why would someone swap it out?
That's what I wondered? What advantage is there swapping it out?
-
Cool. L10 minor sucked big time.

Thank you!

I did ask Leupold for some replacements and also ordered some third party screws.
What size third-party screws did you order?

So what spare slide stop do we need to have handy? Someone said the S1 slide stops don't work in the S2. Is that correct?
-
I just spent part of the morning polishing all the important internal parts on my S2. I also changed out the OEM disco and hammer with ones from Seboweapons (1mm disco and Sport Hammer). Now I've got a very smooth DA at 5.25 lbs (8.5lb hammer spring) and clicky SA at 2.75 lbs. The reset is now significantly shorter, too. Haven't live fired it yet, but it feels great in dry fire.

I like this new rule or interpretation. Whatever it is, it's cool.

Thicker grips are available. The Shadow 1 grips fit the 2 perfectly.

Wow. I never would have thought of that.

So is the current USPSA rule book available in book form anywhere?

Nice to see the tuned numbers coming in! Finally got a tracking number so I should have a gun to fret about fairly shortly.
With the 8.5# hammer spring I was hoping to get D.A. down to 4.5# (where I'm at with my 75's). Any reason the CGW trigger return spring (and floating trigger pin while I am at it) would not drop 0.5# off of your pull weights? Be interesting to see if polishing makes much difference with the S2, did not try before & after polishing checks with my other guns.
Beyond those two things, I do not know what could be done for the D.A. , anybody ?
I initially put the CGW reduced trigger spring in, but it made the SA a bit too mushy for my tastes. Returned to the OEM.

S2 Mods: 8.5lb hammer spring, 11lb recoil spring, extended firing pin, and reduced power firing pin spring. That's all for now. 6lb DA and 2.75lb SA. Practiced with 200 rounds on Friday. Shot a match with it on Saturday. Not a single issue. Fed primers, of course. I like the balance of the gun better than my two other Shadows. I will be putting a new disco in to shorten the SA reset when I get the part from Seboweapons. I also need to polish the internals soon.

Love the Lok palm swell grips. Had VZ Operator II before. The Lok grips work better for me. I have them on both of my Shadows.
-
Loved this match. Fun stages. Loved all the long field courses. Great ROs. Very well-run match. I shot a half-way decent match, too. I'll be back next year.
-
I bought a CMMG MK9 and put a Vortex Spitfire on it. I've put about 1K rounds through it with no issues whatsoever. Ran some PCC stages with friends a few weeks ago and it performed flawlessly. I don't have any interest in making it an SBR. It works great the way it is.

Update. This afternoon I shot over 200 rounds with Win primers in my Accu-Shadow (ext firing pin, reduced FPS, 8.5 lb main). Not one failure. Interesting. Fed primers are scarce around here. But boxes of Win primers are plentiful. That's good news for me, at least for live-fire practice. I don't think I'll risk it in matches.
How many shots were double action ?
Yeah, good question. Interestingly enough, much more than half. I was practicing drawing most of the day on a static steel plate.

Accu-shadow with 8.5 lb with Federal primers = 100% with Win primers = approx 90%

Another change that will make the game less fun, SLOOOWWWW. Just what is needed, right? NOT!
The notion that IDPA is ANYTHING other than a game is absurd. The statement this"game where people carry guns for self defense...." ignores the fact that if you approached a gun fight using anything that resembled IDPA, you'd be dead.
I like IDPA, I really do, but the damn rule changes designed to "fix" something that is not broken need to stop. If this is an obsession over being different that USPA, please get over it. I shoot both and believe me, they are already VERY VERY different sports.
The notion that the IDPA target really reflects "good hits" on a threat is just wrong. If that is the case the down zero ought to include a triangular zone including the head and upper chest (golden triangle). So what's next, changing the targets to reflect real "kill shots"? And BTW, for sponsors and community relations, yes community relations because we live in the real world, do we really want IDPA to be associated with "training to kill people"? In states like mine, that will NOT help the right to bear arms.
My point is it NEVER FRIGGIN ENDS! Really, STOP ALREADY!
And this is coming from a guy that just started an IDPA program.....
This!

P01 Question
in CZ
Is the PO1 with the threaded barrel legal for USPSA Production? I ask because I'm wondering if the 0.7 inches added to the barrel length makes it slightly more accurate. I'm assuming it probably does. I don't see what the downside of shooting one with the longer, threaded barrel would be IF it's legal.
-
Dry fire just about every day I don't live fire. I live fire about 2 times a week--one or two practice sessions and 3 club matches (USPSA, IDPA, Steel) a month.

I can give a partial update. USPSA is working on a redesign of the whole website to accomplish faster classifier updates. As you can imagine this is a complicated process and one that must be done right the first time. There are some technical challenges that are being worked though but progress is being made.
From what I understand the developers are not yet at a point where they are able to give a completion date but are working to get there. I'm sure there will be updates as more progress is made.
Better to do it right the first time than rush it and have to do it again in my opinion.
(Note - I am not the developer or anything like that)
That makes sense to me.
-
After shooting a good classifier on the 17th of last month and remembering this news from last year I was expecting to see a change sooner. I guess they are still doing as the rulebook says--from the 10th to the 15th reviewing all the uploaded scores.

I have two S2s also. One is my practice gun (11.5 lb) and the other is my match gun (8.5lb). I've never had a light primer stick with my match gun using Federals. I've had a few light strikes with my practice gun with various brands of primers, but only a few.
