I neglected to take a photo of it out. But essentially had to remove the red highlighted area to fit a notch for the ejector to fit. I used a drill press like a mill to remove the basic area and then cleaned it up with a drum attachment on the dremel.

So it ran flawlessly over 8 USPSA stages today. I'm averaging .02 second faster splits on targets compared to stock and the Timney (just gauging similar distances from past matches). Getting down to .13s a few times and consistently pulling .14s. I know I can push in practice to .11s-.12s so we'll see how this setup plays out when I learn it. Now the pre travel is long. At least in dry fire. In practice it's not noticeable because it has a more rolling break feel (like an sd3g) with a very positive, short reset. The trigger is pulling 1lb 12oz on my Wheeler digital gauge. As far as performance goes, I took 1st in PCC and 5th Overall with 95% points possible. My only hindrance today was physical condition (I have significant disabilities due to multiple back surgeries and leg issues). So the gun isn't letting me down which is great! More to come!

Went down the rabbit hole on replacing the factory trigger on my JP-5. First tried the SD-3g and could consistently bump fire the gun if I slow pulled the trigger.. wasn't worth the risk IMO as I'm primarily an IDPA competitor (and USPSA). Then dropped in the Timney AR competition and while it works without modification, the trigger isn't all that much different than the stock trigger. I didn't like the hard wall feel of the stock trigger so the search continued. As we all know the ejector gets in the way of 99% of replacement options.. which is really a pain for tinkering types. I had a Hiperfire PDI in the drawer and got to thinking, if the Timney works then why can't this drop in? I took it apart and took basic measurements with calipers to see if it could. Then got to work with a mill and dremel. After an hour or so of test fitting it all went back together and function checked just fine! Live fire today (200 rounds) went GREAT with 0 malfunctions! Trigger is pulling consistently just under 2lbs. There is a good amount of pre travel however in live fire it feels great. I could get reliable .14 splits with a few .12s in there. 2 USPSA matches coming up in the next 3 days and an IDPA Major next weekend so I'm stoked this worked out! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5t5hk0y-u2/?igsh=MWZzcG5qczE5c2JjMg==

I do reload and reload a ton of .45ACP already so that's not much of a deciding factor. I think I'm going to go with the 625... I got to shoot it last weekend and really liked it!

Thanks for the tip, just checked and it's SPF... bummer! Just found out the local AFB back home gets em in every now and again for $720 out the door.

I'll be shooting mostly IDPA mostly due to the area I live in currently and will be in the near future so I'm limiting my search to 4" revolvers. I'm really liking the 686 SSR... I'll keep yall posted. Thanks for the advice so far!

So my graduation present is going to be a revolver of my choosing I'm looking to use it for ICORE, IDPA and USPSA. Not sure what to go with though! Any opinions for most all around wheelgun? I've been eyeing the S&W 686 SSR, but also looking at the 625. I have little experience with revolvers, only have an inherited S&W .357 magnum back home that's fun to shoot turtles with (it's a mid-west thing) Thanks!

Purely for the sport and competition- the 34 because that's what it was designed for For practicing with what I carry- the 17, because it's a great carry gun For IDPA though I shoot the G34, absolutely love it even over my Gen4 G17.

I know right??

Well I haven't made a post in a long long while. Been busy with getting ready to graduate! Anyways, I started a controversial debate a while back as I was new in the IDPA world. Since then I've shot a few more matches, all with my 1911 in CDP division. Oh to refresh the memory, I made the topic about getting sponsored... Over Christmas I finally received a Glock 34 I won from a shooting tournament last summer, in any case, I've shot it twice now. The first time was a steel match a few weeks back, the second was today at my classifier for SSP, in which I classified Master. So, for those who doubted, the results are in. This post is only to clear up the confusion caused in my last post, not instigate anything. I couldn't just let fellow shooters think everyone on a forum is just some keyboard commando trolling around.

I wouldn't do that to you... USMC1974 you must know how it is to be in the military and have mandatory training that calls you away from things you really want to do, right? No worries, there is a classifier coming up soon around my area (so I've been told by the rumor mill and a few MD's) I'll keep ya'll posted Until then, back to training

Leave ends for me tomorrow, going back to the east coast to find where I can shoot one.

You're right. That's a can of worms, which is why, here on BrianEnos.com, we don't discuss "real world versus match shooting". Please re-read the guidelines for posting on these forums. Thanks. Check rog I was simply trying to illustrate the fact that when the buzzer sounds, training and practice kicks in and how I shoot is how I shoot

If you shoot all zero's down you are shooting to slow. so, you are gaming it. I don't get it, if you have good times and shooting all or mostly -0s, doesn't that just make you a good shot? I know it's impossible to always shoot -0s but ya see what I mean? And I know this is a can of worms, but aren't IDPA matches a competition? Therefore shooting to win, and "gaming" it, just a natural part of the competition. In a real life self-defense scenario, you can be damn sure I'm going to game the hell out of it and make sure I have the same number of holes I was born with when I walk away, and the BG has several more, preferably all in the -0 area

When you get to the stage, walk through it, see what the experienced shooters are doing. Open shooters I've noticed have different approaches than most. Memorize your course of fire and plan and get ready. When you walk up to the box or line, take a nice deep breath, close your eyes and visualize your stage again. Then shoot. Cradle with your SH, squeeze with your WH. Good luck
