive part of the equation. I picked up mine off amazon no clue the brand but they started to show wear pretty quick and I don’t dry fire that often. About that time I got another 2011 and was having feeding issues. Figuring it was magazine related I needed to load up my own dummy rounds with my actual oal and projectile. Took an razorblade and trimmed some rubber to snuggly fit primer hole, pretty easy to make your own. Main thing is keeping them well marked as dummy rounds and in a separate place in range bag from live ammo.

Great video. That barrel doesn’t look a day old, incredibly precise fit for it to be spotless 50k in. When you talk about trigger jobs being something that needs addressing every 25k or so, what it is you look for to know when it’s time?

This was my go to early on when switching calibers out, its great: https://youtu.be/Bvr7AcUFipY

I liked that setup for Steel, but found it to be way too busy for partial and tuxedo shots forcing a slower pace

Started with slideride 6 moa then went to the 510c with 2.5 moa and felt the trade off of glass size vs dot size wasn’t worth it. Jumped to the SRO 5 moa and it’s been great but after seeing the Romeo 3 XL 6 moa that’s where I’m headed next, should be best of both worlds. Hoping it ships in the next couple weeks!

Akai makes both single and double sided SRO mounts

So they drop fine but fall over when they reach the seater station ? If so you may need a little more bell

I believe they set the end mill to cut deeper. I selected extra aggressive on my build that should be in shortly and will report back.

I know the feeling I hit up the vets sale you described and then Black Friday came along but I kept thinking well at least I’m ahead of the rush I wouldn’t have delayed mine a day as PT has been awesome to work with, give us a range report when you get a hold of it. Judging by your dates I shouldn’t be too far out now.

Great info.....so clearly the felt recoil will be different, which do you prefer on your setups ?

That’s gorgeous, really like the double undercut haven’t seen that on many evos. Did you get additional barrels ?

Akai now makes a right side thumb assist it’s the best I have found
