Still haven't had a chance to try anything - all ranges are closed - will get at least a 6 moa - Vortex Venom is available with 6 moa but not many around The Holsun 507 & 508 have the large ring & small dot in same unit - worth checking out

Thinking of getting RD for G34 gen 5 & CZP10F OR. . Some folks recommend 6 moa for pistol USPSA since targets are usually 25yds and closer I looked around at local shops no 6's to be found of any manufacturer. I was trying to find Vortex Venom , even on line it's not so common ? is it worth the effort , I know it's personal. I'm over 60 so vision has been better. Lol Figured dot may be the way to go , I did lots of searching and larger dots seem to be gaining popularity with shooters that have been using 2-3 moa. Maybe they're just getting older

Thanks , will look into Jager

Is there any other option for mounting a red dot on the SP01 beside cutting slide ? thought I heard of using rear sight dove tail slot ?

I'd roll with a heavier guide rod and switch springs ... But there doesn't seem to be a plug n play Rod for the gen 5. 34 ?

Thanks , so I should leave stock springs for now ? where / what tungsten rod for gen 5 - it looks like its a 2pc instead of just rod

I shot a Shadow 2 today , it is way different than my Glock 34 for sure ! The double action wasn't that bad , the single action is wicked !! Holy crap not sure if I had an AD or a super fast double tap that is a LIGHT trigger , demands much respect I practiced manually decocking many times and had no issues but can see the concerns. Just need to pay 100% attention and do not nonchalant it

I understand the S2 has many refinements , just wondering for me as a newbie Should start with the SP01 until I can really appreciate the S2. Or just jump into the deep water. Lol

Couple of things I' m new to practical shooting Can the 01 T be used in idpa & Uspsa. Production is the SP01 Tactical tournament worthy ( as is. Stock no mods ) how does compare to the popular Shadow 2 I like the idea of the decocker when "making ready " plus it just feels so good in hand thanks

Just ordered some Dawson sights & Talon grips , pretty basic stuff. Wondering if there's any value in changing the guide to tungsten & / or changing recoil spring . Any other ideas are welcome

no idea , it was ordered from the distributor , took a few days to get . Bought a plug - no problem -

Thanks Sarge - I like the presentation - T.REX ARMS has some good videos - guy is down to earth . I've worked on most of these things and I guess you can work on recoil management & trigger control for years !! I'm really just starting out at an older age so no doubt this range time practice would be very productive

Got a gen 5 mos / FS, last week - took a range session or 2 to get used to it - we're getting along very well so far Can't see any advantage in the previous generations.. gen 5 are supposed to have better triggers , better barrels , mos , FS , & probably other features I'm not aware of I thought they didn't have the notch in mag well any more but it's there - are there plugs for it ?

I see all these great drills like Bill drill , El Presidente. Etc. but no can do at my public range. Any suggestions that will help towards gun skill proficiency is welcome. I'm not even sure if drawing from holster to shoot is allowed ! I'll practice drawing and reloads at home ( gun cleared and empty mags of course). Maybe try a timer to track progress but really like something to work on live fire at range

It's decided. Went with Ben Stoeger Comp package. Looking forward to getting it and practicing thanks for the advice

Not sure the glock is for me , hard to index , grip is just ok , very light . This is compared to my Kimber full size 1911 I can give it time and practice for sure but hate to invest time when there may be a more suitable gun I've been able to handle a few other options Walther Q5 match polymer , Sig p320 legion, HK VP9 , Shadow 2. etc. handling is one thing but getting to shoot not an option . The Shadow 2 is the best fit of these for my hands - probably because it feels similar to my 1911

Had some range time today , tried from resting position on top of range bag - first shot dead center. So. I suck lol no doubt my trigger control needs lots of work. Just surprised at the consistency of being left. Not always low but just left. Will be at it tomorrow with a very experienced shooter.

Any one use a laser to assist dry fire training. I've seen some that insert in chamber. Others on rail. Seems to be options for laser sensitive targets as well

Good idea ! , Don't know why I didn't try off a rest ?

I just ran 150 round through my New 34 gen 5 and was off to the left at 10 yards about 2-3 " . OK , I know left [ low ] is probably poor trigger . I am trying to use more left hand to control recoil up high etc and thought that might contribute . Seems like I shoot 45 better at this point with slow fire . figured the 9mm would be better with recoil and $$ ammo Used a friends Walther last week and seemed better ? should I give it more time ?, have the sights checked ? or adjust aim point ?

Appreciate the advice . I was looking at the Ben Stoeger packages - seems like a good option - [ all good gear ] In my old age I've subscribed to the "buy once , cry once !" theory with many things [ within reason ] I'm in Massapequa park [ last town in Nassau- Before Suffolk] . Freeport has a Club with Range & has some matches - waiting for the sign up .

I've seen many that suggest start with what you have before buying "competition " rig. Not sure I want to go that route I'm willing to spend a few bucks & don't see the sense in using a regular leather belt and a cheap holster etc. I can understand if your under financial constraints but in looking around it seems $200 -300 gets a good rig I'm going to use my Glock 34 G5 and will need belt , holster, mag pouch , This will be for USPSA production . i know I'm a complete newbie but if I need to practice it makes sense to have good solid tools At my age it's more a necessity than luxury . Never having drawn a pistol from hip will take lots of reps and figured that in itself is reason to have a good set up that doesn't need to be changed any time soon I live in an anti gun state (NY) and most if practice will be dry fire and indoor ranges. Hoping to find some outdoor facilities here on Long Island soon thanks in advance for any suggestions
