Looks for Target

Looks for Target (4/11)

  1. Do you ever get a chance to shoot outdoor matches? They are so much more pleasant. And challenging.
  2. That is a weird trigger pull. Why are you tapping the trigger?
  3. Ummm, has USPA Production gone to 15 rounds and I missed it?
  4. So, I just found out (at age 57) that I have aphantasia. If you don't care to Google it, that means I don't "see" images when I close my eyes and think of stuff. For example, when I think of a chair, I don't "see" a chair in my mind, just thoughts of what a chair looks like, not the image of one. And now I know not to beat myself up on not visualizing my run prior to shooting it. I can't! I can think of where I need to go, what to shoot, when to reload. But, I can't "see" it. I thought I was just not locking it in and now I know to stop thinking I'm a slacker and just use what I can and shoot. This is supposedly a rare condition, but if you have found yourself, like me, unable to visualize a stage, Google aphantasia and take a two second test. I had no idea I wasn't capable of "seeing" things until today!

    Thanks! The plain black looks like a winner.

    wide rear sights

    Ok, thanks for pointing this out. Before posting the question here, had checked out the Beretta site sights (see what I did there?) and was frustrated that they never show the sight mounted on a gun or provide measurements. But, after your post I dug deeper and read the reviews. There is one wider, about as wide as can be done because of the safety, clearing the safety by 0.025". This one - https://www.beretta.com/en-us/gun-accessories/handguns/sights/beretta-92-96-target-adjustable-rear-sight/. So, there is that. But, this doesn't get me into CZ territory, only adding 2 mm per side. Which, I now realize is the best I can get, with the safety poking up. So, final answer, just get used to the Beretta. Thanks for the advice, it was worth a shot.

    wide rear sights

    I'm sorry. I wasn't clear. I want the extra width of the sight to be the outside, not a wider notch. I like how a wider sight really helps me target focus.
  9. I'm looking for wide rear sights for my Beretta 92. I'm competing with a CZ 75 SP 01 with a wide Dawson rear and I don't seem to be able to find how wide Beretta rear sights can be. Dawson doesn't show a rear sight for them. My eye is kinda spoiled for that big black chunk of a rear on my CZ and I'm looking to recreate that.
  10. As a side note, I only found this out when my safety broke. Ebay has nothing, so if anyone has any ideas about a replacement safety lever, I'd love to get them. Thanks!
  11. I just bought a used Tanfo TA90 Excam import model for $300 and found a way to convert it to decocker only. It has the slide mounted safety/decocker lever and if you remove the Firing Pin Safety Plunger (14.2) and Firing Pin Safety Spring (14.3) of the Firing Pin Safety (14.1), it functions exactly like a Berretta 92 G model. It will decock the gun and the safety lever will pop back up to Fire, never getting stuck on Safe.
  12. Hammer pin slipped out, sounds like. Happened to me.
  13. Oh, OK. You are marketing some "new" trigger to fix a 1911's "problems". Got you, fam.
  14. Umm, you do know how good 1911 triggers can be, right?
