read_the_wall 614 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 perfect.. That is very cool. Did you drill and tap a hole for the forward screw on the scope mount, or just go with the dovetail? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have friend who runs his the same way with no problems, just used alot of red locktite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
going12220 125 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 have you seen the new 22 round 40 cal mags? cdnn had them at a great price and I believe they're legal for open class / under 170mm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geepelton 105 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 That's cheaper than a mag extension. I will be looking to buy a couple of these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
magsite20 1,664 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Cool build. If I was starting over I would have used a model 22 and compensator for the build mainly because I believe you get better recoil reduction with a comp than porting. I had planned just going to limited not open but the dropping a red dot on the gun changed that status. Having the 24 with being able to easily change barrels between a 9mm and 40 S&W cal does give me a could of things and I like the 9mm on speed steel a little better than the 40. The other side of the coin is if you have to knock it down or off the power of the 40 beats the 9, I hate hitting a Texas star plate and it not fall.

I used mine in a 3gun last week and I did not so good with it. I was have a problem finding the dot on the initial draw, once I found it, It worked great. I just need to practice with it and I will be ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
magsite20 1,664 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Thanks. What I've seen on drawing and playing find the dot is I feel like I find it when the muzzle is pointed down somewhat. This comes I think from years of drawing and having the muzzle a little up to spot the front sight then bringing it down. So now when the gun is level it just feels like its still muzzle down. The fun of relearning to draw a gun and get it on target wow the fun never ends. Do you shoot speed steel, draw, 5 plates, and repeat 5 times its fun and with 4 or 5 stages you get a lot of practice drawing. Edited June 8, 2011 by 20-Mags Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geepelton 105 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I hear ya on the barrel pointing down, I feel like it's pointing way low. relearning is fun. I do have a steel match Sunday so I will get 25 at attempts at finding the dot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
