The tip that hits the primer

I did try an extra power Glock striker spring in mine and it worked fine for about 2 months and then the striker broke. When back to the original. Bad striker or too strong of spring? Not sure what caused it

Some people don’t like really heavy guns.

I prefer the apex AEK with the factory trigger. I installed a Forward set sear and about a month later went back to the AEK with a factory trigger shoe. I don’t like having my trigger finger extended to reach the FSS

Could be a great entry level limited gun if it’s offered in .40

But I shoot my M&Ps better then my CZ’s or my Glock and I can Buy 2 M2.0s with triggers and Dawson Sights for less then the of either one of my CZs. At that point a barrel that cost about the same as an entry fee for some major matches is pretty easy to justify if it needed

Plus a M2.0 can be had for $400 plus a $50 rebate (recently expired) for a grand total of $350. About half the price of a Walther or Gen 5 G34.

I would do the RIA, just because the thumb safety is easier to use/reach

Could always look around for a used Para double stack or Buy a Rock Island High Cap

I would replace it with a Dawson if the bulb on the fiber rod isn’t counter-sunk into the sight to get rid of the halo effect. If it is just get a new rod. Not sure what the dovetail cut is though

Anybody ever tried to weld up the frame rails then file them back down to get rid of the side to side movement? Sear blocks and locking locks are cheap to replace if you screw up, assuming you can find replacements

Started watching it on a Sat night. Finished it by Sun night. Great series! My love of westerners is probably part of the reason my fiancé says I have an old soul! Lol

Complete slide w/Dawson fixed sights, barrel and guide rod removed I’m at 13.55 oz

It probably wouldn’t cost very much to just have the front sight removed and have a dovetail cut into it.

I defy thought about building one of these

I agree 100%. I bought a new edge a couple years ago, gun runs great but it seemed kind of loose for what they cost. I shoot with a bullseye shooter that bought a DVC and he though the same thing. He also has a custom 2011, I have also have CZ shadow and a M&p with an apex barrel and all 3 of the non STI guns group as good or better that both the Edge and DVC. With most of the new STI guns in the $3k area they should group like a bullseye gun. There a lot of custom builders that will build a custom 2011 for that price that are extremely accurate

I’m tempted to buy one of their short block kits

There used to be aftermarket aluminum Glock frames, but don’t think there was much demand for them.

Just buy an apex barrel and be done with it, unless you already have the mags and all the other equipment your not going to change platforms for the cost of a barrel. Glock is the probably the most popular platform on the market and most competitive shooters change the barrels in those

Isnt the slide release pretty much identical on both sides of the gun?

I think this video is addressing issues with the FSS kits where trigger has far less overtravel than the production legal AEK kit

Usually a dead trigger is caused by having the old style sear block with the small sear spring. Sear blocks are cheap, but if your really cheap you could always drill it out to accept the new larger spring.

I payed $1700 for mine nib w/Dawson sight about 9 months ago off Gunbroker, so if I were to sell it I would be happy to get 1500 used.

My 930 has been a sub-par gun even for a gun in that price range. I haven't shot it much but it has had FTE, light strikes, and ftf issues. Never had any problems with my M2. Even my old stoeger m2000 has been a much better gun then the 930.
