  1. Anybody know what Taran Tactical mag extensions fit the Strike One?  My buddy has one and a couple of the TT mag ext. I wanted to get him a few more for a bday gift but he doesn’t know which Tarans they are. They don’t list the Strike One on their website so I’m guessing it’s a cross compatibility thing. 

  2. Anyone ever add more epoxy/silicone carbide to an already finished grip that’s had a SC treatment. I switched epoxies and the last grip I did came out thinner than I would like. I was wondering if I can add epoxy and SC or do I need to remove everything and start over. 
    ‘thanks,

    My wife has been shooting a Legion in CO since last summer. Has three, and her primary training Legion just developed a crack in the frame at about 25,000 rounds. All factory ammo. Tried to reach Sig today, but couldn’t get through, after waiting 40 minutes on hold. She also broke four RTS2 optics over that period.

    A little JB Weld and it will be as good as new!😜

  4. Had a Romeo1 that had thousands of rounds through it that wouldn’t hold zero any more. Sig’s customer service had me send it in for eval. They sent me a brand new one.  Total turn around time was less than 3 weeks. Most of that was shipping time because I live in Alaska. 

  5. I’ve got the M&P, Legion and the X5.  The Smith trigger was awful. It now has an Apex trigger which is awesome.  I like the X5 and Legion way better than the M&P.  They fit my hand better.  I have small hands and thought the Smith would be a good fit but it seems too narrow for me.
    The Legion is relatively new and doesn’t have many rounds through it but my X5 is north of 12000 and it hasn’t skipped a beat. 

  6. Hey All,

    I have a new G5 34.  It is extremely hard to rack the slide and eject a round when there is a round in the chamber. The slide moves easily enough but the round does not want to release from the extractor as easily as it does on all my other Glocks.  That round wants to stay in there. The gun has been sent back to Glock and I had two armorers look at it at Glock days. Big Glock replaced the slide stop and recoil spring (🤔) and said all was well. The armorers agreed that it was tough but it’s because Glock has cut the slide differently now and there is a groove on the opposite side of the extractor that holds “the round better” than previous editions. The armorers think it will get better with more shooting.  When I first received the gun it would not eject the brass because it was caught underneath the groove and extractor. After almost 200 rounds of it being a single shot it runs like a champ. But it’s still extremely hard to eject a round by hand.  My question is has anyone else seen this in their new G5’s?   Glock says only the new updated 5s have the new groove so it isn’t all G5’s.  Thanks for your feedback.

    Has anyone seen holster wear like this?  This is from 4 weeks of dry fire.

    You must be forgetting to lube your holster. Try axle grease. 😜 Good to hear Sig is interested in fixing this.

    I am currently running grip tape, I am scared to use a dremel on my grip being it is $200+ to replace it

     

    I have the JB Weld, 60 and 80 grit silicone carbide and all the necessary tools.  I only lack courage 😟

    Practice on AR15 grips. They are cheap.

    Get a gi grip off yours or a friend's AR. Better yet get 2. Practice on them yourself and you'll do a great job on your own gun! Really.

     

    The shaping of the grip is much more of the "hard part" if you ask me. Actually doing the silicon is just careful prep work and not being a spaz.

    What rowdyB said is correct. It’s easy.  AR grips are cheap to practice on.  I’ve also used blocks of wood and pieces of pipe.  It’s like a school art project but for adults.

    I used to have a hard time finding or staying on the dot. Them I got advise to dry fire. 

     Since I have been dry firing I don't have the dot problems any more. 

     I try to practice the stuff that is hard for me to do accurately. Like weak hand  and around the left side of a barrier. 

    Also working on shooting faster. 

    This!  And try gripping the gun harder. 

  11. I have the one with the extended button on it. Love it except for loaded table starts. I haven’t perfected what technique I’m gonna use yet. It probably doesn’t help that I have the TXG grip. Right now I just grab it like the claw that picks up stuff animals in the machines at the supermarket.

    I have the TTI +2 and get the 23 in all 3 mags. Want the Grams because they have a little more wiggle room when reloading 

    I didn’t find any extra wiggle room with the Grams at all. I actually pulled it and am saving it for when it’s time to replace springs. 

  13. Any one know what a silicone carbide grip job will add to the weight of an X5 grip?  I just got my TXG module and wanted to silicone carbide it but I don’t want to be over for CO.
