Shokr21 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I started shooting USPSA this spring and up until a couple weeks ago I was content shooting production. I've gotten the itch to make a couple modifications to my g17 and try my hand in ltd 10 shooting minor PF. I'm fine with minor scoring and that disadvantage doesn't bother me. Having said all that what would be your suggestions for tuning my g17 to be the best ltd 10 gun possible while still being able to revert back to a stockish configuration still legal for production? I've ordered a grip force adapter and a magwell already. The only other modification to the weapon is ameriglo defoor sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoshidaex Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Brass plug, heavy mag well, tungsten guide rod (if available). With all that extra weight, recoil shouldn't be an issue. A drop in aftermarket trigger kit that has external adjustments would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton1 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 The Defoor sights are pretty nice, but for high-speed stuff, I'd rather have something with a fiber optic in the front sight. AmeriGlo makes a set for the 17 that are F/O (part number GL-453). JMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synergy Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I just added the fiber optic front to replace the plain front from my Defoor sights on my 17, and I'm very pleased with the results. The replacement FO fronts are the same exact dimension so you shouldn't need to do any real adjustments after you replace it.

kevin c Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 How much money do you have to play with? Just a thought, albeit at higher cost - a used G22 or top end plus the mags gets you to major PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shokr21 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Thanks for the responses fellas. I got a zev aluminum mag well (black) a grip force adapter (actually two, so one on the g17 and one on my carry g19, turns out I like 'em) and added some skateboard grip tape I had laying around. I normally shoot production and will probably end up going back to shooting production. L10 is just something I wanted to try to see if I wanted to maybe step into a 2011 sometime down the road for limited shooting. I have no desire to change calibers, I shoot 9mm glocks and .45 acp 1911's as Gaston and JMB dreamed they'd be shot! ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Why L-10? At least shoot Limited so you can have a slight capacity advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKtruck150 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Why L-10? At least shoot Limited so you can have a slight capacity advantage. Just a lower number of competitors. My buddy did this with his G35. It helped with self esteem as he ranked higher with limited 10. Edited August 7, 2012 by JKtruck150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shokr21 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Why L-10? At least shoot Limited so you can have a slight capacity advantage. Limited has the most competitors at my club. There are only a couple guys who shoot L10, some of which only show up sparingly. There have been times where there is only one L10 shooter. I want to give him some competition as we get along pretty well and we're fairly even shooters. There's plenty of prod shooters as well, so I wanted to try something a little different but still maintain the mag change frequency as I'm sure I'll go back to prod eventually. As I said in my OP, I'm completely ok with the disadvantage of minor scoring, it doesn't bother me at all. It just forces me to shoot more accurately at the same pace. I like that challenge.

waktasz Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 If that's how you like to roll...have fun. I guess those guys were right when they called L-10 the hider division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
