A big thank you goes out to Sinus211 for picking up my new 550B and other goodies from marcusp323 while he was down at the Puyallup show today. I can't wait to put this to work next week making 9mm. I also brought home a new safe to stash my non hazmat reloading supplies in. Best part is it came with box's of ammo and AR parts. I gave the HST ammo to my brother for helping me bring the thing home.
Cheers bud! Enjoy the new setup and post some pics once you get it up and running.
Stopped by a fave LGS for a brief bit. Turns out they just got in a Ruger LC Carbine in 45ACP. One of the things that caught my eye was the extractor. You can see it in the following vid between 10:20 and about 10:32:

I bought I think around 500 targets, NRA B-6 with red bulls eye. But the rest is black. Very black. And my eyes are getting older.
So the G23 got Ameriglo tritium sights. Rear sight is black with 2 dots and front has a bright orange ring around the dot. I have these sights on my G29 and love them.
Old eyes + fresh black rear sight + black target = couldn't see shit.
So I flung some ammo at them. The G21 has old sights with some shiny wear spots and that helped align the sights. But I was lost with the G23.
I mostly went for a function check. Both functioned fine. The new HST .40 went through both the G23 and my current carry G22 without any hiccups. _________________________
Ordered a Glock Performance Trigger that is Gen 4 compatible. Not sure what I will install it on. I have Gen 4 22, 23 and Glone Wolf G19 that is partially Gen 4 compatible.
Whatever it goes on I will not carry. So if I put it on my Gen 4 G22 that means my G22 RTF with gills remains my night stand gun and carry gun if I choose not to take the G23.
Might have to buy another Glock. LoL _____________________
629 still hasn't been shipped. Have to do that this week.

Yup. Been there.
I use two kinds of targets now for handgun shooting:
- Cheap paper plate with a black spot (Sharpie) in the center. - My home-printed targets that have four 4-inch circles on them, plus a number at the center of each circle. (Knock-off of NRA pistol qual targets.)
Both of these are easy to see and use. If you want the file for the targets, let me know.

I have several hundred targets that I may or may not have printed with permission at work LoL. I will go back to using those.
This morning I had a thought. I had a Glock 20 Gen 2 that I bought as a package with a G29. The G29 shot naturally accurate for me. The G20 wpupd give me a shotgun pattern. It was me. Others shot that G20 just fine.
Now I've got this G21 and it shoots like any other Glock I own.
Go figure.
NWGunner. Don't worry no new Glocks for me today.... I'll need to make it work with what I've got.
