Phew… I don’t feel bad about not cleaning my magazines often anymore Thanks guys! ps: my P320s are very reliable.

I’m having this very issue. I might get the SS part

I just got my 2nd Lockwood kit. Its barrel fit is even tighter. It needs some serious breakin, I guess. I should post a photo of my pair later

Check this out. Amazing.. I have the kit from Sig Armorer in my P320 and am super happy with it.

I can’t see how using a different striker would change the location of hits as its tip comes through the hole unless the striker is angled/ tilted in the channel. Something else is causing it. Just my thought.

Good new! What did you do? Is that slide kit still in a break in period?

Hmmm, to me, the offset doesn’t look “little”. I would add a witness mark to some rounds (say, at 12 o’clock) and see where the offset is at and if it’s consistent. in any case, I believe Mr. Bruce will sort it out for you. I scored my second Lockwood slide kit last night. I love that kit but I’m stuck with R3 Max which is not reliable and I’m kinda getting sick of it.

The large group has the striker hit offset?

When I got one of his tripper kits, a highly polished disconnect was included. I wonder if this one is any different. By the way, my factory disconnect was severely worn out. I don’t recall how many rounds + dry fire sessions it had Edit: the kits now “include this new sport disconnecter”. So I guess it’s different from what I got.

Wow! What an outcome! Congrats!

Just got a case of 147gr bullets from BMB. I’ve been buying 145/147 gr bullets from ACME. BMB’s coating is as excellent as ACME’s. Grouping is also compatible with ACME’s. I’ll be buying more from BMB because they are cheaper.

Nice looking pistols,RangerTrace! I’m loving my Lockwood slide and waiting to get one more. They are all out of stock now.

Thank you Sir!

may I ask what bullet (type, weight) you are using? I’m still breaking in mine with my usual load (coated, 147gr) but soon I would like to move onto a load development. Thanks!

Here you go. Compared with the Legion barrel (w/ the LCI cut out). There is no recess/ step on the Faxon

I love the new barrel. Fit right all over. As I said, there is no more vertical movement of the slide when I pull the trigger slowly. It’s now just like my original X5 combo.

“Original” lol

Just update on my Lockwood slide. I had some concern about he origami kit, so i contacted GG and they said “ send it back”. they fitted a new GG custom barrel from Faxon and it’s fantastic. It took about two months to get it back but their customer service is second to none. Using the custom barrel from Faxon might be the direction going forward and it is fully supported And the vertical movement of the slide when I pull the trigger is completely gone. My best guess is that the locking lug is now better fitted. A happy camper here

Nice! How’s its barrel to slide fit?

Many thanks, HOGRIDER! I’ve read many of your posts on this forum and really appreciate your help and contribution! I’m just scrapping $100+ due to the reported issue, so I’m not sure if I want to take another chance with a similar amount of money. I’ll think about it. but amazing, the die that you recommend is in stock! I checked out Dillons inventory and the lead time for 9mm sizing die is 40+ weeks, lol

did you have the legacy GG trigger kit prior to the TSA kit? The legacy GG kit uses a tube on the trigger stop pin. If it’s still there, that creates a short stroke. pS: don’t ask me how I know this….

I wish I had read this thread before I bought a Decapping and Resizing Die from MA. I just want to add my experience to this thread. I was getting tired of the ‘extra force’ required with the U-Die (yes, I do use a lube) and not-so-ideal decapping pin design with the Dillon die. I was intrigued by MA’s decapping pin design (screw-on with spring) and decided to give it a shot. Because of its ‘non-undersizing design’, I was curious/ cautious about the bullet retention, so I made a few with coated bullets (0.356) and plated bullets (0.355). I could not push the coated bullets in but it was effortless to push the plated bullet in with a light force, even after crimping (my crimping is adjusted for the coated bullet with the case mouth just closed). No go. I am afraid that they will not take it back for refund. I am not going to sell it because of the bullet setback that I have observed with it. I would have to take the loss. Back to the U-Die.

Ditto. glad that the issue has been resolved.

My GG trigger doesn’t have any adjustment for pre travel, I believe in order not to compromise the striker safety.
