JHOWARD Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I have a CZ that I should set up for competition, but I dont like it nearly as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxil343 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I have a 34 that is a great production gun and a 24 that is a great limited gun. Glocks are fantastic for competition, even more so since you are new, as they are reliable. A gun that runs 100% will take you a long way in this game.

9x45 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 J, my kid has a CZ set up for CO. It's got a Agnus trigger in it. Real nice, but too many parts for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I had one of the first 17L models in the country and shot it in Major Open, when the power factor was 175, up until 9mm Major was outlawed. Never had any problems with it and it was box stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Steve, when was 9 Major outlawed? Or do you mean the PF changed to 165 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Was back in the late 80s, early 90s. Was then reinstated later on and the power factor lowered to 165 at that time. Early days of 9 Major and some people were having trouble with establishing loads without problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early days of 9 Major and some people were having trouble with establishing loads without problems. After 9mm was outlawed I got an early STI, initially they were sold by Chip McCormick with CMC on the grip. Those are probably collectors items now as that arrangement didn't last too long. That was in .38 Super and was a really good gun. Only problem with it was that they were behind on magazines and you got one with the frame and could not buy any for awhile. Was fun shooting matches with only one mag, fortunately there weren't too many stages you couldn't get through with one mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Religious Shooter Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Not really relevant to the OP... but in the early-mid 90's you legally could load 9mm brass to major (and score major) if they had a COAL of ~1.25". It was in the USPSA rulebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreGarciaTAT2 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I heard that Nils guy won a match or two with a Taran built Glock. :-)Lots of top tier shooters use them, lots of shooters don't. I love them, and I own many guns but will never compete with anything but a Glock. Just too foolproof IMO.

AzShooter Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'm dating myself but I loved my Glock 17L years ago. I shot Major 9 and won a lot of matches. The gun simply did not have any malfunctions after about 65000 rounds. I've bought a few more Glocks over the years until I gave up shooting Autos for Revolvers.

JimmyBob Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Barf, no one uses Glocks, those are garbage. Real pros use hi points, bersas and Soviet milsurp pistols. Duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fbzero Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Glocks shoot just fine for competition or any other use. A lot of people shoot other guns for various reasons, but that doesn't mean the Glock is any less capable. It's the Indian, not the arrow. If you're new to competition, my advice is to shoot what you have for now and then decide what you want as your skills improve. Happy shooting!

sigsauerfan Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) i currently have 4 limited glocks (re worked zev ultimate triggers and brass added everywhere possible, except the SJC frame weight loll) which i worked a lot to mitigate the muzzle lift so it act a little like a 2011.....still, the trigger and balance of those guns will never feel like some SV's i tried, nor the grip angle and the grip height......so i'm contemplating the idea of finally swapping plateform in favor of either an SV or a worked up sti.....not that the glocks i've built are limited in performance (pretty sure any M or GM could win races with any of my guns) but i NOW believes a heavy and more balanced 2011 would makes my life easier.

I shoot B class limited, Revolver and production class.I guess I am not really all that great, and shoot them all about the same. I am real good with any gun I pick up and I have had them all SV,STI, Para's, Kimber polymer. I really like gen4 glock 34 with the large beavertail nice 3.5 trigger. I really like the fact that I can use all my mags in all my weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the fact that I can use all my mags in all my weapons. if you notice i've never implied that my glocks were a limiting factor. what i've highlighted is the known fact that whatever the mods you perform on your glocks, the trigger and the weight distribution-balance will never approach the feel provided by a heavy tuned 2011.....i got my fair part of sucess with my guns, i'm a C class shooter and i don't pratice at all....i mean, there was a time i was at the range for practice 1-2 times a week, but now i just shoot matches, and what i meant is i know my next gun will be a well tuned 2011 and i know it'll make my life easier because i personnaly find they're easier to shoot fast since the felt recoil and muzzle flip is for me less felt, and a 1.5 lbs trigger is easier to slap without upsetting the gun. as leatham said ''' all the guys who are at the top slams the trigger,at some point you must be able to slam the trigger at speed without upsetting the gun if you want to go fast while getting A's ''' and this is something i don't suceed at with my glocks whatever they display a 2.3lbs as trigger break weight.....all this being how i feel about glocks ,and mind you mine are heavily tuned. i'm far from being the best shooter out there, but after trying many 2011 , i reached the conclusion that i'm gonna shoot as accurately , but quite faster with less effort with a 2011.

Xanatos903 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) I'm not a great shooter, but I shoot mine in Open. They're an excellent gun to start off with and continue to use until the gun is really holding you back, rather than your skill and comfort with running a stage quickly.
