  1. Cajun now as a polymer guide rod for the Shadow 2. It's slightly longer. Never had any function issues with the shorter guide rod. But since I'm always looking for new ways to spend money on guns and accessories, I went ahead got the CGW version.
  2. So, I was able to get under weight without removing the protective cover from the Deltapoint Pro. Configuration: Deltapoint Pro. Slide milled by Cajun Gun Works. Lok lightweight palm swell grips Lok mag release button. Cajun Gunworks polymer guide rod Mecgar mags with Henning basepads Thin safety Comes in at 1265 grams or 44.62 ounces. I can drop to 1255 grams or 44.2 ounces with CZ 18 rounders with their extended baseplates.
  3. Just got my CZC mag and basepad and compared it to my Mecgar with Henning basepad. CZ mag with CZ Custom basepad = 92 grams Mec gar mag with Henning basepad = 104 grams Still waiting on my lightweight Lok grips to see where these changes put me.
  4. Have you looked at Lok's lightweight palm swell option? I have a set on order right now, along with the CZC baseplate/mag combo. Will see what those two changes do for my overall weight. I'll repost when I get these pieces in.
  5. Thanks. I'll check out that combination.
  6. So I'm having some weight issues. I have a S2 that just came back from CGW. Using their new polymer guide rod, a Deltapoint Pro, thin safeties and 17-round mecgars with Henning pasepads, I'm at 1,300 grams o 45.85 ounces. I can switch to Lok's lightweight palmswell grips to save 22 grams. That would bring me to 1,278 grams or 45.08 ounces. I can probably get under weight if I remove the front sight - but not enough to really feel comfortable. (I'm trying to avoid removing the DP pro's metal cover.) I wonder if anyone has done any weight comparisons on mag/basepad combos. What's the lightest option, still using aluminum basepads? The 17-round mecgars with Hennings are 106 grams.
  7. Not really sure how to measure it. But I'm using a 1050 so I can tinker with it.
  8. Firing pin has 5-6k rounds on it. But I've had the problems since it was new. It must be the primers or the seating depth.
  9. Yes, I do. I'm also leaving open the possibility that I could be running through a batch of suspect primers. These all came from the same lot. I just picked up some new Win primers that I'm going to try. As well as some Remingtons. Most of the other S2 users that I've talked to don't have this same problem. But for me, the light strikes happen anywhere from 1-5 out of 100 when I'm practicing.
  10. When I use the 11.5 lb hammer spring, I get light strikes too often to use in matches with win primers. I need to try seating the primers a little deeper. But for now, I use the 13lb spring, or the 11.5 with federals.
  11. Seems like the Mark 7 Facebook user group is gone. Was always a good place to get tips, see how other users were dealing with issues, etc. All I can find now is the company's official, promotional Facebook presence.
  12. I got that same email today - 24 working days.
  13. I just picked up a pair of Deltapoint Pros for CO guns. One of them went in for service this week - it kept going into sleep mode, even when I was using it. And it wouldn't wake up out of sleep mode - without me physically pushing the on-off button again. The other one, however, appears to be fine.
  14. I picked up a poly guide rod from CZ.
  15. With the polymer guide rod, I'm now down to 44.44 ounces. With the Deltapoint Pro and Henning basepads.
  16. Yes, the 45 ounce limit includes an empty magazine.
  17. Got my S2 back from CZ Custom this week. With the Deltapoint Pro and extended basepads by Henning, the gun weighs 44.97 ounces. Thinking that might be a little too close for comfort. Ordered a polymer guide rod to take it down a little.
  18. How did you solve the issue of mounting screws not holding? My Delta Point Pro flew off during a stage run yesterday. Now the screws won't hold at all.
  19. Dawson Precision have been the best for me. Never a problem with them.
  20. Filed one in mid December. Came in on Friday.
  21. If you feel the desire for a custom 1911, then go for it. It's not going to make you a better shooter. But if it offers an enjoyment boost for your shooting, then why not do it? This game is about having fun. I have a SA Range Officer and a Wilson Combat CQB Elite - though I shoot both in 9mm. I can't say that the Wilson is noticeably better when it comes to shooting performance. But I know for certain that I get more enjoyment out of shooting the Wilson. It's just a well-made gun.
  22. I have a Gen 2 model. Would not run with my competition pistol loads using Titegroup or N320. I had to add an extra four tenths of a grain to make it run. Nothing wrong with that route, but I prefer to keep things simple - one load for all my guns. So I did send mine off to Taylor to have the gas port opened to Gen 1 size. Got it back about a week ago, so far, it's having no trouble running the same load I use for production and SS minor.
