Typically people go lower spring rates than factory, especially on mouse fart loads. Edit im an idiot. I had it stuck in my head that 130 was min.

I wonder if anyone has tried "goop" Its this very sticky, flexible adhesive that kinda pulls off like those 3M command hooks. I use it on plastic and all kinds of other things, but its fairly easy to remove, clean and dries clear.

Im currently testing a few different loads from different commercial reloaders to see what works best for me. Im split between 124gr and 147gr. As I test things around with double taps and double tap timing I keep thinking that 124gr is the way to go. On my Gen 5 with a DPP and a TTI spring kit, a 13# ISMI spring is as light as im comfortable going for reliable lockup. That cycles the 124s and 147s fine and gives me pretty good timing with double taps. The 124s will cycle with a 15#, but the 147s will not. Im wondering if its worth sticking with the 147s for no perceivable reduction in recoil and less tuning headroom for recoil springs. Im just curious what everyone else does here with their glock setups. Especially gen 5s with a slideride optic.

I honestly contemplated soldering mine on one side. Imo that button/contact design isnt built for longevity because at least 3 of the legs need to be floating for the switch to work. Im curious to see what the new board revision looks like that "supposedly" fixes the button and dead DPP issues. Heard that was in the final testing phase at Leupold.

I just found out that the Gen 5 MOS FS versions arent on the prod list either. That is so stupid.

I was pretty impressed with the inner milling of the slide on my Gen 5. They did some neat stuff to keep the weight down but structural integrity high. Depending on what you want or plan to do, the TTI springs make the trigger REALLY nice. The TTI/stock (-) connector isnt bad if you like a rolling break, Ive settled on the dot connector for my preferred trigger feel with more of a wall.

Its a standard cage pushed through a hole cut in a ballcap brim with a bolt as a retaining device. I asked him on his YT channel a while back

Great suggestions, thanks guys.

So this is kinda funny, I think recognize that stage. Was this the April match at Pittcairn Monroeville Sportsmans Club in PA?

Do any of you have anything you use to keep the sun off your neck? I burn really easily even with sunscreen, so Ive been hunting for a brimmed hat of sorts, but it just dawned on me that a simple white towel or something around my neck would help too. What do you guys use?

Shot a morning match yesterday I felt pretty good about it, totally missed a target on one stage. (shot at the wrong target through the port) Footwork was better, shooting on the move was good. Still placed 3rd in CO and did a 63% on the classifier (it was an easy one though) Im having an extremely hard time loosening my accuracy standards to go faster, not that im super slow, but I need to go faster. I also feel like my subconscious fundamentals need work, muscle memory of how hard to grip is just too weak. Trigger control seems to slip up occasionally too.

I just got 3x 21rd pmags. They're pretty nice. They have 3 witness holes and drop pretty easily. They also lock the slide back.

In case anyone is wondering, the oem #5 connector tightens up the creep and solidifies the wall. It gets a bit too heavy imo with a 4.5# striker spring. Pretty significant increase over a dot. Sticking with the dot connector.

I found it on Amazon. It's listed as pinewood derby car weights

I picked up a pair of Asics Gel Venture 6's for $40 at a local Asics outlet. They seem good so far, no complaints.

I shot my P10C in USPSA Production. I had to grind down the mag basepads so they didnt pinch my pinky. Ran fine. Mag release is still tough to actuate and ive reprofiled it, polished it and grease it regularly. NONE of my other pistols have had releases that were this stiff, NONE of them. They were all 20-40% more expensive though. Springfields get so much hate, but after looking inside a CZ, they visually look better built and everything is smooth, trigger is meh out of the box though. The Shield was ok, nothing terrible or great there. I dont know why or how, but my G34.5 is a tack driver out to the 30 yards im capable of freehanding. I initially swapped to a TTI GM kit & connector, but the rolling break feels so incredibly long and slow. The dot connector feels VERY similar to my P10C, and im going to try a standard #5 connector tonight. I just find it comical that I always said id never own a Glock, but here we are.

Saving this thread.

This. It was always unreliable for me and I hated not having a smooth, reliable slide release. Poorly designed and executed controls can break someones experience shooting anything.

I have about 3k through my P10C. It never loosened up so I helped it with some 800-2k grit. I run a #18 spring that loosened it up a little as well. I almost bought the CZC release, but for $90 ill weld and shape a tab onto the release. For the record, I shoot a Gen 5 G34 now and honestly I really enjoy it. Ive got the trigger near the p10C (with HBI), for not a whole lot of money too.

To be fair, this is exactly what I was thinking. I know a 2011 is the way to go, but 5-6k is a tough pill to swallow (especially shooting .40). I fully intend on sticking to Carry Optics for a while, but at some point I may want to try Major scoring with a dot. and a Glock build seems to be the most inexpensive way to go. The only issue would be the ammo, but finding Maj PF 40 is much easier and cheaper than Major PF 9mm. It will just be a 180gr load and not a 135/155gr with more powder load.

Subbing to this, investigating a .40 Open Glock running 180gr rounds from Atlanta Arms, Fenix and Angelfire. I have no interest in reloading at this time. Edit: This is sounding more and more like a waste of time.

Eh, im happy leaving the 170s to Open.

Its not so much that Id prefer it over Limited, Im just taking a liking to running a dot. Just curious, do you specifically load to minor? Most factory 180gr ive seen is at ~175pf

I didnt want to deal with re loctiting a retention screw so I did the uncaptured tungsten Double Diamond from Glockstore. It uses ISMI springs. They have a cheaper Stainless one as well.

Im just curious if anyone here runs a Glock platform in Open or Limited major. I love CO so far but Major scoring is tempting. I have no intentions on doing anything for a while, but the thought of running something like a Carver Custom Glock in Open intrigues me. Heck even going cheap and doing a basic 35 setup with a ported barrel and a slide ride optic might be fun.
