RangerTrace Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 I have a friend at Safariland and asked him to make me a holster for a G35 with the SJC Frame Weight. My justification was that since it's now legal, there would be lots of shooters wanting them........we will see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan45kim Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I wish you luck with getting the holster. I started making my own holsters so I have some plans drawn up but first I need my buddy to machine my weight. I ran a limited M&P for several years and thought I held it pretty flat until I got to watch some good video of myself. I'm going to try and find the sweat spot as far as weight goes so this will be a process and several holsters as I remove weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David.Hylton Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Redeye Tactical made mine out of kydex. It works great so far. After Michael figured out some tricks the holster looks good and holds the set-up securely. His price was way less than a race holster. https://www.redeyetacticalgear.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerTrace Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 I finally decided to go with a frame weight......but it's attached to my Sight Tracker.......... I made the mistake of shooting my SS Infinity yesterday. It almost instantly killed my motivation for shooting a Glock in Limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Givo08 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I prefer having a frame weight on my glock whether shooting major or minor. It does make the recoil impulse more "dull." The bigger advantage to me is that it improves the consistency of my transitions. You may be able to drive a lighter gun faster between targets, but in my experience I can stop a heavier gun where I want to easier with excessive sight movement.

3djedi Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) I finally decided to go with a frame weight......but it's attached to my Sight Tracker.......... I made the mistake of shooting my SS Infinity yesterday. It almost instantly killed my motivation for shooting a Glock in Limited. Man that's a sweet ride. I never get tired of seeing this pistol! lol How do you like the grip on it? How does it compare to a stock polymer grip (STI) that has been reduced and stippled?

deerslayer Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 A little off topic, but have any of you had to "tune" your guns after adding a frame weight? A friend added one to an M&P and is now having reliability issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskinsler83 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Be sure the slide its rubbing the weight and that when the weight was installed it isn't distorting the frame slightly. Also perhaps the change in recoil impulse is causing mild limp wristing but my biggest bet is slide interference with the frame or the weight depending on the type of malfunctions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwx40x40 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 This may be a little off topic, regarding the SJC weight install. Has everyone been drilling countersink holes in aluminum base for all four setscrews? Or , just the two setscrews that are on top of the recoil lug? The instructions lead me to think only the two are necessary and the other two were just extras. Also are you countersinking your holes deep enough that the setscrews will be flush with weight when installed? I know what I want to do, but thought I would check here and see what others are doing.

noexcuses Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I drilled countersink holes for all four set screws. I had to file the recoil lug tab a bit to get it to fit, and its very tight and had to use a "bit" of pressure to get it installed. I figure that there is a lot force and its not going to hurt having all four. I did not countersink deep enough so setscrews are flush with weight installed. I just installed mine in the last hr so I have not got to shoot it yet lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obsessiveshooter Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Will a glock holster made for a g35 with a light work? I've thought about trying a weight, but I am not gonna go to a race holster with on off buttons and such. Something about that turns me off.

Novock Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Absolutly run the weight... i run one on a limited and open glock and it does quite a bit to calm muzzle flip. I run a CR speed holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxil343 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I run the frame weight with thumbrest on my 24 and love it. Not sure I'll ever go back to shooting a limited Glock without one. I use a CR Speed and did not have to physically modify the holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nahanshew89 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I run a CR speed holster in USPSA Limited. How does that thumb rest work out for you? I'm very seriously considering this setup, but I'm a little concerned that the thumb rest seems really far forward and might mess me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskinsler83 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The SJC thumb rest sits right at the index pad on the frame. It works well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phw75 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Were you able to install the frame weight/thumb rest without drilling a hole in the frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskinsler83 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 No it requires frame drilling for the thumb rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
