Any time. Thus, the Gen. 3 guns have the silly "loaded chamber indicator" extractor and the "target" grips (finger grooves/dimples on each side). Many features are laughable, but serve an important purpose, as dictated by the BATF. How would you like to see one of the "cheap" rear sights the guns are imported with? As if the craptastic stock sights aren't cheap enough!

from glockfaq: What is the BATF points system and how does it affect Glocks? Many of the Glock's parts and sometimes the whole gun are dictated or limited by the BATF's system of "import points". To qualify for import a pistol must score 75 points based on the following system: CharacteristicPointsLength: for each 1/4" over 6" 1 Forged steel frame 15 Forged HTS alloy frame 20 Unloaded weight w/mag (per oz.)1.22 short and .25 auto 0 .22 LR and 7.65mm to .380 auto 3 9mm parabellum and over 10 Locked breech mechanism 5 Loaded chamber indicator 5 Grip safety 3 Magazine safety 5 Firing pin block or lock 10 External hammer 2 Double action 10 Drift adjustable target sight 5 Click adjustable target sight 10 Target grips 5 Target trigger 2 For example, here is how the G17 scores: Length (7.28") 5 Weight (24.79oz) 25 Caliber (9mm)10 Locked breech 5 Firing pin block 10 Double action 10 Target sight 10 Target grips 5 Total80 Here is how the Glock 26 scores: Length (6.29") 1 Weight (21.87oz) 22 Caliber (9mm) 10 Locked breech 5 Firing pin block 10 Double action 10 Target sight 10 Target grips 5 Target trigger 2 Total 75 Changes and features made to Glocks to comply with the BATF rules: - all models are imported with a cheap click-adjustable rear sight that is replaced at the factory with the stock sight - target (grooved) trigger added to compacts & subcompacts - target grips added to all models (required for the subcompacts) - due to their caliber, .380 autos (G25 & G28) do not score enough points to be imported

I doubt that you will have any feeding issues with your AK, but the SPs are probably a good all around choice.

Importation rules will never allow that to happen.

They'll get promptly thrown out of an IDPA match if they pull that crap...

Sorry Tungsten--my wife never returned my call, and my aunt is in the process of moving from Knoxville to Chicago (can't explain that one).

no it won't--it's one of the new canynracer series assproof tactical Glock 34s!

but then the cops may see my G34...besides, I've lost weight since that pic was taken.

Keep in mind that parks are off-limits for concealed carry (or open). This may turn off some otherwise interested folks.

My wife and aunt both work at the VA--I'll make some phone calls and see if I can get anywhere.

So who was "triggertime?"

Tom is a nice guy.

Wow. What about the camerman and anybody else behind the shooter who get swept every time the shooter does the tactical cartwheel?

While you are on Comp-Tac's website, check out the CTAC as well. How are you built? Not trying to ruffle any feathers or offend anyone, but it seems that guys who complain about the CTAC being uncomfortable are the ones who are, shall we say, portly. Also, some have commented that the big leather layer on the MTAC causes them to sweat more in the summer. I use the CTAC, and have been happy with it. I'm not advocating one over the other, just trying to provide more info. I see you're in Memphis--if you could go to RangeUSA on Tuesday nights for their IDPA match or Rangemaster on Friday nights, you could probably see an example of both.

but they don't have Tom Givens

+1 I probably smart off more than the average TGOer when provoked. More than once, I've speculated that Mars would get out the KY and Viagra every time he read about some clueless cop shooting himself in the ass with a Glock. It was intended to be a harmless jab at his age, but I wish I could take back some of those comments. You never what your words will do. I should probably tone it down, too. On the other hand, I think Mars would scoff if he heard all this talk about polite, courteous posts. Maybe, in his memory, we should continue posting like there are "commies coming over the berm."

Five broken ribs? Ouch. I fell off a ladder once and broke one, and that only hurt when I inhaled for about a month. If I quit breathing, it felt great. That had side effects, though. I couldn't imagine five. Get well soon!

I've seen it 20 or 30 times before, but it gets better every time!

Not a problem, as long as they have fully supported chambers...

+1 We disagreed a lot, but I always looked forward to his posts. He will be missed.

IDPA stages are limited only by the imagination of the guy who sets up the stage. Many of our stages offer the shooter several choices and options on how to solve the stage. Every once in a while, after watching somebody else shoot a stage, I smack myself in the forehead and think, "Why didn't I think of that?" I agree with you, I sometimes get tired of the stages where everyone does exactly the same thing. We don't have as many of these of some, though.

If that thug with a knife 10 feet away is me, you won't get a chance to draw your weapon, much less tap-rack-bang. But I agree, double strike capability is highly overrated.

One Glock 23+one Glock 19=$1000. One Glock 23+one Lone Wolf barrel+two Glock 19 mags=$636. $364 is more than a little cash to me.

+1 verbal and nate. DO NOT use a factory 9mm barrel in a SIG or a Glock. I have a Lone Wolf 9mm barrel for my G23, and have been happy with it. Some people need to change the ejector with a conversion barrel, but mine ran fine. G23 mags will probably not work with 9mm ammo.

??? been trying to make Master for almost a year. Consequently, I shot a classifier yesterday and am now an ESP Expert (just couldn't shoot that 89 second classifier). If I make it to Manchester next month, I'll shoot as an SSP Master. In November in Mississippi, I'll probably play w/ the ESP folks.
