Any update on how the plate and the Romeo3 are holding up? Thx.

Thanks again for the data.

Thanks. Does that plate move the SRO optic far enough back to keep brass from getting stuck under the hood?

Anyone running the above red dot on a plate on either a Gen 5 G34 or X5 Legion used in CO? How has it held up?

What plate and screws are considered the most bomb-proof to attach the SRO? Thanks

Was it a Gen 5 and was it new? Where did you find the gun?

Anyone ever weigh their Glock Store Double Diamond SS guide rod for the Gen 5 Glock 34?

The title should be Gen 5 G34. Don't know how to edit it.

For shooting factory 115gr, 124gr and 147gr ammo, whose recoil spring do you like and what #? Thanks

Never looked at the gun before so I have no idea if current prices are crazy or not. Thanks

I saw that and called them and they don't have it in stock and don't know when they will get more.

No luck in Bass Pro, Cabela's, Brownells, Optics Planet, Ben's store. Any other online places?

Thanks for the info.

Does your trigger have a hard wall and crisp break or is more of a rolling break?

I'm just starting in USPSA and don't know all the ins and outs but I was wondering are there any big national matches that have lots of GMs and Ms shooting the same COF in Carry Optics and Production? If so, has anyone looked at the overall speed/scoring differences for say the top 10 finishers in each division? Do CO folks shoot faster/more accurate on average than Production folks? In my limited experience, I've read/heard some legit people suggest that shooting a dot will allow you to be faster and more accurate no question. No one really ever provides any data to support that claim. I'm trying to figure out if there is any "data" to support that claim, hence let's see how different the speed/scoring is between what should be somewhat similar guns...maybe. Am I barking up the wrong tree looking for evidence? Yes, I know milage will vary for each person. But if you had a new shooter shoot 5,000 rounds with a striker gun with irons then shoot 5,000 rounds with a striker dot, on average would the person be faster and more accurate with a dot?

I'm considering getting a G34 Gen 5 to run in CO. What kind of pull weight on the trigger can one expect with some of the more popular drop-in kits? What about if you do the drop-in and polish some internals? Can one reasonably expect to achieve say a CZ Shadow pull and feel when the CZ is in single action mode?

Do any of you with an S2 have the Cajun reach reduction kit? When the hammer is down, my fingertip just barely reaches the trigger and is no bueno. If I bought a brand new S2 today, is there a way to get new grips that would allow me to get more of my trigger finger on the trigger before going the reach reduction route?

Looks like loctite...to keep screws, etc. from loosening.

Which Glock and why did you switch?

Interesting observation. Did you care about the weight differences between the 34, X5 and S2?

My first ever gun was a G19 Gen 4 that I got a while back for no real reason. Shot it less than 500 rounds in 7 years. Shot it again in Nov and for whatever reason, fell in love with shooting. Maybe too many Jack Ryan movies. Anyway I thought I'd want a steel gun with a red dot and I ended up buying the P226 Legion RX DA/SA. At the time I bought it, I didn't know enough about guns and basically overlooked whether the gun fit in my hand. I also thought I wouldn't care about a DA/SA action trigger since I can just chamber a round and always be in SA. I soon began eyeing 1911s and their triggers (and living in NJ, I don't care if a gun can hold 20 rounds since we can't have more than 10 rounds). I ended up getting a Wilson Combat CQB 4.25" in 9mm. I love the gun and the trigger and have shot about 4,000 rounds since Jan 2020 (including not being able to shoot it from mid March till a few weeks ago b/c of COVID). Over the past few months I've got pulled into the competitive shooting thing and actually did my first USPSA match in May and it was lots of fun but boy did I suck. So in just 9 months, my focus has shifted a few times as to what I want to do with a gun but I've decided my number one priority will be gun games. The next big decision is dot or no dot. I'm 58 and wear contacts so my vision isn't the best. I can shoot irons but the more I read and listen to, I think going the red dot route is the right call for me (actually anyone with vision issues). So now it's which gun. I'm going to sell the P226 and CQB. I've shot the CQB probably 8x more than the P226. I had to put in the short reach trigger in the P226 in order for me to comfortably reach the trigger for the DA pull. I'm not a fan of the DA pull but I haven't shot as much as the CQB. I have held the Shadow 2 and it fits my had pretty good but the trigger is too far for me in DA so I'd need to get it reduced. I haven't shot it and my LGS doesn't have one to rent. I'm considering the G34 MOS but my LGS doesn't have one to hold or shoot. A friend has the X5 Legion so I will shoot that soon. Going the G34 route, I avoid the whole DA pull and reach issues but it doesn't weigh as much as the Shadow or X5.

So which P320 is being used in CO?

When people say the X5, I assume they are referring to the X5 Legion. Is that correct? If so, the X5 Legion (at least on Sig's website) has a magwell which I thought was no bueno in CO. Am I mistaken? Thanks.

I'm a new shooter and just shot one USPSA match. I'm leaning towards the CO division given a red dot should be easier on my 58 year old eyes. Anyway, it seems the Shadow 2 is the second most popular gun in CO while the X5 Legion and the G34 are numbers 1 and 3. Sorry for the newbie question, but why do people choose a DA/SA gun instead of a striker fire? Does the Shadow 2 have that much going for it in other areas such that it "erases" any negatives to a DA/SA trigger? Or is a Shadow 2 DA/SA trigger not that much of a problem? It would seem to me that having the same trigger pull on each shot would be preferable to dealing with two different pulls. What am I missing? I've only been shooting since Nov 2019 and most of my time has been on a 1911. I have owned a G19 Gen 4 but have shot it less than 500 rounds and that was years ago. Basically I'm asking should I be considering a striker gun or a Shadow. I know the answer will be shoot both of them but I don't have access to shooting a S2. Thanks

Interesting....I'm not going to reload so I guess my options are slimmer.
