So, it was a six stage all-classifier. I was going to shoot my G19, but a friend who was going loaned me the top end off his G17, so I got to try the GPT trigger in my G17 frame at the match. I like it. When shooting on the clock, I don't even recall the trigger, so it was feels like it gets out of the way more than the factory trigger does. I also don't visually recall my sight picture for most of the match, either, and that was shooting irons. With any luck, this will be my last match shooting Limited for some time unless I specifically choose to. Carry Optics for me going forward!

I shot a lot better overall than I could have. I'm definitely seeing improvement. I don't get jitters, I don't get the heart rate and anxiety stuff anymore. My reloads are pretty fast and pretty clean, I think the biggest thing to work on is a repeatable draw and consistent grip, then getting as fast on the trigger as I can. Oh, and I definitely need some 'stendo baseplates. One of the stages was Righty Tighty (22-01), and I started left, went right, then advanced on the front targets for the last three shooting strong hand on the move. No misses, no no-shoots, 12 A, 5 C, 1 D, but my time wasn't amazing because I slide locked with one round left to put on the last target and it somehow caught me by surprise and I had to reload. I just didn't even think to count it up during the stage planning and loaded a 17rd mag in the gun. Roll Eyes

On that note, I've had two failures with Glock +2 baseplates and don't trust them anymore. One was dropping a loaded magazine on the bedroom floor and every last piece flying all over the room in a shower of ammo. Never did find the follower or the inner piece to the baseplate, even when we moved. Match before last, I dropped an empty out of my gun and when I picked it up, the baseplate had dislodged. That was on a fresh Gen 5 body, spring and follower, too. I got recommendations to buy the Taran baseplates from some of the guys, but I didn't feel like spending Taran Tactical bucks and ordered three Strike EMP's to try out. Yeah, I know, buy once, cry once and all that.

Taran Tactical has a 20% off sale for almost every holiday. Expect to see it around labor day.

Honestly, though, 21 round Glock PMAGs for $18 or whatever they charge are about a 90% solution for less than half the cost of most extensions.

Also not sure if you're a USPSA member, but if you aren't, check out hitfactor.info to look up current high hit factors for the classifiers you shot if you want to calculate what your classification would be.

Those P Mags are about what there is for a one piece 140mm. I don't understand why Glock brought out a 24 shot magazine, it is too long for IPSC or USPSA.
