B_RAD Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Anyone know of a lighter one? and how much it'll weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatriotDefense Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 .24oz.... as they sit now. Still making a few small tweaks to them but thats a pretty big savings for guys pushing the weight limit in IDPA and Carry Optics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just making some small tweaks to the designs now, and of course running them through some torture test to ensure positive results to the end user. Increased the shoulder diameter slightly to give it a larger bearing face in the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now welfare open is unlimited ammo, one of my Stock II's needs a diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) It's amazing to me how many people are suddenly wanting to shoot Welfare Open Minor - now that Carry Optics is a full mag capacity division. Personally the 10rd limit of production is one of my favorite things about the division. Round count math, and reloading speed are huge strategy & skill factors. I had no idea that many people hated relaoding more than once! Edited January 31, 2017 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 It's just......different. Fun trying something else other than open & limited. Variety being the spice and all that. I think it comes down to goals. If you want to class as high as possible, jumping around in divisions won't help much. But if you are having fun, changing divisions is like shooting an entirely different game every time. Great looking guide rods! I keep finding stuff I want to buy at PD! Started a new list last night, while a box from PD was waiting for me in my mailbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunez Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 BTW Patriot Defense: I've stated publicly on Facebook (CO Group) that I will make weight with my Stock II. I'm counting on you like always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
