Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. I'd rec'd getting a plate system so you're not stuck with a single optic mounting pattern should you choose to switch down the road (say from your 507k to SRO). If funds allow, buy a new complete upper to do it with. The one downside is an ever so slightly "taller" optic but totally worth the ability to swap out optics via different plate. (Others may likely tell you the exact height decrease if you choose a direct slide mount vs plate system)
  2. Holy smokes. That's 1k reps per session @ 5 times a week? Popeye fingers for sure! It's a small price to pay for that much dry-firing. I may get 1k dryfire pulls in a single year.
  3. If your wallet can handle it, do it! Personally I feel it's a good idea to have an identical backup gun (and parts for the easy repairs). I think this also depends on how serious you are in USPSA (or want to be). I've only been a competitor in level 1 matches but hope to step up to major matches relatively soon (Wish I had more time!). If you need to travel for majors, you'll likely need to pay your way there (match fees, lodging, time taken off, etc.) and so I think it's wise to bring a backup in case your main breaks down during the match for whatever reason.
  4. Hey guys. Sooo...I just got a P365 and was doing a complete strip of the firearm and lost my striker safety spring (That's a story for another day...). Does anyone know where to find a replacement spring without buying the striker safety as well? I have signed up to multiple websites to notify me when the striker safety + spring is back in stock but none have them in stock currently. I do have a pretty extensive hardware store nearby so specs on the spring would be great too (length, OD, thickness of the coil, # of coils, and this could be a far reach but spring stiffness in lb/in?). As a sidenote, I currently have a reduced power CZ firing pin block safety spring (from CGW) in the firearm. It fits in the groove of the striker safety perfectly and does also provide enough spring force down in order to block the striker if an inadvertent drop+slip of the sear+striker assembly occurs. I did email SIG and asked to see if they would be willing to send the spring itself but I haven't heard back from them yet. I appreciate all the advice in making sure I am careful, have the appropriate tools/workspace/lighting/white towel/etc. This was a one-off situation where parts went flying all over the garage floor... Thanks! Chris
  5. Yes, legal. USPSA Rulebook Appendix D4, 21.6:
  6. I don't see why not. It'll only increase ignition reliability over the stock firing pin spring
  7. This may not be it but I figure I can mention it since it hasn't been yet - the inside of the mag and follower can be dirty and need some cleaning. I've had dirt/crud get into the mag and the follower starts dragging up the mag.
  8. I highly doubt it. I would say reliable ignition is mostly based on your firing pin length (extended or not), the firing pin spring (reduced or factory), and hammer spring.
  9. Any issues with using an ultrasonic cleaner? Maybe a bit overkill but it can't hurt...?
  10. Awesome. Thanks a ton. I haven’t been as aggressive and want to see if I can shave off more.
  11. Does anyone have pictures of their TTI or TF extension where they filed? I've done the follower modification but it seems to still hang up on my TF basepad around round 35/36. Thanks, Chris
  12. I didn't need to use a vise to install the H-pins from CGW into multiple factory hammers or multiple CGW disconnectors. I haven't needed to use anything other than a punch. Getting factory pins out of the hammer is another story...
  13. Any news on these? I haven’t seen anything on CGWs website.
  14. I would also look into getting the SRS-1 kit from CGW in addition to what others have mentioned here (darn that firing pin block).
  15. If the only difference is a better installation experience and not a whole lot of performance increase, I'd say their now "old" triggers are a bargain!
