  1. A rag and some car polish should make it a lot better to see the powder level.
  2. Range Master should cancel the match. Running in the rain- wet and muddy ground,running while finger is on or near the trigger--not a good idea. Been shooting IPSC for approx 30 years. Slipped over on muddy ground once. Running on wet/muddy ground- slipped - landed on my knees and elbows and luckily kept finger outside of trigger guard. A safe day is a good day.
  3. Several years ago ,I contacted Wolff re the weight of the striker spring that was always included with the Recoil spring(BTW, I use 11 pound Recoil springs in my 3x IPSC Glocks) The Striker Spring is stock weight.
  4. I've previously used a Birchwood Casey Super Black Touch Up Pen- Flat Black. No clean-up required.
  5. I've been buying Glock parts and accessories from glockparts.com and rockyourglock.com for approx 15 years. Always had great service and got what I wanted.
  6. Cant ,can't. I bought a DAA Racemaster and solved the problem ! I have a special drawer for kydex holsters.
  7. I use RYG Phantom triggers on my three Glocks. Feels a bit like snapping a freshly picked carrot in half.
  8. I've been loading 9mm for my Open Major Glock 17 and Standard/Limited Glock 34 (2x of them) for around 15-20 years ??? I just checked the taper crimp on them and they all are .370 . I bullet pull on rare occasions- - they come apart easily. I have 3x different brands of match barrels- KKM, LWD and Storm Lake --all the rounds "plunk" fine in each. I hope this helps someone . These are "range only guns" BTW.
  9. Re matteekay, Ditto Ditto for my 629
  10. Been there, done that !!!!! BUT don't get it anywhere on the grip or your hands or it will give you a new set of problems.
  11. Another thumbs up for "fiberopticproducts.com I've enough in stock to open a shop. Been giving it away to pistol club mates for years. I have a good selection of sizes and colors. Have tested all and stuck with red and orange.

    SOCKS<

    I've been rotating three 3 pairs of Wigwam hiking socks(and have another 4 spare pairs) for about 8 years and have been waiting a long time for a hole to appear. If somebody can give me a better pair of socks, I will drop my Jockeys at the nearest set of traffic lights. Keeping your toenails trimmed helps.?

    Ho hum !!!! I've posted my recipe/mods previously--nobody took note!! My Open Glock has all the mods--from day one never had a single problem EXCEPT I had to Loctite a few screws. Sorry, not bragging, just gets me frustrated to see shooters not doing enough research. Please search my previous posts. Thanks.
  14. I just bought my 3rd (THIRD) CED Range Bag. I need them all ? I think they are the best on the market.Tough and strong. Anybody that breaks or wears out one of these must be really hard on their gear .
  15. I've had a Pact Club 3 Timer for many years--I had one of the battery wires come loose--fixed that and no other problems. If the Go button sticks, I would take it apart and ream the hole out a bit. Another tip-- I use a Lithium battery in it-- less chance of a battery leaking and messing-up the wiring and/or electronics.
  16. Have a look at the 5.11 Range Ready Bag.You could probably fit the kitchen sink in it !
  17. Chinese made Salomons. I bought 2x pairs a couple of years back-allowed for size,but they were too tight at toes. Apart from that they were fine. I sold them to another IPSC shooter. Make sure you allow a size or two larger. I bit the bullet and bought a pair of Salomon Wings from the US. Back/black/fluo yellow. Meant for low arches.Cost me a lot but they fit perfect and like wearing hush puppies on the range.
  18. Broadly and briefly explained from an IPSC view: You will "sweep" anybody on your left or right and you will break the 180 degree rule.
  19. I'm still using my Pact Club 3 timer- more than 10 years old. Several years back I had to do a solder repair on the battery connections- been going perfect ever since. Gave my PP2 to a new shooter mate. Nothing wrong with it , I just prefer the Pact Club 3. I also have a CED7000 which I use when practicing- strapped to my left arm, BUT I keep going back to my Pact Club 3 all the time- for normal club matches. I think they're all good timers, but sometimes a bad apple will turn up.
  20. I have a CED7000 with the extended AA battery doo dad and various other accessories AND I keep it charged up all the time. BUT I keep reverting to (using) my PACT Club Timer that I've had a lot longer (15+ yrs?). It clips onto my belt easily and I've stuck non slip "spots" all over it so sweaty hands don't drop it and a spare 9 volt battery is always in my range bag. Oh btw, I gifted my Pocket Pro 2 to a new rookie shooter(nothing wrong with it -worked great--but size does matter ! )
  21. Why o why does CED not manufacture an updated CED7000 with a (quickly changeable) 9 volt battery ????? They would sell sell sell !!!! Edit: I realize the timer case would need to be slightly larger, but hey, they are most likely made in China !! Rechargeable batteries are horses posteriors- jmo.
  22. I have 3x G34's (for IPSC) and all have sets of Dawson sights,each with the adjustable rear sight. Great when I'm messing around with different loads.And btw, I've always used 147 grn projectiles for IPSC. I hope this is of some help to you.
  23. Have you looked at the 5.11 Rush 12, 24 and 72 Backpacks. I use a 5.11 Rush 12 Backpack and can fit my iPAD in the double sided/entry zipped back. Maybe the 24 or 72 will fit a Laptop- (depending on size of laptop of course.)
  24. The grip tape that I get from the UK wears out after 6 months or so of use and then I have to get white knuckles to tear it off. I then clean my 17 or 34 grip area with alcohol - rub real hard and then apply new pre-cut grip tape. Cut to size by me. Surface areas of grip must be VERY clean before applying the new grip tape.
  25. I like to put a fine oil all around and up and down shaft just before I start each time. No problems or complaints with re my method.
