alfa75 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 After shooting for 2 years with different guns, I should choose 1 standart gun for ipsc,choose fields between tanfoglio limited custom (1492$) and sti edge.(2780$).After I have both of them in hand choice war easy, Tanfoglio had Much better trigger, MUCH better frame to slide fit, and I got an offer On STI trigger job for +400$ and total 3180$. Now my Tanfoglio has shot 85000 that has not changed any parts, and has play on frame to slide as a new STI edge. Tanfoglio got customers for live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeOfToren Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 That's amazing. I suppose 85k rounds of major? I am curious what is the highest round count on a 9mm Stock2/3/Lim Pro ever recorded without having to replace barrel/frame/slide parts (excluding springs/extractors, etc.).

Both still going strong and he didn't even change a slide stop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I Wonder how many rounds Ben or Eric have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undesiredeffect Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Is there a suggested set of replacements you should make after a certain # or rounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Springs. 5-10,000 rounds for the hammer. sear, trigger return, recoil can go longer. Extractor spring about 5000. Wolff extra power extractor spring can go 20-30,000. Trigger bar every 100 - 200,000 da cycles. Other parts as they wear or break. But few do. Keeping it clean and lubricated can make it last a long time. Failing to do so can shorten life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicoR Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Clean and lube? Damn this thing is high maintenance!I don't clean it often... maybe once every 3.000 rounds or so. Lube? Every 500 or so, and lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmrboy Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I found it's important to keep the hammer and plunger spring pockets clean. Gunk can build up in them and cause problems like light primer strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunk can build up in them and cause problems like light primer strikes. Around the extractor gunk builds up and hinders extraction. Causes FTE. Around the trigger bar gunk builds up and impedes reset causing dead trigger. Both come around 3-4000 rounds, typically from just adding oil and not cleaning. of course, they can happen sooner or later depending on powder choice. Clean powders might go 2-5 times that! And that same gunk can build up in the firing pin channel causing light strikes. High maintenance? Not like a beautiful Italian car or woman! But more than an AK or glock. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himurax13 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) The stock extractor spring needs to be replaced after 5k? I noticed that extra power extractor springs on a CZ-75 increases the likelihood of feeding issues. I have more than 25k on the hammer springs on my CZ's and 1911's.

johnbu Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) 2 hours ago, alfa75 said: JOHNBU IT IS NOT CHANGED ANYTHING IN MINE Your choice, obviously. Springs rarely "break", and if it ain't broke, why fix it? . since they don't break, what happens? Well, they do get microscopically weaker with each use (within their elastic limit). At some indeterminate point, they are over powered by some other force. Usually built up crud that causes friction. at that point, frustrating random issues start to happen. random light strikes, fail to extract or maybe an obscure timing issue. Maybe only 1 per 500 shots, but then 2 / 500, then 1/100... and only during a classifier (my type of luck!). My opinion is that the time, effort, frustration of those failures is greater than the monetary cost of a couple springs. Especially if the failure occurs during a match. just one opinion.

zx9rt1 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I don't clean it often... maybe once every 3.000 rounds or so. Lube? Every 500 or so, and lightly.Agreed. Mine is at the 1800rd mark now. Just lube every so often as mentioned and you should be good to go. I have had zero issues with feeding or extraction. I think I'm going to a detailed clean around the 2500 mark.
