To round out my shooting options on the Glock 20C, I ordered a stock 10mm non-compensated barrel. It arrived today. That gives me compensated 10mm, non-compensated 10mm and non-compensated 40S&W, all from the same pistol.<\/p>\n

I also received an extended magazine release. I found that I struggled a little with the mag release during reloads. Hopefully, this addresses that and maybe I’m done customizing the Glock for a while.<\/p>\n

I also got my target paster tapes and a spiffy nylon case<\/a> for carrying the IDPA targets. For my home range purposes, I need to make a couple or three bases to attach them to. I don’t suppose they really need to be a durable as the ones the club has, so 2×4 construction should be fine and pretty cheap, too.<\/p>\n

There is a spot on the east side of my pond where there is a dam that makes a pretty decent backstop for casual plinking.<\/p>\n

Since IDPA targets are typically configured to approximate the height of a person, I need to measure the height of the dam to see if there is enough safety margin for shooting at taller targets. Luckily, I have the technology.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

At some point, I’d like to put a load of road bed out there to make a nice level (or near level, with drainage) spot for shooting and recovering fired brass, but winter and spring rains can be pretty floody back there…<\/p>\n
