Yeah the frame weight holster thing I’ve been frustrated with since I got it and my red eye holster in...after finding out the new 3 piece frame weight doesn’t fit that holster I was not happy, so I took a heat gun and amazingly I got it to work with a little bit of widening. Your right though if you come up the wrong way it’ll bind in a hurry.

Alright I’m looking to make the switch from minor to major. I do very well in limited minor hanging with guys up top shooting major but I know at major matches shooting major will help a lot. But here’s where I am stuck. im looking at a Glock 22 or Glock 35 at the moment I shoot a gen 5 34 with a lot of trigger work, Kkm barrel, Dawson sights, Dawson magwell and SJC frame weight. If i go glock 22 I’m gonna do a Taylor freelance sight block, lone wolff barrel or a Kkm, Dawson sights, tungsten guide rod trigger work and a heavy magwell with a SJC frame weight. If I do this I’m gonna have to buy an open holster which is kinda hard with me being left handed not many to choose from if I go 35 I’m only doing Dawson sights, trigger work, heavy magwell, sjc frame weight, tungsten guide rod. If I do this I can run the holster I have now. looking at gen 3 models. Whats the pros and cons here. I’m sure I’m bout to get an earful shooting minor in limited lol

Awesome. Guess I was lookin at right stuff cause I was stuck between both items. Thanks guys

Would you say it’s equivalent to 60 grit sandpaper?

What’s everybody using grit wise? And is there a specific brand that is a definite go to? Been looking around and reading and I’m not finding much info except on how to apply it

Dad runs a gen 3 17 with factory spring on a 128gr bullet with a delta pro and does just as good as guys with cz that have been cut and other expensive guns. Also with some time and work you can get the gen 3 trigger down to 2lb with a lot polish and springs. gen 5 trigger isn’t bad but it took us longer to get it down to 2.5lb than any other generation Glock. Its all about what your confident in.

Good choice, I have them on my 34 and have had 0 issues out of them very solid sights

I had a set of Dawson non co witness on the 17 I had and they are spot on, plus Dawson stands behind his products which is a huge plus.

I never noticed the MOS doesn’t have the cut out in the front. I’ve got a gen 5 34 and love mine, a lot of time spent getting it where I want it but definitely cheaper than CZ and other guns to work on. I just can’t wait till they really start pumpin our aftermarket parts like they did for the gen 3

It all really depends on what your shooting, what division? IDPA? Uspsa?

Alright was just curious cause I’m gettin tired of replacing grip tape. Or it coming loose, plus the carbide has a lot cleaner look

Just curios if anybody knows how IDPA feels about the silicone carbide grip that a lot of people are doing now. Is it legal? I shoot ESP but I got a feeling it’s frowned upon even in ESP. also, what’s everybody take on the carbide grip pros and cons?

Wouldn’t know that the thread pitch is by any chance do you?

I’m good on the belt then. What about the mag carriers?

This year I’m stepping up to the plate and shooting a couple big matches this year and and updating my gear. From my understanding you can run a outer belt as long as it’s not thicker than 5/16 and isn’t wider 1 3/4 and fits through belt loops and allows me to pass the 3/4 Dow test? Also the cr speed mag carriers are legal as long as I replace the adjustment screw with something that requires a tool. Just making sure what I’m gonna be using is 100% legal with no questions

I’ve done a lot of searching for recoil springs for the gen 5 34 and I’m only coming up with ISMI, im running a taran tactical guide rod specifically for the gen 5 34 but the spring it comes with is to strong for me. Does anybody know if the 5” 1911 springs will work fine? I’m wanting a 10lb and ISMI only has 11lb and I’m not big on cutting and stretching springs
