Probably going to mount the sight on something else, and keep the top end around, just for the hell of it.

Grams makes good stuff, but I prefer the Dawsons.

9mm cannot make Major per the current USPSA rules or so I have been told.(else I would be shooting Limited w/ My glock)

I have heard very good things about Tripp's plating work, just that they have a tendancy to take a little while.

Good Times.
9mm is allowed for Major in Open. Many of the open guys are using 9mm now instead of .38 because of the brass costs. Buy once-fired for $10-$12 a thousand, and leave it. You would need a spacer in your open mags and load those 9's pretty long, about 1.169 or so.

I'm loading 180gr West Coast Plated over 5gr VV N320 at 1.200 OAL. Its a sweet load for this pistol.

You can shoot Limited with your glock, just shoot A's.

Beven Grams does really good work. He warrantees his basepads for life against breakage, plus his mag tuning work is sweet. I haven't seen where anyone else guarantees their work on tuning/parts like he does. Plus, he is a super guy to deal with.
