  1. to reduce mine, i just bent the finger on the trigger bar up, to meet the sear earlier.
  2. http://www.speedshooterspecialties.com/ "An M&P magwell designed for ESP and fits the IDPA box. Our Aluminum magwell is CNC machined from a solid block of Aluminum and anodized Black, it is very easy to install and requires no modification to your gun. Included with the magwell are installation instructions and all necessary hardware. Requires the use of the Taran Tactical or Taylor Freelance magazine extension or a thicker than stock base pad designed for this magwell such as our ESP basepads. If you have the original version of the Taylor extension that is not angle cut on the sides, please contact us for instructions on modifying your extension to work with this magwell. The factory full size or compact base pads or Arredondo extensions will not work with this magwell. Black anodized Aluminum, 1.0 ounce." This is what's keeping me from buying one.....So, wgj3, you're saying they WILL work with my Arrendondo extensions? Do you have a pic of yours by chance?
  3. I hit the sear with a stone....but only VERY slightly, I suppose I'll try some more work on it. DO you think the hammer itself could possibly be rounded? I haven't touched it.
  4. I'd like to put a magwell on my gun....but I'd also like to keep my arrendondo mag extensions in place.... is there any that work? will the SSS ESP work with any modifications?
  5. so....still an issue. pre/post travel are both present...more than I want there, but I did it to ensure that it is NOT my issue. rack slide, no finger on trigger, let the slide slam forward = hammer goes to half cock rack slide, no finger on trigger, let slide forward easily = hammer stays at full cock dry fire, rack slide, finger remains on trigger = hammer stays at full cock and trigger resets perfectly rack slide, finger BEHIND trigger holding it forward, slam slide = hammer stays at full cock I'm not sure what the deal here is. I haven't gotten a chance to shoot the gun yet, not sure when I will...but with this issue, I'd rather fix it before bothering to bring this gun to the range with me...as I haev a lot of others i'm working on right now. I've sharpened the sear angles, polished everything up, have some pre/post travel.......what else can I try???
  6. hmm...funny you say that, I did have to add some pretravel already to get the hammer to drop with the slide on...maybe I'll try adding a little more. I'll have to look at another return spring, as well. Mine looks to have gotten a little beat up on all the in/out of the installation.
  7. So i got the flat trigger...........manually cocking the gun, trigger felt GREAT....zero take up and over travel...crisp and tight, just awesome. Put on the slide...nada. Hammer cocks, trigger is pulled, hammer stays put. So i took off onto the trigger bar...and got the hammer to drop. Now, the issue...if I cock the gun regularly...everything is fine. If I pull the slide back and let it slam back into battery...the hammer follows to half-cock.... SIGH I never really touched much on the sear, in relation to the hammer....and it looks quite rough for being so smooth of a pull.... should I try to just polish/stone it to a nice finish then work with the angle to get it back 100% or just suck it up and spend MORE money on the EGW parts? I THOUGHT i was done with this gun lol
  8. Upon disassembly last night....my trigger return spring decided that it had had enough of my constant shooting and chose to flee. The spring has aggravated me in the past...and, as far as I'm concerened...i'd rather never see it again! So....is goign to the henning flat trigger worth it? I don't shoot competitively...ever, I just plink at the range with some LRN handloads... The gun shoots WAY better than I'm capable of right now, and i don't want to loose that.
  9. I'd have to look on the factory documentation for the build date...I know it's there, I just don't remember off hand
  10. lol....i have never even been out of this area of the forum! i'll go look there now.. and armslist...i looked it up, appears to be a craigslist for guns....is it legit/safe? seems to be a LOT of spam on there...and some crazy prices too (i guess that's good for me though lol)
  11. I'm selling my Witness Elite Match .45acp and I've getting NO interest on my local, and very active, forum.....so, where is the market for these guns? I don't have a Gunbroker account...and no interest in setting one up, but I do have buddies on there... Just kind of curious in y'alls experience.
  12. you def haven't shot a quality suppressor if you feel they aren't that quiet.... a suppressed 9mm shooting 147gr or 153 rounds is VERY quiet... a .45acp is VERY quiet as well and I've thought about the 6" barrel and threading it...and made post regarding it...but honestly, i'm just not a huge fan of my witness at this point and just wanna get something different.
  13. i have a .45 elite match.....2500ish rounds..and it's perfectly fine. I am thinking about hocking it to go back to a 9mm though, since there's no threaded barrels for it and i want to shoot it suppressed
  14. my match has polygonal rifling....i shot around 100rds of lead hornady 230gr through it today....doesn't appear to have any leading, but hell....i don't know what that even looks like! only lead ammo i've shot, until today, was .22lr
  15. i'm about to try out 200x 230gr LRN hornady bullets tomorrow, in my match .45acp
  16. I have everything polished and flitz'd.....also have the XL firing pin and 13lb hammer spring....and am handloading 230gr LRN's behind 5.5gr of unique.....so, i was hoping to grab a lighter spring to match those lighter loads i didn't see the factory weight in your link, though
  17. what is the factory weight? are lighter springs available and/or recommended?
  18. The breech is different; you could probabably get it to fire just fine, it just wouldn't eject since the ejector would be too far away to grab the rim. Which you might be able to fix by modifying the ejector so it goes in farther, BUT then there isn't anything on the opposite side for the case to rest against, so even then you would probably get a lot of FTE's. Find a 9mm case and put it on your breech face to see what I"m talking about. fair enough......early morning thinking is never my strong suit
  19. are the .45acp and 9mm slides different in anyway? Why couldn't I just buy a barrel and mag?
  20. well....which one on the site is it (their site sucks balls, btw) Compact Blue Standard Blue Long slide blue with Super Sight Blue
