Guess I'm A Gamer Now...

[Matt in TN]

I've been studying my match videos this year, and one thing I keep seeing over and over is that my pistol reloads are slow and I do them way too often (10rd mags in a G30). I'm practicing my reload speed, and I can't quite bring myself to give up the .45ACP, so I came across this little gem used yesterday...



+4 basepads are coming. 17+1 rds of .45ACP just sounds good!

30rd Kriss Extension! Lol

18 rounds of .45 does sound very nice.

I've been thinking of getting one of these for a nightstand gun. High capacity .45acp, striker fired, no manual safety, long sight radius. What's not to like?

Surely someone can take a Thompson drum & modify it with a glock upper?

I like how you think, but I've got to stay under 170mm total or they won't let me play their game.

140 for double stack mags and 170 for single stack mags....gamer? Looks very nice.

Oops - I meant 140mm. Thanks!

Pretty soon I won't have any more excuses...

As long as we're talking millimeters, where on earth did those standards (the 140/170mm mag limits) come from? I understand they're from USPSA, but why did USPSA choose those numbers? Those seem pretty random. Edited October 17, 2015 by Matt in TN

My sarcasm tells me to say that they measured a glock 19, the only pistol anyone would ever want to use, and just wrote down the values.

 

They are not even inch values converted (140 is 5.5, but 170 is 6.7, meaningless really).   My best guess is that for real they took some real world pistols and measured them,  then rounded it up or something to the nearest mm.

Matt,
It's what sti/svi use in wide body mags. The 170 is single stack 10 round 45 mags from Wilson/tripp

That makes sense - thanks Alan!

When I read the title...., my heart skipped a beat.  :eek:

 

I had this premonition that you had retired the FAL and was going to an AR with a .300 BLK load that would still make the power factor for IMF Heavy Metal.

Shut your mouth, man! I won't even shoot light bullets in the FAL. ;-)

After a not-so-hot experience with a G21SF I was a little nervous about this one.  I'm happy to report it runs great and is every bit as accurate as my good old G30.  These were consecutive groups shot freestyle today at 10 yds:

 

 

if I could just stop jerking the trigger I'd have some really nice groups...
