  1. I'd say that's a pretty solid deal, especially depending on what your state sales tax is. Haven't seen brand new ones any cheaper.
  2. Unfortunately without doing anything radical, your not able to add much (at least with a Gen 4 G17 lower). The best combination I got was tungsten putty with a modified (dremeled) Carver Custom brass magwell weight but even that only added about 2.7 oz. That's just to the frame itself but you can certainly try to add some weight on the magazines as well.

    Anyone else experiencing issues like AZ123456? I have a backorder in but haven't heard a lot about these lately.
  4. Thanks all! Just like everyone else has mentioned I received incredibly fast and attentive feedback when I asked questions of GX. So much so, that I went ahead and put in an order. Now just playing the waiting game...
  5. If you can get your hands on some, I'd suggest Speer Lawman 115. It's listed at 1200 fps so it is on the stouter side of factory offerings but the biggest bonus is the Total Metal Jacket (TMJ) bullet, making keeping the comp clean much easier than other FMJ offerings.
  6. Incredible work, definitely following for results!
  7. I think sub- $500 will be the norm but I don't think it will consistently be around $400. The RMR Type 2s still command mid-upper 400s without any sales.
  8. Why not? What is your long term plan for shooting? Are you trying to win a National Championship, get sponsors, appear on the cover of Front Sight like Christian Sailer? If your goal is to hit the range, have fun, improve your proficiency with firearms and be safe, it doesn't matter. Shoot what you have, have fun, and quit worrying. There was recently an enlightening article on FOMO's (Fear of Missing Out) sinister cousin, FOBO (Fear of a Better Option), otherwise known as "analysis paralysis". That appears to be what might be at play here, and I'm sure has been experienced by many people on this forum (myself included); always chasing a new gun or gear in the hopes it will instantly improve performance. Based on your many topics on the subject, shoot whatever you currently own (G22, G17, M&P) that you feel YOU perform best with for all of next season and stick with ONE division. Analyze your results at the end of year, or post them on here for others to comment, and then take an objective and dispassionate view of where YOU feel like you can/want to improve. Until then, just get out and shoot; all of the other stuff is not worth the mental drain.
  9. Looking to take advantage of a Black Friday sale and trying to decide between 2 companies; Red Hill Tactical and GX Products. GX has the thickness of their materials listed on the side but RHT does not. Does anyone know if one is thicker than the other? Does that really make a difference on a carry optics gun? Thanks in advance.
  10. The 10 rounders have a liner of sorts inside the magazine body which restricts how many rounds can fit. Better off to sell them and just buy new standard magazines.
  11. They didn't make you send in the whole pistol? That seems much different than what everyone else has reported.
  12. Hopefully links to other forums are kosher but here's some discussion from around the time I was shooting them. I, like others, found that the thicker cup of the magnum primer helped reduce the occurrence of pierced primers. May not be a concern for you at all depending on your application. http://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/wolf-small-rifle-magnum-primers.3798723/
  13. I used to shoot 25.5 grains Varget under the 69s for the 200 yard stages of an Across the Course (Highpower) match. This was in a 20", 7.7 twist barrel. More accurate for me than 75s or 77s but did not buck the wind as well. I also used Wolf Small Rifle Magnum primers but I don't know if those are even available anymore.
  14. Thanks all, I appreciate it. Other than the striker return spring or the slide stop, any parts seem to fail more often?
  15. Looking to possibly make the jump from Glock to Sig for my competition shooting platform and specifically interested in the P320 X-Five (either original or Legion). While I don't shoot a ton of rounds per year, I am always concerned with maintaining my equipment and for me that includes spares and preventative maintenance. I have a pretty solid stockpile of Glock replacement parts as they are widely available but I don't see much for the X-Fives on the market. Can anyone point to a good source of spare parts or provide suggested replacement schedules from Sig on these models?
  16. Probably not a smart way to go about it, but good luck to you!

    Thanks I appreciate it! How's everyone liking theirs so far?

    Apologies if I missed this but what footprint is the R1Pro supposed to fit? Any of the pre-existing ones? Looking to potentially have a Glock slide milled for one.
  19. I thought I recall a discussion that Federal Syntech 124 (not the USPSA variety) was loaded pretty strong as they were trying to reach a certain pressure vs. reaching a certain velocity.
  20. Does he have to make major PF? I understand that in order to take advantage of major scoring he would, but is there some compelling reason why he has to? In my opinion I would find a minor load that works and just let him shoot. As he continues to mature then you can look at Major but no sense in beating him or the gun up (as I'm sure there will be plenty of folks to poo-poo 9 Major out of a Polymer gun) if there is no benefit.
  21. Is there a separate trigger job only or is the trigger job from the Sig Armorer included in his Competition Level Action job?
  22. I could be wrong but I don't know any gun manufacturer (other than Walther) that lets you return a firearm. Now granted, buying custom vs. buying off the shelf is different but as stated previously, Phoenix is making a lot of the parts that other manufacturers have on their pistols. It probably wouldn't be a big stretch to find someone with the grip or frame etc. and see how they feel before completely writing it off.
