    I put springs of different wgts in until the dot was returning the best.

    12 or 13 variables were the best for me and my grip etc.

    Gun has never failed to run, When I holster it I have my thumb behind the slide to hold it in battery.

    BUT

    I do that with everything but 1911/2011's

    Thanks a lot! I shall try one or two

    I run 12lbs variable in my 3

    They in theory, open softer and lock up softer so supposed to stop or ease front sight/dot dip.

     

    I run variables on all my 1911/2011 so that's what I had when I was testing springs for shot to shot recovery FWIW! 

    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.

    I like acme bullets too but I thought they were only red. I also like bayou bullets.

    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?

    Yes, I noticed seeing SP becoming more smokey back in the winter when I got into a new jug.......and more carbon in the gun too. 


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

    I have one and am not totally sold on it. On the clock there’s really no difference if I’m gripping the gun properly. Maybe it’s useful as a reference point if nothing else. It fits my holster without mods fine but have heard some have to modify theirs. I honestly don’t think it’s a “game changer” for the platform. Then again I’m not sure my heavy TXG grip module is any better than my stock X5 grip as the timer doesn’t show any real difference. 

    At the end of the day it really just comes down to the fundamentals.  

    Well said and I agree.

    I was thinking of getting one of these because I have an extended mag release. On table starts I’m having an issue with the mag release being depressed.Anyone else use one of these for that issue?

     

    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.

    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.

    The Wilson flat wire springs are shorter than regular 1911 recoil springs and they may last longer and I bet will be easier to insert on reassembly.

    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.
