paopao Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 How do you like your gun after the last round? Do you want the slide to open or not? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 My gun dosent lock open. Easy to over insert a mag if loaded with the slide back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjstubbl Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Is that the only reason people disable the slide stop? Wouldn't it be faster to reload and hit the button then fire on an empty chamber and then chamber a round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Once you figure out the game a little, running dry is not very common. The vast majority of custom guns are set up to not lock back for the reason already stated and to keep the gun from prematurely locking back with ammo still in the mag. It's a lot about course management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Once you learn to count you don't run dry as often either !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig N Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Once you learn to count you don't run dry as often either !! This is why I'm looking to go to Open......I learned to count without my fingers and toes now. Now I can shoot something other than IDPA, Production or SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paopao Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 My gunsmith made my gun not to open. do i need to modify my follower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvinc78 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 My gunsmith made my gun not to open. do i need to modify my follower? yes should still mod your follower just to insure theres nothing to catch or grab... and if you run dry you've done something wrong...

JimmyZip Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Some people like that lock open function. Vast majority Sarge? Maybe in the competition world. Some folks prefer it not to function for competition purposes, but I figure, if you never shoot to slide lock, why would you need to disable it?

usmc1974 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Once you learn to count you don't run dry as often either !! yep +1 I like the gun to lock open when empty. I might want to carry it or shoot IDPA with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipscjoe Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Open or limited no. Single stack or prod. You better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that does not is my Limited gun. Production, SS, and Revolver are all suitable for CCW even though I do not use them as my carry gun. I have run dry twice. In both cases my head was elsewhere so I forgot to reload. Both courses were 22 rounds and I start with 21 so both cost a a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob DuBois Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 My Open and Limited guns are worked on not to lock back and the idea is to count shots on the walk through and never let the gun run dry. My ESP and CDP IDPA guns are set to lock back, the IDPA idea is to get the gun to slide lock. Just depends which games you want to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should not mod your follower. The more follower you have the better. The more material you remove the more prone they are to rolling over turning you mag into a large rattle...

Sarge Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Vast majority Sarge? Maybe in the competition world. Figured we WERE talking about the competition world. Figured we were talking competition guns as well. Carry guns? I don't modify them to work like a comp gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I agree my carry guns lock back my open and limited gun no. An over inserted 2011 mag is no fun if your planning stages you won't be at slide lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paopao Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thank you guys for all the response. Does the dawson posi loc mag catch prevent over insertion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgetful Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) I like mine open but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to make it lock back with 100. 0000% consistently and never lock back with one still in the mag. Every mag is different and each of my grams followers are at different levels of ground off ness. Might grind on my slide release... Yes the Dawson pos stops over insertion. But I have a stock sti from 2011 that has the ejector placed in a mannor that it won't get hit by a over inserted mag...

wes777 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Open or limited no. Single stack or prod. You better. +1 why would you run dry in open or limited? unless by mistake. SS, lock back, it happens that sometimes you will need to go to slidelock several times in a stage. sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
