Thanks a lot! I shall try one or two

Nice! Thanks! I also use a variable in my 1911, which I rarely fire these days, and wanted to try one in my X5 one day. With a 12lb Variable spring, how is the lock up at the battery? Sloppy? When I used a light recoil spring in my Walter PPQ, the slide got really sloppy and I had to lighten the striker spring as well.

Anyone has tested variable springs from Wolff?

I had this ring on the brass when I was shooting with a Walther

they have 9mm 125 in green now. Not sure what other colors are being offered. by they way, the discount code that I’d been using doesn’t work anymore do they have a new one for us enos forum members?

ditto.

yeah inside the gun is filthy even after only 100 rounds.

I have started getting a lot of smoke recently. I use ACME 124gr bullets and 3.9gr of SP. Anyone else having the same issue?

Shame. What is going to happen to the Alpha? My understanding is that it was designed and developed by them.

I have moved from 147s to 124s, and noticed that the latter is more precise. Shoot more and break it in.

Well said and I agree.

I am interested in those new springs. I will wait until they start selling them as spare replacement parts.

I like the BOSS hanger for the holster.

A 13 has been working fine for my 124 load. I’ve settled with it for now.

Bwahahaha~!

The tungsten GR did one thing for me - muzzle dip. It will go for sale

Yeah, I learned that the hard way during a match The thumb rest reduces the amount of depression on the mag release, so it prevents that disaster as long as the table surface is flat (not convex). No, I did not buy the rest for that reason. It is just a good bi-product

I do have it with the GG kit. It works and I love its adjustability. The over-travel is almost gone and you can eliminate almost 100% of the pre-travel but I leave a little pre-travel. Before you ask, no I have not measured the trigger weight as I do not have any fancy gauge. It feels the same. The trigger is very thin and light but it is solid. It is a great product.

I have been using 1911 springs from Wolff and they have been working fine. I have used the SIG OE springs and not noticed any difference between them.

I got mine and could not stop laughing I may sell them on eBay.

yup, I have noticed that too with the Legion during dry fire.. My regular X-five does not do that for some reason. As I pull the trigger very slowly, the slide moves up a bit and when the striker is released, the slide moves back down. With a mag fully loaded with dummies, this disappears because of the tension from the ammo, holding the slide up.

I shot 400 rounds with the 12lb recoil spring and had two light strikes. First time with the X-fives. hmmmm, may go back to 13lbs.

I have not measured the diameter of the factory guide rod but the flat wire springs require the diameter of the guide rod be =< 0.25", I think. When I re-install the SIG spring, I use a chop stick that I got from a Chinese restaurant. I put the spring on the guide rod and then insert the chop stick. The chop stick will prevent the spring from bending/ kinking. Much easier.

Outstanding! I got a RMA label and will send mine out soon.

Thanks guys.
