I also have 2 JP Rifle uppers. The comp on one has the additional port on the right side. The other does not. I did notice the one with the additional port moving less. I was curious if there some new design change that some comp manufacturers were doing to get better performance after noticing the same change on the surefire comps.

Not sure what the performance difference is between the two. I know the MB556K is supposed fit the suppressor but I have not interest in that. Biggest difference I can see is that on the procomp, there is an additional port on the right side (looking at it from the top view) that does not exist on the MB556K. So is there a difference in recoil between the two? Thanks.

I received my shipment from Powder Valley last week after waiting 6 weeks on back order. They're no longer taking back orders ...

I would not compare too much between Moly and Jacketed bullets. Jacketed beats Moly hands down but they are more $$$ to shoot. I generally keep apples to apples and oranges to oranges. When I do use Moly, I like the way BBI performs. I've used Bear Creeks but the 147's tend to keyhole out of my Glock. So I go with the Black Bullets Int's 147's whenever I go to a heavier bullet. The BBI bullets also have more of a curvature to the bullet profile than the BC's which seem to help with lead fowling (again out of my Glock 34).

Out here in Kalif, $30 - 35 is not uncommon. It's not necessarily the shooting club but the guy who managages the property. But that high price does seem to be uncommon outside of this state.

Sounds a lot like Win231. Kinda flaky type of powder.

The stage design really did favor the 2 extra rounds available in minor.. Many stages rewarded shooting arrays of 8 and 9 shots that included swingers and small plates or popers at distance.. Cheers, Los And this is the reason I going to convert one of my other .45s to 9mm (and makes a nice home project for me). Garret

Stock cz trigger is more like 7-8 not 15. Plus a shadow comes with a 5-6 DA so there for any CZ can work off that poundage. : :blush: :blush:

This decision seems to penalize safe-action pistol shooters more so than DA pistol shooters in Production. If this is a question of having the gun more like "stock", then the trigger weights should be adjusted in the same manner as other characteristics. For example, the weight restriction is currently 2 ounces over the factory weight (as opposed to one weight fit all). Instead, have something like pull weight cannot be less that 60% of factory weight. A Glock going from 5 to 3 pounds does not seem like too severe a modification as compared to a CZ going from 15 to 3 pounds. If you take a CZ and reduce the pull weight to 9 pounds (which is 60%), that's offset by the advantaged gained by having subsequent 1.75 (or thereabouts) pound shots. I may not be 100% correct on the CZ trigger weight example, but it's close enough to illustrate my point. I think that some characteristics can have a division wide ruling such as the current provision allowing replacement of the sights or barrel. But the mechanical difference between safe-action and double action are as wide as the difference between the weight of a Glock versus CZ. A byproduct of this type of decision may also bring more production shooters into the argument as all production guns would be affected instead of one segment of the division. My 2 cents...

Consider the Safariland 5188. It will clear the sight (I use a .300 tall FS). They run about $35-ish. Be sure to use the "newer" version of the 5188. The "older" version has a large suede liner on the inside of the holster. The newer version has a much smaller suede liner (about 2"x2") in size.

Was a fantastic match allergies not withstanding

N320 is it. But as mentioned before, too hard to get, too expensive at almost twice the price of most other brands. I use universal clays right now. But I'm considering trying out Solo 1000. I've been hearing good things about it from shooters better than me.

The most common problem I've seen is a broken, damaged, or worn out trigger spring. I'd replace the spring in any event. Make sure it's the same one you had before. A totally different spring could change the way your trigger works. Also check your trigger pins. Broken pins/springs seem happen more often on a G35 as opposed to the G34. Chances are that if the adjustments did not move, something gave out or wore out. Hope this helps!

I would think twice about taking it back to the guy who did your trigger work (assuming that the trigger job is the problem). There are a number of safety checks that need to be done PRIOR to getting your gun. Brazos has a nice article explaining what the safety checks are. Here is another link specifically on the thumb safety.

Yeah, glock recoil springs are great for factory loads. When you start reloading especially with a lighter bullet like 115g it changes things. Try either a lighter recoil spring (12-15 pounds) or use a heavier bullet. I'd go with a lighter recoil spring. I use a 125g RN behind 3.9g of Univ Clays. My G34 has an 12 lbs recoil spring.

Way to go Chris!

I stopped ordering from Midway a looong time ago because of their shipping rates which seems to not be in line with other shops. And the more $$$ you spend, the more shipping seems to go up and it is not necessarily due to weight.

I like the TechWell (TGO). Every mag seems to fit well and I have 5 different brands of magazines. I use Tripp Research mostly.

I would not risk injury by following advice from a non-professional (sports) physical therapist. The problem with injuries is that once it's done the first time, it is much easier to do it again. I would spend a little $$ to get some advise on injury prevention, stretching, and physical training. In my case, my PT began the process of painfully messaging my calf muscles to break up scar tissue from a previous injury. Once that was done, the stretching & exercise routine began. Haven't re-injured the leg since. Hope this helps.

After shooting production for over 2 years and then switching to a .45 1911 3 weeks ago, I thought I was never going to get over the recoil change. However, 3K rounds later it's not so bad anymore. The mil-spec version tend to have sharper corners. The grip tends to be slightly lower compared to a customized single stack. Definitely load your ammo to about a 168-ish power factor. You will get the most gain there. Also, try someone else's custom 1911 to feel the difference.

JGG-- is the kit any better than using the cardboard trick? I thought there was going to be something close to a striker-break. I've never used the cardboard trick so I can't give you a comparison. There is something that is out but it costs hundreds of $$$. It's one of the glock laser training pistols with the resetting trigger. Very much like the glock trigger. But they are not cheap. I forgot what they are called. Someone had it at the range and I tried it out. This model came with 2 lasers ... one green and one red. The red laser shows where your gun is aiming. When you squeeze the trigger, the green one snaps on and shows you where the shot broke. Seemed very nice if you can afford it.
