Sees Sights (6/11)

  1. I have a 2011 I’ve been working on and I would like to have the frame DLC when I’m done can someone recommend a good company to go with?
  2. Looking to have some front cocking serrations to my single stack gun. Anyone have a good recommendation for someone to do the work?
  3. Helping a friend who is starting to do USPSA setup their Glock. Plan on running in carry optics and had a bunch of stock gen 5 Glock 17 (17 rounds) mags. I’ve always shot single stack or 2011s so not as familiar with Glock stuff. I did run a CZ SP01 in CO for a little bit and used a mix of Henning and TTI base pads. That along with my Shadow Systems MR920 that has some TTI extensions on the Glock 19’ish mags. Is there a company that produces the best for Glock? If not my thought is to recommend going with Henning basepads. I’ve seen Taylor Freelance on some local shooters as well but I don’t have any experience with them. One local Glock shooter had (2) 24 round MBX Glock mags then reloads to standard y extended mags. what would you recommend for a friend? (If you were in my shoes)
  4. The saying it’s the Indian not the arrow is an apt one. I often recommend for new and starting shooters to buy less expensive guns and ammo over more expensive guns. Training and experience will win out over most things. If funds aren’t an issue sure buy whatever and later after you have experience if you want a nicer gun sure
  5. move had opposite experience. My Athena has run great has had no issues but for I knocked the front sight loose. I called them got an answer and they sent me an RMA return label that day. Shipped them the slide and had the gun up and running the end of the next week. I also have an older Nemesis and it’s run well for 10k+ rounds with only having an extractor issue a few thousand rounds back. I submitted a ticket on a Saturday for an rma on Monday and gun back about a week later. my best friend shoots a MPA ds9, it’s the only one I’ve seen in person (so sample size of one). I would say the fit and finish is on par but likely slightly better than my Staccato P but short of my Athena. He did have issues using Staccato/STI mags MBX have been fine and I’ve loaned him a few of my atlas mags last week but no issues yet. I’ve recently met the local master gunsmith that focuses on 2011s (mostly open guns) … I’ve shot a few of his guns and they are great. If I met him before getting ether of my Atlas guns not sure I would have gone the Atlas route though I have no issues with ether Atlas guns but could have gotten similar gun but custom for less… but warrant or possible more issues hard to say. Custom can sometimes be finicky. depends on the route you want to go and if you have a local builder. If you want hassle free and good customer service I can’t recommend Atlas enough. If you want a project and don’t mind troubleshooting and tinkering. Start with a Prodigy or Sraccato and build up what you want. I shot an STI Hawk for IDPA for a long while then moved to a Staccato P till I got my Atlas. It’s a great shooting gun and works well for that sport. I mainly shoot USPSA now thoigh
  6. I generally like the idea of lighting the intruder not myself.
  7. So normally I've always done pistol and ar home defense setups, but decided to build up a Beretta 1301 Tactical as well. I've swapped out the hand guard to be able to mount MLok and trying to decide on what I want to do for a light. my ARs are ether Cloud Defense or Surefire with fairly bright hotspots and distant throws... but the shotgun is a different weapon system. Should I do a more "floody" type light? or stick with a bright high candela light to blind? I do like running a pressure pad or Unity Hotbutton but not against a taillight button. Since I'm fairly new to "tactical" shotguns with most of my experience in over/unders for Trap and Skeet figured I would ask for some recommendations or advice. My first inclination is to just run a similar setup as to what I do with my rifles... but wasn't sure if that is the "right" call. Also wasn't sure if one light is better than others for a shotgun due to the amount of abuse recoil will cause on it over a 556 rifle. Thank you in advance.
  8. Doesn’t feel heavy at all in my opinion feels nice a rigid.
  9. I think it did I've since switched it to a Henning Hanger on a dedicated belt it was more secure and worked better. https://imgur.com/a/GVqD3DE
  10. Ya its not really needed as they do drop free easy, but I kind of like the extra weight when doing loading.
  11. I have 2 brass basepads for my CZ mags and like them. I've done some searches and can't seem to find anyone who makes them for 2011 mags. I know they aren't "needed" but thought might be neat to try them if I could find some to buy. Anyone know of any?
  12. A little bit of work and you can make the Henning Hanger work with the Ghost Hydra. https://imgur.com/a/GVqD3DE
  13. I posted this I think a while back, but you can actually use the Henning Hanger with the Ghost Hydra with 1 simple modification.n Take a look at the photos and video below: https://imgur.com/a/GVqD3DE You have to remove the old Ghost hanger and then mark and drill one hole through the body of the hanger and use a bolt with a nut to secure it but works just fine. Super rock steady compared to the kind of floppy normal Ghost mount. I haven't tested the Odin thumb rest but I know it works with the Align and the Gas peddle so I assume Odin one works fine.
  14. the P+ I didn’t like the mounting on it at all. So did a QLS fork mod.
  15. Thanks the upper came off this lower and ran fine for 1800’ish rounds together. I would just be putting a new hand guard and barrel on the upper
