  1. I wanted to change the mainspring housing on my ATi compact but the one I got has a hole for the pin that doesn't align exactly with that of the frame. Any suggestions what to use to slightly enlarge the hole on the MSH? Thank you
  2. I would say it is from Bum Armory since I got the pistol from a dealer. I am thinking too that either the trigger bow is not moving far enough for the trip safety hook to rest on it or, the height of the trigger bow is low in dimension. If it was the 1st scenario, I wonder it there is another way to fix it instead of working on the grip safety itself. Otherwise I guess I will have to replace it. If I do, I'm looking at the X-Vario one. Any other brands you guys can suggest. Thank you
  3. I changed the trigger assembly on my Bul Armory SAS Ultralight into a modular one and now the grip safety won't work, hammer drops even if I don't activate the grip safety. Is it rear part of the bow which is the problem? Thanks
  4. Here is the most comprehensive I have found and used when I changed my trigger. I don't know if you've worked on one before, if not I highly recommend you put the frame inside a large zip bag while removing the sear cage and safety detent springs. Hope this helps.... http://www.olegnikitin.com/news/complete-disassembly-assembly-of-cz-75-sp-01-shadow

    124g Ammo

    Tnx for the reply. A buddy mentioned to me the "Chubbies" from Stand1 Armory, I hope there is someone who has tried it here

    124g Ammo

    This is the closest room in the forum that I can think of that will suit my question so I hope I'm right Having read that 147g rounds have some problem with the CZ75 SP01 Shadow I decided I'd try the 124g. I don't reload so I would like to read comments/suggestions as to which commercial brand works best on my pistol. I shoot USPSA by the way. I know for a fact the best answer would be to try, just looking at having a list to work on and decide which one to try. Thanks
  7. Planning on transitioning to th e 147g from 115g and would like to hear from those who use them for USPSA. Is the recoil reduction and faster sight return/acquisition significant? Anyone with experience using those "chubbies" from Stand1 Armory? Thanks
  8. I just received mine from Atibal after I sent a Strike Eagle for trade-in. Here is my observation.... - To my eyes (YMMV), the glass is better - Eye relief is a little more forgiving @ x8 - x1 looks more like x1.5 (not a big deal to me) - Turrets are tight and tactile - Diamond reticle is good and draws my eyes to the target - Reticle illumination is good....I'd say on a sunny day setting #8 worked fine for me - Optic finish is good, matte coating and I like that the turret cover are slim and the threads are brass Sighted-in @50 yds, shot plates @ 200 & 300yds using 55g factory ammo. The reticle hash marks are accurate on the mentioned distance. Do I like it better than the StrikeEagle? Yes. Am I happy with it? Yes....I got a x8 optic at no extra cost and a good one at that. Before I sent in mine for the trade-in I did the numbers. Vortex will come out with a x8 as well but I think the price will be in the range of $400-$475. If I sell the StrikeEagle, I'd say the most I will probably get is around $275 since obviously its value will go down. Not wanting to shell out anymore cash, I took the gamble and won. Bottom line, I'm happy and satisfied with it and yes, it came with a free lever!
  9. I just took out my disconnector, adjusted my over/pre-travel and that was it.
  10. Thanks for the relies guys, looks like Syracuse is out of business already. Decided to get one from Odin Works, let's see how it works
  11. JAustin316....is your Syrac the clamp-on type? Maybe you can PM me your source for the Superlative, help a brother in need lol. Tnx
  12. Tnx for the tip, still looking for a picture of one on the Shadow though
  13. Hmm...didn't thought about that! But did it drop right in?
  14. Has anyone tried using the Nitro Fin thumb rest (CZ, TANFO model) from Shooting Sports Innovation? I plan to get one for my SP01 Shadow and would like to hear from those that have used it. Need info as to whether it dropped in or needed modification. Perhaps a picture too. Thanks
  15. The inside diameter of the midwest industries hand guard is 1.3" uf I remember it right. Checked the Syrac website and looks like it is no longer working. I may have to measure it manually if I don't find info online.
  16. Planning to change my handguard to Midwest Ind G3 MLok freefloat LW, anyone here knows or tried if the clamp-on Syrac adj gas block will fit? Tnx

  18. I honestly have not heard nor read anything bad about Ernie Hill. I did order my holster from him more than a year ago and got it in a week. I am surprised that he has not been responding to emails or calls. He usually would post on FB but have not seen anything recently. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that everything is ok on his side. If all efforts to reach him prove futile, try getting in touch with Guga Ribas himself. Ernie is one of Guga's distributor here in the US.
  19. I shoot mainly limited and looking at getting the pouch from Guga Ribas. Any one here who is using one or has used one and can compare the pros and cons between that and the Double AA besides the material? Tnx
  20. I am looking at getting them....any one here knows who has the best price? Thanks
  21. Kimberacp, For some reason I can't send you a message here, don't know why. Send me an email to ad5md@yahoo.com and I will give you a coupon code.
  22. Jumped on the trigger and got the Vortex Strike Eagle after receiving an email from Optics Planet about the ongoing sale that they have. Plus, was able to use a discount coupon so from $329.99, came down to $274.52 shipped. Thanks guys
