IT IS AMERICAN MADE!!!!<\/span><\/h3>\n

I have been using this barrel for two years. Both practice and in IPSC\/USPSA matches. No wear is evident even after 5,000 rounds. It is a very accurate barrel and I am more than happy with its performance.\u00a0 It truly was a drop in accessory, no need to file. Yet at 5,000 rounds it has gotten tighter as it has been used.\u00a0 Fit and finish are superb. I did use flitz polish on the feed ramp, chamber etc. But that was my preference.\u00a0 It can be had at various dealers by looking at \u00a0\u00a0The Official Website of Storm Lake Barrels<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Dawson Precision Fiber Optic Sights<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Glock 17<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Made in the U.S.A.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dawson Precision produces a CNC machined front and rear matching set of front and rear fiber optic sights. These sights feature a serrated front cut, tools and instructions.\u00a0 Replacing the non-adjustable rear stock sights was a breeze and having the adjustment will make the gun the most accurate for you.\u00a0 You will need Loctite, high strength Red for installation.\u00a0 I am more accurate with these sights as compared to the stock sights.<\/p>\n

Matt Burkette V.4 Shooting Faster DVD and<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Matt Burkette IPSC Strategy DVD<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n

Shooting Faster<\/b>, well when I look at my results compared to the top 3 shooters in my local production matches, I noticed something that sticks out. My times are twice as long as those shooters.\u00a0 My accuracy was within norms. Hence, I thought why not get myself this DVD for fathers day.\u00a0 I don’t have the time for a seminar, and training alone has not helped get my times down.\u00a0 First viewing, should have bought this a year ago. Matt speaks well, explains well. There are good drills, with another shooter who is not a GM. This is good , it takes the intimidation out of the training.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many Drills are discussed. Hand placement, Drawing, Stance, Things like cadence. Emphasis keeping that eye on the front sight through the recoil, and calling your shot. Learning how to save time, why you shoot an array a certain way. Body mechanics, and positioning. It offers a review of DVD #1,#2,#3. Very good DVD.<\/p>\n

IPSC Strategy,\u00a0<\/b>Yes Virginia there are tactics involved, and reasons why. This DVD breaks down stages in the walk through, Has Video of the Stage when run by Matt and his fellow shooters. Helmet cam gives you a birds eye view.\u00a0 So why do you shoot the popper to activate the swinger target first, and go after other targets in the array?? you will learn why and more tips in this DVD.<\/p>\n

Matt Burkette has other DVDs on Various USPSA and IPSC, Handguns, Shotguns, AR-15.\u00a0 I recommend these two right off the top.<\/p>\n
