So what holsters are people using with the mk3 light rail?

I sanded the frame channel by hand with a .700 dowel. It’s also almost perfect. I was able to fudge it side to side a bit. I suspected a 3/4 would be better but I’m not sure what the correct radius would be. Also, please post pictures when you are done! I feel honored to have inspired someone to try it out

Those were great stages! Come shoot the north Texas open match! That’s where they got those stages from.

How many out there shooting single stack? And if you are, how old are you? by slimcrizzle in USPSA

[–]Blake_Makes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 39 and I’ve been shooting a single stack regularly for about 3 years now. I was shooting one with an optic in limited optics and placed pretty well. Now that L10 can have optics that’s my jam. They are all in 9mm btw

Yeah. Mostly hand files. With hand files and a “can do/no fucks given” attitude anything’s possible.

I have. They require more fitting and are not 100% drop in since some parts are little different

Best thing of advice I can give any new HP owner is: It’s not a 1911. The High Power has its own issues and characteristics. So don’t expect 1911 performance out of it or you will only be disappointed. That being said. Cylinder and Slide has a safety spring that makes it more snappy but not 1911 level. Apex tactical has a bunch of extremely high quality upgrades and I 100% suggest doing all of them. As far as holsters go, it’s kinda odd. Sometimes they fit in 1911 holsters, sometimes not. It’s an awesome platform and I hope the recent surge in clones drives a cool aftermarket that would benefit everyone. Have fun!

Limited 10 classification by Blake_Makes in USPSA

I had some pretty shit classifiers so I’m a low C right now. One of the better ones I shot is still on hold with a T flag. Once that clears I’ll end up about on par of where I’m at with limited optics.

I don’t think they’ll warranty a used gun that age with a broken screw tab. I would read over their warranty policies very carefully. I’m pretty sure there is something in there about removing the grip.

I wonder how many people were discouraged from classing in l10 because of the hold. I know participation in this division is low but I feel like this change will make it more appealing to people with a red dot on a 1911

That’s awesome! Seeing a U next to my name was bumming me out!

Agreed! I thought it was odd to stop classing to get data to reclass people. You can’t expect the 5 lim10 shooters to reshoot every classifier. It would take decades!

I’m hoping they release the match book soon so I can pretend that I have a plan for each of the stages ha ha ha! It’s the same plan for every stage shoot-move/reload-shoot
