I'm about to start shooting IPSC - it's about time... I plan on shooting production, minor. Been goofing around for the past 5 years and have finally gotten bored. I recently discovered this splendid forum. I have a few questions before I order some stuff from Henning, but don't want to find out I should have bought an extra spring, so I thought I'd ask you guys before ordering!
First on a little info on the gun. It's a Limited Custom. I shoot 2 different bullets, both lead. A 130gr RN and a 120gr Spitzer (have no clue what it's called, it's just very pointy ). Both loaded in CBC brass with VV N320/3.5gr and Remington small pistol primers. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to shoot them through a chrono but a guestimate is that they're running at around 1000fps.
I'm going to order the Henning xtra long firing pin and a spring to go with it, however I don't know whether to go with the 13lbs or the 14lbs? I thought about just ordering both of them. Is there much felt difference between them?
Also I'm getting a few recoil springs, a 8lbs and a 6lbs. Does that sound like a good idea?
Been reading a bit about slide glide. Since it's not an open gun and the weather here in Denmark is always shitty (pardon my French), about 50-60 in autumn and spring, in sommer never more than 80 (and that's like 10 days a year), and in winter rarely below 32.... I think the standard viscosity is the right choice?!
With a reduced recoil spring I think a buffer might be a good idea. Unfortunately I did not come across any on Henning's website, doesn't he offer these or did I just not look hard enough? Shipping to Denmark is never under $20, so it's gonna be a mighty expensive buffer if I have to order it else where!
Happy shooting to all of you
