I have Sevigny Competition sights on my Glock 34. I'll research it to make sure, but I could almost swear that the Comps are a .150 rear/.115 front combo (much more than a .005 difference). The Sevigny Comps have a perfect sight picture on a G34, IMO. Also, the daylight will vary with sight radius. In other words, the longer the barrel, the thinner the front sight will appear. I'll double check everything, though.

Enos' website goes into uber-detail about accessories, parts, etc. Have a question about an option? His FAQs will link you to a three page thread on his forum about the subject. He also offers package deals that Dillon doesn't. As David said, you can even talk to the man himself, and he's a straight shooter. The only drawback to ordering one from him is that you will not automatically get signed up for Dillon's monthly Blue Press, but this can be remedied with a quick call to Dillon Precision.

What "fixins" did you get? I started to get the roller handle, but decided not to since I take my hand away from it to pick up a new case. I love the cartridge bin & bracket (about $25, IIRC), but it's not needed if you get a casefeeder. I thought of the allen wrench set and mounting bracket as more of a novelty, but got it anyway and have been thrilled that I went ahead and got it. It's handy as hell. The powder warning system is a waste to me, since it's right in front of your face. I never let my powder get less than 2" from the top anyway. MemphisMechanic recently bragged to me that he loaded 1000 rounds in 48 minutes with his 650 w/ casefeeder (after he had filled 10 primer tubes). Here's a sample of him and his 650: The 550 is slower than a 650, but it's no big deal to me. You can run out of components quickly with either one.

agreed...even the shipping is a good deal.

shipping?

I may be a bit leary of the earlier M&Ps, but a used Glock is just about as good as a new one. I wouldn't be afraid of a used one from Summit.

SIG SAUER P6 9MM : Semi-auto at GunBroker.com SIG SAUER P6 9MM (9 MM, LIKE P225 225) IN BOX : Semi-auto at GunBroker.com

In that case, I'd look for a used Glock 19 or Smith M&P. Either are 10X the gun as any in your original post. Also, if they are still available, a SIG P6 (aka SIG 225) may be just the ticket.

If you want more daylight on each side of the front sight, check Ameriglo. They have all kinds of options. They have always been cheaper when I call and talk to them. Ameriglo My Glock 19, which serves as my carry gun 90% of the time, wears one of their plain back rear "Combat" sights w/ a .200" rear opening and a .125" front tritium sight. There's LOTS of daylight, maybe a bit too much. IIRC, their "Pro Series" rear sights have .180" rear notches, and they are a perfect match for the .125" front, IMO. Don't be afraid to call them--they are very friendly.

The plain-jane $25 Uncle Mike's kydex/plastic paddle holsters seem to work well for women. They are illegal in IDPA for men (due to excessive offset), but women are good-to-go.

MO State Championship this past weekend. I'm the lefty in the black DP hat and green vest, and MemphisMechanic is the lefty in the camo vest. Charles Parisi ran a great match

I'm still debating whether or not to go. I came close to getting bumped up in ESP in MO this weekend, and felt I shot pretty good. I kinda want to go to Manchester while I'm still "warm."

Baloney. MSSA is only 5 minutes away...

STI Trojan--there is no other.

2000 Kawasaki ZR-7 and a 2004 250 Ninja. Probably gonna sell both soon--just don't have time to ride any more; haven't really decided yet. If the price is right, I may include the blond with the 250.

Good luck to your friend and my prayers are with him. Don't hesitate to call Carolyn Chambers--if she is who I remember, she's a great lady, and will be lots of help. Head injuries are so unpredictable. If the brain swelling went down before they had to remove any skull, that's a great sign.

Canyn, no need to unload lots of $$ on a scope just yet--that Tracker will do well for a while. I bought one of these back in the mid-90s, and I think I paid ~$150 for it new. I wasn't overly impressed with it, but it served me well. It was extremely durable, but the glass could have been better--it wasn't the brighest scope I'd ever used. My dad ended up with one, and his seemed brighter, though. Now, my deer rifle has a Redfield Low Profile Widefield 3-9, and it's on par with a Leupold VX-II series. If you do upgrade, I'd look at Leupold before anything else.

I've never used them, but a friend recently bought some from CTD--2" 00 buck w/ 6 pellets. I thought they would be mousefarts, but he said they thumped on both ends. He has a new 8-shot Mossberg 500, and they fed without a problem.

I wonder what "lightly used" means? I wouldn't be suprised if Glock considers <5000 rounds to be lightly used. I bet the used replacement barrel will do well.

442/642, definitely. The Ruger cannot do anything better than the Smith, but does offer potential bugs (recalls), fewer available holsters/accessories, and the undisputed title of ugliest gun ever made.

That was an entertaining series of videos, especially the one about the "squirrel rifle."

??? 3.2 grains of TG barely makes power factor out of my Glock 34.
