Just watched a video on that subject.

Enjoyed that video, good to see someone talking about it and trying to get to some common understandings.

Anyone know if someone's making an Aimpoint COA plate for Staccatos?

I called forward control designs today to ask that. They said the way they have to mill the slides for it a plate will be very difficult, substantial higher than other sights, and not something they plan to offer soon if ever.

I haven't been able to find anyone who will do a coa cut on a non Glock. Been looking since SHOT

That's a bummer. FCD puts out some really excellent work, too. But it makes sense.

Hmm ... Form seemed to suggest that someone would do it ... maybe hit him up directly?

For anyone looking for wood grips, I’ve used 2 different brands, and wanted to offer a comparison.

First is Wood Caliber walnut in their “combat checkering” pattern.
-these have a nice sharp 20LPI checkering pattern that carries very easily against skin and clothes. They handle well in dry conditions, and look awesome. Really nice fit/finish.
-Only drawback is they start getting slick when any moisture gets on your hands.


Since I’ve been shooting in a lot of rain lately, I wanted to see if there was a more aggressive set of wood grips. A retired FBI agent I met at work told me about a company out of Twin Falls Idaho called Herrett’s stocks.

I looked through their website and decided to take a flyer on a set.
- they are 16LPI, and feel similar to a barbell with new sharp knurling.
- shot in the rain today, and they stayed well planted.
-they are slightly thinner than the wood caliber grips.
-tbd if they snag on clothes. But I’m not expecting any issues.

Nice to have options for anyone in the market
