I held one at Paterson Gunsmithing. They are nice and have a much better trigger than the Glock. One thing I noticed was the photos do not show the roll pin under the rear sight. The latest models have this feature which is supposed to improve the trigger pull. I would have purchased a Steyr but a good deal on a used H&K popped up. Edit: Pizza Bob had problems with extracting the spent case and Steyr sent a new extractor that he said looked like it had been redesigned. It worked with no problems at the last USPSA match.

The weather forecast is unfavorable currently but maybe it will change. If Ron Guman cancels the match, it will be posted here so check this thread after 5:00PM Friday.

Sorry for the delay but I was waiting for responses on the PMs to sent for missing email addresses. The list is updated and I will be sending out the class materials this weekend or sooner if I have the time. Even if you are not in the 3/31 class, I will send you the Study Guide. I will make arrangements for everyone that signed up for the class to get trained before their first match.

Yes. If you want to help out, please give me your email. I will send you the lesson plan and Study Guide.

Piffttt! Looks who's talking. Let's see your Glocks and we'll see who's messimg with "Glock Perfection." I put a Ghost Rocket in my 34 on Sunday. It needs a bit more adjustment and Dawson sights. Then we're closer to perfection.

To Everyone that has not sent me your email address: Please send me your email address (and the person you're bringing). If I do not have your or their email address, I must give your place in the class to some one else. Page 2 of this thread has the list and who's email is missing. Thank you, The Col.

I could use one.

I got my GTUL today and took every 10-rounder apart. The trick is to squeeze the GTUL while you work the brush tool side to side and get it to slip past the inner plate. Once the punch part of the tool is all the way in, use it as a level and push the handle forward. The plate will pop forward with an audible click. Squeeze the GTUL and use the brush tool to push the outer plate all the way off. Once the mag is apart, I use a utility knife to round on corners on the plate and the ears on the mag. The parts still go together tightly and the plate is not coming off unless you want it to.

I use a mix of corn cobb and lizard bedding. The walnut is supposed to clean better and the corn cobb polishes better. I like to cut up the dryer sheet into 2" squares. The small pieces move around better. Has anyone purchased the corn cobb media (drying agent really) from HF? I use the Brian Enos electronic scale. Cheap, easy to use and it works.

Wow! I never saw that tool before but it looks like it is just the ticket I need. Like the guys said: the 10 rounders are the worst.

Thanks. It makes me feel better that even a Glock armorer has a hard time with these mags. It seems apparent that since Glocks are designed for law enforcement use, the mags are designed not to come apart, even under extreme conditions.

We will get together and I'll show what a pain they are.

My guess is that these are more difficult due to the ridges inside the sides of the magazine. They make the mag stiffer and prevent the internal plate from moving up. PK90 is right. These are a big pain to disassemble the first time. Once I took it apart, I rounded the corners on the tabs on the side of the the bottom of the mag. These tabs lock the external floor in addition to the button on the internal plate. Damn those Austrians and their over engineering! Now that I have a system, the others will be easier but I have to go Frank's house. I need two pairs of hands for the first time I disassemble. One guy holds the in the button and the other taps the external floor plate loose with a punch or wood dowel. Viola!

A guy brought in an Arisaka on the show "Sons of Guns". They found some ammo, pulled the rounds and reloaded with a light charge. There was almost no recoil, must have been a 6.5mm, and looked fun to shoot.

I got it. PK90 was right, you need a vice. The 10-round mags have a rib on the sides that prevent the internal plate from being pushed up fully. I have plastic pads for the vise and they squeeze the mag nicely but I had to really crank it down. On that the mag is apart, I will round the corners on the ears a bit to make disassembly a little easier. PS: Do I own a vice? (In Gilbert Godfried voice) What am I, a homo? Ooooh! Frank: I used a brass puch that fits the hole better but I bent it a little. It bent back though.

That little button will not stay in. It does stay in with the 15-rounder. I can push it back as there seems to be some play. Not with the 10-rounders. They seem to have no play and the internal plate will not move up into the magazine body.

I have no trouble with the 15-round mag for my Glock 24 but the 10-round mags are different. The punch only goes in about a quarter inch and then stops solidly. Are the 10-round mags designed not to be disassembled so that they cannot be modified to high capacity? I checked the videos and they all show the disassembly like I do with the 15-rounders. They say to squeeze the magazine to free the ears? Please, maybe with the all plastic ones but the steel lined? A gorilla couldn't squeeze those and get the mag to bend. I tried tiny wood blocks and a clamp and even that wouldn't squeeze it. The floor plate on the 10-rounder will not budge.

Given the increasing cost of membership and the unwillingness to change, it doesn't seem worth renewing my membership. I'll stick with Shongum.

Probably not. I heard S&B drills the primer pocket while most manufacturers swage them. That is why they are tight. In .45ACP it takes a significantly more effort to seat the primers. I sort out the S&B cases and load them in a batch. This way, reloading is smoother with all primers taking similar effort to seat. In 9mm, there is little difference between S&B on other brands so I don't sort them.

Hey...I'll get in on this. I heard they use the money to fund terrorist organizations. I heard it from a friend how knows a guy who has a cousin who said he read it on the internet. So it has to be true.

I loath both of them. I pretend to shoot the radio as I hit the off button. I want to have the commercial playing on a radio as I shoot it many times.

They are a terrorist organization because they know their radio commercials are completely obnoxious but they keep running them. I understand the concept. I can see some slimily; greasily slug of an advertising executive selling the ad to Kars for Kids “These ads will be so painfully annoying that they will get people’s attention.” Yes, I remember the ads, like I remember my most painful visit to the dentist. I hate Kars for Kids. I hate the people that work there. I hate the people that sing the jingle. And thanks to this ad, I hate kids. The only upside is my reflexes are now lightning fast. As soon as I recognize the beginning of the ad, my hand darts for the off button on the radio. I wish horrible things on everything connected with Kars for Kids.

Hey Nick: Can you check out the pistol range and let us know what they did? I'd go myself but I have some reloads to test and the target changes are soooo long.

This is a knockdown steel match. The Texas Star will be there. Be afraid, be very afraid.
