[HICKMAN]

where were you? You have an obligation to defend the title?

knee blew up walking down the stairs... I was on my ass with a bag of frozen peas most of the weekend. Didn't even go fishing...

money's still tight, hoping to be there next month.

 

[bwframe]

Are you sure there wasn't a mix up in score sheets in open

OOO well at least I got beat by a guy that has a cool last name.

Daturbocat is fast.

just glad he's not beating up on all the Production shooters!

I talked to him, after his first stage. He had a big ol' eating grin on his face. First match for the open Glock and for him shooting a dot sight. He said it felt pretty natural...

I shot the big bullets!

Which equated to $65.16 for ammunition! D'OH!!

Sitting on a bag of frozen peas will make your ass look like a gigantic golf ball

Now you've got Jacob McAdams for that.

Experience or vivid imagination?

Gigantic being the key word...

I agree... Cool last name!

My first match shooting open was definitely a learning experience. The glock did it's job. I have to learn to try and keep up with it. The mental part of the game was lacking on my part. The only reason I won open is because I had 97.6% of the available points. Check out my times. (A-59795) They were way slower than the others!

I am happy the gun ran well. I spent a lot of hours building it myself over the winter. It was quite a bit more work than I thought it would be. It is definitely a small personal victory to see it run through a whole match. I look forward to the next one!

 

[HICKMAN]

Mark, how about some details on this Open Glock of yours?

I've been debating on doing one myself for at least a year now after seeing one of Whitlaw's boys shooting one.

 

[BillD]

Imagine that, A hits win a match...lol

good on ya Matt. Nice to see you at a match.

 

[HICKMAN]

Now you've got Jacob McAdams for that.

yeah, Armbrust and Jared Black have left me in the dust and Chun-yu has disappeared, so Jacob will be the one to chase.

 

[BillD]

Chun Yu is playing with computers, cameras and is stalking people who own really expensive sports cars.

Everyone needs a hobby, I guess....

 

[HICKMAN]

I know he is, I give him crap on Facebook too

 

[Willob]

This was only my second shoot and I really enjoyed it. Thanks to all of the regulars that gave good advice on how to run the stages and also some basic shooting info. I did improve some over the first shoot and I will be back. A big thank you to the set-up and tear-down crew.

Who's Mark?

Open Glock: (Glock 17)

SJC 11 port comp on KKM threaded barrel
SJC C-more mount (involves frame modification)
C-more and scopecoat
SJC heavy magwell
SJC slide racker
Reduced power recoil spring, striker spring, plunger spring
Heavier trigger spring
Tungsten guide rod
Titanium striker and plunger
Fulcrum trigger with 3.5# connector (all polished to mirror finish)
Tuned ejector and extractor
Lowered ejection port
Taylor Freelance 170mm mag extensions
Duracoat to touch up the exposed metal
DAA belt, mag pouches, and holster
Grip stippling

9mm major:
125 gr lead (to keep cost down) 1320 fps
7.5 gr HS-6
Federal primers
Max OAL
Min crimp

I did a lot of research, and this seems to be the best bang for the buck. I will say that the glock doesn't shoot as flat as the others, but I probably have a third as much money invested. I have a lot of hours building it and getting it to run consistently.

Sorry to hear about your knee HONKMAN. My name's Matt by the way... I am planning to shoot in Atlanta next Sunday if you want to check out the Open Glock.

 

[HICKMAN]

Who's Mark?

lol, didn't even realized I typed "the other glocker's" name

oops!

 

[rhino]

Now you've got Jacob McAdams for that.

He's fast!

Methinks I see another Bob Vogel/Daniel Horner IDPA shooter-turned-really-good-USPSA shooter emerging.

Hey Jake
It looks like the wheel and the trigger finger are doing alright

Yes, the foot held up, although I was very sore on Monday.

It very good to shoot again and I had a pretty decent match. I had a mike on the first stage that I didn't "see" and a weak hand only mike on the classifier.
My rear sight pin broke and was working it self out, that is what you see me pushing back in on the last stage during the reloadif I hadn't been screwing with that I would have been almost 2 seconds faster. .
