    Timers

    in Gear & Accessories

    Posted

    Hello,

    I've read the timer thread.

    Can someone give a list of timers and price ranges? I'd love a $200 timer if they weren’t $200.

    I'm going to use it at the range, but would like something that can help me dry fire practice as well.

    Can you guys give examples of features that would make me want to pay 200 bucks?

    Falling Casing Setting Off Round On The Bench

    in Hell, I Was There

    Posted

    I've heard one story like this, but then witnessed it recently. I'm kind of curious if this is a one in a million thing, or if other people have seen this.

    Guy next to me at the range is shooting with an open box of .40 on the table. Casing exits the pistol, bounces off the wall of the booth, off the ceiling, lands on the primer of one of the rounds in the box on the table.

    Round indents the table and comes to rest on the floor about a foot away. Styrofoam box gets blasted in half with pieces all over the table. Casing ruptures and fires straight up into the ceiling breaking through the plastic cover around the light and breaks the florescent bulb. Nobody was hurt, but wow was the look on his face priceless.

    I keep my ammo covered when I shoot now. ;)

    Gun Quotes From Movies

    I know these aren't just from movies, but they're some of my favorites nonetheless. I've collected a bunch of similar quotes.

    "Perhaps the meek shall inherit the Earth, but they'll do it in very small plots . . . about 6' by 3'."

    - Robert A. Heinlein

    I like:

    "Do this. Don't do that. Stay back in line. Where's tax receipt? Fill out form. Let's see license. Submit six copies. Exit only. No left turn. No right turn. Queue up and pay fine. Take back and get stamped. Drop dead— but first get permit." -Robert Heinlein

    Legal For Production?

    in USPSA/IPSC Rules

    Posted

    I would say that the 17 mags are not allowed in the 19 since they, in effect, would be an extended base pad.

    The grip tape, I'm also not sure on. I know under IPSC rules they were very strict about where the tape was and was not. They were also picky that it not change the shape of the grip. If you're planning to change the shape of the grip with the tape, like it sounds you're planning you're probably not legal.

    Thanks for all the help guys. #1 is my only major concern. The others are just a bonus.

    Now I just need to find a nice cheap Glock 17 Gen 1.

    Legal For Production?

    in USPSA/IPSC Rules

    Posted · Edited by Mathew

    Hello and thanks for looking.

    I'm interested in doing some of the following things to my Glock and I want to make sure they are legal for production before I do them.

    1. Can I add a extended mag release to a G19 or G17?

    2. Can I add an extended slide lock to a G19 or G17?

    3. Can I modify my trigger at all? Can I drop in a trigger setup like the one from http://www.triggerkit.com?

    4. Can I use 17 round magazines while shooitng a G19?

    5. I know I can add grip tape to my frame, is there any limit to how much I can layer? Say if I wanted to add 3 or 4 layers to the bottom to force my hand up on the grip?

    6. Are fiber optic sights legal?

    7. Can I use a Plug in the bottom of the frame like this one? http://www.gunaccessories.com/GlockAccesso...aPlug/index.asp

    8. What is the air speed velocity of an un-laden swallow?

    Thanks!
