Tyson Rowe called us a year ago asking if our 129.5mm floorplate would work on the M&P 9C. Other than a little initial rubbing against the grip key, here’s the result:
Its been a little over a year now that I installed your three round extension on my Smith & Wesson 9c, and all is well. I’ve never had any issues with it whatsoever and believe I may have sold a few of them on my Facebook group. (Lol) Keep up the great work sir. Tyson Rowe.
Team Gotta met up with Renton Steel Dragons at the ISSA Washington State Steel Championship in Ephrata, Wash in September. In typical style, the team did extremely well. Some highlights: Keith Neher won Open division, Coach Robin Taylor took second in limited, narrowly beating 18-year-old Adam Thomas at third! Zane Coffey took 4th overall in Iron Sight rimfire, followed a string of other strong performances by “the new guys” on the squad.
This was our first experience with the brand-new ISSA (www.internationalsteelshoot.com) — and we enjoyed the format very much.
Our next big event will be hosting the SPP Washington Scrimmage on Nov. 15. Adults and youth are both welcome to participate!
As many of you know, we’re deeply involved in the “youth steel” movement. Robin Taylor 
just released his training “poster” that emulates what it looks like to shoot the courses of fire used in “SPP” competition. The poster is immense — 60 inches wide — and portrays what the SPP courses would look like if you were standing in the shooter’s box.
Jordon Castro and Adam Thomas point to this poster as an important part of their training. Castro and Thomas finished No. 1 and No. 2 at the 2014 SPP Junior/Senior nationals in Sparta, Ill. Castro set the course record, closely trailed by Thomas and their teammates on Washington’s “Team Gotta.”

Our HKP30 magwell took a big step forward today. What looks like brass (at left) is actually a stainless-bronze matrix. Lighter and stronger than bronze, slightly heavier than stainless, it should be ideal for the relatively light P30. We’ve got a couple little fixes to make first, but we’re confident enough to be able to show this to the public. If you’d like to get in line to get one of the first ones, e-mail us! at rtaylor (at) taylorfreelance.com .
This picture will need no explanation to serious USPSA/IPSC shooters. Our extended barrel conversion adapts the 5.88″ Lone Wolf threaded barrel for the Glock 35 to the common 4″-barrel Glock 22. The resulting pistol (what we call a “Glock 24-plus”) has the long sight radius of the G24, the medium slide weight of the Glock 35 (faster recovery), and a front sight behavior like no other Glock in production.
We received the first batch of the “G” model shroud today. Speaking about the “G” prototype, Robin Taylor says 165-grain bullets at just over 1000 fps worked “slick”– but he’ll be experimenting with cast lead 175s at just under 1000. “Nobody shoots cast lead as their first choice, but given the price of bullets these days, the ability to use cast lead is another selling point that sets this system apart,” says Taylor. “Normal Glocks can’t use cast lead bullets safely — but this one can. It’s another reason to call this a G24-plus.”
