fine gravel , its at the 100 metre range at my club .
Oh, good. Also, looking nice and smooth.
On ya Stumpy.
You should put more in each mag :thumbsup:
Good work stumpy.
Try them with Double Taps.
Cheers
Pete
Triple taps Pete. We should get Stumpy standing on the range reciting "heart, heart, head" with every quick three round volley group. You never know, the CIA might pick him up as a black ops agent.Quote:

with the glock gen 3 , the slide release is very close to the body and the mag release is low profile....

I can buy extended mag and slide release , ..... but , not yet .....
Agree, I'm struggling with the production mag release in the G17!Quote:

Try using your left thumb to depress the slide stop lever. As someone who also suffers from short fingers, I find it to be smooth and fast.Quote:

Do you ever break any mags dumping them like that?
nope the glock ones seem quite strong , ... my gsg .22 ones fly apart when they hit the ground , my sig ones are all steel .... strong as
Looking good, smooth is fast :thumbsup:
Did you time them ? You'll shave a lot off if you can get a way to work the slide release while you start to index on the target.
Have you sorted out the programming on your leg for kneeling ?
kneeling will forever be a black art of "falling"
Shit hot mate.....much smoother than I ever achieved.....+1
Hehe, think of it as controlled falling :DQuote:

Cheap, good stuff and arrived really quick. Was about 18 months ago. I don’t use it much now (prefer the shadow), but the tape is still on strong, and makes a whole world of difference.
So I got the –
LWD-1981BJ11 LWD Extended Magazine Release 17 $3.69
And I got both sets of tape here but cant remember which one is on it.-
RYG-RPTBLK-17_22 Black Glock Raptor Grips Sand $9.45
DG-G17FGSBF2 Decal Grip G17 $11.49
Not bad for the first time,at a match you would be DQ for pointing the barrel over the boom ( pointing to high) be carefull !Quote:

Keep it up Blair.
Not bad? I thought it was bloody slick. I doubt very much that was his first time.Quote:

Sideways 180 does not depend on letting off a shot. If the muzzle points in the wrong direction you're gone burger.
Up in terms of the backstop or berm I suspect it depends on the range standing orders. And again, it generally does not depend on you letting off a shot. What if you have an accidental discharge and the firearm is pointing over the top of the berm ?
Exactly,pointing alone is a DQ offence,no need to fire the shot! Judging and looking at the vid he is pointing very high at the mag change,no criticism just an observation. I'm a national IPSC range officer and former master grade shooter,I would have pointed that out right away to any novice shooter, after all we are here to help and keep each other safe! Nice mag change,keep it up and be safe!Quote:

Reason I am being picky on this is because I told Stumpy to get that gun pointed up high! Always best to see the side of your magwell as a target for getting the mag in there quick!
Personally I lift and twist towards me to see into the magwell while driving the new mag in...... Haven't ever broken 180 - touch wood :thumbsup:
Testing my new camera. Mostly reloads with a bit of speed steel at the end.
