I had ordered the EAA +5% extra power mag springs (#74264) and they do not match the factor spring. Did not realize it takes the standard spring to match up with the locking plate.
Thanks for the input as it saves me from ordering the wrong springs again.

What is everyone doing for replacement mag springs? The wolff springs do not fit the bottom locking floor plate. Is there a certain replacement spring to use or a specific modification to make the Wolff replacement springs work with the standard K9 17 round 9mm magazines.

Any word if Bevin is up and running again with his new reamer?

Thanks for the responses back! Just having a resource to bounce questions off of is invaluable.

Installed a new Titan hammer, extreme one piece sear and Bolo in a new Stock 2 and had a few questions.
When I installed the new Bolo I used the pin that came with it after finding the stock pin did not fit. Pin was loose and used grease to hold in place. Just would like a confirmation this is a correct install and the stock pin is not used.
After I put everything together I noticed the thumb safeties do not work. I am assuming I need to fit the safety.
I have not put in an extended firing pin block yet so assuming mine likely is not working with the factory block. What is an easy way to check this.
Have a little over 600 rounds thru and getting the odd double feed every 100 rounds. Loading to 1.11 for length. Have slightly beveled the slide bottom corner but assuming with this failure I need to bevel a little more. New gun so been tentitive on the filing.
Sent off to Grams to throat the barrel and was going to shoot it with the throated barrel before I bevel the bottom of the slide anymore in the hopes that maybe the throating has cured this.

You might want to look into replacing the plastic mag bases with metal ones. Metal should be thinner and might solve the fit issue. No, I don't know if HK makes such an animal. They might for military or other extra hard use purposes. Remember that same mag also fits the P30.
Good call!
I'll see if MecGar is making VP-9 mags.

Looking at the provisional 2017 CCP rules my VP9 will not fit the box. The frame with a magazine inserted is 5 7/16". Just long by 1/16" of the 5 3/8" maximum width. The length is fine at 7 1/4" versus the maximum length of 7 3/4".

Stock magazine springs are more than adequate for the Stock 2 and 3.. It is the CZ factory mags that need extra power springs to function properly.

Speer and Starline are my preferred.

Pick up an aftec extractor and fit it to one of your guns and see if that cures the problem. Usually the go to solution for fixing extraction issues.

650 with case feeder!

I would be interested as well. For me the factory wood grips are just the right profile but lack texture. I currently use a SSI scale on my strong side grip panel and a EGD on my weak side grip panel. The EGD has a more aggressive profile which I prefer for my weak side over the scale which has a better profile but is not as aggressive.

I switched over from my CZ Shadows to the Stock III this fall. Love the feel and extra sight radius. I am running the extreme grips which fit my hand better than the CZ. Running 125 gr Leatherheads and do not notice much difference between the CZ and Stock III. I have noticed it takes less grip pressure with the S3.
The S3 has been every bit as dependable and can go as long between cleanings. Even though the trigger is not as good as the CZ It does not hinder my shooting at all.
I am glad I made the switch.

I wonder if the VP9 will fit in the new CCP box for IDPA.
It does fit the CCP box.

Loaded except for primers!

Stock 3 for the longer sight radius. Have not tried a Limited Pro yet.

My preference is the Lee for .40. They seem to size deeper into the shoulder over the Dillion which helps on reducing the "Glock" bulge. I would also recommend the Lee crimp and full length resizing die.

I don't see how they can call a division Stock Service Pistol and then allow for modifications.
If you want to tinker with your gun, join the ESP ranks.
With this then explain the logic with one executive decision to call CZ Custom a non OEM manufacturer now all pre-2014 Shadow Targets all of a sudden went to being illegal for not only SSP but also ESP. They can only be shot in the Not For Competition class. The reason I made the comment about allowing slide milling but only for sights in SSP was to allow in the smaller non OEM manufacturers back in again and maybe prevent another future snafu with an up and coming manufacturer. I am all about minimizing tinkering in SSP but .......

I feel like the equipment rules have been slow to align with the pistol manufacturers latest offerings and/or individual shooter preferences.
One rule I would like to see changed is in SSP and allowing slide milling but only for modifying sight dovetails to allow mounting a different notch/post style sight. Been a lot of controversy with this one.

Planning to go with the ZR tactical guide rod turned down to 0.25" for 1911 springs for 9mm 125gr and 147gr pf loads. The recommendation is to use either 15 or 13lb Wilson flat wire springs. My question are the Wolff 1911 recoil springs an acceptable equal to the Wilson? I have always used the wolf recoil springs and have the 1911 springs already on hand.
