Always go by barrel stamping over product listing.

Weak hand wrist locked (not death grip) at 45 degrees is how I get my sights back on target.

I forgot to include in my original post that the problems began at a Haley Strategic Pistol class. I shot 300+ rounds (with at least 50-60 mag changes; tactical, speed, and admin) before I was forced to switch to my backup sig. I ended up trading it away. Century took it back for recall on the barrel but did not address my other issues on its work order or any other materials. I unfortunately did not get to test fire it. I will be giving the Grand Power platform another shot with the X-Caliber.

I get 23 in three of my mags with Dawson basepads, and 22 in the other two. A little frustrating, but the TTI basepads I have for my M&P only allow for 22 (when they are advertised for 23).

I have 5 mags, all with dawson + 6 basepads. Problems were not mag specific (unless the basepads do something). Issue has not come up again whatsoever with all other ammo. Completely regulated to the Fiocchi 115 i shot.

Forgot a detail, I have a tungsten guide rod/captured spring.

What weight spring would you recommend?

Two live rounds. So, hotter load or weaker recoil spring should be a step in the right direction? I'll try shooting the same ammo with the comp removed to confirm that issue. Thanks for the fast response. Any other ideas?

I just bought this set up: Glock 17 - KKM Threaded Barrel w/SJC comp Glock 17 - Zev Tech Slide (some lightening cuts) Mounted RMR Glock 35 frame (stock) Glock 17 mags + Dawson Extended base plates I bought this gun for fun, I have never really shot competition nor great intentions to do so. As such, I don't reload and just want to play around at the range. Remington 115 UMC ran this set up flawlessly. Fiocchi 115 would consistently double feed (1-2 times per mag) I also noticed that brass doesn't seem to be ejecting very far (3-6inches up and then dropping). What could be the weak link in the set up? What could I do to increase the reliability across types/brands of ammo? Thanks in advance guys!

Definitely A, especially if its an old IMI (as opposed to IWI) with a frame mounted safety. I have owned and sold many Baby eagles in the past. The older IMI's/plated/chromed guns are simply more highly desired/valued. That being said, I have not seen a factory two tone IMI, make sure it isn't a parts gun.

Empty mag seats just fine. Any other clues?

Apparently they are offering the aluminum framed ones to "select shooters" for close to $4,000 this Fall. Press Release here: http://www.arsenalfirearms.com/news/7 Who's jumping on that?

We used 10 Sig p250's in our rental fleet for a full year. 4 extractors on different guns broke during that time. I can confirm the double action is 5-6lbs and consistent throughout. Surprisingly good. We used these guns in Beginner Pistol courses and most students had great success learning on them.

I have Grand Power P1 currently waiting for a call tag from Century for the barrel issues. I emailed them recently and also asked about the problems I have been having otherwise. I am getting consistent double feeds (2-3 times a mag). The magazine is also very difficult to fully seat, even with downloaded mags. I read somewhere there is a new follower + spring design out there for the mags. Does anyone know if this could help cure some of the issues I am having? If so where does one find these components? Thanks

As far as the experience: E2 feels more solid in the hand for me (being one piece). I can now reach the DA trigger w/o issues. Texture also seems a bit grippier. Worth the upgrade IMO.

I can't find a listed weight for your handguards.

What Noveske barrel models do you have?

Seems like that just a product of the shooter.

Never shot competition, from what I understand IDPA in ESP division is a good place to start. Any other suggestions? So far the gun has: Tacops magwell grips (stippled) Uses 20rd Mec Gar mags Can I get the slide lightened? Any feedback on whether or not this is a worthwhile mod? What sights should/could I use? What trigger work should/could I get done? What factory ammo should I use? Thanks in advance!

Many if my customers have told me they prefer the mega's over the vltors. One thing to keep in mind about their billet uppers, there my be some small clearance issues with certain hand guards ( I believe troy), but this is true of most billet uppers.

I would give it another try. Having no gap helps with grip repeatability for me and I notice more control
