    Springfield Saint Victor PCC is fantastic for <$1200. If I was getting my first PCC all over again, then that's what I would buy. Maintenance is easy as it's direct blowback and reliability should be better than its Glock counterparts due to the way the rounds feed. This is coming from a person who started with a JP GMR-15.

     

    Say my PCC only budget is roughly $2500. Would you still recommend that? I have a bad habit of buying "budget minded" things, regretting my purchases and then buying what I wanted in the first place.

  2. I ran a G34.5 for a while and my favorite, most accurate trigger was a TTI/Wolf 4.5# striker spring and a dot connector. I ended picking up a G19.5 a few weeks ago and went with a Wolff #5 and the factory dot connector. Makes a pretty nice trigger in Glock land for my tastes. 

     

    The only thing I'd consider is a JohnnyGlock kit because he polishes the hell out of everything and runs a tuned Lone Wolf connector with a steeper angle for more of a "wall" similar to a + connector.

    Who’s this Reddit guy you speak of?

    Alot has happened in 3 years. 

     

    Amarok tactical ended up ghosting all customers and ignoring emails. GunnerXShooting should still be around, I believe they still make the locking turnstyle holsters

  4. If anyone is interested, im getting ready to post up a Gen 5 34 CO setup in the classifieds in a day or so.

     

    Gen 5 Glock 34 FS MOS - stock sights

    TTI GM kit

    Uninstalled Ghost Tac mag release and maritime spring cups.

    Double Diamond Tungsten guide rod with 13 + 15 springs

    Assorted trigger connectors

    3 factory mags with TTI +5/6 baseplates + spare parts and extra springs

    2x Leupold DPP 2.5 MOA

    BSPS BOSS hanger + 2 layer Amarok tactical comp holster.

    Also have a FAT wrench and tool steel Wiha bits for the optic bolts if requested

     

    Probably going to list it around $1150 net to get a quick sale before my surgery.

     

    PM me if interested.

     

     

  5. I usually download mine to 22, but I can get a 23rd round in all 3 of my extensions by hand. Cant use the magloader. 

     

    Honestly though, I hate shooting with no room for shot calling/make ups.

    I’ve tried a lot of different triggers, connectors, you name it. TTI, Johnny Glock, ghost, Zev, and a few others. You have to decide what you like as there’s something good and bad about all of them. I can tell you I would not spend the money on a trigger set up. You can get pretty good results from watching Johnny Glocks you tube videos, and changing parts.  He should charge for the info he gives away. If you want a rolling break nothing is better than a TTI connector, what I didn’t like about it was it didn’t break  until you were almost to the end of travel, but reset was short. The most crisp break was the Glock 5.5 connector, you hit a wall and then break, but of course now your up to about 4 to 5 lbs. after years of shooting a Glock34 gen3 I’ve come complete circle. The best connector IMHO, is the Glock dot. You have a wall if you want, but not so much that you can’t pull smooth right through it. On hard, and long shots you can pull to the wall and have a pretty nice break. On close stuff just pull through. I have the same pull weight as a minus connector, 3lbs. This is with a standard trigger spring, and a 4.5 striker spring. Good luck. Oh yeah the best smooth connector after TTI is the Glock   Minus. When it comes to connectors GlockKnows what their doing.        

    Its funny you should say that. I have all of the OEM Glock connectors and experienced the same thing. I keep flip flopping between the TTI and the dot.

  7. Supposedly the TRS is more resistant to breaking in the gen 5 trigger housing, but I dont know anyone who actually broke a TRS in a Glock.

     

    Either way, I still agree with everything said here. Nothing worth upgrading if youre comfortable on a gen 3.

    I am also partial to Oakley’s.  I have a pair of FLAK and FLAK 2.0, with multiple lens selections including PRIZM. So far the PRIZM lenses are my favorite.  

     

    I feel the adjustability of the Rudy Rydons helps when shooting as I can adjust them to sit higher on my nose to allow better breathing than my Oakley’s. 

     

    Are they impact resistant? I didnt see any verbage on their site that they were, but maybe I overlooked it.

  9. Well, after 3 weeks of not sending a round downrange I shot a club match on Saturday, 5 stages + classy. 3rd match in CO, 6th match this year/ever.

    My allergies were freaking out and were super distracting, but it ended up being one of the best matches ive shot to date. I was listening to Steve Anderson on my way there and I unintentionally embraced the "think about nothing during your run" technique.

    Everything felt good, runs were smooth, stage plans worked, gun ran great.

    Came in 24th out of 87, 3 positions behind my class leader. (Paper A)

    2nd in Carry Optics with a few division stage wins.

     

    I feel like my movement is so sluggish, but its definitely improving.

    I’m running the exact same setup. I too couldn’t get the lockup I wanted with an 11 lb ismi spring. I’m using a 13 lb now. 

     

    I personally don't think there's any benefit of 147's over.124's. 

     

    I was able to get .15-.18 splits at 10 Yds with all A's. 

     

     

     

    Thats good to know. 124s are $15 cheaper a 1000 too from my vendor haha. I still need to play around with it, but its good to know that its possible. I know I need practice.

    Maybe I'm missing something?

    My gen 5 34 will shoot 147 gr with a 13 lb recoil spring. I'm using an uncaptured tungsten.  

     

    As far as which to use, I'd say use what you like better, as long as it works. 

     

    I don't feel it matters or that 147 are flatter or whatever campared to 124's. 

     

    I shot both side by side this weekend. I can't feel much of a difference. 

     

    As for double taps, a lot more than bullet and spring weights come into play. I say that because some think it’s all about bullets. When it’s probably more about technique. 

     

     

    I need some more range time to make a decision on the load. Ive ran 124s since I started a year ago, and subjectively I see little difference between them and the 147s. 

     

    I know that its mostly technique and timing, I was asking more if it was worth it running the 147s at the edge of spring weights that I can use. 

    With the 11lb spring and double diamond tungsten rod/adapter, I fail the vertical lockup test with my DPP and 4.5# striker spring.

    my gen 5 34 shoots 147's with the completely stock recoil set up. And with 14 and 13 pound springs.

     

    Do you have an optic?

    What are you doing with this gun?

     

     

    USPSA Carry Optics

    Not to derail this but since its carry optics and about recoil springs maybe someone can answer a similar question. With carry optics, wouldn't you want to go with a heavier recoil spring? Wouldn't you want to " short stroke " the slide so to speak like in PCC. So wouldn't running a heavier spring weight, say a 17 or 20 pound give you less dot movement? Help me out here.

     

     

    min PF loaded 147s wont cycle on a 15# spring let alone the factory 17#

     

    Edit, I completely overlooked the other thread in this forum. I was more asking if it made sense to stick with 124gr loads since I dont have as many spring options with the 147s.
