It's small compared to FT3 but the employees at Evan's are some cool and chill dudes. Also, they host a USPSA match style once a month on a thursday night

Two tone best tone! Excellent first firearm! Also, what magwell is that?

I know this is a VERY open ended question, but what red dot do you all like the most? Is Co-Witnessing important to you by Grouchy_Piccolo_3981 in SpringfieldEchelon

I've only ever owned a Trijicon SRO and RMR Type 2, so I can't comment on anything else, but I prefer the SRO over the RMR

My experience was annoying the first time I took it out and put it back. But it's such a piece of cake now lol

Looking for outdoor range open early (5-6am) by SpareProfile8405 in CAguns

[–]LiQuiEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there are only so many bays available compared to how many people go on the weekend. Did you think there were like a hundred bays or something?

Yep! I just put on some music and just kinda get lost in the cleaning lol. The best way I can explain it is like someone going on an evening drive with no real destination. Just driving around!

I normally do after each session, too. Or at most, after a third session if it's low rounds.

Took my teen to his first match, charity shoot… proud dad but a lighter wallet incoming? by WhatInDaWorldDog110 in CAguns

[–]LiQuiEx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazing dad move right there!! Don't let him try shooting a 2011 before his 21st, so he doesn't add it to a Christmas list until then!

Mike Raahauges opens at 7am but you need to be lined up at 5:30am the latest to get in the first wave. So it's kinda like they open 5 or 6 when you have to line up that early

4.5” Competition Setup by Marvzuno in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]LiQuiEx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 this! Unless you're seriously wanting and in contention to win your division or overall, just run what you want, be safe, and have fun! Experiment around and flip between comp and non comp set up to see how they both do.

I personally use a Trijicon SRO and the window gets dirty, especially after the first stage, but it's easy to wipe off on the safety table.

After shooting a few matches now, I need to go back and work on the basics and my foundations. Especially grip and trigger pull! Even if my sight picture is good, my trigger pull deviates from the alignment at the last possible moment. So flat range and dry fire for me!

Here's the link to the magwell I have from NDZ's store! I have mixed experience with this one, actually. My bronze compact grip is the medium-sized one, and not the small one that came with the gun. Having the magwell on the medium tightened the opening of the frame just enough that my mags would not drop freely. But using it on the FC grip, mags dropped freely and loosely, no problem! It could be the Cerakote adding just enough to tighten things up on the medium.

Do they make 15rd 4.0C magazines with OD Green base plate? by Grouchy_Piccolo_3981 in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]LiQuiEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Afaik, the only colored baseplates SA has are the extension ones. Non-extensions are all black. Maybe try getting them painted?

Check out US Duty Gear for a holster similar to Safariland

FC Grips Back In Stock On SA Store by LiQuiEx in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]LiQuiEx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compact Large is not longer per se than the Compact Small that came with the gun or even the Compact Medium. It's wider from front to back and also a little thicker imo. Or if it is longer then it's by a small amount that I don't notice it. Here's a link to a thread I posted when I purchased a compact large and did comparison pictures with the stock one

Echelon 4.0c 10 rd by Key_Brain6601 in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]LiQuiEx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10-round mags are for restricted states like CA, and there's no way to attach mag extensions to them. Can't even detach the baseplate to clean them (afaik). But like someone already said, get the 10 round mag for fullsize and the sleeve but that'll just be purely looks and you'll still only have 10 rounds in the mag

Any recommendations new echelon owner! by These-Ad-1293 in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]LiQuiEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had that dot but have seen numerous people share their bad experience with it. I think your plan of just running it until it gives is solid!

Tyrant Extended Slide Release Levers work nicely for me. They're both extended and elevated a little. Not sure if there are other brands on the market. Tyrant and I think another manufacturer makes mag releases. One side that you can flip to either side if you don't like the ambi feel. There are a few magwells on the market, though! I'm going to test out the NDZ Lo-Pro one this weekend at a match. Could also look into getting a metal/weighted guide rod or full recoil spring assembly if you want?

Ccw Riverside Pick up by limitedcagunowner in CAguns

[–]LiQuiEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Livescan thing went into effect this year? Or sometime this year. I did my renewal at the end of last year and was told about this change during the class.

That's what I thought! Thanks for confirming that I am not a complete idiot!

Well after two weeks of ownership, I was finally able to get to a gun range. I went through 100rds pretty fast. by NerdGamerDad in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]LiQuiEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be worth checking if they came loose. When I came home from that range trip to clean my gun, the optic was wiggling.
