I've recently started using the tanfo custom mag catch, as I just can't reliably release the mag without it, (unless I run thin grips which I also dislike). However it's too big and lately I've been inadvertently dropping a mag, particularly after a reload if my grip is just a little off. I know the aftermarket mag catches are good to go under the new production rules, but is it okay to modify an aftermarket catch? I'm going to grind away some of the excess material if so. I wish someone would make an adjustable paddle like on the Shadow 2.

@chaserracer I ordered a set of Palm Swells yesterday. If they don't work out for me and you still happen to have the custom LOk's I'll hit you up, appreciate the offer though. I need to off load a bunch of grips myself ha!

Thanks for the replies guys. I might give the LOK palm swell grips a go.

Started C class in production, took about 6 months to make B class, where I'm currently at. Sitting at 72% hopeful to make A class this year. I dry fire 25 to 30 mins a day four to five days per week. I try to live fire once a week, but many times it ends up being once every two weeks 400 - 500 rounds per session. If you don't already have it, Ben's books are great, I also do a lot of dry fire work from Anderson's Refinement and Repetition. Since your new, I'd check out Shoot Fast Podcast, Practical shooting after dark, That shooting show, and Make Ready Podcast. Tons of good information between those podcasts for free.

Anyone know the difference between the Unica Custom size LF grips, and the full size LF grips? I think I own every set of grip options minus the Hennings, and I keep going back to the stock wood grips. I'd like something thick, with a bit more texture. I'd hate to drop another $100 bucks on a set of grips that collect dust. https://patriotdefense.com/unica-tanfoglio-unica-grip-custom-size-lf/

Atlanta 3 gun hosts some pretty fun 3 gun matches at South River Gun club. Lots of friendly folks will help you do well on your first match.

Good point, I honestly didn't look that far ahead.

Anyone try the Holosun 507C? I'm toying with the idea of picking up another Stock 2 and having it milled.

Made B Class. New goal is A by December. Things are starting to "click", and I'm more motivated than ever.

First goal knocked out. Made B Class production last week. My last two classifier scores were just shy of A class. My current practice schedule is between 40 mins - 1 hour of dry fire 6 days per week, and 1 day of live fire per week. Next goal is A class by December.

I had the same problem. Sent my barrel to Patriot, and now I can load out to 1.150 if I choose. It's totally worth the price

I just ordered Refinement and Repetition myself. Came across his podcast, and his methods / styles really sink in for me. Looking forward to getting his other books and putting them to use.

Congrats! wife and I are thinking about moving, this is one of my stipulations as well. Hopefully I can make it happen in the near future. Keep us updated as the range gets underway.

Thought about giving these a go just because. Curious how they feel compared to the Scale 2.0's.

I was depriming before in a Lee universal decapping die. Got tired of wasting the time for high volume 9mm loading.

Just started getting serious with my training program for USPSA and in the past I've focused on 3 gun. Pete Malecki A100703 Production C Limited C I'm shooting production for the foreseeable future. After a botched classifier at my last match (37%!) I'm sitting at 55.65%

Send it off and be done with it. I don't regret sending mine to PD at all, no longer have to load silly short.

So after going back and forth I just sent the barrel off to PD. Also ordered all the PD goodies, now on to polishing the new parts! Appreciate all the info fellas!

I'm a lefty and have some mag problems with the mag catch flipped. Mine wont reset in double action on a empty mag, does it on about 50 % of my mags. Doesn't really matter so I just gave up on worrying about it. Never had any issues with it not resetting in single action. I'd be willing to bet it's holding the mag up a little high?

Call or message him on Facebook.

I kind of agree with this. I'd put Ben on the list.

^^^^^ This. Kimball is very good to deal with.

That's the way I was leaning. Guess I'll run to the post office and send it off. Just called PD and they usually have a 1 day turn around. So a week ish without it won't kill me.

I've been running 124g Xtreme plated and as the cost continues to rise I've decided to give coated projectiles a try. With the Xtreme, I'm able to load to 1.150 in my Stock 2. Just bought a 250 round sample pack of Blue Bullets 125g RN and have to seat them at 1.080, seems deep for the fast powders we like. Have you guys found any luck with any other brand of coated projectiles, BBI, SNS, Acme or others that are able to seat a little Longer? I know its going to vary a bit from barrel to barrel. I prefer 124/125 grain but 147 will work too. Just curious if buying a ton of varieties to try is worth it, or if my barrel needs to take a road trip to Patriot Defense. The 40 bucks for a ream is cheap, but if a certain manufactures profile works a little better in the Stock 2s I'd rather just load those for now. Thanks, Pete

Deuce, I'm glad to know it's not just my gun, strange that the mag release is the culprit. Another knock to us lefties!
