kevin c Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 P16 LDA, but I have just finished tweaking my new G35, so we'll see if I'll have to change my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abman Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 G17 - Absolutely no feedng problems, works under all conditions, however, it took me awhile to transition from the 1911 GC to it. Now I'm going to a P16 for the 2005 Canadian Nationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9MX Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I started with a 3rd gen G17 but was seduced by CZ85B's sweet single action and ambi controls (I'm a lefty). The CZ is not as reliable as the Glock but it has registered a number of flawless pistol action in the matches that i participated in last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putty Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 If I do, it will be my HK USP 40. Needs some work, though. Trigger is lame ........or is it the finger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypool40 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Down here we see a lot of GLocks and CZ's, also a good number of "Jerichos". Hey where's the link, and who has one of the sexy new cz production race guns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9MX Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 It seems that Glock is the preferred pistol for IPSC production. But is it the "winningiest?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chp5 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 It seems that Glock is the preferred pistol for IPSC production. But is it the "winningiest?" I believe 3 of the top 4 finishers at the 2004 Nationals used a Glock. I don't know how you measure "winningest," but that's pretty good. It's also worthwhile to note that shooters using Berettas and CZs did well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I'm surprised RHINO doesn't shoot what JAYGO shoots Well, I would if I could! The trigger finger ... it's not long enough for a stock Glock! So Flex$ can feel better, I will admit that I can shoot my G17 okay, but the frame has been drastically reduced, thus making it inelligible for Production (or Stock Service Pistol in IDPA). Plus I don't like the way Glocks flex when you squeeze them or how they "whip" when you shoot them. It's kinda creepy. I really like the grip and short trigger reach on the BDM, but the trigger reset could be measured in feet instead of fractions of an inch. The Smith & Wesson is almost as good for me grip size-wise, but the trigger is drastically better than the BDM or any other double action gun I've shot. I like its trigger better than a Glock as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spd522 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I shoot a SIG P226 9mm, my old duty pistol. Other than changing the sights and a hard chrome finish, it is stock. Action is pretty smooth since it has been shot a lot over the past 13 years. I shot my Glock 17 a few times but the SIG feels better, is more accurate, reliable, and faster for me. Plus reloading is much easier. I have been considering a Para P18-9mm LDA though. I have shot them and they are really slick. Plus I shoot Paras in other classes so they just feel natural.

Skywalker Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Not sure if Adam shot the EC with a Glock, altough a few months before he was shooting the Med Cup with a G17, but I read that after the very last shot at EC he has been sponsored by CZ (can you imagine a Czech european champion that doesn't shoot a Czech gun????). All in all, on this side of the pond there are a lot of Tanfoglios, CZs, and other guns used at top level other than Glock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here in the Philippines. Though according to Eye Cutter, CZ is the winningiest locally.

DVC9MAJ Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I started w/ G17 when I joined USPSA, I sold it to my friend after convincing him to join the sport, another friend came aboard & took my G22. & I'm currently using G19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driver8M3 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Glock 17 last year...34 this year. I have no idea how Glocks compare to other guns...I've really never even shot anything else (except a .22 Ruger). I like the simplicity of Glocks. Even my open gun is a Glock ...17C with a Docter sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glock-cop Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I use a Glock 34 with a titanium striker, titanium plunger, tungston guide rod and skateboard tape on the grip. I have been using wolf ammo (145 pf), but they've changed the formula and I'll switch ammo soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 How have they changed the formula? Enquiring minds want to to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamakiri Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I shoot the one no one talks about... a Ruger p-89. Unmodified except for a fiber optic front sight. There's no such thing as a totally reliable gun, but this one's the closest I've seen. Here in the Green Mountains we shoot some crazy winter matches; we had one last year when it was -17 degrees F (yeah, 17 BELOW zero), and I saw at least two Glocks (and pretty much everything else) malfunctioning all over the place, but the Ruger ran flawlessly. And a five second jam cancles out a whole lot of tenths here and there picked up on slightly quicker reloads or what have you. (The Ruger's weakest feature in my opinion is that it's a fairly slow reloader.) It's a light gun, but I like that; for me it means nice fast transitions. When it comes right down to it, though, there are a whole lot of perfectly good options in Production division. What matters most is who's pulling the trigger.

Squishy Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I shoot a XD tactical tuned by Canyon Creek . I shoot it better than my Glock 22. (I think it is a better grip angle than a Glock ) Just my 2 cents worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 "So the sponsorship wasn't the reason I switched, I was switching anyway. " Me too. As a B limited & C Production shooter, no one pays me to shoot their guns so I choose based on what works. After most of a season wasted on a Glock 17 (the GSSF model) I switched to a regular CZ 75B loaned to me by a friend (thanks Bernie). Result? Better accuracy & it felt a heck of a lot better in my hand plus it shot more like my 1911s (steel frame, steel slide - vs. plastic flex-o-frame & weird trigger). After I gave back the 75B, I bought the 85 Combat that had: extended mag release no series 80 safety overtravel adjustable trigger (that is allowed in Production division unlike "speedbump") adjustable sights & a couple other features. As for a trigger job, you can get about 80 to 90% of it simply by ordering & installing the lightest Wolff brand hammer spring (15 or 16 lbs). Until the CZ made, double-action copy of the STI EDGE (also known as the SP-01) comes out in 2005, the 85 Combat is the ideal Production weapon.
