Has anyone heard anything about US IPSC Nationals yet?

I need one that fits the IPSC box. The STI does that but Dawson also has one that does....

I will invest in a new magwell from Dawson.... [

I will use a metal mainspring housing and most likely the STI magwell. The gun must fit in the "box" IPSC rule you know.

I just got a mail from PT they have a 10 wek lead time so I can have my new grip fitted before Double Tap in June......

The best bag that I have ever had is made by Hafner in Florida. Highest quality and very well designed. I have the Seventeen Inch Bag at least that what I think it is named..... Check them out they are well worth it....

I sent a mail to PT and they answered promptly. I am now on the waiting list for an aggressive grip in Stainless steel. That I can use my STI mags is a nice touch..... Thanks guys for all your input......

I have heard so much about the STI aluminium grip,that is is not an option.... Also will I have a competent gunsmith do the work so that is not what worries me.....

I have decided that I want to have a metal grip for my STI HighCap. Which one would you guys recomend? The Infinity one seems to be complete except for the trigger insert.I will have to get new Magazines though but i can live with that. For the Phoenix Trinity one am I not that sure what parts comes with the grip. A mag release for instance? What other parts does one need or it is complete kit? Any input on this is welcomed!

Double Tap June 12-14. The theme is "The Mummy". Sorry "Double Post".

Thanks.....it makes my Life a lot easier as I have nine mags for my HPS...

Does it take STI mags or?

Glad to have you. I think you are probably in the running for longest distance to travel for the match! Thanks I have heard some good things about this match.

I am in squad 22. This will be fun......

As I shoot minor with a 9mm Infinity with a full lengt dustcover and a steel grip is recoil not a problem.

There's much more to be considered before you start chopping up your prized pistol. Cha-lee started a great thread on the topic here: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=183028&page=1 When a pistol cycles there are linear forced, rotational forces, many frictional surfaces and multiple springs at play. I, like so many others, only considered what would look really bad ass and was not very happy with the way it changed the characteristics of the recoil impulse. Fortunately different shooters have different preferences and I found someone who really likes it. Thanks

A friend and I are discussing the pros and cons of having a lightened slide. Like for instance the one shown below. Because the slide is lighter will it slide faster not by much but still. But what we are worried about is that the slide can develop cracks easier than a normal slide? Any thought and inputs is appreciated.

As a matter of have I already started looking into "Operation DT 2014". Plane tickets rental cars and hotels and not to mention what local matches to enjoy before the big one. As of now will we shoot Midnight Madness in Las Vegas, with the Running Guns in Norco and with the guys at Rio Salado before we head out to Texas and the big one.

Sir. I am afraid that Sweden is just a wee bit further away than Dallas.We can talk about it at the match. If everything goes as planned will there be at least two Swedish shooters at Double Tap in 2014. I was there in "12" and I had a blast. Alf, I have to tell you that the way those of us Texans see the globe is different than the way most view it. To us, Texas covers about 97% of the face if the earth with a thin blue sliver on each side across which lies the rest of things on earth. :-) I always look forward to shooting with people from other countries, even Oklahoma. :-) I have crossed the big"pond" on a regular basis since "92", and DT in 2012 was the best match I have ever been to. The stages where special to say the least.My favorite was shipwrecked(?). The one with all the little plastic balls.At the prizegiving ceremony was I presented with a big Texas flag a very very nice touch indeed.

Just signed up for the match. Really looking forward to this one....

This match was one of the best that I have ever had the pleasure of shooting. Great RO's by the way.

I have put my name in. Last Area 1 that I shot was in "98".So it has been a while.

Thanks alot for the answers. I will remove the pedal before I head over the "pond" again.
