  1. Also shot my first carry optics match and loved it! I already think I want my slide milled to get the sight lower. I shot a 74.59% classifier on steely speed vii, which was good for me, never placed that high in production. I like this division and am super happy with this setup.

  2. Wow, I am sold. My G17 with a 13 lb recoil spring & tungston guiderod, Vanek Classic Grandmaster trigger system with Jager lenghtend striker & 4 lb striker spring, and a 147 gr Xtreme bullet under 3.2 gr Titegroup and my dot hardly left the target. It wasn't bouncing around at all. I just sighted it in today at the range and put about 100 rnds thru it and am ecstatic. I'm shooting my first match in Carry Optics Saturday and can't wait. I've been shooting Production for years now, and am more excited about this setup than ever! I think I am really going to like this new Division.

  3. Mill for the optic, get the Scales grips and it will make weight without removing parts

    Do you actually have one set up? I am extremely skeptical of people making these statements, given my personal experience, and the fact that it seems every one of these remarks has been made without actually having weighed all of the prospective pieces, let alone actually have an actual pistol set up that way.

    My Compact set up for CO now weighs in at 44.55oz. It is currently wearing a set of VZs, which are comparable in weight to the aluminum scale grips (if anything, the VZs are actually lighter). Note that the scale grips are only marginally lighter than the CZC thin aluminum, and both are on the higher end of the weight scale.

    A full-size will be able to make weight, but you are going to have to play with the parts and/or mags to make it - you won't be able to just use whatever you'd like.

    A CZ 75b makes it without any issues, as long as you use the JPoint optic (1/2 oz.) It comes with a short plastic guide rod, and a LHS only safety. It also comes with plastic grips which are significantly lighter than other grips i've weighed. I prefer the rubber grips, but they are triple the weight of the plastic grips (1.2 oz per side, vs 0.4 oz per side.)

    Wow l might have to do this. I just weighed my 75 BD with Jpoint on mount in dovetail, with the rubber grips and empty mag, and scale said 36 ounces. Man that might work, this gun tracks the dot great with minor. Now I'm all excited.

  4. Ok sounds good. I know it's not feasible to think it can track like a compensated open gun. I'm going to try some different minor loads as well. 147, 124 and maybe even some 115's with a fast powder and see which one gives me decent sight tracking.

  5. Are you guys happy with being able to track the dot? It seems like my dot is bouncing all over the place compared to the frame mounted dots on a major 9. Any tips for loads or grip on my G17 with a dovetail cmore sts?

  6. Honestly I'm excited about this new division. I took my open G17 setup back to Production rules but left the dot, and with my 147gr. soft minor loads I couldn't be happier with this setup. I also love that I can use my 140 mm mags. post-7954-144579548533_thumb.jpg

  7. How about this one? It's what I've got in my Glock...

    That looks nice and would be a good ESP trigger, but SSP requires no external visible modifications. The adjustable pre-travel screw is visible on the trigger.

    Not legal for USPSA Production Division either.

  8. The Vanek Classic trigger is about as good as you can get for a production type trigger but don't expect it to be shorter like a fulcrum trigger. It still has all the pre-travel just smooth as butter with a much lighter release. The Classic GM trigger does allow pre-travel adjustment and will be a much shorter and lighter trigger than the OEM with a shorter reset. There are several other kits available that will do the same thing, DK Triggers would be another good choice along with Zev/Glockworx or Johnny Glock's triggers. There are lots of them out there you just need to let your wallet be your guide.

    Good advice. I have used all of the triggers you named and they are all good.

    Actually Charlie does have one with all the pre travel taken out pre built, I think its the Super Trigger on his website, I have one in my open Glock. He modifies it to keep all the safety's intact. Where you would normally let it out at the reset is where it stops. Great trigger, but not Production legal.

  9. Yes there are many out there that do Glock triggers that probably do fine work, but as far as I know Charlie Vanek was one of among the first doing it years ago, so you're getting his wealth of knowledge and experience of building many many many of them that are reliable. I have had his triggers in all my Glocks for 8 years now with no problems. Smooth as glass, light and crisp.

  10. SJC is now selling their threaded gunsmith fit pre fit SJC/KKM barrels. I got one and the lockup and accuracy is excellent. I can load out to 1.150 no problem, and it is a fully supported match chamber, even more support than the standard KKM drop in I once bought.

  11. Wrong Sir^^^ very very wrong

    Ok my mistake then, it has the pre-travel screw in the housing, but the safety tab has not been engaged. I don't see the benefit though because there is not much pre-travel to be taken out with out trimming the safety tab.

    I said engaged. But meant to say the safety tab as not been trimmed. There just is not much pre-travel to be taken out of the trigger without trimming or otherwise modifying the safety tab which would make it illegal for Production because it would be an external visible mod, because you changed the outside stock appearance of the trigger.
