She's happy with the KKM? Happy with the Overwatch? Any experience beyond what she has? Any internal tweaks or was it assembled and fired? You're still buying ammo, correct?

I have a client/acquaintance that has recently received his FFL. He is able to get me a Glock 19/3 frame. I'm going to build it into something kinda racy. I have minimal experience with Glock firearms. I have in the past owned one, a 19/4. It was cool but I don't love plastic guns. So I sold it. I have not had a desire to own another until recently when I saw the plethora and ease of assembling and building them and how much fun it can be (anyone that knows me knows I can't help building sh--stuff). So, I have the frame and recently purchased a LPK and locking block kit from Lone Wolf. It came with the trigger and all the attendant parts. What I'm looking for is suggestions on parts to buy, parts to avoid buying, etc. Any tips and tricks from experienced "builders" would be much appreciated as well. My thoughts are as follows: 19/3 frame Stock parts kit minus trigger Apex trigger (I've got one in another pistol and like it but am very open to suggestions) Stippling of some type, I may try it myself. ETS magazines Stock 19/3 slide Stock upper parts kit (for now) Window cut the front and cut for a mini dot Lone Wolf barrel, threaded A compensator of some type --- I'm totally lost on this one and have zero experience with comps on hand guns but will run this in some local games hence my wanting one. I'm for sure looking for recommendations on magwell and extended mag release. The magwell is not as tough, the mag release is. I dislocated my thumb some years ago and don't have full function. Pressing a release is tough on the standard size. Especially the 3's. On my 1911's I run a paddle release. I don't love it but it's what works for me. Color... Well, that's up in the air as well. We'll see how that rolls. Again I'm looking for suggestions on which way to proceed and which way to avoid. And, before it starts, this is not my first rodeo. I know about the pitfalls of building, the extra cost involved, etc. Additionally this will not be a HD gun. Essentially I have every avenue covered already and am in the toy buying phase. Thanks in advance for any help.

Indiana... There are states that only allow straight wall cartridges for hunting.

I have one but am all the way north from you in Bergen County. Drop me a PM if you like. Maybe we can figure something out.

Thank you Ray. That doesn’t address my question concerning competition though.

Isn't 40 a good option for competition or are the PCC's in a class of their own with no major/minor scoring? I'm generally confused about the match thing.

I saw that. But that's a Norinco. Not a Glock.

Where did you see/read that?

@Pizza Bob you are a fount of knowledge. Thank you.

Thanks what division will that fit?

How many rounds?

Actually Glock chose Chuck Norris for protection.

Yeah. I got some debris in my firing pin tunnel.

@njJoniGuy It was a pleasure meeting you as well. Thanks for putting on another great match. I always enjoy every minute of my time down there. Good to see @Iggyort as well.

Nappen isn't the only one. Scott Bach said as much in his intro speech to Cherry Ridge. My buddy and I looked at each other pretty incredulously. Then he said it again to make his point. I emailed him about it. He promised to be more cautious in his explanation. I've not sat in to check.

Awesome! Have fun y'all!!!

I wonder if they have tweaked the extractor. If they did, good for them. I had a Hawkeye Precision from a previous gen. Great gun. Awesome trigger. Long gone as at that time aftermarket was non-existent. Glad you had a good time with it.

How big were the targets? IMHO, not that it really means all that much, it's more the ammo than the rifle. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that they are solid guns. And I'm not trying to play down the fact that the precision rifle segment has gotten so very awesome in the past 3 years. However, 6.5 ballistics are almost like cheating, especially in the PRC case. I also don't understand why Ruger continues with the CRF? In a hunting gun, it makes a ton of sense. In a precision gun, not so much. Why...? (for those that DON'T actually worry about this insane minutiae)Because in a hunting situation, the rifle may have to be used in an awkward position or may get dropped in the act of loading a round in the chamber for an initial or follow up shot. In a precision situation, you'll most likely be pretty stable. Also, CRF (Controlled Round Feed) normally does not allow one to load on the feedlips of the magazine. The extractor is not designed to "snap" over the rim of the case. So the box has to be pulled, round inserted, then load/fire. On a push feed, single rounds can be, essentially, thrown in to the action. The bolt is closed and the extractor pops over the case rim. In a hasty "I need to put another round down range" situation, push feed is a good bit handier. I've owned both Rugers with CRF and push feed actions. In my particular "game" which is FT/R, push feed gets the nod. At least Ruger finally got rid of the proprietary rings that did not allow enough elevation. One small step for Ruger.... One giant leap for the shooting sports!!! Robert Vestals has documentation of shooting a 6.5x47Lapua to a mile. I believe he was shooting the 140Hybrid. Thats a big bullet in a little case moving really well. Shooter was a 15 or 16 years old or somesuch.

It certainly got a bit cooler

Exactly my experience also.

I don’t want to hear this.... lalalalalalalalalalalalalLALALALALALALALAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

9mm revolver... SP101. I have one and it's a hoot to shoot. I suck with it but I like it a lot. 22 revolver: S&W 617. I'm a fan. 9mm bottom feeder: CZP01. @remixer got me mine several years ago. Great gun. Almost as light as a "plastic-fantastic" with reliability that can't really be beat. I cannot recommend them enough. 22 bottom feeder: I like the Ruger Mk pistols. One day I'll own one. I rarely shoot 22. Hence my not owning one. Good luck.

This guy has great perspective on 1911's. Trust me on this.

I have a PA red dot. For my needs, it's perfect. The reason I have it... I purchased something similar to the scope you're looking at. There was something wrong with the reticle. I sent it to PA and after they looked at it, they called me and told me they can't fix it and they don't carry it any longer. They gave me (the guy that bought it used) a credit toward a new scope. Customer service like that is much better than almost anything, to me. Good luck.
