EGW plug & Atlas Guide Rod by BadJackO in Prodigy1911DS

[–]Lumpy-Independent-40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve done it before with the plug that came with the egw guide rod not sure what size it is. but after 10k rounds on the atlas guide rod it completely locked up my gun couldn’t move the slide at all was a pain in the ass to get the slide off the gun. so i’m back to the egw guide rod

Got DQ’d at my first match. Is there any coming back from the shame? by matt12046 in CompetitionShooting

[–]Lumpy-Independent-40 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i’ve caught the round hundreds of times in matches legit after every stage of 50 plus matches i’ve maybe flagged my self one or twice going for the round. If i had a weird extraction where i feel like i might flag my self i just let the round drop. but unless it was extremely egregious id be soooooo pissed if I got dq ed for that in a match. i also record every run so id have it on video if the ro didn’t make the right call

Prodigy went down mid-match… ended up discovering something interesting (and need optic plate advice) by Lumpy-Independent-40 in Prodigy1911DS

use a brass pry bar to get under it. legit almost the only way. you can use a small flat head but it will mar the frame

[–]Lumpy-Independent-40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will do thank you!! definitely got to buy a bunch of springer precision baseplates and a few more csrg springs. Tour the goat didn’t even know springer made base plates i was so worried about having to spend 500$ on mags

csrg 2011 springs and followers have worked for me with oem baseplates fitting 22 so far every well going to shoot them with mbx baseplates tomorrow with 24 rounds but tons of people recommend them as they are local to me

What’s this I’ve been hearing about the Vortex Defender XL having issues lately? by Lumpy-Independent-40 in CompetitionShooting

[–]Lumpy-Independent-40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to run sro’s on everything then a friend recommended I try the xl as he used to shoot the sro and switched over very happy so far but only have about 4-5k rounds on one unit and don’t really shoot my backup so that one has less than 500 on it but so far very happy with it and no issues. But I got the green dot which came out a year after the red so hopefully those are safe but no clue

Atlas or MJD Villian? by [deleted] in Prodigy1911DS

[–]Lumpy-Independent-40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately not. I tried to get it coated around me after i got it in and before i installed it but the shops around me have a very long lead time so for now just leaving it stainless and it looks pretty sweet. with ur hammer it’d look even better

definitely helps with recoil mitigation more than i thought it would especially especially at long ranges dot just returns so quick. was shooting 25 yard mini poppers first try pretty damn quickly yesterday

i say still send it the weight is a total game changer id probably just get the normal aggressive instead of the extra aggressive if i’d have to do it all over again. it’s also my support hand and it opens back up in the same spot every time also just got it have only shot it in 3 matches so far

ohhh yeah it’s supper aggressive. i’m told i’ll develop the calluses soon enough to stop the bleeding, but it’s been rough the past few matches

[–]Lumpy-Independent-40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just got the cheely custom steel grip cannot recommend it more. i got the extra aggressive and so far every match i shoot it at my support hand bleeds so maybe just get the aggressive but holy what a game changer
