    Smith 617 Box to Match REVIEW

    in Revolver Forum

    Posted

    I have since "squared" the barrel, brushed off the recoil shield burr and picked up a new Apex Firing Pin.

    As far as the finish goes, I will tackle that later.

    I have a hard time waiting on someone else to do what I can and perhaps to a lesser standard.

    Thank you kindly my fellow travelers!  This was the first forum I joined some years ago and one

    of only a couple that I try to stay current with.  Low on drama and big in on info.  Lots of like minded

    people with a common goal to learn and improve, shoot with and enjoy the company of others.

    Thanks for having me.

    Tango Stock 2 REVIEW!

    The "BOLO" is a short reset disconnector that reduces pretravel in SA to near zero. It also smooths out the DA stroke to reduce the "stack" feeling.  it's sold by Patriot Defense, a vendor here. They also make a line of reduced power hammer springs that do not bind (the EG ones tend to) and a matching firing pin return spring.   They also make reduced power trigger return and sear springs.

    The bolo really should be  installed with the one piece sear and Xtreme titan hammer.  with those parts it's near "drop in"  however the sear needs to be fit when the titan is installed.

     

    I run those parts and the PD13 hammer spring  with thorough polish and get a 5# da and have run nearly 1000  wolf primed rounds with no issues.   A good internal polish with all their springs (use the 14 hammer spring) will bring the trigger to a reliable 6 1/2# DA for very little cost and a bit of elbow grease. Adding the bolo, 1 piece sear, titan hammer make it better, but some don't feel the need to spend the extras $.  Springs only is cheap and gets a very good trigger.

     

    By the way.... have you done a high point carbine 9mm review?  might be interesting with the activity in PCC.

    Thank you for the education mister, thanks

    I have thought about the Hi Point...but I can only imagine the crap I would get...but what the heck!

    Great vids Pat, keep em coming. . . BTW, drop in a bolo and swap a few spring (& probably a FP) and you'll have yourself a pretty impressive production gun.

     

    It is pretty impressive as is!  But would you please enlighten me...what is a BOLO  (Be On LookOut is all I know)  springs, Henning FP and some elbow grease, I get, and can do.

    Thanks!

    I have a new (100 rounds) SPS Pantera in the shop for a trigger upgrade...

    found out that the SPS pistols are riding the link for lock up

    when you keep the slidestop in the pistol but with the lever hanging down the pistol will allmost not unlock... you need 2 hands to pull the slide back

    Bummer.

    Neither of mine have that issue.

    My pleasure Patrick, good job, I really enjoy your videos, there is a lot of good info and no nonsense, no intro with music, silly logos, egos, or silly 'staged' shooting, a few you tubers come to mind, anyway.

    I left a question on youtube for you, but I am going to ask the same question here just for everyone else to see:

    In between the Bersa and the Grand Power Xcal, which one would you prefer or like more and why?

    Thank you.

    I would have to spend some time on the range with both to come up with an answer.  I am pretty close to not having shot the same gun twice in 2 years and that makes it is tough to remember what I thought about what?!?!?

    Off the top...both are wicked accurate. Both have great triggers. Both have great sights. The Xcal had interchangeable back straps, the Bersa doesn't. The Bersa mags hold 17 the Xcal 15. Beyond that...I would have to go shoot them for a bit.
