sharptailhunter Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I was checking out a buddy's G22 with the Lone Wolf overtravel stop he had just installed. It seemed pretty cool, so I've tried to research it some. Is it legal to have one on my G34 that I plan to shoot SSP with? Are there any other shooting competitions that I would be prohibited to shoot in because of it? Sorry for the ignorance, I haven't shot a match yet, but I plan to this year. Also, a few of the reviews of the product said it can cause runaways. Has anybody experienced that? Is it a common problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solvability Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 It is an internal mod and I believe fully compliant. I have them in 3 Glocks and have never had a problem with doubling - my guess is that would be a cruciform issue not a stop issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trvlngnrs Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Is the LW stop a drop in modification, or is cutting/filing involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueOvalBruin Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 It is legal in SSP as it is not an external modification. It is a drop-in modification but the set screw that sets the overtravel distance needs to be tuned. I would recommend getting the armorer's slide plate also to help with taking the gun apart if you set the overtravel too tight. One more thing, if you take out too much overtravel the trigger can get mushy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 There are no rules that prohibit them in IDPA or USPSA that I am aware of. It is a good modification. Of course, for 10 cents and 5 minutes, you can DIY. Did my first one about 15 years ago (still works) and about 50 since and it is pretty easy. 4-40 1/4" long socket head screw. Drill and tap and adjust. If you want, when you have it adjusted, run it IN 2 full turns, add loctite and back out 2 turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharptailhunter Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Mark, I smell what you're stepping in. That's exactly what I was going to do. I looked online, $24.95 for the item. How much is a 4-40 screw... about $0.12. I already have the tap, just too. I just wanted to make sure I didn't violate any rules by doing it. Thanks for all your replies.

Jman Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 You can add one to the front of the housing to reduce pre-travel as well. It changes the stock profile of the trigger in the trigger guard and I believe makes it illegal for Production. No idea how IDPA stands there. I think it works pretty darn good when set up right.

You can reduce take-up as long as the trigger safety tab is not modified, and still be production legal. However, all you can really get is about 0.1" unless you do modify the trigger safety tab. Putting a screw through the front of the housing (along the bore axis) is not the best idea. They lack long term reliability and there is some "drift" making the take-up change.
