*PRETRAVEL* (not overtravel)

I'm curious about this... Holding the trigger to the rear or just pressing to release the hammer while riding it forward? I haven't heard of this before, and would like to know a little more! During double action pull, if I press the trigger very slowly the hammer will not fall when the trigger is fully pressed. I've found other reports of the same thing in other forums but it seems to be pretty rare. Seems to be a fitting problem.

So I called the folks at CGW and they helped me troubleshoot over the phone. They advised to to color the disco with a Sharpie, install and remove it and check the ink on the disco for rubbing. The next step is to begin removing material. I've elected to send my gun to CGW for professional fitting. +1 for the excellent customer service at CGW.

Correction- I was attempting to elliminate pretravel, not overtravel.

I was very excited when my package from Cajun Gun works arrived. I orded the "Disco" disconnector for installation on my 9mm Shadow. The CGW website claims that the part drops in without fitting 90% of the time and I'm now assuming that I may be in that unlucky 10% After the difficult process of hammering the pin out of the original disconnector, I installed the CGW Disco, reassembled my pistol and voila... wonderfully crisp reset and zero overtravel. Problem is... the trigger break with the Disco installed was very mushy and there was a millimeter or more of creep in the singel action press. Double action pull was very smooth and felt lighter, but if I pressed the trigger slowly, I could push the trigger all the way to the rear and the hammer would not fall. I uninstalled and reinstalled the parts with the same result. After going through 5 stages of grief, I put the origianl disconnector back in the gun and I'm back where I started with a nice crisp trigger break and miles of overtravel. Anyone else have experience with the Disco in a Shadow or other 75 platform?

The Cubans used them in Red Dawn. And the track suit guy from Behind Enemy Lines had one. #smartass

Hello wheelgun guys. I've been shooting autoloaders in Production (B class) and Single Stack (C class) for several years. I recently got certified to teach NRA basic pistol courses but to do so I will need to have a single action only revolver and a double action revolver to teach loading and unloading processes. I have never owned a revolver. Soooo.... I could buy a Taurus POS and a single action .22 on the cheap, but why do that when I could learn to play a new game? I've fired maybe 50 rounds though revolvers in my shooing carreer- all .357/38 or .22. I plan to start bugging the local wheelgun guys at the next local match (Atlanta) but in the meantime... What are the most popular revolvers for USPSA/IDPA? How much should I expect to spend on a double action pistol for the game? What caliber should I be looking for? (I reload on a Dillon 550)

Wolf 55 gr cheapo bulk inside 100 yards Hornady Steel Match 75 gr past that.

It's on Netflix now

Ok that settles it. Thanks guys!

I'm gearing up to shoot my first 3 gun match and one of the questions I have is- how do I get my Shadow ready? I currently use it in USPSA production, but from what I've read a limited gun setup is legal in most 3 gun matches. Is it worth spending the money to get +2.5 base pads (140mm) or should I just use the regular 19 rd mags? I'm also considering shooting in USPSA limited division to get accustomed to the higher capacity. Any thoughts on this subject? Burningsquirrels- I expect you have something to say

I learned to pace myself during wods and have found my progress improved. Its tempting to blow it out at the beginning with all the loud music and shouting but after being stupid sore after work outs for a couple of weeks I decided there was no dishonor in pacing myself and pushing hard at the end instead. After about 6 months of awkwardly flopping around on the pull up bar I finally learned to do kips! My ego has also been well tempered by all the times I get smoked by girls at the gym. Used to it now. Crossfit!

Watch the Equipment exchange on AR-15.com I just picked up an amazing rifle for 1K, (no optic though) My link You should be able to find something similar to the top rifle for 1k or less (mine ) if you're patient. Good luck!

I'm a professional musician and I'm very careful with my hearing protection. I went to an ENT specialist and had some custom plugs made with filters. They were ok but the custom plugs I had made by a earinc.com rep at a match are the greatest thing ever.
