cash Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 I shoot a G17 in idpa SSP. The gun is all stock. What do you recommend that I do to improve the performance of this gun. ie. trigger, sites, spring, guide rod etc. Or would another Glock model 34 or 35 be more suitable for this arena. I realize that I have alot of improvement to do myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 Buy a progressive reloader if you don't have one already. A cheap supply of ammunition is the best addition you can make. If you're new, don't mess with anything yet. The Glock's just dandy as it is. Give it some time and see where you start to feel limited - then change that. It doesn't sound like you're to that point yet. In SSP, there's little that you CAN change and still be legal. My numero uno gripe with the Glock is the mag release, but extended releases are a no-no in IPSC Production and SSP. You *will* want to dump those chintzy plastic sights. There's lots of good ones to be had: Heinie, Trijicon, even Meprolight has some respectable sights. I shoot a stock G19 alongside guys with high-dollar Limited 10 pistols and have yet to feel like my equipment was what was holding me back. I shoot production class, but always land somewhere in the middle of the pack in Lim10. On a good day I can place just below the Open shooters. I'll bet you can do that and better with your stock 17!

Flexmoney Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 Ditto. I like the idea of spending the money on ammo...and, Brian's book. Brian's book and a lot of dry fire practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cash Posted November 14, 2001 Author Share Posted November 14, 2001 I have a Dillon Square Deal. Shoot SSP with a rank of SS. Looking for specifics on sites, etc. Appreciate the feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 Double Ditto: Get Brian's book!! It is ESSENTIAL equipment. Most metal sight for the Glock are good. I use fixed sights b/c my loads don't have much drop, so my gun is easy to sight in. I like the Trijicon's because they have more daylight. Mep's are OK, but I don't like the front sight filling most of the notch. I have had a bad experience with TriLux sights, (rear didn't fit worth a damn) but all the other makes seem to be fine. It's really hard to get a bad sight for a Glock these days. Just pick one you like. They're all about the same price. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Glock Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 I don't know if they're legal for IPSC but alot of people are using the Bomar sights in the GSSF arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Glock Racing Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 Bo-mars sights are legal for USPSA, IPSC, IDPA and GSSF. By far the best sights for any type of competition shooting. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
