ElMateo487 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hey guys,I have been on a quest to have all the cool stuff I want on my Lim Pro and still make 43 oz, so I can shoot it in SSP IDPA. As you can see, I am at the physical limit. Haha. This is with the following:- Henning conefit guide rod- Stock firing pin- Removed right side safety- Henning base plate- Scales 2.0 grips (lightest non factory grips)- Stock hammer + bolo- all PD springsI am thinking I can drill some holes into the base plate floor? But they only weigh 0.65 of an oz total.Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryridesmotox Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 My only thought would be to remove some material from the frame beneath the grips maybe. Or maybe lighten up the slide a bit. Or go back to the stock basepads. I'm sure they are lighter than the aluminium basepads. Probably not by much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElMateo487 Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Henning FP....lolLol. This is one of the worst suggestions, and it's the first one too. Bravo. As for removing from the frame. Hum, I'll take a look under there tonight and see what I have to work with. I could go back to stock pads, that brings it down 0.4 oz. which is right where I want to be. But these pads help me with reloads a lot. Can't you see I am trying to have my cake and eat it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogtired Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 What does your lightest magazine weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronArcher Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Drill some holes (don't even have to go all the way through) the base pads to get your cushion.Do those pads in the gun fit the box?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) 9mm? In the mag is a plate that pushes the rounds forward. Drill out the pinches that hold it and remove. Edited November 5, 2016 by johnbu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElMateo487 Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Whoa. That plate drops a lot of weight. I thought that plate improved reliability with feeding? How well does it feed without the plate?And yes the base plates fit in the box along with everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hog out the led (distance to the lands) and load long. I researched for running carry optics with a S2, but using woods grips it won't be needed. so... I haven't done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) Use a mag with a plastic basepad for your first mag. That's obviously so that you know which one has 11 in it. That's also typically the one that you put in it on the scale... No one reloads to an 11rd mag in IDPA, the other two mags are the ones you need to reload to on the clock. IDPA 101.

hwansikcjswo Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 THE best answer here Your SAFETY! You can either make it single-sided safety (you can just remove the weekhand side or buy single-sided safety) or buy flatter safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryridesmotox Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 In all honestly though... If you used a non adjustable sight you might save the weight you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooke Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) So could you document the improvement in your shooting from all this waste of money. Vogel kicks ass with a basically stock Glock 34. Your money would have been better spent on practice ammo. Don't take me wrong, I recognize your right to do any darn thing you want, but I assumed it was to score better. Maybe that isn't correct. My bad.

Last time I saw Vogel shooting in person he was at a USPSA match & taking advantage (gaming hard) of the fact that he was then an officer & could strap a light on his Glock and get a muzzle weight advantage over his competitors. I do not know how he has his guns set up now, USPSA production class rules are very restrictive, but if they are stock then I think he is a rare bird among serious competitors. May have something going on with Glock as a sponsor that dictates options though. If you have read Brian's book he talks a bit about his specialized competition guns from a good while back, among other things if memory serves he required 1.5" 50 yard accuracy. Maxing out your guns potential provides a confidence lift, makes shooting and practicing more fun, & is fun in and of itself, whether or not you can prove benefits with the match score. I see $0.00 in waste here. Oh, on second thought it was all a waste, op how much would you take for that travesty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be shooting a stock glock and I would be up there with Vogel making the big bucks. I'll just give this gun to whoever wants it. Free no charge, free shipping. Just let me keep my practice ammo. So, I could go to a flat safety, but I like my big ledge safety. Does anyone have the weight of the new flat safety?I could also lose the adjustable sight. That would probably do it. Lose out on convenience when changing loads though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't take me wrong, I recognize your right to do any darn thing you want, but I assumed it was to score better. Maybe that isn't correct. My bad.First and foremost. If you want to go that route, ALL competitive shooting is a waste of money if you aren't sponsored and making money off it.I didn't want to shoot a glock. Period. I wanted to shoot something that I loved. Imagine if you showed up to a national, and every single person was shooting Glock 34s. "Because you could shoot them stock and be as fast as Vogel"PS USPSA Production national was just won with a Lim Pro. But the biggest point is, people spend money however they want to. And the end result was, I wanted a CZ platform, and this guns 12# DA was unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDPA 101.Doesn't IDPA require that you weigh your gun with the heaviest magazine? Maybe that's not true. If not, then this is will work. Edit: yeah, they require it to be weighed with your heaviest mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
