I mean… In IDPA you are reloading from slide lock quite often so slide lock reloading actually is a big part of that..

Based on what I am seeing all of the DPM springs performed worse than the stock spring… Sure, your average follow up shots were quicker, but if you look deeper into it that was purely based on you shooting faster not the spring performing better. The muzzle rise and angle of rise were higher in every spring except for the softest spring which was the only spring that had a lower anoubt of muzzle rise, however, it still had a way higher angle of muzzle rise so I wouldn’t even say that out performed stock. Looking at the numbers, the only thing preventing faster follow up shots with the stock spring was you brother, the gun was recoiling up less and at a slighter angle so really it was back on target before the others you just weren’t shooting yet.. That’s my interpretation of what those results show anyways.. Also the data of how accurate the hits were on the follow up shots are a fairly important factor as well that is missing.. Anybody can pick up the pace of their shooting from one setup to the next, but when the data straight shows that you were shooting faster when there was a higher amount of recoil as well as angle of recoil, then to me that says you simply shot at a faster pace but the gun wasn’t nearly as controllable so I think you are keying in on the wrong information that the results are showing you..

They did both of mine, top notch cut job turnaround is 2 weeks.. Go to stone bridges website Vincent will reply literally immediately on their chat feature practically 24/7, and he is extremelyyyy knowledgeable on Shadow 2s

So I actually had this exact same thing happen to me before, I spent 2 weeks going crazy over it lol.. Prior to the light strikes starting on the second to last stage of the match, I had always used the exact same Norma 124g ammo and never had so much as a single light strike in practice even with around 15,000 rounds since getting a shadow 2 and going with a 10# CZC main spring. I figured surely the spring was just needing swapped as it had around 15k through it and popped in another 10# spring but the problems did not go away I was light striking in SA sometimes even.. So I went up to 11.5# cgw spring, still light strikes practicing. At this point I was like there is just no way this is the spring, but at the same time I was thinking there is no way it’s the ammo as the ammo has always ran absolutely flawless I’m not even exaggerating that I hadn’t had a single light strike or even a single malfunction for that matter in the first 15k rounds I put on my shadow 2.. Owner of my club is a top 10 open nationals finisher for over a decade now and is almost always right, he was saying it has to be the ammo it’s possible they had a bad batch. So I do some researching and find that there are multiple other people complaining about Norma 124g suddenly light striking for them when it never has before. Turns out there were some lot#s that Norma issued recalls on, but the 1000 round case I had was not on that list. Figuring it’s totally possible there are effected lots that they don’t even know about, I bought a different ammo for the first time in like a year and it ran flawlessly through 2 straight mags of me putting the hammer down between every shot so they were all DA pulls as this is when your hammer will be hitting the lightest. I gave it a month for the bad batch that was manufactured to be resolved/all sold and the next case of Norma I bought was back to running good as gold. So yea, moral of the story here is that I drove myself crazy writing off that it was the ammo because I knew the ammo to be great and reliable in my gun, but bad batches/boxes totally happen and I am willing to bet it was a short stretch of rounds that something was off on. If you are running a 10# spring like me, you have to be extremelyyy careful with factory ammo that it will reliably run, here are a few I have found to run reliably you can test with: Norma 124g(the best), federal 124g, PMC 124g, and of course blazer brass but I would try using another kind just in case there’s a few bad batches currently.. Never ever ever get fiocci it is pure garbage and gets stuck going in battery and when it does go into battery you’re likely to have a light strike lol I will never waste my money on that crap again.. Good luck!

Stone bridge gun works! They did my SRO optic cut and I’m not sure if they cut off the front sight, or if they keep the front sight and replace it with a plate.. But either way it ends up exactly like what you are wanting so if you don’t want the front sight surely they could do it for you! Vincent always replies instantlyyyy on his chat feature on the website and had a ton of knowledge on CZs.. https://imgur.com/a/k1piBnA

Lol I had to.. Dude was just roasting the guy for zero reason, and wasn’t even right I did mean to quote a totally different reply of his where he was saying he was beating up his gun running a 10# spring and making “you guys do realize” statements.. My response does look a bit uncalled for on the particular comment by John I accidentally replied to, but if you go check his comments on the first page you will see what I mean haha

The answer to that question is pretty well known honestly.. the saying goes “Splits for show, transitions for dough” meaning: fast splits sound and look really cool and make for a great video and all…but the real money maker is and always has been in transitions for top shooters.. that being said, a full grown adult male should not be losing any time in their transition speed over 10 ounces.. it’s all in the technique and shooters ability brother! edit: and movement of course being king to both of the aforementioned..

couldn’t agree more about the stock bushing! Have had both of mine taken out practically immediately before 500 rounds were even on the gun, both of them so thin the gunsmiths chipped them taking them out

Lol… go check that link again bud.. clearly incorrect and you’re literally the only one here running a 13# that’s way too heavy. You’re in a competition forum lol maybe go find one with weekend warriors who go to the range every weekend to practice for self defense and you will find one person who agrees that 13# is the proper weight to run, but absolutely too high for USPSA. Also, the stock recoil spring is 16-17# nobody knows for certain but this is best guess, the post you referenced has even been edited to fix his mistake Talk about looking like a chump..
