Sear spring... also reduces pull weight. Firing pin spring: This used to be a huge headache. See, the weaker your hammer strike gets from lighter mainsprings, the more a lighter firing pin spring helps. The firing pin (return) spring pushes the pin to the rear and takes force away from how hard the primer is struck. The weaker that spring is, the more reliable ignition becomes. In the old days, guys would take Xtreme springs and cut coils off. The downside here is that when you went too light, the firing pin would get jammed sticking through the breechface and lock your gun up hard. The Patriot spring is lighter in rate, and according to them it fully collapses and goes into coil-bind which stops the firing pin before it can wedge in the breechface. I put one of theirs in right away, and haven't though about tooning or clipping that spring. It just works.

Is sig actually making spares available, unlike the equally new MPX?

Sounds like you installed the shim backwards. It should be thicker in the rear to angle the muzzle upward slightly while the optic is level.

Shallower hooks and lack of need to fit the bolo are the primary ones. Cleaner SA trigger and easy fitting for a gun with zero SA pretravel. Mostly, though, "Titan Hammer" sounds badass. Like something Thor would carry into battle. That's an important factor.

I shot a middling 79-80% on El Prez this weekend (amazingly enough my first time shooting it for score,) so I doubt that's coming anytime soon. I'd need to do some of that irritating practice stuff.

It's too bad Wilson Combat doesn't make any .40 guns, because then you'd suddenly be able to utilize that caliber in CDP.

Tried Ben Stoeger's store?

Well... remember that we are a tiny tiny percentage of the gun owning population. Even if everyone who wants an IDPA / USPSA capable Limited Pro rushed out and bought one tomorrow if they were available, I have a hard time imagining them selling more than a few hundred of them nationwide. My suspicion is that it was their slowest moving model, so they dropped it and they're trying to insert something more popular into the imported gun lineup.

Update: Ended up taking another .003" off of it without scrapping anything, and called it good at that point. Hammer comes back another .030" or so. With a PD 15.5, the gun lit off anything at a 5.8lb DA pull weight this weekend. I mean CCI Magnums and Tula primers loaded on a 650 - it doesn't care. No more EGD Medium spring. No more stacking DA pull.

They summed it up nicely. If you have a delta hammer, sell it here or on eBay and buy a Titan and Bolo from patriot defense. The springs they listed. Polish it thoroughly enough you are sure it's great. Shoot for a few weeks, strip it down, and realize you need to do a lot more.

I believe you're wrong. Just putting that out there in a cordial fashion.

I was. Eapecially since the small frame guns can wear some CZ grips with a few modifications. I thought the small frame was physically smaller, and the gun felt like a CZ in the hand.

I think I'd have to see that to visualize how it works, but it sounds like a simple solution.

I haven't shot Black Bullet International's bullets in 6 or 7 years, but the company's owner might get me ordering from him soon. I arrived at a match recently and discovered I'd left my inner belt at home - an hour's drive there and back to go pick it up. Just before the match began, the owner of BBI heard me asking around to see if anyone had a spare. Chandler stripped off his Open rig and ran home (he's much closer) to bring me his spare one. I have to say that I love when a vendor proves to be a class act, and just wanted to say thanks where it might do some good for his bottom line. If you're thinking about shooting Black Bullets, you'll definitely be ordering from a quality individual.

How did you decide to mount your plates? How is it holding up?

If they are ANSI certified for impact protection they will have a Z87+ sticker or have it molded into the lens

Cowitness if you have to rely on the gun for defensive use and don't trust the dot's reliability? Sure. That's works. For the best gun setup strictly for competition? Take the irons off.

We are? Thats called a CZ and they're available everywhere. I don't know about anyone else, but I be shooting a CZ instead of a Tanfo if the gun wasn't built for tiny little hands. Which brand I chose didn't particularly matter to me - the two guns are nearly identical twins.

ITAR means they're able to ship their parts to Europe and similar places. See: http://www.borderview.com/services/for-individuals/small-parts-exemption-service/ It doesn't meant they get to import Tanfos. We're still going to have to rely on EAA for that.

Thats permitted. Most of us do exactly that. You can produce a magazine from anywhere at load and make ready - as long as the timer isn't ticking yet, you're a free man.

Mags drawn from anywhere besides the belt = you shoot in Open division. Stupid rule since I'd gladly have all the other Production guys try to fish mags out of pockets on the run. If your local match adheres to the rules properly, you can usually make 4 on the belt and one in the gun work well over 90% of the time. That said there are times that a 6th mag is an advantage.

Take your gun and... Fit it with a heavy recoil spring to soak up recoil. Use a light Bullet. Use a slow-burning powder to gradually get the Bullet up to speed. The above, in your head, is the key to having s light shooting gun. In reality it will kick like a mule. Now fit the gun with a light recoil spring and use the heaviest possible Bullet and the fastest burning powder? You'll giggle like a schoolgirl, and wonder where all the muzzle flip went. Most people think entirely wrongly on what makes a gun shoot softly. Just trust me on the above. I'm very much correct. Power Pistol is a slow powder which means it can get a bullet to screaming velocities without being overpressure. We don't want that. We want a fast-burning powder that is approaching (but isn't at) dangerous levels right when you're shooting light USPSA loads. Because it shoots more softly.

I rake the first mag pouch backward just slightly, but leave all the rest vertical. Most production guys run pretty much 100% vertical mag carriers.

I like them vertical. Spread them out more though - you don't want you fingers to accidentally pull mag #2 loose while drawing the front one. Just 1/2" or so of space between them is a big difference.

You won't be at a disadvantage as long as you're shooting matches in California. Everyone else in CO Limited and Open will be shooting 10rds... yet people keep saying things like that. Sell the gun and buy a Glock 17 MOS if you can get them in CA. You won't lose as much in the deal and will be $$$ ahead on getting into optics. Assuming you don't plan to also shoot irons, or course.
