They're almost identical. I've shot a few thousand rounds through the 47 and I can't tell a discernable difference between the 17 and the 47. I'm sure there are some who can but I'm just not that good.

Boogyman customs is local to Tucson area. I've seen quite a few examples of his work and it always looks great. I've heard he's very reasonable for pricing as well.

Any idea what the standard size run? also 18? or 17lbs? To date I have about 1600 rounds through my OZ9, luckily no issues at all. My dad bought one after shooting mine and he had a lot of extraction issues. He switched to an apex extractor and its been flawless ever since. Luckily it was a reasonably easy issue to fix.

The only big downside is the finish. at least on the lots the USBP received the finish would wear down badly after a few hundred dry fire draws and a couple hundred rounds for training and qualification any contact points with the holster wore the finish clean off. Hopefully they fix it for the general release.

Enough people have been circulating the rumors so I'm pretty sure they're going to be putting the 47 out to the public. Having been issued the 47 I can say it's a great platform. The ability to make a 45, or 19x or whatever from a full size is a fun/practical option. I only have a few thousand rounds through the 47 but it handles like every 17 I've ever shot and is compatible with all the same holsters.

I know there are a million options out there but boogeyman customs in Tucson does outstanding work and his prices are very reasonable.

Glock 19. I’m a small human and the 19 is a little more comfortable for me. I can get away with a 17 but it’s not as comfortable. In the AZ summer I’ll be 100% honest I will take a ruger lcr more often.

I finally picked up an OZ9 (against my better judgement based on what I read on this thread). I only have 500 rounds through it but so far it has been great. I'm hoping that it continues to be a good pistol. Planning on shooting CO with it in USPSA and IDPA. I think the only thing it needs (barring any of the major issues that might occur based on what I've read here) is a tungsten guide rod. But so far so good.... Fingers Crossed. If not then I guess there are a lot of dudes who can legitimately say they told me so!

Thanks! Been humming and hawing about grabbing one but have been hesitant due to the issues reported here. Thinking I’m gonna chance it and maybe I’ll get lucky or maybe I’ll be back reporting my poor choices to y’all.

Is this a common thing in all their barrels or have they fixed the issue?

How does the zev lower and the Glock upper work for you?

Any eta on the tungsten grips?

what is the max weight they can be?

the stock 2 and 3 have the same frame (aside from finish) I think the stock 3 has a longer sight radius. I switched from a CZ SP01 to a stock 2 and love it. If you can, handle both the stock 2 and 3 and see which you like better.

I have it in my gun, don't know about the length of pull but I like the xtreme better than the stock.

Yeah the Hammer Pin. A gunsmith called it the Boss pin so that's what I used. I never tested trigger pull with it off, it started malfunctioning (skipping cylinders) so I took the side plate off to see and found the hammer pin broken (it's just an MIM pin pressed into the frame). So, I guess the question is: would a steel pin have broken the same way with as little use?

They why did the Boss pin snap after so little use? I'm not being snippy or anything, you all know more about it than I do so I figured this would be the spot to get learnerd up.

the pro series uses mim parts, not sure about the PC line. I had the boss pin break in my 625 JM Pro after 4 or 5 matches and some practice (no more than 1,000 rounds). Granted Smith sent me a brand new gun, it just took 5 months. If the PC line doesn't use MIM parts I'd go that route but that's just my opinion.

my bad... I'm apparently reading and comprehension impaired. I saw it just didn't dawn on me that we're talking IPSC

Stock 2 xtreme is on the approved USPSA production list.

Plus 1. Had the same thing done with mine (I'm not mechanically inclined so I had a gunsmith do it) and he got it down to a 6.5lbs double and a 2.25 lbs single action.

what do you use to polish? stone or high grit sandpaper??

I appreciate all the input. Keep the suggestions coming!

Benstoegerproshop.com has them (last I looked, which admittedly was a while ago).

The hammer is only surface hardened sooner or later you will have problems with it unless you get it rehardened What do you mean rehardened? like re-finished? I'm not sure what you mean by rehardened
