  1. Just the usual routine of adding oil in the high friction areas (slide rails mostly). It's not the worst idea to field strip and wipe out the excess buildup if you have time.
  2. Just to clarify: You actually want to replace the buffers, or you just want to be rid of them? Obviously, if it's the latter, you can just take them out. The gun runs entirely fine and you save $90.
  3. This is how I do it. Add lots of oil, shoot many many bullets. Reapply, and continue shooting. This. Claims that certain types of break-in methods alter the metallurgical properties of a firearm are a myth. It's nonsense for both long guns (where the myth is most common) and pistol.
  4. This is sage advice. I'll also add: As soon as you realize it's a "memory stage," (put in quotes because it's situation and person dependent)... walk behind the stage and make sure you know the correct round count and where targets are geographically. It makes it a lot easier to figure out your stage plan from there.

    Assymmetrical grips?

    Same. Every problem that I've seen people try to fix with mixed grips was quickly fixed by gripping the gun harder.
  6. Correct. You can't mix and match. It has to be CZ + CZ, or CGW + CGW.
  7. Some good advice for sprint workouts so far. I'll add some alternatives in case you find sprints too aggressive: box jumps, jump rope, and agility ladders.
  8. How many rounds have you done through the 8.5#? How many of those had light strikes? The 8.5 sounds nice when I switch to my S2s (they're currently using 11.5s, which i'm fine with), but I wouldn't accept even a single light strike in my match gun.
  9. Out of curiosity, has anybody tried a different trigger for a shorter DA throw? If so, what was your winner?
  10. Only Production. But, my goal is to be competitive, not to be cosmopolitan. It all depends on what your goals are.
  11. I don't think they're available yet ?
  12. Except the S2 doesn't need any of those things except for springs.
  13. My S2's factory trigger has MUCH less curve than the 85 triggers in my Shadow 1s.
  14. 5 yards and in: basically the outline of the gun in the A zone. ~7 yards: see my green fiber somewhere in the A zone They're sight pictures that don't particularly need the sights.
  15. Yes, it will be slower to transition. No, it will not impact you. You see a healthy mix of steel guns and plastic guns at the top of Production Nationals for a reason. The gun still doesn't matter. The opinion of a magazine editor is worth... well, very little.
  16. A very real, but unfortunate, factor is being left out of the conversation so far: The P09 just isn't the "cool" gun to have right now. They're great guns that need very little work. If they took 75 mags, I would pick one (or more) up.
  17. Change your lifestyle to remove garbage foods from your diet all the time, not just before a match. You'll feel a lot better at the match and everywhere else. I focus more on hydration leading up to a match. I make sure I'm comfortably hydrated as early as the night before, get a good night's sleep, and then continue hydrating through the day.
  18. Enjoyed the heck out of this match. What a great facility and the staff all did an excellent job.
  19. My practice Shadow 1 has ~80,000 rounds through it exclusively using 11 lb springs. I'd say the odds are almost zero.

    Hammers - Production

    Nope. But, I'm also not into tinkering and chasing gear; the CZC does exactly what a hammer should do. I'm also not thrilled with the new rule change, so that taints any future consideration of switching for me.
  21. I've found the SSI scales to provide the most real estate for my large hands.
